Well, this is pretty nerve-wracking, but I finally uploaded some music I composed. It's just four songs, between college and everything happening in Retrospec, I've been, well, pretty busy this year. But I hope to compose more soon!

Anyway... you can listen to them here. Please enjoy them.

And in less good news ... I had a rather troubling conversation with a ghost...

According to him, our Earth isn't what it seems. Apparently, while Recolle's real and stable, the rest of the world is actually a recreation of other Earths. It was made to be a centralized hub for planets across the galaxy that were destroyed, and Recolle's essentially the capital. It was all formed and balanced from the soul energy being generated by this city and the people here, and it's not exactly stable.

Good news, all the people outside of Recolle in this world are real, so it's not like our lives were fake. But bad news, if anything should happen to Recolle, the rest of the world would disintegrate. So...no pressure?

Oh, and has anyone heard anything about a river of souls beneath Recolle? A friend heard about it from another ghost, but we don't know much.

Sorry for all the troubling news. This isn't how I expected this post to go.

[ Immediately focusing on the important things: ]

You did it!

It feels like it has been a long time coming, but I'm glad you have finally released your music to the world.

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, I did it!

Thanks Yusuke. It's really nerve-wracking, but also exciting? People seem to like it too!

[fabrefactions]

Of course they do! Your music is wonderful and you have been working hard on it for such a long time -- what you create is very pleasing to the ear and a joy to listen to.

[fiddlestick]

Aw, thanks Yusuke. But really it's thanks to you and everyone else who supported me, I wouldn't have gotten this far without you.

Next up is showing the world your art!

[fabrefactions]

I feel you may have done... but it might have taken a little longer to get there. [ LOOK AT THAT FAITH HE HAS. ] I am glad I was able to assist though.

Ah, yes. I have so many pieces to narrow down and finish... but I will get them out there into the world on a larger scale. It would be rude not to, after you have worked so hard on your own creative outlet.

[fiddlestick]

Haha sure, like a million years. Or another lifetime. [BUT THE FAITH IS APPRECIATED]

Yeah! I worked hard because you inspired me so much, so you gotta live up to that! [Yeah!!] That's so great! If you need any help with narrowing things down or anything else, I'd be happy to help.

[fabrefactions]

A million years is stretching it. You would have made it there one way or another, I'm fairly sure Eren would have taken offence to you not indulging in things you are good at.

I might just paint all the pictures I like the most and then ask you and the others which you think are the best...

[fiddlestick]

Oh, I know he would've. I owe him a lot too, he was the one to get me to upload things today even.

[Since he sure tried to back out several times!!]

Hehe, okay! I'll do my best not to answer "all of them".

[fabrefactions]

Eren is doing a very good job.

[ THANK U EREN. ]

That would be appreciated, yes. I have to be a little selective in my choices!

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, he is. That's why he's got a lifetime position lined up.

[EREN IS A GOOD]

Right, of course! Super critical it is!

[fabrefactions]

I don't think you needed much persuasion to offer it.

Otherwise I will submit all of them and some of you will probably shout at me.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, got it.

Don't worry. We won't let you down.
Actually, would it be okay to invite a friend of mine that's good at critiques?

[...]

It's not Dave, promise.

[Him and his odd comics are probably not what Yusuke needs for his art....]

[fabrefactions]

I have no problem with you bringing along a friend. Even if it were Dave.

[ RIP Dave. They love you. ]

Do you mind if I ask who is it?

[fiddlestick]

Haha, well it would be entertaining to bring Dave, but it's probably not what you need.

Crow! He helps me with my music sometimes.

[fabrefactions]

Oh! I believe I have met him in the maze last month... quite tall, enjoys gambling? Or rather goes by the name "big deck energy" on the network, which relates to cards.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, yep that's him!

He's good at giving critiques and has a perfectionist streak when he commits himself.

[fabrefactions]

I welcome all opinions - they help a person to grow, after all.

Besides, he is a friend of yours. I would like to speak to him more.

[fiddlestick]

I'd like you two to get to know each other more too!

Okay, I'll ask him then.

[fabrefactions]

Please do let him know he is more than welcome, from me as well.

In somewhat separate news to your achievements, and congratulatory speeches on your first steps into music publishing... a river of souls under the city? It's not connected to the subway system in some way is it?

[fiddlestick]

I will!

Oh yeah....um, I know they're both underground? But I don't know if they're connected.

[fabrefactions]

It would make sense if they were though, don't you think? If it's underground there must be some way to reach one from the other.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, that's a good point. I know someone said they found it through a boat, but there might be a way through the subway...

Oh! I wonder if it'd show up in the Metaverse.

[fabrefactions]

... It does sound like the sort of place that would. If only Morgana were here, we could head across the river of souls via his van form.

Probably? Maybe. I'm not sure, but he certainly got us around well enough.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, that sounds like it would make things a lot more convenient. Walking's gonna be a pain.

[that he plans to do anyway]

[fabrefactions]

It allows you to cover more ground in a shorter space of time as well, which is more than helpful.

... But walking is good for you.
