[ At 9PM on the 1st, all phones or Retrospec-enabled devices will show flickering screens, until a static-filled image appears. It seems to be a security camera shot, in black and white from a high angle, of a simple computer room. Inside is Joanne Wiseman who many of the users may recognize - she looks young, blonde curls loose around her shoulders, and she also looks tired still.

A young man who looks only slightly older than her comes in. He's dark-haired with a sweater and glasses, but a white labcoat that matches hers as well. Maurice comes over to stand nearby, watching the screen Joanne is looking at.

Neither of them seem to realize they're being recorded. Joanne looks up, and speaks first. ]


Did R and D know anything?

[ Maurice shakes his head, says: ] No. They can't track them down either - it's almost as if...

[ Joanne: ] They have to be somewhere.

[ Maurice: ] Jim's trying to figure it out. You know we don't have anyone better at...ah, "creative" solutions?

[ Joanne: ] No, I know, just...what if their souls are just, just -

[ Maurice: ] I don't think they're gone. I mean - well, they're gone, but I don't think they're gone? You remember August, the one before last. They're, uh, pretty tough?

[ Joanne: ] We're usually able to at least try to help them when we can, though!

[ Maurice: ] Jo - look, we're doing everything we can. We'll find them.

[ Joanne: ] Before they do?

[ Maurice: ] Right. I mean...we have to, don't we?

[ They both look worried. Before they do was said with a certain inflection - and hey, Retrospec. It looks like the employees have lost track of you for the month. How do you feel about that one? ]

As of this post, character usernames are back to being their own names - or rather, characters will be prompted to put in their name as a boot screen loads. Now's your chance to change your preferred name, Retrospecters - but it appears whatever you put in will be locked in as your choice. Hope you didn't put in something ridiculous!

That's good to hear! Sorry you were dealing with all of that.

It really does seem to be an incredibly strange concept, doesn't it?

Thank you, but I really don't feel comfortable accepting sympathy considering the number of people I seriously injured last month.

Hitori Togusa I know, right!?
Hitori Togusa Dear Retrospec Executive Board. Whoever you are, you've either never experienced, or you've forgotten what it was like to be a user. Please rectify this by putting Joanne in charge and giving Maurice a pay raise.
Hitori Togusa Also, please no more guns in the mail, thank you.

Oh dear. If you ever want to talk about it sometime, I'll listen. Though I can imagine it's not something you really want to talk about where everyone can see...

We have little bits of good luck here and there, but for something involving unreality...

It never does turn out well, does it? I suppose we'll just have to hope that things stay relatively stable for us now and none of us are spirited away to a jungle or the bottom of the ocean or something.

[Al didn't quite like seeing his full name here. So he just put "Al". As his username.]

Everyone is alive right?

and not infected with anything more than a cold?

I seriously don't know how I feel about this one, who is "they". Us, or whoever was hacking them a while ago?

Who were those two anyway? Gosh, all the freaking questions...

I'm forty-two now, does that mean I've an open field to make Douglas Adams jokes? Is that a thing young people still know about? I don't really know!

Regardless, does anyone want to come with me for some community service for sorts at the cemetery?

. . . I wonder what the point of recording this is. And which souls.

Well...being able to swim really well was nice, and I was really productive with my music.

Though I don't miss wanting to infect everyone around me. That was bad.

It's fine. Who hasn't attempted to murder a few people over minor insults and sliced off a total stranger's arm, right?

I even remembered to make it red, that's sufficiently gothy, right?
