Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures; newcomers are locked into their first choice. Upon opening this entry at all, characters will find themselves spammed with notifications and strange glitched texts until they make some sort of suggestion for a new application feature on the Retrospec app. This can range from a personalized friends list to a watermelon image gallery to a watergun charging station. It doesn't have to make sense or be useful - it just has to be a suggestion, at which point the application will return to normal. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

comprendo y escribo español bastante bien pero no hablo muy bien todavía

deutsch... nicht so viel

[voicelessresistance]

Estoy impresionada.

German would be a good choice, then.
They're up and coming in the world of business.

Or Chinese, I suppose, but that is a bit out of my skill set.

[darkinferno]

don't be. my father did a lot of touring around west europe when i was with him. after a while you pick it up

i'll have to consider it. who knows? maybe you'll see me in your next german class

[voicelessresistance]

For most people it's rather harder than you just described, I think.

But if you have an ear for languages like that, you really shouldn't pass up the chance to use it.

togusa

[darkinferno]

[continued from here]

Dante Rantanen hold on you're suggesting that there might be a DIFFERENT entity out there that's doing all of this and that we're only unaffected because retrospec is keeping us from being affected?

[Togusa's right. That is a terrifying thought. At least if Retrospec is responsible, he knows where to pin his blame. But if it's something else... well, then they've got a lot more work ahead of them figuring this thing out.]

Dante Rantanen much as i hate to admit it that's a really good point
Dante Rantanen i hadn't even considered that angle
Dante Rantanen how do we figure out if that's the case?

Re: togusa

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa It just struck me as odd that what was different between us and everyone else is that something did not affect us. If you really think about it.
Hitori Togusa I keep trying to find some way to force Retrospec to make a move. Get their intentions out in the open. Maybe I should stop that.
Hitori Togusa And maybe I should find a better way to get a more private meeting instead.

Hitori Togusa Have you tried going to their headquarters yet?

[darkinferno]

Dante Rantanen okay but what about these weird flashes of memory people are having
Dante Rantanen that's something that IS affecting us but no one else as far as i know
Dante Rantanen the only things we could really do to try and force retrospec to make a move are also hugely illegal
Dante Rantanen just like going to their headquarters without permission would be, officer
Dante Rantanen i didn't exactly see hours of operation on their door
Dante Rantanen but if we wanna take this off the public record
Dante Rantanen i might've gone in there on founder's day

[Aaaaaaaaand once since then with plans of breaking in again soon. But while he's fairly sure Togusa isn't trying to trap him here, he's also far too wary of the police to discuss breaking in with one on a public network.]

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa If we're going off the record, I did too.
Hitori Togusa Which isn't really illegal, they've got a public office.

Hitori Togusa The memory thing goes back to a truly insane theory about how everyone else's memories are getting affected, so give me more time before I get on that one.

Hitori Togusa If we can get a name, someone associated with the company, that would give the group of people who could initiate a civil suit someone to file against.

[darkinferno]

Dante Rantaneni meant off a public retrospec post
Dante Rantanen but i'd agree with you right now we're at a standstill
Dante Rantanen if i find anything out... i'll let you know

[Maybe. So long as his tentative trust in Togusa holds.]

Dante Rantanen just return the favor and let ME know if you find anything out too

[continued from here]

Dante Rantanen right now?
Dante Rantanen probably shove your nose into a book or dump some more fries into hot oil
Dante Rantanen in about three or four years?
Dante Rantanen look back on your college years and wish you'd done some networking to help you find a job
Dante Rantanen because turns out you don't get hired into good positions because you've got a good resume
Dante Rantanen you get hired because you know someone with an in and you never made any

[antagonize]

Jason Grace Man.
Jason Grace Do you ever get tired of trying to be contrary?
Jason Grace It's actually kind of cute.

[darkinferno]

Dante Rantanen said like i have to actually try
Dante Rantanen it's easy when the ammo is laid out there right in front of me

[antagonize]

Jason Grace Go stock up then, Rambo.
Jason Grace I'll be over here being a productive member of society.

[darkinferno]

Dante Rantanen said as if i can't multitask

[darkinferno]

[continued from here]

it's cool i did the same thing to dave when i got my first one

and yeah you think at first it'll be some hazy recollection like okay maybe i saw this in a dream once but no

like it happened five minutes ago instead

what did you remember anyways

[belligerentwarrior]

it was when i opened that file of the one with a sword.
i remembered being charged by something a lot like a bear
if bears were blue, twice as big, standing on their back feet and pissed as hell
and with a fucking rotary chainsaw. i don't know how else to describe what it was holding
all i had was some kind of spear

i think i remember calling it a behemoth

[darkinferno]

[There is a very real danger in talking about the different types of monsters they all remember. Dante winces as he feels another memory fit itself into place, this one of a gargantuan blue monster he'd known called a Behemoth.]

i gotta remember that asking these questions always results in more of these dumb flashes

i remember something called a behemoth too, but i think it's different than the one you remember

mine didn't have any rotary chainsaw, that's for sure

[belligerentwarrior]

i'd be shocked if it did. never seen anything like that. it didn't even make sense.

well, this has been educational.

[darkinferno]

for the both of us

but at least now you know what you're in for i guess

alice

[darkinferno]

[continued from here]

i think i know what you mean

not being able to go back to the place you think of as home is hard. even if you're used to it, that doesn't make it feel RIGHT, right?

[madcuriosity]

[She nods, only to remember he can't see her.]

Quite right, sir. And everyone has been very nice, but... sometimes it would be nice to wake up in the morning and see Oxford University in the distance.

[darkinferno]

yeah, i get that. i had something similar happen when i was a few years older than you

i know we only just met, but... if you need anything, feel free to ask me for help

having everything you knew pulled out from under you can be hard. i'll help you out if i can

[madcuriosity]

That's really very kind of you, thank you sir.

Oh! Ah, and should you ever need me, I'll do what I can. Alice Liddell, at your service. o(^▽^)o

[darkinferno]

and i'm dante. call me that instead of "sir," that just feels weird

take care of yourself, alice. and like i said, if you need anything, even if it's something dumb like you locked yourself out or lost something or need a lift, hit me up
