retrospec | (no subject)

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.

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.

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

This is a different penguin. The one I had before was an emperor penguin chick. Pengy is... I'm not exactly sure which species of penguin she is, but she's definitely not an emperor penguin, plus I think she's full grown.

Thanks. Though, I'll try to keep the falling and crashing to a minimum.

No one flies planning on crashing :P

Oh, so, I guess your keeping this one then? How much fish does she eat?

Yeah. I've had her a whole week now, and no sign of her disappearing. I guess since I got her from the mailbox and she didn't just randomly appear near me.

Even though I think she's full grown, she's kind of small. So I feed her shrimp and small fish. About half a pound a day?

Oh, half a pound a day doesn't seem so bad.

So how much has she been able to carry so far? I take it you can phase and fly at the same time now?

I've only tested with myself at this point.

And, yeah, pretty much. I can use my phasing on Pengy, so we both become intangible while flying.
