retrospec | (no subject)

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.

I received physical changes that I wasn't expecting or prepared for in any way. After that, everything else became a matter of "Well, I suppose this might as well happen."

Damn, that sounds awful. At least when I got shot I already had the corresponding memories.

I think it was this summer for me. Having my actual memories fucked with was something I'd dread from the start, and now that it's actually happened and I've come out the other side...

[nothing like having your worst fears realized and not knowing until after it's over]

Well, you've already survived the worst-case scenario, so it isn't as though much else can be done to touch you beyond that. Something along those lines?

Pretty much that, yes. Granted, there's usually something even worse past what one considers 'worst-case' if you think hard enough, but that's a dark way to live.

Thankfully I've managed to stop doing that to myself fairly recently; it's been better for me now that I'm trying to keep it that way.

Same. The whole Retrospec thing had me feeling pretty negatively about things for a while.

Things are improving themselves now, I assume?

Yeah, they are. I think I just got tired of getting mad about everything.
