[ 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!

In some ways I hope they don't. I could never forgive them for some of the things they've given us.

But in other ways that makes it worse. If they don't have any control over who gets what, then why are they letting all this happen in the first place? Surely they've realized that some people are going to be regaining terrible things, and they're just fine with that possibility? It's cruel to mess with our lives like that. Especially because we don't get a say in it at all!

I don't know. I can believe they have good intentions, or at least that they believe their intentions are good.

I told you before that I'm too tired to be angry at them, and that's still true.

No, of course, I'm not trying to rile you up. I usually get all of my anger out early in the month so I can just try to survive through whatever happens. I really dislike being angry, honestly!
thesettingsun: smile (I'm just as good as you)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-16 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Same. Who actually likes being angry? Even when it's deserved I don't enjoy it.

It's awful, isn't it? Being angry is just so tiring!
thesettingsun: mad (I'm not a toy)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-16 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
And when someone/something makes me angry I get more upset over it making me feel horrible by making me angry and it's just a compounding pile of awful.

Oh, absolutely! It's dreadful! That's why I like to get it all out of my system at once so I don't have to deal with it for the rest of the month.

[that's probably healthy and not at all weird!!]
thesettingsun: smile (I'm a good guy)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-16 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's just me, but that seems like it might be unhealthy somehow...?

Do you think so? I can't imagine being mad very often would be better.
thesettingsun: smile (to your deathbed you're on view so)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-19 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Being mad appropriate amounts at appropriate things is the ideal, I think. What if something unexpected comes up that really deserves anger?
scythegun: (OKAY ⇝ "regaey" is yeager backwards)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-11-24 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I can still get angry if I need to! It's not like I've shut it off entirely or anything!

[HE PROMISES HE'S NOT THAT BAD...]

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-24 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh good, you're not quite as bad as I thought.

You really thought I'd be that bad?

[shuji please..........]

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-24 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Please rememer that I adore you and you're one of my dearest friends, but it was a possibility.

I promise I will never be as bad as my past life was.
thesettingsun: smile (for your love)

rememer......

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-24 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
I know. That was never in question.

Good! I wouldn't want you to think I was starting to pick up all my old habits!
thesettingsun: smile (oh forgive me oh gods)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-24 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
I promise you if I see that I will call you out on it immediately. Yell at me if I start turning into Dazai.

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-11-24 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think either of us will ever have to worry about that, but it's appreciated!
thesettingsun: smile (so I can propose you for one more dance)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-25 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
It's just what friends should do.
