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.

[ We interrupt your talk about Retrospec for a quick question. ]

Big dick energy? Is that a good type of energy or a bad type?

[ Is this question sincere or not? Stay tuned! ]

[We'll be right back, ladies and gentlemen.]

No, no Big DECK energy. It's an important distinction. Not that it changes the answer either way cause it's still yes

[It wasn't a yes or no questi-]

Right. I misheard.

Your username is a joke on the expression I take it? I've overheard a number of people say it but I'm not familiar with the meaning or origin.

You got it! Can't tell you exactly where it's from. Like some kind of meme urban legend Whoever they were though: geniuses. The lot of em

Another meme? So what's the agreed upon meaning? Is it like it sounds or the opposite like an inside joke?

[ In his defense there's internet slang that isn't what it sounds like. Take "milkshake cat," that was the point. ]

It's a measurement beyond just the physical length of one's dick For example, I have a friend with the biggest dick energy, and she has no competition It's not about the energy down there, it's about the energy in here 💖👈

[ "Heart. Pointing hand." Ah. ]

So... confidence? Bold and brash perhaps?

[Congrats on learning emoji speak like the youngin's!]

That's a good way to put it You'll just look at someone and go 'yeah, they've got some big dick energy

Normally I think "big personality" but big dick energy is hard to forget once you've heard it.

Might has well ask, why "Big Deck" for your username?

See? You've got it now. It's all about being memorable As for mine Well, I like card games and the like, so I thought I'd make it a pun too~

Clever.

I don't spend much time on social media. I've never thought about funny usernames.

[ Screen readers help but the internet continues to lack descriptions for visuals and browsing ease. ]

That's fine, sometimes that's for the better Like I made this thinking I could change it later but...turns out they're locked in Guess my legacy's BIG DECK ENERGY forever~

[He does not sound sad about that in the slightest.]

Guess you're going to have to play a good card game at least as long as you're on this app. Unless you plan on mastering carpentry.

Or being a fisherman People sure thought I had a boat

Could have been getting their hopes up that you'd take them on a cruise after Retrospec is done. We could all use a vacation.

TELL ME ABOUT IT I just want to get the first massage therapist I can find and have them just step on my back and see how tense it is That's where I'm at right now, 22 going on 70

When this is over I'm filing a lawsuit on behalf of us all. That should help with the massage bill.

Imagine doing this with a nine-month-old.

Whoa, whoa You have a 9 month old kid AND you're dealing with this? Man...that's gotta be rough Work never ends when you're a parent

Retrospec’s issues are not very family friendly. Thankfully I have a number of nieces and a nephew who will babysit if something goes wrong. Still, I worry whenever we’re separated from the people not on the app.

Hah! Havin' family nearby is always a perk I've only got them up in Maine and then a cousin in Florida Even better, just be like my pal Elliot and have your fam all on the app Or at least...at some point they were

Elliot Craig? He's the nephew I was referring to.

[...

Small world.]

No way I swear his family just keeps growing the more people I meet. He's my friend and from the same past...soul life?

[ The same world as Elliot? Matt smiles when the message is read to him, humming in interest. ]

Yes, there are a number of us here in Recolle. His mother remarrying gave him two families in a way.

I've heard some details from Ell about his other life. Were you a fellow student?

Heh, I'm glad. The guy's crazy talented and having a supportive fam has a lot to do with it As a matter of fact, I was. Teecccchnnically I was an upperclassman, but I guess I had to join his class to make up for lost credits Crazy
