[ 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!

[Finally, someone who recognizes his talent!]

Oh okay, so I'm not TOO far behind. Time did get kind of weird with October's everything.

So...

When do I meet the lucky fella?

[Crow, no.]

[fiddlestick]

Haha, yeah. You're not too far behind at all. In fact, just my family and my roommates know so you're ahead of most!

Oh, you wanna meet him?

Well, anytime really! I'm sure he'd love to meet you too.[He's told Eren a lot about his memories, about Class VII. So surely Eren would like to meet someone from there.

Rip Crow.]

[jurai]

Well now I just feel special.

You bet I want to meet him! If we're gonna be sharing a past life's memories together, gotta know who's important to you in this one, too.

What's he like?

[Hard-working, so...you're screwed from the start.]

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, you're a little special. [You saved him and you're from Class VII. You're racking up the affection points here]

Right. And the same goes for you! We might share a past life, but it's this one that's really important- so I wanna know about yours too!

My fiance? Well, he's very driven, hard-working, and compassionate. Right now, he's studying to be a paramedic at RU. We won't actually get married until we both finish with school, but he wanted to make things official.

[Aw, Elliot, it's been a few minutes and he's already getting special treatment. Truth be told, he didn't know what world he came from, but now that he knows ELLIOT comes from his, supposedly? It's a little comforting to take all of this in.

But that description raises his eyebrows for a multitude of reasons..

A paramedic at RU, huh. That meant Elliot's fiancee had a 90% chance of being in his class. Maybe it was Gunther? Or maybe Ted...He could see Andrew being into a music nerd like Elliot. Andrew liked music. Probably.]

He sounds like the perfect guy for you if you ask me. I'm not gonna pretend I've been down that road, but I've had love and loss, so I'm no stranger.

Annnd if you're a man of your word

Which you are

Sounds like we'll get along just fine.

[He knows it. Most of the guys in Emergency Care class were pretty chill.]

[fiddlestick]

[Sorry Crow, it is none of those guys and is instead the object of your nightmares himself. Not that Elliot is aware of that. Crow never came up with Eren. ]

Haha, thanks Crow. Really.

You DO seem like a pretty easy guy to get along with, so even if I'm a little nervous, I'm not too worried.

[But really, he should've been more worried]

[jurai]

[Let him live in his safe fantasy ok.]

I'll do my best to make a good first impression, promise

He'll wonder who that big responsible classy guy is walking through the doors and you can be like

That's Crow

My past life buddy

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, I'm sure you do great.

And hey! Past life buddy! I like the sound of that.
