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.

Surprisingly I haven't had dreams since September. I wonder if that means anything. Though I welcome the reprieve.
thesettingsun: smile (while I've gone on my own way)

I don't think that's healthy? I'm pretty sure you need dreams, even if you don't remember them.
blondferret: (i got you)

[personal profile] blondferret 2019-01-02 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Then I at least don't remember my dreams for the past 3 1/2 months. Which is fine. I wasn't having any pleasant dreams before or during Retrospec coming into my life.
thesettingsun: neutral (every inch of me is charred)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2019-01-02 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
You at least had a few neutral ones, I hope. Like when you spend the whole dream just going through a normal day except that everyone is made of cheese.
blondferret: (you can't be serious)

[personal profile] blondferret 2019-01-02 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Neutral ones? What are those? Usually they were nightmares.
thesettingsun: neutral (you're sitting on your brains)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2019-01-02 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm really sorry to hear that. Even I don't have it that bad.
blondferret: (amused)

[personal profile] blondferret 2019-01-03 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
I hope you haven't. If you did that would mean you suffer from some childhood trauma, amnesia, and guilt for not being able to remember said trauma or anything before the trauma.
thesettingsun: neutral (rest in peace)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2019-01-03 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you maybe want to talk to a therapist?
blondferret: (amused)

[personal profile] blondferret 2019-01-04 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
[If only this guy could hear Derek's maniacal laughter on the other end.]

Therapists can't help me now. Not with Retrospec involved in this whole crazy thing called "my life."
thesettingsun: smile (to your deathbed you're on view so)

They're better than nothing. Probably better than strangers on the internet.

[personal profile] blondferret 2019-01-05 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
I highly doubt that. Besides I'm actually fairly well adjusted. I was adopted a few years after the accident and I have a successful career that can pay for the rent on my apartment.
thesettingsun: neutral (a~h it's fine already)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2019-01-06 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Great, so this conversation can end before it gets weirder? Cool.
blondferret: (Default)

[personal profile] blondferret 2019-01-06 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
If you think this is weird... just wait.

thesettingsun: mad (manipulating away)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2019-01-07 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
'Weird' seemed more polite than 'uncomfortable', if less accurate.
blondferret: (amused)

[personal profile] blondferret 2019-01-07 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Have you ended up in someone else's dream yet? That happens a decent amount around here. I figure, why hide it if someone could easily just pop in without my permission?
thesettingsun: smile (man)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2019-01-07 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, and had the same done to me.

But I knew those people.

[personal profile] blondferret 2019-01-08 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
Lucky you. I've been in the dreams of complete strangers.
thesettingsun: smile (I'm a good guy)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2019-01-08 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't make oversharing by choice any more comfortable.
blondferret: (i got you)

[personal profile] blondferret 2019-01-09 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Derek almost types back, "Then don't talk to my brother." Almost. Why deprive this guy of having such a conversation with Al talking... A LOT about personal stuff. Instead he just types a simple response.]

Welcome to Retrospec. You're gonna be put in uncomfortable situations often.
thesettingsun: smile (man)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2019-01-09 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Al has the stupid teenager excuse. Derek doesn't.]

Year and a half now.

I don't have a block button for creepy fog or curses. I do have a block button for you.
