[ 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!

Good, because I certainly have no intention of changing!
thesettingsun: smile (cross me somewhere in the street)

Anyone who wants you to change clearly just doesn't appreciate you enough.

Precisely! I'm perfect just the way I am! ☆

It must be nice to be completely perfect.

Oh, it is! ☆ But I certainly did have to go through a lot to get to this point, so the suffering was more than worth it~!

You should write a memoir, I'm sure it'd make Recolle's bestseller list in no time.

I'd consider it, but given how important my family is back in Germany, I'm fairly sure my parents would kill me for spilling any of their secrets!
thesettingsun: smile (while I've gone on my own way)

Probably not worth it then.

[He doesn't know much of Jaeger's pre-Recolle history, but he knows enough to know that Jaeger might not be exaggerating here.]

Tragic that your life's lessons will be lost to time.

[his parents aren't that terrible, probably!!]

It really is such a shame... Oh well, no sense getting hung up on that!
thesettingsun: smile (and I should've)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-08 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[do they also get people killed like their son]

You've already left more than a big enough mark on the world yourself, a memoir would just be excessive anyway.

[well i mean. he had to get it from somewhere.]

It's true! I really have made quite a name for myself over the years!

[it's not a good name???? oh my god.]
thesettingsun: mad (I won't walk to you)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-11 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's a fantastic name, excuse.]

Exactly. You should get a medal for your contributions.

[contributions to what...]

I really should! I work so hard, after all~! ☆

[why did you think it was a good idea to indulge this man...]
thesettingsun: smile (so I can propose you for one more dance)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-14 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Because friendship!]

What do you want the medal to say? I can whip you up a prototype in MS Paint.
