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.

Honestly at this point that could be part of their slogan:
"Retrospec, because you don't make enough errors by accident"

"Retrospec: only some of this is our fault."

"Retrospec: our fault, your problem"

"Retrospec: traumatic memories build character"

"Retrospec: scambled brains are the best brains"

"Retrospec: telling you as little as possible to get you as worried as possible."

"Retrospec: If your not dead, we will make you wish you were

"Retrospec: if you are technically dead, we will still find ways to make you miserable."

"Retrospec: Your NOT miserable? We need to fix that."

"Retrospec: happiness is for the blind."

Retrospec: Misery is reality.

Retrospec: if you're happy, you're seeing things wrong.

Retrospec:Your misery, our truth

That sounds like an anime tagline.

I was thinking like nightmare computer that feeds off human misery.

Wasn't that a video game?

No idea. The thing that came to mind was the matrix computer thing.

I think you came up with the best slogan though.

Which one?

Tramatic memories build character.

Really to the point about what they do.

There might be a few people who don't have traumatic memories, but they're the exception rather than the rule.

Seriously?

Gosh...I have no idea where mine fall in, other than freaking nightmare fuel and some generic scraps, I don't really know much about other me.

So far it's "Born in the slums, became a prince, left, monster fighting, came back, got pissed, lead a revolt using theives"

See, some of those sound like they could be kind of cool. Past me was just a terrible person who gave me way, way too near-death memories.

Oh gosh that must be horrible nightmare fuel...

I'm not sure which one of the monsters I would hate to see pop up the most, there was a beautiful flying mermaid and I thought "she's hot, this shouldn't be too bad...
HOLY SHIT IS THAT A TSUNAMI!?"

Or "Awwww, those are pink bunnies wearing wizard hats...
OOoohh fuck me, of course, they would turn into the Demogorgon from Stranger Things if you shoved an eyeball in the middle of it's open "face" with a shit ton of teeth"

Weirdly, the monsters are probably the least bad part of my memories. Some of them are even cute. They'll still try to kill you, but they're cute. I have a stuffed animal version of one.

Seriously? Cute monsters that DONT end up being nightmare fuel?

Granted, the only sort of cute one is the bunnies, others were like, giant elephants, army of monkies with 6 fucking red eyes splattered along it's face with some bodies being cut halfway through and never bothered to have skin...
