[ 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!

no i dont think so??
i dont think any of the people ive remembered are humans this far
some of them are literal animals
but i dunno maybe there are issues that i just dont remember
but i can imagine that in some places not being human would be shit

Probably, Hmmm I almost want to say its "interesting" cause...would they just be racist toward, non-humans? Or still hold unto silly things like "Oh, purple eyes and white skin or else". But that is just terrible.

But I guess if the empress is a snake lady...maybe plain normal humans are a minority?

it was literally hell so
im pretty sure there has to be humans around as well
thats one of the things hell is for
punishing humans for their sins and all that
not that i know the social climate there yet

Oh...so you work in hell then after your shift you just clock out and go home? Or Does hell become your home?

I seriously have no idea which is worse.

[personal profile] yakan 2018-11-15 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
im guessing the latter?? idk where he live yet
if hell is home then its just normal isnt it???

I guess? hate to think about the rent to live there though...

???? why???
flametheif40: http://magiicons.tumblr.com/ (serious face)

[personal profile] flametheif40 2018-11-27 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Cause rent in some places is probably horrible so I can only imagine PAYING to be in litterally the wrost place ever...can't exactly be a good time.

[personal profile] yakan 2018-11-29 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
actually besides the whole it being literally hell and the almost getting eaten bit it seems like a place just like any other just with a lot of not humans and stuff
so i dont know if it would be the worst place ever


[ personally he would call his old man's place the worst place ever ]

[personal profile] flametheif40 2018-11-30 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
So aside from it being litterally hell, which by definition is where souls suffer for eternity...It's not that bad?

Not really going to rush to buy real estate there...


[Strangely enough, Al ALSO hates his dad, so that guy's house is not his favourite place in the world]

[personal profile] yakan 2018-11-30 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
from what i gathered
the dead that need to be punished probably suffer but like
its not so bad for the normal residents


[ anti-dads club unite (even if kiyoshi also happens to be a dad oops) ]
flametheif40: http://magiicons.tumblr.com/ (Default)

[personal profile] flametheif40 2018-12-01 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...okay then, maybe it might be better then some places I know.

[Well, kiyoshi is probably a better dad then the ones they hate? right?]

[personal profile] yakan 2018-12-01 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
you think so??
well tbh i think its not the worst place to be


[ he would hope so. he's the trice-divorced kind of dad but he's probably managing being a dad better than he's managed being a husband ]

Assuming I'm just a resident, yeah. I can think of some worse places, well, it probably more the people but you get the point.

[Al's birth dad was the abusive crime lord kind, don't trip on the low bar he's set.]

[personal profile] yakan 2018-12-01 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
unless you did something bad enough to mae you be punished by residents instead im sure you would be a resident if you wanted to
oh yeah i absolutely get the point


[ he can avoid that at least. and the neglectful-dumping-your-bastard-kid-on-another-mistress-after-the-mistress-birthing-the-kid-dumped-the-kid-on-you bar, too. ]

It's not exactly on a list of places I would WANT to live(come on, it IS hell after all...wifi probably wouldn't work.), it would be better then...LA

[Oh wow, IS it possible for the bar to be set any lower? It's probably burning in hell somewhere already...]
yakan: (gon_39)

[personal profile] yakan 2018-12-01 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
i have no idea about the wifi situation but it probably depends on if internet exists at all first of all
ive only been for like a few weeks is it really that bad in la?? or is that where youre from before here???


[ what section of hell would people with those crimes put a person in? does the punishments even include fires? there are too many subsections of hell ]

I was born there,then I tried finding better wifi. After some walking I found myself in recolle. Wifi has been bearable since.

[Good question, if we were going by Dante's inferno logic...lets go with where the souls are in a boiling river of blood and there are friendly centaurs in lush green meadows right next to it.]

the wifi is apparently important when choosing where to live
how amazing

[ that does sound like a lovely image ]

[personal profile] flametheif40 2018-12-01 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, "location,location,location", if I have to pick up yoga so I can bend over backwards for a decent wifi signal, then I'm moving.

[Yeah, just ignore the river and focus on the lush green meadows and super chill peace loving centaurs.]

[personal profile] yakan 2018-12-01 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
so do you do yoga then

[ that is easy as pie ]
