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?

No need. I just didn't know it was a thing. Guess they decided to take a second chance on you, whatever that means.

You need, like, catching up on anything, or are you good?

Honestly, I’ll take the second chance. I hate the idea of all of this shit happening under my nose and being clueless.

As far as catching up goes, I have a couple of folks helping me out. I appreciate the offer.

Yeah. The memories and everything that happens to our bodies and whatever are worth actually being able to do something productive and fight back against all this shit. Don't think I'd be able to survive if I had to ignore it again, honestly.

[Mariko doesn't have the heart to tell her that leaving and coming back feels way more slippery in her mind than it should be.]

Honestly, for now I'm kind of over the shock of coming back. My question is, what happens to us when we remember everything? It's not like our Other's memories are erasing who we are right now.

What, EVERYTHING everything? No idea. I know people who've been here from when the app got debuted who haven't remembered everything yet.

Don't know if Retrospec has a plan for when that starts happening. I mean, it's their goal, so they probably have something, but they sure as hell ain't telling us.

That’s the part I don’t fucking like - that we’re blowing in the wind while they have at least some idea of an end game. I feel like I want a drink or five before I start going down that train of thought.

Yeah, same. I think at least people have ruled out that they want us to be soldiers in some kind of war they're fighting... but if they still just want us to bear with them while the city get attacked, then here the fuck we are anyway.

Fortunately, I think a pretty big group of us are developing powers or combat training so by some kind of a miracle we won't be sitting ducks. Half a silver lining.

Yeah, I can fight with a sword. Like, really fucking well. Works really well on the monsters out there.

All the combat training in the world ain't gonna prepare me if I have to use it on a human, though.

The training will help, if it ever comes down to it. But it's good that you're thinking about the consequences of that.

Yeah. Girl in my memories did a mercy kill and even that's a little much. Plus I doubt knowing Togusa will help if I'm facing aggravated murder.

You know Togusa?

Not well. We talked on the network a little last month, mostly about how important the city is. Think I scared him off when I started talking about jumping off a floating island into a dragon's talons.

One, that doesn't surprise me, Two -memory bullshit aside - that sounds badass

It was. Wasn't my dragon, but I had enough going on. Fire inside my chest, wings on my back, sword in my hand. Looked like a damn metal album.
