[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.

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!

[godcards]

Only tuition? That's not very imaginative.

[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.

[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!

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

[sleepingknight]

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

[invocate]

Yeah! I have school and two jobs! I would still like to actually sleep now and then.

[sleepingknight]

Right?!

It's been hell trying to cram everything in

[invocate]

Even when Retrospec covered for us in the past, it wasn't always perfect. So while I'd rather manage this myself, some compensation would be welcome.

[like, once she knew where Pesgare was, she could absolutely get back and forth from it and Recolle a lot faster w/ her boots than using the boats, but not everyone has that luxury]

[sleepingknight]

They used to cover for you?!

[fiddlestick]

Oh, that's GREAT idea. I would love not to have student loans on my mind on top of everything else.

If Retrospec did that, it'd be better than any paycheck.

[sleepingknight]

I'm already missing out on stuff because of all of this!

The least they could do is pay for it so I don't have to

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, no kidding!

I know it'd really help things with my family. They're helping pay, and they have not been happy with my roller coaster of grades. And it's not like I can tell them "sorry I missed a week of classes, I had to help evacuate Magatus".

[sleepingknight]

Right?

I'm managing to keep up, but it's been rough... people have been wondering about me not being around as much online, either.

[She still makes it to streams, but her online presence has definitely gotten choppy, and people notice when you're not as lightning-fast to respond anymore.]

[fiddlestick]

Oh really? Do you have a big online following or just friends?

[sleepingknight]

I just have a lot of friends.

I play MMOs a lot, so they notice when I can't make raids all of a sudden.

That's me!

[babysplice]

good job

[sleepingknight]

Thanks! I think?

What did I do?

[sleepingknight]

Ohhhhhh right

I saw the messages they left behind

It looks like they did some kind of elaborate prank?
