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?

Hitori Togusa Finally, you admit it. There’s somebody else out there going against Retrospec.
Hitori Togusa Theories back on the table? Let’s hear it.

Hitori Togusa The guy who was trying to buy out Pesgare couldn’t have been acting alone. Other people were mentioning someone in Bosuma? Who else have we run into who actually seems to SEE that something is happening?

TELL THEM TO STOP BEING JERKS AND HACKING RETROSPEC THEN!!!
everything is getting worse than usual and they need to stop :/

im sorry zee i know its not your fault but also i would like things to go back to normal please???
more normal anyway

y is it when somethin bad happens not a goddamn ONE of yall ever knows how to goddamn FIX it like i know we aint payin u but with how important u make ur jobs sound dont u think u should be THE BEST AT IT?

Hacked? Project? I wish I knew what was going on better...

It’s hard to feel safe these days.

I’ll also never get used to purple bushes and green stop signs. The colors are all out of place.

Great, I don't know what's worse, Retrospec clearly not being our friends, or Retrospec being hacked by people even worse than them.

The sheer amount of times they've tried to fix crap only to make it worse makes me wonder if this is just an excuse.

So you have enemies.
Or we have enemies, I suppose, if we're on your 'team'...

Hm.

Yet outside of their interference, we haven't seen any actual evidence of them, have we?

I think at this point it's a worthwhile point to wonder why we bother helping you at all when you have no guarantee of keeping any of us safe. So much for trying to preserve souls, I suppose.

wait

are we inside of a computer?

has someone actually been able to get in touch with the "techs" to bother them? it was my impression all the employees but you ignored everything we had to say.

i've had enough of this either way. work harder.

Look, we're totally in an AI right guys? This is like a simulation and we're just computer things and none of this stuff is real and they're probably gonna start messing with our code or something to make us go crazy. It's cliche movie plot #59!

...I was hoping for aliens, but I guess sci-fi killer AIs and robots are cool.

We gotta fight the system!

Someone reprogram me to have super strength super speed super teleportation and super disintegrating eye beams.

None of these updates ever seem to be good, but at least they're being candid about this, for once.

[Not that it's all that comforting....]

That said... does anyone know of a place that's been recovered recently that accepts unwanted clothing? Or have any children in elementary school looking for costumes? I've come across something that I don't particularly want or have any use for.

[And attached is a picture of a rather... intricate princess costume and fluffy blond wig, although it's laid out over a bed as opposed to being actually modeled by Xiaolang because WHY WOULD HE]

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Haha, holy fuck, we're being hacked? Someone's hacking the city? That's a thing that people can do?

All right, fine. If it ain't your fault, we'll fuck them up right back. I know you're not gonna respond to this, but I get the feeling we're gonna get asked to track 'em down. I'll be there soon as we have some clues. And we'll figure out what the fuck it means for a city to get hacked later.

This is MY city and no one messes with it. And if there's any newbies to the app this month -- it's yours, too. Welcome to the shitshow.

Photoshop?

[Is. Is that what they mean by layers.]

Thanks for nothing, I guess. We don't really have a choice but to bear with you, Zee.

You're being hacked? What's their deal anyways? Do they have fun messing with us that much? Screw that.

This is stupid.

Wait? Hacked? There's someone coming in from the outside to hack the network that has our real names and other things we've put on here? It's hard to bear with it when something like this happens.

Is the network even safe anymore?

as if we have any way of bothering the tech department in the first place, considering that they're still out there being shut-ins as usual

i know that you're not going to reply to this like the rest of you, but what the fuck do you mean someone's hacking from the outside
i thought this app's unhackable??? why is it suddenly possible?
we've been working our ass off trying to stabilize this city for MONTHS now, but are we seriously getting somewhere with this?
because it seems like we aren't

no thanks
not that it really means anything but its the thought that counts right?
i mean at best youre shit at your jobs and at worst youre actively malicious

either way guess it explains how lazy the memories have gotten
from some weird spy novel to ripping off a soap opera for plotlines

wow. who wouldve ever thought tampering with reality and souls could backfire somehow.
im shocked.

heads up for new people: when retrospec admits somethings fucking wrong
thats usually when shit really hits the fan.

yikes, not the best message from Retrospec to come back to

I heard the gist of what happened last month from Elliot, but I'd like to hear from other people too. Bring on your info dumps

also, having my first break up while being a civilian sucked. A lot. Even if it was done on good terms. Tell me your favorite comfort food, or even better, send me the recipe so I can make it and then eat until I'm fit to burst

So we have a culprit that's not them

I guess

That means things are probably gonna get worse before they get better

New poll: what else can we possibly lose at this point and what's more likely to go next

Our sense of smell hasn't been fucked with yet so I'd say that's a strong contender, except it also makes sense that at this point whatever happens next will be big

Hacking? Layer theory?

It sounds like you're in trouble. And, of course it's going to involve us, too. As usual.

?????
okay i'm confused again
what is the project??? why do they keep saying weird things about layers??? what does this have to do with hacking???

just make the world normal again and leave us alone
my brain hurts trying to understand it all...

Well, good to know.

All that aside: how can you tell if you're hallucinating something or not?

Interesting how you ask us to bear with it when there are no answers for what's happening. I hope you'll be able to solve things soon along with an explanation of the current changes to the city.

I'll try to keep my faith in the network.

...For now...

well that’s
really bad
I mean don’t worry I won’t bother the people trying to keep our universe from being hacked or w/e（；^ω^）
but uhm
“someone who knows layer theory better than we do”
that sounds like a super villain
I’m pretty sure I didn’t sign up for super villains >_<
then again I guess most people don’t
