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.

Well, we aren't blessed with foresight, so I think we'll end up scattergunning it as always.

I'm sorry you've appeared at such a strange time. It's been a really hectic few months. Life's barely been normal for ages now.

I guess we'll do whatever we have to, though I really hope to avoid doing something dumb and, like, somehow preventing my own birth or something silly like that.

[When practical experience fails you, you can always turn to pop culture!]

I've definitely figured that much out. I just hope I'll eventually prove myself to be useful in all this chaos.

I don't think it works that way...

and I wouldn't worry about that. We need all hands on deck, you know. There aren't a ton of us.

What's your name?

Of course. I'll help no matter what, but right now the only skills I have are my acting training and dueling at quarter speed.

Asami Yuuki.

Well, if you need help speeding that up, I've regained skills my past self had. I can fight, and fight well. We used to have a training group that met regularly but most of the members are gone, and those of us that are left have talents and reflexes that make it hard. Fortunately, without magic I'm mostly a regular human.

I'm Penelope Raban. Pen, though, is preferred.

That would be fantastic! I've got the basics of fencing down, but it's been more for combat theater than practical defense, but I think I might have skills in my old world that I could relearn.

[If Yuuki can use her game character's skills, why couldn't she?]

It's nice to meet you Pen. I look forward to losing to you horribly when we spar!

Don't worry, I'll take it easy!

I'll do my best to keep up with you.

And also, I will bring snacks as a reward to finish.

[Look, she's just started cooking but she doesn't want to have all that sitting around for herself.]
