So here's the thing… We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too. How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here. So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready. Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

I'm... kind of noticeable. At least, I haven't got an invisibility power or something.

[brushy]

Oh, dear ◖⚆ᴥ⚆◗ I don’t know what most of that is, but the story seems so enchanting! What are these gachapon mechanics? I’m so old, I’m sorry.

[belligerentwarrior]

of what, survivor or death wish?

private

[hauntedsavior]

I mean, both. But you can't tell me that sitting around wondering why you're still allowed to be on the app when everyone you care about has to lose sight of what the world around them really is isn't some kind of survivor's guilt.

Not that it's hitting me like that yet, but, like.

or i could be glad they aren't being tortured by memories of dying young while the rest of us take care of the heavy lifting. when this is all over with we can focus on bringing them round again

not like that stuff hasn't occurred to me before, but letting it run through my head all the time isn't going to get me anywhere. hell it probably will make focusing on what we have to do harder

[belligerentwarrior]

not like any of us can just lie down and stick our heads under the sand. we're way too deep in whatever the hell's going on by this point.

[belligerentwarrior]

you'll probably have a blast. at least one of us will

snowboarding's great and all but but magatus is a bunch of trouble, every time i've been that way

[belligerentwarrior]

yeah, it's something. last feb when zee sent us out to the other regions, they all seemed to be fighting back in their little ways from what i've heard. us lucky little app runners still do all the heavy lifting, of course

[maidofmistakes]

Yeah, and we're the only ones with the power to do it.

[brushy]

Well! Let us see.

There is prayer, that’s an obvious one. And then there is you.

[brushy]

You grinned during your shots? Goodness, I alway hiss! And those needles are insufferable, yes. Mine, you hardly feel.

But we can always stick to no-needle session. Hot rocks! And do not forget the adjectives, please. I want your essence to be done before you come.

[belligerentwarrior]

yeah. you watch yourself out there. just cause we're special doesn't mean we get a free pass to come out unscathed

[brushy]

I’m doing wonderfully. A visit, maybe, is something I wouldn’t mind during the coming days. What do you think?

[sleepingknight]

Never really did pray much... But how would I do it?

[sleepingknight]

Of course we do. Still, I think I'm a little better prepared to help this time, at least.

Are you thinking of going?

[jurai]

[Let's be real, it's the only way Crow's getting away with it right now. Eren can't see his face.]

Don't make coughing up phlegm sound like something you save for the pretty girls

And there was like an 8 foot radius around me you could've spit on instead

[belligerentwarrior]

how could i not? this retrospec business has been screwing with my life for two whole years now, and magatus and i have this lovely little hate-hate relationship going on. i see my fights through.

[blondferret]

Of course he wouldn't be calm of have self-control. I think you misunderstood. I think...

Occulmency is what my other self could do. Legilimency is what Occulmency fights against. Legilimency is the magical probing of someone's mind (thoughts and memories). Vanderweele, from what you describe, does something similar to Legilimency.

[blondferret]

Do it at night. Do you not have a car? Need a lift?

[blondferret]

I think it comes with having the whole Retrospec experience. After being on the app so long, some of us have just had it. We complain.

[brushy]

Splendid. I’ll try and make it warmer for the bare.
What has happened there, for example?

[armati]

And what has it solved for you? Because all of you admit that it hasn't accomplished anything.

You're all incredibly tiring. Just help them, or don't. There's no sense in whining about it either way.

[morgrim]

who knows maybe it'll happen to me later on
i could be doing things out of order!
here's hoping i'm not though and i really did skip it

[invocate]

I can't even begin to imagine how busy he must be right now. It's no wonder he needs help with things.

private

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, I've got both of those running through my head at once. Real damn party up here.

Sorry, I'm getting in my own head way more than usual lately. I'm not about to go get myself killed trying to keep everyone else safe. Much as I fucking hate agreeing with the genocidal asshole we're all trying to kill before he gets us first, the people who still have the app are strong. We don't all need to be protected.
