[ 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!

Two of them!? What do they say?!

I got one a while ago and that's how I got my magic fire knife!

[coronae]

one is a "precious friend" and the other is "the strongest weapon".

[flametheif40]

Precious friend? Yeah, you might want someone to come along.

Someone told me they found a crane in the mailbox and he had to get the poor thing out!

I also wonder what weapon you're going to get, OH! What if it has magic!

[fiddlestick]

You got infected too?

And I could probably help with the item slip if you need someone. What's the descriptions?

[coronae]

a "precious friend" and the other is "the strongest weapon"!

and i did! :( a few times actually??? lots of people wanted me to be a monster.

[fiddlestick]

Precious friend sounds cute....and wow, strongest weapon? Were you a fighter?

Oh yikes. [...] Was Luci one of them?

[thesettingsun]

Turning in slips is really easy, I've done it a million times. You'll be fine.

We were going to talk again right around now, I think?

[coronae]

yes!!!! i'm still doing okay. :) i'm confused, but i was confused last month, too.

[thesettingsun]

Confusion is a pretty constant thing when you have the app.

[jurai]

Item slip?

Like some kind of lost and found or what

[Someone's newer than he thought...]

[coronae]

i got them in the mail! sort of. apparently if you take them to the mailbox near wiffle waffle you get items from your past life??

[jurai]

[...Wait.]

We can get things from our past lives too?


This situation's just full of surprises.

[mincingminuet]

Extra sorry I pinched you.

[coronae]

[mincingminuet]

I mean. yes, but it still sucks to do to someone.

A lot of people were infected last month. It's not just you, Rayne-san. It's not your fault.

The slips though, that probably means you have something back from your other life?

[coronae]

apparently! i just don't want to mess up getting them.

[keystaff]

I know. You're newer to all this. But it's not that hard. I'm sure if you need it someone can help you through it. A lot of us have done it plenty of times before.

[notyourutopian]

Hi Rayne.

I've been putting off picking something up with a ticket, myself. So if you really want some company, I'll come along.

[coronae]

i do! i don't want to mess up getting anything out???

un: lucille

[interlucere]

I can go with you! I want to see what you get!!

[coronae]

that'd be great! :) when would you have time?

[coronae]
