Happy New Years, users.

I'll cut to the chase; the barrier we instilled a few months ago is decaying quickly and we're sorting through the new data as fast as we can. This barrier was originally designed to contain a rogue error. There are several of you who have taken care of this issue and from here we will handle the rest...thank you. The influx of data will help us decode our next steps.

As mentioned, we've spent December tracing several magical sources that are coming up in our readings. We're doing the best we can to trace Clarence--Mr. Vanderweele, and corral the effects he's altering in the city. I believe we're ready to tear down the firewall and begin exploring further. If our information is correct, we're really breaking the boundaries of the layers we've discovered lately! It's exciting, don't you think?

The only information I can offer is that we will need you to be strong no matter what happens. We believe things have changed outside of security measures we've set in place, though we will need more data to understand the best way to stabilize the city from his control. We understand if you cannot and do not wish to help, but please know we're doing everything we can.

Please take care.

He was supposed to be dead. It's hard to imagine they did anything to try to keep him after that. Their lack of foresight is detrimental to us but not wholly unreasonable.

A photograph truly would be useful, though. Of him and anyone who's working or has worked with him.

not really
the founders kept him alive
we're the only ones who didn't know about it

but it sounds like he might be able to change his appearance however he wants so
a photo wouldn't do a damn thing to help us anyway

Wait. What? That's new information to me. Do you mean they kept him alive and also prolonged it past a normal human's lifespan?

Someone has to have the ability to see past illusions at this point.

no
i meant they kept him alive instead of just killing him after what he did to the spinnatos

well if they do they need to speak the hell up
because i don't know about it
and most other people on the app probably don't either

I take it you think they should've killed him instead of keeping him captive or whatever they did. If I remember correctly, however, they did kill his wife, didn't they?

You're right. I don't know about it either, but there isn't, there has to be some way to identify him. Otherwise, the other founders wouldn't have been able to capture him.

look i don't know if they should've killed him or not
but i know THEY were considering it and then backed off of it and kept him around
and then yeah killed his wife instead i guess
unless they just let the courts handle that one

yeah but the other founders knew him before he had a reason to hide
he's been in hiding and messing with us since before we even knew he existed
he's had a leg up on us from the beginning
