Three options for you. 1.) We test the timelines based on the ideas of people who went backwards and checked into things. You know who you are. Like I said before, we have three tries to check to try and improve the situation. 2.) We just charge straight ahead and hope for the best. 3.) We actually come up with a plan with volunteer basis, split you guys into groups, and proceed from there. As I've mentioned, Mr. Murdock raised a proposition of having volunteers for the Retrospec project to prove themselves to Vanderweele and get him to back off the project. Mr. Togusa changed the contract in the past that Retrospec will go public, more or less, when the first world has reached full completion. Ms...Anna (Anna it's too weird to call you by something proper) has volunteered herself to jump forward to a degree where she's regained her abilities, powers, and strength. So if you see double, don't be alarmed. Here's the thing. No matter what path we take, it's always been the same. The end has always been about stopping Vanderweele's influence over the city and shutting down his power. While there are a lot of ways we can do that, it's always been that ultimate goal to get the city back to what it was. Release people memories. Adjust everything. All that. The pieces of the puzzle finally fell into place to give us a clue of what we're supposed to do here. Under the ocean there's a base in a trench hidden away. The further you go, the less the water appears. It's displaced, but the pressure of the ocean itself might kill you before you get down there unless we loosen the binds. We have two objectives here: destroy the eye that's feeding his defenses in the city, and destroy the base in the ocean to siphon his power out and stop what's been started. Pick a side. Once you know your strengths and weaknesses, we'll have a better sense of how to attack and take him by surprise. Got it? Fixing the city? That's "finishing" its regrowth. And taking away his power means sending memories and energy back to where it belongs. This is going to be the last thing I'll ask of you guys. So...think on that.

*SPOILERS FOR CURSED CHILD!*

[blondferret]

Sooooo.... this is awkward.

I know I was like "hell no" about volunteering to deal with Vanderweele and like...be one of those seed things. But...

I just got a memory of my other self, Draco, going back in time to save his son and to prevent a daughter of an evil wizard from bringing her father back to life and screwing up time for the whole wizarding world.

So... perspective I guess?

So what I'm saying is... I'm willing to help out and volunteer and like put my life on the line.

[Oh my gosh Derek, can you be more awkward???]

[psykick]

HUH. So it DID end up involving that evil wizard.

[blondferret]

Told you it would happen.

So, if you had to choose one of Zee's options, which one? I would say #2 is the worst option.

[maidofmistakes]

You guys had time travel?

[blondferret]

It was highly regulated by the government, but yes. The wizarding world had devices called Time Turners. I don't know about forward in time, but you could go back in time. Time Turners are like small hour glasses, which depending on how many times you turn it determined how many hour or years you go back in time.

2. That's what everyone has done every month regardless, so why change now? Just get this thing over with already. Going back isn't a way forward, it's wasting time to rehash things that have already taken place. That's not progress, and that isn't going to make anything easier.

Re: un: malik

[standalonehuman]

Well, then, how do you feel about water?

[godcards]

I don't know how to swim.

[standalonehuman]

I'm still unsure of what is needed of the people chosen as anchors for that first idea. I don't know if we need to go into the past to verify what Tatsuo and I did to the contract.

But once this works, Retrospec is finally going to have to face something for what they've done.

Screw Vanderweele. If you absolutely need me there, fine. Of all the skills I've gotten from the other Togusa, surprise, SCUBA certification is one of them. But my priority is to bring Retrospec's crimes to light.

One part of what Zee and I talked about needs a volunteer that is comfortable with the world that we are seeing existing. As much as the other Togusa's world needs to exist? I need to stay here. If we're going to move forward with an investigation, my job is here. But who actually likes what they are seeing?

[flametheif40]

WOOOO! Wait "something" for what they have done?

Look, they have done shady shit, I agree, but trying to punish Retrospec above all else?

How would the law even begin to enforce whatever ruling they would dish out, when, arguably, whatever the law has could very well be a result of whatever Retrospec did!

Not to mention, they have time travel and can alter reality, supposedly the things that happen to us, like October was their "mistakes"

What if they actually meant to do us and the city harm?

[thisloveisjustice]

So basically, we need someone who is okay with the world from their past life being finished. But because we don't know if our souls get pulled back once that world is complete, whoever volunteers needs to be okay with going back?

[psykick]

Do you mean that if we complete the world in our memories, we might get idk pulled back there?

I mean, I think there's still a lot of stuff I haven't remembered yet, but my old world was pretty neat. Sure, I've remembered some gnarly stuff, like someone dropping a tanker ship in the middle of Shinjuku and taking over the Diet building. But if I got pulled back into that life, I think I'd be okay.

Not that I really want to go there. But I'd be okay.

[blondferret]

It really depends on the time period I'm seeing in Draco's world.

If you go to when he's a teenager, his in the middle of a war. Though from what I gather from other memories of when he's an adult, the evil wizard is defeated. Not that his adult life is fantastic, but, there seems to be people there who know how to deal with crazy guys with magical abilities.

[maidofmistakes]

...do you have someone for this? Because I'm here. Still waving the Retrospec supporter flag, still wanna go back to my old world and my old life? I mean, I'd miss everyone here, but my sister and my friends all lost their memories months ago. I kind of already lost it all anyway.

Home is Super Hero High. Not Recollé. So you have me.

[flametheif40]

Not exactly sure, but whatever it is, it should be done with our own hands without losing everything we gained from all the shit.

I have a powerful fire spell that I haven't used yet, I don't think I would feel comfortable using it in the presence of an illusionist, so, I guess maybe take a shot at the eyeball thing?

I should be able to fly at some point...hopefully sooner rather than later.

Depending on what the volunteer thing is, I might sign up, but taking Vanderweele down, making sure we can live and...I suppose the project must go on.

Who knows how much good the project can ultimately bring, even if there are bumps on the way.

[blondferret]

Do you even have the ability too control the fire spell you haven't used yet? I've seen you loose control. I don't want you hurting yourself.

[psykick]

Huh. I think I could go either way. Giant eyeball or underwater base. I wonder if my phasing would help protect against water pressure. I know it protects against heat.

Also. Anyone remember a little while back when I had a penguin chick following me around? Luckily it vanished after a few days. Kind of glad I had that experience now. Because I got a mailbox ticket. And Pengy came out.

[insert pic of this cute penguin here]

Fun fact. Pengy can fly! And grant flight to anyone touching her. I know she can carry at least two people from a memory. But if anyone wants to help me test her weight limits, that would be cool.

[flametheif40]

AWWW! She's so cute!

So, same penguin? or is Pengy a different one?

I would be down helping! I have a memory about flying out of a volcano...after an asshole stompped me in lava, so, hopefully, that can help me regain my ability to fly!

Sides, I have experience falling and crashing

[hauntedsavior]

Still haven't actually tried jumping into the future and convincing myself to come back, but I'm pretty sure I'll still be down. If I can get that far, at least.

If it does work, I'm gonna take out the eye. Actual proper-ass A2 Anna is gonna go underwater. Hell, by the time she gets here, she'll already know what she's gotta do, right?

Shit, I'm gonna need the computer brain to figure out how that's supposed to work.

[blondferret]

Has Zee explained to you how you jumping forward in time is going to work?

[flametheif40]

Wait...a proper A2?

Wouldn't you be completely robotic at that point?

[godcards]

I don't know, you're pretty easy to convince, in my experience...

:)

[invocate]

I'm going after the giant eye too. I'm much better at aerial battles than underwater ones.

[belligerentwarrior]

there's a pretty easy way to test if you still need oxygen you know

[maidofmistakes]

I'm pretty strong, but I think I'll be needed in the ocean. Turns out I can hold my breath underwater long enough to basically never need it. Neat, huh? And I think I could use that weird outfit as a wetsuit or something, even though it's pretty heavy.

But what Mr. Togusa said's important, too. I think out of everyone, I'm probably the one who most wants to go back to their other life. There's not much left of "everyone," anyway. So if you need me there, I'll do what you need me to.

We're all gonna have to work together, okay?
