(no subject)

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.

Yeah, I can't say I'm that encouraged by the whole thing, honestly.

Not surprised either, though. Clarence has always been good about covering his tracks, or maybe just leaving his tracks wide fucking open for all of us to see but not follow. Or whatever. I just don't know what Zee thinks we can do to help Retrospec themselves out. Seems like all most of us are good for is the field work.

Glad you're still kicking, Jamie.

Well some of us aren't particularly good for THAT either
Except when it's a bunch of ghosts
lol

I still can't get over the fact that the whole of our current reality, which might possibly be the only current reality, was all engineered by a bunch of people with WASPy ass names like "Clarence Vanderweele"

and I'm glad you are, too.
Kicking, I mean. Not engineering realities and being WASPy

Just looked up what that name even means: A bright puddle of water that leaked from a dike. Probably poetic that he's gonna be ended by a dyke, too.

That one works better spoken.

Anyway. If we're here now, it's because we can handle it. I still don't like that we're apparently strong enough to be of interest to Muddy Waters up there, but whatever we actually need to do, we've got it. I definitely can't go diving anymore, but that just means I'll find other things to do. Same with ghost-related things.

Don't sell yourself short, it wasn't bad at all.

Yeah, it's lucky for me (?) a lot of this stuff has to do with souls or whatever. Otherwise I'd just be like, idk. Sitting at home making sandwiches for people or something? I mean, except I don't have money for sandwiches, so
I guess just sending encouraging emoji

Honestly, dude? Don't discount stuff like that either. Moral support is as important as anything else.

Not to be too real, but back before I got the app? If I didn't have people rooting for me and checking in on me and making sure I was doing okay, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.

That's
true.
You're right.

I mean, that kind of
goes for me too. Sort of. A little. I mean, it's different. But if Ahmi hadn't offered me a job back in February, I honestly don't know what I would've done. Or
where, if anywhere, I'd be.
Though I guess that's a little more than moral support...

A little more. But I'm glad you've got that help. It's stuff like that that reminds me of who and what I'm fighting for, you know? If I end up losing more body parts or becoming more of a robot, or if someone else falls off the app and they look at me like I grew a second head when I tell them about something Zee said.

Gonna do my best to keep you around here, Jamie. I know I can't do anything to actually influence it, but... yeah.

[personal profile] floret 2019-04-26 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
You too. I'm really, really glad that you're here for us to be having this conversation.

And
I don't think I've said this before, but... thank you. For giving a damn about me. It means a lot.

Of course, dude.

We make it through all this, I'll get you backstage for GIANT⚡ROBOT's first big, for real show down at the Atrium. So stick around. Gotta have some more stuff to look forward to.
