I'm pretty surprised that you can still somehow get things from Retrospec in this place. There's a lot of those dangerous bugs around and I have to ask even though a bunch of people might yell at me or be shocked or try to confiscate them from me, but.

Does anyone here sell bullets? Or like, gun equipment? I might need bags for these. I'll pay really nicely. ☆

Alpha#02010681 As usual, I have to urge you to get the gun registered with the city.
Alpha#02010681 But, right now? If you need bullets, look for a vending machine, there's at least one in every section of the city marked 'Circus of Values.' If those don't have the right caliber, the Deadeye Shooting Range is still open.

[promisedyou]

I'll probably have to if I don't want to get into trouble again... although it might have to wait until we're out of this fake version of the city. Or whatever this place is.

But a vending machine, huh? That's pretty convenient, that they have those here. I'll probably check out the shooting range though, for other reasons. Since I still feel kind of rusty? Even though I somehow know how to use them? It's weird.

[standalonehuman]

Alpha#02010681 It might still work now, turning the gun in to Public Safety, and you'll get it back with a registration card. But just to make sure, yeah, I'd wait until the city is back to...something more normal.
Alpha#02010681 I couldn't believe it when the vending machines first showed up. There's no possible way they're legal, but there they are. Thanks, Retrospec.

[promisedyou]

Yeah... since this is definitely more abnormal than. Most times.

But I guess that's pretty convenient.

[standalonehuman]

Alpha#02010681 One of the users remembers the vending machines. They're like the surgical micro-machines at the hospital, or the chocobos.
Alpha#02010681 I still don't get why Retrospec keeps bringing things like that.

[promisedyou]

It might be something to do with restoring the worlds or whatever. That's a guess.

[standalonehuman]

Alpha#02010681 It's got to be, but I almost wonder if that's the initial point of it? Retrospec 'borrowing' tech from other worlds to advance their own city?
Alpha#02010681 Take into account that subway hub we found, and maybe that was where the whole project started. And then somebody broke it.

[chaoticwhimsy]

You have a gun that works here?

[promisedyou]

Apparently.

I didn't think it'd work.

[chaoticwhimsy]

That's pretty weird.
I haven't summoned my dog in here I was afraid he'd look like something on those crazy old games my mom plays.

[promisedyou]

Right? There's probably a reason for it, though.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Oh I don't know...
I think a lot of this stuff is just random.

I mean, what could possibly be the point of sticking us in something like this?

[promisedyou]

I personally don't think that it's entirely random... but I don't know how it would all connect, either.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Hmmmmm.
Maybe the connection is that whomever does this picks this at random!

[promisedyou]

Maybe.

But I doubt it.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Sooooo let's say it's not random, then.

What do you think the point was of making people live second lives?
Or making everyone tiny?

[promisedyou]

I don't think that 'making people tiny' would have been on purpose. But living second lives... it's possible that it was for some sort of protection, but that's just a guess.

[chaoticwhimsy]

SOmeone accidentally pushed the 'make 'em small!' button? lol

Hmm.
But what could they have been protecting us from?
What I've picked up and remember, my life before and then during and then after are all similar.

[promisedyou]

Either that or some sort of glitch...? I'm not computer savvy.

And I don't know.

[chaoticwhimsy]

That weirds me out more than the idea of a button.
Not sure I wanna have a life that can glitch.

Mmmmmm
I mean I like the idea of them protecting us.
But sometimes the stuff that happens...

[maidofmistakes]

I thought you could just go to Walmart for gun stuff. I mean, it's for hunting, right? Technically.

[promisedyou]

I mean... I wouldn't expect a place like that they would have it there, of all places.

[maidofmistakes]

So it's a... special gun. Oh boy.

[promisedyou]

I mean, I wouldn't call it special?

But it's not the type of gun you'd use for hunting, I think? I'm not a gun specialist.

[maidofmistakes]

I guess... I mean, maybe there's someone who got stuff off Retrospec, too.

(i apologize if my research is shoddy, my understanding of the us is "you can get a gun at the gas station right")

[promisedyou]

Maybe.

That's why I'm asking.

[maidofmistakes]

It's pretty scary, to be honest, but so are these bugs in the first place.

[promisedyou]

Yeah. They are pretty scary... and annoying, too.

[maidofmistakes]

I guess since the city's all computer-ish now, those are... viruses?

[promisedyou]

Looks like it.

[maidofmistakes]

Which I'm gonna bet were sent by this enemy.
