INCEPTION MAKES EVERYTHING INTENSE
Beta#0901185204
The things that we did during the last few months aside, I’m pretty sure that Zee being killed is the same for everyone’s memories. I didn’t get a chance to say this before, but now is better than later. I spoke to him before he went offline and pieced some memories together to make more sense of everything:
— When we shared dreams in July, we fell in between layers and disappeared from Retrospec’s radar, someplace Zee didn’t have access to.
— They’re suspecting this was caused by Clarence Vanderweele (or something allied with him). And if that’s true, it’s what’s been causing all the problems we’ve been having related to Retrospec since February and until now, maybe even farther back.
— He’s a master at creating illusions, which is why we “disappeared” every night, just like the nonapp users in June. They feel like tests to make us disappear from Retrospec’s sights.
— Zee said that he was going to try his best to fix things while we most likely had to “deep dive” to fix the other ends he couldn’t reach; I saw someone on the app before it went down say that he was going to try something called a counter wave. If anyone shared dreams again, it was this.
— The puzzles were also a call for is to remember ourselves, if anyone else did them. [ with comment is a photo attachment of the puzzle completed on a library table; eren’s is a picture of his silhouette from behind, opening a door with the quote: "Turn him to any cause of policy, the Gordian Knot of it he will unloose, familiar as his garter." ]
— Speaking in riddles and not being direct is also an industry standard. I wish I could’ve had the time to punch him just a little bit, but. There would be a lot more people freaking out or at their throats than understanding and ready to help.
I have a post with its comments copied on a gdoc here before the app went down, I always save these. It’s got information about the layers and the Retrospec founders, including why Vanderweele was kicked off the program and should be dead when he isn’t.
I don’t know how many others noticed what was wrong in the castle by the beach— the resort getup completely deteriorated, just like an illusion, and someone on the phone said something in this flash drive. [ he uploads the file, and the voice says: “You have to get out of here. Please. Get us out of here.” ]
Not counting the carnival we all just got shepherded to and the blocked off Retrospec rooms. Everything just feels completely off, and I’m not going to play around with stall games while something really wrong could be happening. Is Happening. Our lives aren’t toys and we’re being played, I trust Wall Maria appearing more than I trust getting led to Rainbowland right now.
Calling Retrospec our enemy or a pain in the ass for “taking” color and taste away is superficial and petty when vengeance is targeting us to get to them. And with another app user killing criminals, including Zee off when these are all things that’re happening makes us farther from united than we already were. I don’t know about you guys, but this reality I was born in now is the only home I want, so I’ll do whatever I have to to fight for it.
Getting rid of people you think don’t matter, for whatever reason, is worth jack shit too if you’re dead right along with us.

Also I agree that killing people is just wrong, no matter what. Regardless if they're a criminal or not. They don't deserve death, no matter what, because that means that they won't be allowed to repent.

But in the end, they're practically children, and being manipulated right along with us. I want to unveil our collective enemy and end this once and for all. Whatever strategy you formulate, Eren, you have my support.

Strategy isn’t really my specialty. Who’s this?

Well said. It's been a long time coming, if you ask me. I hope your call to arms is successful.
no subject
We’ll see how successful when the next problem comes swinging.

Alpha#02010681 Do you think Zee succeeded, before he was killed? Is that how we all got the chance to break the illusion?
no subject
Which illusion?

They could be doing that to protect him and buy time, but it’s still speculation. I don’t want to keep running on those. We should make due with what we have then what we don’t.
no subject
I've been wondering...don't they think vigilantism is also criminal?
Moving on. Have you been printing things out? Or handwriting everything, if you're particularly ambitious.
Not that it seems that much more difficult to alter physical objects than difficult ones, but if the last months are anything to judge by, we notice the changes more readily.
[Boy their relationship has jumped through a few different hoops over these past couple of months.]

If you go by the law, but no one that thinks like that really does.
I have a notebook with both if I don’t have the time to write it out, but I try and keep everything. [ good old copy pasta ] Since last year.

Did anyone else notice the logo?
no subject
That’s not the same color I remember, but beyond that. We didn’t get any sort of communication after the city glitched out, no posts, the last one being “Zee is dead”, and some detached SOS and then they’re welcoming us like nothing’s happened?
Something’s fucked.

none of this sounds very optimistic but at least there's SOME answers.
if it's just suspicions, how do you think we go about confirming that's what's going on?
no subject
Either we’ll get more evidence if we dig (or him, literally) or Retrospec’s going to cough it up eventually. I’m not planning on waiting for industry standard, though.

As someone whose past life centered around the judgement of mankind, I'm not surprised that someone among us is targeting Retrospec, nor do I necessarily blame them.
no subject
All you need for someone to become an angel or a devil is context. I don’t want to be friends with Retrospec, I just don’t want another living hell of a life to die in. There’s more to live for than not. Maybe it’s like that for more people on here, maybe not.

not trying to be an asshole, just wondering.

We can’t do any of this alone, and we’ll do much less without Retrospec still standing.

I didn't expect any of the application users would have the power to touch Retrospec employees like that.
There has been something off about the entire month, starting with how we didn't get our monthly industry standard vagueness. I don't trust anything, but how much would you consider this digitized version of the city the product of the application we know and how much do you consider it a product of vengeance?
no subject
It feels like it’s going both ways? It’s hard to believe the company has zero say in what’s been happening, but I can’t see how it isn’t being influenced by the outside source either.
If you stop to think about it, that’s pretty much what’s been happening since the minute you got the app. It’s always been Retrospec trying to fix problems while the problems change what they can.
