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.

Are you wearing appropriate shoes when walking?

[ yusuke pls ]

[fiddlestick]

[oh my god]

Yes, Yusuke.

I just hate walking.

[fabrefactions]

But it's very good for you...

[fiddlestick]

So?

[fabrefactions]

[ this is why you are a soft macaroni boy, elliot ]

So if it is good for you, it should be indulged...

[fiddlestick]

I walk!
But it doesn't mean I have to like it!

[fabrefactions]

What exercise do you enjoy then?

[fiddlestick]

[.........]

Yusuke.
In the year and 3 months we've lived together have you ever seen me willingly do exercise?
Ever?

[I THOUGHT YOU KNEW ME.]

...

I suppose the word for lifting a violin wouldn't be "bench pressing"...

[fiddlestick]

Considering violins weigh about a pound, not really....

Maybe tubas would? They get heavy.

[fabrefactions]

Do you bench press your a tuba regularly?

[fiddlestick]

...No. I don't have one.

But if I ever got one, I could.

[fabrefactions]

Elliot.

I would pay you to bench press a tuba. If you let me paint it.

[fiddlestick]

[...]

How much?

[fabrefactions]

...

...

What is a reasonable price to ask to someone to bench press a tuba for?

[fiddlestick]

...I don't know?

How long do you need me to bench press?

[fabrefactions]

I'm not cruel enough to ask you to hold a tuba for hours as I paint, so... long enough to take a decent photograph?

[fiddlestick]

Okay so like two minutes then?

So...maybe about $5? Assuming I can find a tuba.

[fabrefactions]

That still feels cheap for your efforts somehow...
I could buy you lunch somewhere?

[ fwend deitos ]

[fiddlestick]

Oh, lunch would be nice!

We haven't gone out in awhile!

[fabrefactions]

Lunch it is. Where would you like to go?

[fiddlestick]

Um...

Maybe a good ramen place? That'd be so nice and warming!

[fabrefactions]

Ramen is always a good idea. Do you have one that you would prefer...?

[fiddlestick]

Nope! I'll let you pick that!

[fabrefactions]

[ Oh. The pressure. ]

I will have to research the best one. I'll try hard.
