Don't bother the techs.

Seriously, don't. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but all I'm getting is that it's the equivalent of being hacked and someone who knows layer theory better than we do is out there screwing things up and tampering with the project.

I don't have a really good update for you guys, but bear with us. Please?

See, this is the kind of effort I was talking about. Emoji every other word is some real new-age sarcasm. Nouveau biche.

aww don't be like that. for what it's worth, i do agree you know. i'm not the sentimental speech type, but even i can't stand the idea of leaving my fate in someone else's hands. fighting spirit is a good thing.

Sorry, can't not be like that. Side effect of cultivating that fighting spirit since I moved here and got away from my family.

You got any questions about the app?

i can't even be mad about a burn that good. i could really feel the flames.
i'm still doing my homework on this thing. sounds like a lot's happened. so-- which are you more worried about? retrospec and it's people or the ones that are hacking them?

Was I burning you? I was just talking about my own shit. Unless you mean the nouveau biche thing, which I want framed and hanging on my wall.

Right now, the hackers. We know what Retrospec wants, even if we still don't know why and it sucks for us on a constant basis. We don't know shit about the hackers yet.

that's a poster you should sell-- i want three copies.

true. obviously they want something else, but that could mean a lot of different things. it feels counterproductive, but i suppose a temporary truce with one enemy in order to prioritize the bigger threat could be a good strategic move for us. better than being split and trying to fight two battles at once.

Hell yeah, own it. "Nouveau Biche" could be a whole fashion statement.

That's been my strategy since I got the app without even realizing it. If Bosuma and the other places showing up was all tied into this too, I mean. But I've only been on the app for four months now, so who knows. Not in the mood to fight a proxy war, but it's looking like that's what we're doing.

slap a trademark on it and you can take the world by storm. we could use an edgy new look in these times of crisis.

it's a smart move. i'm not about authority, but even i know that make too many enemies and you'll just make yourself an easy victim. as long as you don't forget what you stand for, there's no harm in using what's available to you.

We'll fight off some hackers, then we'll talk merch. Maybe you'll end up getting something in the mail that we can slap a sticker on.

You're already talking like you've been through this kind of thing before. I don't care about details, but I hope things are better now. This city has a way of fixing as much as it breaks.

all the more reason to win and put out our victory flags.

oh, just the typical family tyrant type things. at least that i know about. nothing too juicy, but they're definitely looking up, as things go.

Cool. Fuck tyrannical families. Glad it ain't a thing for you anymore.

Hell, that's something to wave a victory flag about.
