Welcome back, users. Looks like we were able to bring you back online and tracked again...here's hoping the layers are settled now, but the readings are off the chart. We're doing our best to stabilize the city for December while we track some of the magical sources we're picking up. It may take us some time though, so please bear with us! We may be working through the holidays, too, if this keeps up. But it's okay. You opened the doors and new routes for us to check. Stay positive, users. December is a special time of the year. What's your favorite holiday tradition? You'd be surprised how thoughts shape things here. Please take care.

Please, not Jim. Anyone but Jim.

There's also Ronnie and Danny. We know pretty much nothing about them.

[fiddlestick]

Sounds like a lot of work.

If anyone asks for a shoveler, I'll point them your way!

[fiddlestick]

Oh wow...that's a really handy sounding ability. The immunity bit.

Ehe, okay pepsi blue it is. And it will! About a glass usually refreshes me.

[thisloveisjustice]

It's pretty frustrating, that's for sure. But I'm going to keep looking for answers.

First generation immigrant. My parents live in town, I'm sure I'll end up visiting.

[flametheif40]

(sigh) Yeah, helps when you have fire magic. Although I miss really hot showers though :(

Great! So...ummm...I guess I can show up, use a crap ton of magic then try a swing of pepsi blue?

Pretty sure that it will clear w/e snow is near by, or maybe I can try to be a furnace for you to cook your stuff?

Hello! You must be new!

Few things

1)Yes that was English, it's magic and science stuff that no one really understands but them(Retrospec)...maybe.

2)Joanne is basically one of the people that supposedly understands said magic and science stuff

3)Welcome! We are basically unwillingly experiments!

Ummm, anything else I can help with?

[flametheif40]

The thing that seriously pisses me off...was that my, Mentor? ASKED HER for her to use her extreme magic and even AFTER she tried to tell him not to do it, he tells her to do it anyway!

That...moron...

Many people, though really it's only those on the app itself...
Really, as a social network it's quite useless; if you'd like to interact with hundreds of people, you should stick to the usual breed, but Retrospec is something like a club.
That none of us signed up for.
Whose activities are rarely known before hand.
We have gotten to go on "field trips" before though, that was quite fun.

curry.

though that's something from my memories, really. my own family here weren't that festive or tradition-keeping.

un: THE DARK LORD MEOW

[maskreant]

we meet again.

[maskreant]

skyping is what i usually do with my dad. reasonable connection when Retrospec isn't being weird.

are you going to carry a mistletoe with you, too?

un: THE DARK LORD MEOW

[maskreant]

i like that part, too. it's really nice to see their smiles or shocked reactions.

it sounds like you just have to make new traditions.

un: THE DARK LORD MEOW

[maskreant]

buy his pancakes. they have Goro Akechi's seal of approval (pancake prince, by the way).

i think they might have a Christmas lights show again this year if you want to go?

un: THE DARK LORD MEOW

[maskreant]

wow, that's a lot to look forward to. i'm sure it'll go well since you and your toddlers have been working hard.

what kind of dance?

best un

[fiddlestick]

Oh! I didn't know we had royalty in our home! I'm feel honored he approves!

Haha, that'd be fun. I think I missed last year's show because I was so busy helping with the winter festival.

un: THE DARK LORD MEOW

[maskreant]

no, we are all actually viruses coming to infect your phone.

you've made a mistake.

Okay, hang on, where's...Elda's...guide... aha.

Jim Halloway (Research & Development): Asshole
Janet Halloway née Wiseman (Human Resources): Related to Mahoney Family, makes her a resident of Recolle, not an Alpha.
Joanne Wiseman (Technician 2nd class): Ditto. Claimed to have grown up with the company.
Wendy Gou (Security/Archivist (formerly Security alone)): Made mention that she is from another world, bets are good.
Maurice Fitzwilliam (Mail Department (formerly Intern)): Same as Joanne, grew up with the company, has known Joanne for years. Too much on the inside.
Marguerite Mahoney (Admin?): Founding Families member.
Mr. Baroque (Chief of Security?): Cyborg, but I forgot this note of Elda's: "He has been with the company for a long time apparently, or at least enough to see more than one director." So not him.
Nigel Cavendish (Research & Development): Founding Family
Danny (presumed tech): Mentioned in The Engagement Video.
Ronnie (Train lines):
...

['One sec' turns out to be an hour, as Togusa had to go dive his own cyberbrain. It was so obscure even he had forgotten to write it down in his own notes.]

Found it. Dr. Izunia mentioned Ronnie, but he has apparently been a part of the company since near their founding.

He'd have to be a family member, they were so big on keeping the company in the families at first, apparently.

Which leaves Zee, who was a delta, and was not finished with remembering his other life.

But, looking back, we can even cross out Wendy, because she mentioned that she's been here through multiple attempts at integration....I think. That's how I took her message.

[fiddlestick]

Oh...so you can't feel warmth at all? That's bad?

And um...maybe using a bunch of fire magic near the farmer's market isn't a good idea?

I'll sell you a bottle and you can test in a safe location, okay?

[frostythehitman]

you already got a dinosaur
or did you already forget about me

[strawberrypunch]

What are linzer cookies like?

Yeah my favorite food was strawberry so she came up with all kinds of recipes for strawberry things

Still have them somewhere

[strawberrypunch]

If I knew how to bake I'd show you

Her recipe's really good

Pudding sounds good. What kind of fruit for the fruit cake?

[strawberrypunch]

Do you ever make houses from them?

[He did that one last year!]

[strawberrypunch]

Strawberry's my favorite food so she came up with lots of recipes that use it

Not entirely oozing.... that's good?

[Just how Dire are their baking skills...]
