Safe mode is now offline. Please be aware the infectant is still live. Manual debugging required. Retrspec Incorporated Per the mod plotting post, you may use this post to obtain one of this month's freebies! This month's freebie can be earned by turning in a thread on this post that has 10 or more consecutive comments from you. Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Alphas, Betas, and Epsilons will notice that network posts will continue to be tagged without names attached but rather their newly issued IDs. OOCly, IDs are comprised of their title, the date they showed up on the app, and the digits on your character's inbox post. So for example, the Recollé NPC who was on the app would have an ID of Beta#0201188329. While user pictures can be displayed, Retrospec users will also experience broken pixels on occasion that obscure the face of whoever they're speaking to. (i.e. we will allow for players to play with an anonymous option if they wish.)

She seems nice enough to

Guess we have to debug first and see

[sunnyspot]

Yeah. And it's still early in the month, so they could pull a surprise on us at any time.

[strawberrypunch]

We'll have to keep our fingers crossed

That they'll be back and that we can get this fixed again.

[sunnyspot]

I'm sure something else will break in the process of fixing it, but that's just how Retrospec works. It's always something.

But at least it keeps things interesting.

[strawberrypunch]

Not the kind of interesting most people seem to like.........

[Almost like people take issue with reality regularly being torn apart.]

[sunnyspot]

[Wow, fascinating!]

Well, no, but there's never a boring day around here. Even when Retrospec is laying low, one of us is usually starting trouble somewhere.

[strawberrypunch]

...Like that case recently

[sunnyspot]

...That's one example, to put it lightly.

[strawberrypunch]

Yeah

There's a lot of people who have been getting powers, so...

[Maybe it was inevitable...]

[sunnyspot]

Sorry if this is too personal, but have you gotten anything like that, Tatsuma? Powers or abilities, things like that.

[strawberrypunch]

Yeah I have things like super strength and speed and I can see ghosts and things like that

[sunnyspot]

All of that? That's amazing. It's like you're a character in a fantasy novel.

I'm still as ordinary as ever, so I can't imagine what it would be like to suddenly have all of those abilities.

[strawberrypunch]

It's weird mostly

Especially seeing and hearing ghosts

But it makes it easier to help people

[Even if... Even if that might not have been his original purpose.]

[sunnyspot]

You're a thoughtful person. Helping people with those abilities is probably the best thing you can do.

[strawberrypunch]

I think that's what my past self tried to do too

There weren't too many people who could fight like him

[sunnyspot]

So he was a fighter. That's really different from anything I've experienced, but I bet it comes in handy here, if you can do it too.

Being able to see ghosts sounds... difficult. I know saying that doesn't mean anything, but it sounds like it could be rough.

[strawberrypunch]

Yeah

I've been able to help people especially when there's monsters and stuff like that

Ghosts..... well I'm used to them now. Most people believe me when I say I can see them and I'd like to help them too if I can

[sunnyspot]

You don't seem like the fighting type, but that's really cool. Helping people when they're in danger.

I see... I've always heard that ghosts are associated with painful memories and people that have unfinished business in the living world, so I'm not surprised you'd want to help.

[strawberrypunch]

Really?

I learned kendo growing up

[Though, unawares by him, that's a "new" development.]

Most of them seem like they just can't move on or don't want to

Except for the ones in the subway that are trapped

[sunnyspot]

Kendo seems interesting. I admire people who can dedicate themselves to something like that.

So it's like that after all... I can't relate much, but you're a good person, Tatsuma.

[strawberrypunch]

My family runs a dojo so...

[Hard to just skip out on learning it.]

I just want to do what I can

I don't think my teacher's on the app anymore, so I'll have to try harder to help them on my own

[sunnyspot]

Really? Now that you say it, though, you do have that kind of inherent disciplined nature about you. (That's a compliment, by the way.)

Honestly, when it comes to how crazy Retrospec can be, doing what you can is more than enough.

[strawberrypunch]

I think you're the first person to say that

Thank you

And that's true. Maybe it's because I can see them, so I feel like I should do more

Because not too many people can

[Help is so limited...]

[sunnyspot]

There's no need to thank me, but you're welcome.

I may not have any powers or anything, but if there's ever anything I can do to help you out, let me know. I'd lend a hand anytime.

[strawberrypunch]

If you ever have time to walk through the graveyard and read some of the names

The ghosts might appreciate it
