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.

Yeah. I can never begrudge people any coping mechanism in the short term. What Retrospec is showing us, it's things no one should have to endure.

And then you find out what the person you're remembering did to cope and I swear it's always something destructive. My guy seems to be limited to the shooting range.

Was yours particularly horrible as well, or just someone you'd understandably prefer to not have in your head constantly?

I think he was a good man. Or at least trying his best to be. It all makes better sense now that I know he was a father.

But, even he wasn't keeping things healthy all the time. And my point is, that seems to be a running theme among the people we're all seeing.

Given the lives they all seemed to be leading, I can't precisely say they should be faulted.

Back on the question of what kinds of worlds were they in where powers and weapons like we've been getting are even needed?

Yeah.
