retrospec | (no subject)

Time. A weird kind of concept, isn't it? I've been thinking about it a lot lately…this whole "time" thing, the way the map's been laid out, and how this project came into fruition.

I've been able to get a read on some stuff, and I've been transcribing notes from the company. Your app should have some new upgrades now thanks to a handful of factors none of which were my own ideas. I did the legwork, but the groundwork was provided. Thanks, you know who you are.

We're rerouting for higher security, anonymity and the chance to overlap. Which means…what…?

Here's a question for you. Where have you wanted to go more than anywhere in the worlds? A time, a place, anything like that. There's a theory about alternate timelines I might be looking into based on company research. What've we got to lose at this rate?

Strip the defenses in the past, unveil the man behind the curtain in the present, secure the future. Someone told me this kind of thing was a lot of power to trust on you guys…but isn't that all we can do now? Trust each other and test the waters.

No missions this month. I checked out everything in Respatrum and Bosuma and it seems that the people there are more self-sufficient than I anticipated which was nice. The subway's still up and running though.

Coordinates will be incoming in a few days. I'm testing them out myself to make sure they're stabilized.

Stay sharp.

Robotics project

Miraculously, we're on schedule

But murphy's law says we could spend all night testing it and then the day of it glitches

Oof yeah.

I'm scared to even say anything in case it jynxes you.

Good luck??

Thanks!

Good luck with yours, too

What are you studying?

Me? I'm a music major, though I also have a few generals too.

Oooh

That makes sense, though!

So you're a music student AND a bard, huh?

Haha, well bards are musicians, right? So being a music student goes pretty hand-in-hand with that.

Knowing music already must have really come in handy once you started getting actual magic, huh?

Unless you changed majors after you remembered that stuff?

Haha, oh no. I've been learning music as long as I could remember. I probably would've gone for the major whether I got magic or not.

But...yeah. It did come in handy. Or rather, magic got a lot easier once I realized I could use music for it.

Yeah, that's what I thought!

Can you use your magic with other instruments too?

You know, I'm not sure! I'd probably need a magical instrument that can channel it, since my violin playing only gets magical when I use my orbal staff for it.

Orbal?

Oh right.

Orbal seems to be that world's word for magic energy? I'm sure there's specifics around why, but I can't quite remember them.

[He vaguely remembers studying it for a midterm but like heck did he keep that knowledge in his head]

Ohhhh...

so wait, how do you get your magic from your staff to your violin?
