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 think there is an important question here: If I decide to grace Zee with my help, will my job give me paid time off? Cause I still need to pay my bills.

Is this heartless? Maybe? But I have a cat and owl to take care of.

You'll probably lose your vacation time.

[blondferret]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[thisloveisjustice]

KISS IT GOOD-BYE

[blondferret]

GAH!!! IT IS NOW ANNOYING THAT I HAVE TO USE VACATION TIME SO EARLY IN THE YEAR!

[thisloveisjustice]

now you know how i've felt. twice.

[blondferret]

THIS IS SUCH A SHITTY WAY TO HAVE A VACATION!

[thisloveisjustice]

you don't have to tell me that

[blondferret]

I know we don't have many places to go for vacation, but sometimes the best vacation is staying at home with some DVD's and books. Never leaving....

They ruined my plans mate!

[thisloveisjustice]

yes, and i truly feel for you

[blondferret]

If you truly feel for me, bring your dog over more. My cat keeps sitting in front of the door waiting for your dog to show up.

Do you know what it's like to have a cat who mopes around?

[thisloveisjustice]

no, i do not. since i don't have a cat.

but fine, i'll bring yujirou over.

I don't know if I'd call it heartless. I'd think we should at least be given compensation of some sort to make up for what we're going to be missing.

[blondferret]

Sometimes I think the compensation is "not dying." I can't believe I'm probably going to be using a bunch of my paid vacation time...

[armati]

You could always simply say "no."

[blondferret]

And miss out on potentially important information about Retrospec and finally end this nightmare? As if.

[armati]

Then you're effectively doing it to yourself.

[blondferret]

You'd do the same thing if you have been on the app as long as me.

[armati]

I'm doing the same thing because I believe in alleviating the suffering of others, and if assisting Retrospec is a way to do that for the time being, then I'm obligated to do so.

I'm just not complaining loudly about it, like the rest of you here.

[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.

[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.

[blondferret]

You know, sometimes complaining and getting out emotions can be healthy. Prevent emotional builds ups that can result in... oh i don't know... VIOLENCE.

It's cathartic.

Rather be crazy out my pets than be a stupid old hag!

[decipere]
