retrospec | (no subject)

LISTEN UP. Retrospec can read this all they like, I don't care. their cameras were trained on me the entire time I combed through their office anyway. they INVITED me there. so here I am, putting my findings out here so that all users can access it. you can respond helpfully, or cower behind your phones in silence, and to what end? Retrospec already knows about your precious secrets. or have you gnats forgotten that already??

respond if you know any of the following names:
Dante Sparda
Irene Greenland
Machi Tobaye
Jyushimatsu Ono
Matt Miller

give me evidence that you know them, and we can talk more. don't waste my time with "OOOH I MET THEM ONCE"s if there's no substance. a single detail about their history will suffice as proof.

and since I expect the lot of you to share any information you find in the future, in this fashion... what the REST of you need to know is that I found files on these people in an unlocked room in the Retrospec building. apparently some of these people were once Retrospec users, but for some reason they're not anymore. (you can extend your gratitude to Dave for sorting through all of your nonsense to locate posts by these people.) these files documented their personal histories. DETAILED, by the way. are they accurate? that's what I'm trying to figure out.

ohhh right: the note pictured was clipped only to that file. make of this what you will.

gooood. I'm counting on you

so do you want the sort of good news or the bad news first

oh?

ohhh? you found something, did you? I'll save the bad news for later. good news first, bad news second.

sort of good news, not completely good news, but I guess it's still enough for our purposes

anyways, like you said Sparda and Miller were connected to RU, they were in some sort of video production class together as far as I can tell. Tech rental records show that a camera was checked out under both their names some time ago, and it hasn't been returned yet

the bad news is that's the ONLY record I could find related to them. Resource Admin should have their student info on paper and electronic file, and I looked for myself but

well, their FOLDERS are there. Their FILES and their INFO aren't. I'm thinking that maybe the files you have could be what was taken from here?

oh, and nobody seems to remember that Sparda and Miller existed, even when I showed them the folders and the tech rental records. Kind of eerily like how people in the city forgot about horses...

that lines up with what's in their files. they take that class and also have a hobby made of it, which explains the camera. but no student records? no word of them whatsoever?? isn't there a TIME LIMIT on checking out cameras? a due date? I should think that staff members would care a little more about an expensive piece of equipment like a camera, but to stare the folders in the face and say they have no clue...

it IS like the horses, exactly. somebody I spoke to said she showed drawings of horses to people, and they treated her like it was a made-up beast. this is the same. what gives??

now we're getting back into the realm of crazy sci-fi speculation. If this Janet wanted to 'rewrite' something in Miller's files and/or start off new, what did she do, exactly? Did whatever she rewrite affect his...idk what to call it, his existence? Our reality? And if the horses and whatever happened to Miller are the same, then why would horses of all things be changed?

if only there were a way to track down the camera, it'd be a long shot but there could've been something on it with a clue...

finding THAT camera, specifically, would be against the odds... but knowing it exists is handy knowledge. it's better to have arsenal of all sorts in a situation like this, even if it's a card that never needs to be played.

while I'm sitting here, rereading the files and considering the reasons Miller's file might need "rewriting"... tell me, what's usually contained in the files over there? unless RU's files catalogue data from early childhood until present day, I don't think my files are the missing ones.

the usual student info

general stats and addresses of both home and current residence, family/guardian and emergency contact, classes, list of previous schools for transfer students, grades, financial history as is applicable to loans. There's also club membership lists, and places of work, rap sheets if they're the delinquent types, health records if they use the university clinics, and so on

so yeah you're probably right but there's still a LOT of stuff here, with potential to follow other paper trails. Students give their universities more of their personal info than I thought they would...
