[ 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!

[ wow this is amazing (and his reply is late) ]

eh i think the other me had some safety issues going on too so i guess i either should think "its only fair i have to deal with some too" or tell that guy to "stop pissing people off and getting me bad karma" or something im leaning toward the latter
so we well be squashed and somebody will inevitably step on us and blame us for their damage

maybe we will be part of some science experiment speaking of eggs

and very fucked up probably but we can only go with the flow at this point
probably at most points tbh

[unlightmusic]

Isn't all of this a science project to begin with?

Even the egg thing; aren't our lives just a fabrication being used to incubate our wayward souls?

You'd think with something so fragile, they'd have more care in any of this shit. Yet here they are, losing us. I guess even with reality-bending tech, humans are still humans.

yeah i think so

who knows maybe it is
thats a bit of a sad thought

they probably have souls to spare so it doesnt really matter if some of us disappear or breat or whatever
