[recollecters]

It's been brought to my attention (again) that some of you are looking for compensation for the work you're doing. I'm open to that. So tell me, Retrospecters, what is it that you're looking for? Money? Answers? None of the above? I'm all ears. The scouting project seems to be working out okay. I don't know if any of you have found a place that's really good to relocate or recover but maybe we should talk about that, too. …finally, bit of a morality question for you. What's the priority here, you think? Working on chasing Vanderweele down this rabbit hole of a wild goose chase (wow that is too many animal analogies), or memory recovery of the company itself? Both of them are about as convoluted as you think, but not impossible. Wait, not finally. One more thing since someone brought it up: in case you haven't noticed yet, you might want to pay attention to the things you've managed to bring back because, and I hate to make it sounds real drastic, but the fate of the world kinda depends on it? Just a little. Welcome to your destiny, everybody. Anyway discuss. I'm back in the office, so drop by if you need something.

Too late, we're already clearing off your juvie record, you would have to work really hard to get to jail now.

[NONE of your shit on that one, Malik.]

Working isn't living. It's a part of living, but it's not all there is. But we're back to 'I thought what you wanted out of life was to be left alone.' Is that still true?

[godcards]

[ damn it togusa!!! ]

More or less.

[hauntedsavior]

He's committed war crimes. I don't think anyone's going to be kind to him.

[hauntedsavior]

He'd find a way out of it. They wouldn't suck his entire soul, or something. Besides, then we'd have a soul-sucker to deal with.

Just kill him. It's easier.

[fiddlestick]

I'm honestly not sure what that second option really means. I just want the option that won't make me miss my finals at this point.

THIS

I have worked too hard these last two semesters to mess up my finals.

It's all well and good if the world doesn't end.

But if my GPA gets messed up...

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, no kidding. It's hard enough keeping on top of my classes with everything going on with Retrospec.

I know all this world stuff is important, but I really need not to flunk anything.

[manufactured]

Vanderweele is going to die.

I don't care what everyone else's priorities are and what the rest of you plan on doing. It doesn't take all of us to kill him. If I have to do it alone - without help from you, Mr. Carlisle, as I've never required that - then so be it. If others choose to come with me, then so be it.

I mean, I'd just like it if the world didn't end

For compensation, can you just pay for the rest of my tuition? That'd be great!

[invocate]

It's hard enough even without the Retrospec stuff really.

I refuse to fail my history class. I don't care how much coffee I need to drink to study all these stupid dates.

[godcards]

Only tuition? That's not very imaginative.

Re: un: Lily

[invocate]

Srsly, college is expensive. The least Retrospec could do is cover your tuition.

[sleepingknight]

I'm pretty happy with everything else I have!

Right now, the thing I want most is to learn. Kind of hard with all the world ending business, though.

[sleepingknight]

Right?! Plus, it's so time-consuming to keep up with studies and saving the world and having time to do other stuff!

[godcards]

Not even a diamond studded pen? Come on, there has to be something worth asking for besides tuition. You're already in school anyway... It doesn't have to be school-related.

[sleepingknight]

Unless he can just zap knowledge into my brain, school's the only way to do it!

...

Wait, do you think that's actually possible?

[godcards]

Well, you can get memories zapped into your brain, right? I don't see why not.

[sleepingknight]

Alright! Please teach me everything there is to know about robotics!

[godcards]

Ask more forcefully! He won't listen to you if he doesn't think you're serious.

[sleepingknight]

He already made the offer!

I don't think being rude's going to help.

[godcards]

I've had to ask him a couple of times to get him to listen.

[sleepingknight]

Really?

Did he already make offers then, too?

[godcards]

Yes. But as usual he was vague and noncommittal.

[sleepingknight]

Goooootcha!

Maybe I'll ask him at the office, then! I've never actually been before

[godcards]

Texting is pretty easy, and he can't make some excuse like he had to change offices. But I suppose anything works...

Just ask a lot of times and maybe you'll get somewhere. Don't take no for an answer!
