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.

That would be one hell of an return concert for him XD

[He has no idea who she is talking about and is googling like nuts.]

God, are you even old enough to remember Ronnie James Dio? Holy Diver, Don't Talk to Strangers, Rainbow in the Dark? The eight or so lines he dropped in the Tenacious D movie?

God, don't tell me you know him from that shitty OP:MC sequel album. Not even Dio could save that one from Geoff Tate.

[Googling intensifies for several minutes until he puts his hands up in the air and goes for a tiny lie]

Okay, cards on the table I'm just googling him now, I sort of remember A rock and roll song that sort of sounds like him.

I think it was Rainbow in the Dark that I listened to a couple of times and went "Ah, so that's the guy who died, neat" sort of deal.

You are so lucky this isn't back with the 2010 version of me, dude. She'd rip all the way into you for just calling him "the guy who died".

We make it out of this alive, I'll get you a best-of and we'll throw some horns or something.

Well I didn't exactly do much digging, I must have been like...12? Something like that? There was a buzz and I wanted to know.

I remember using VHS tapes around the time...yes, I was that poor.

Sweet! Or maybe we can just have some heavy metal blasting when I open up the gate to hell...at least I think that's part of the spell.

"Bring forth the great hellfire that shall judge the earth", I think it's a good bet that opening a gate to hell is implied.

I mean, yeah, hell's right there in the name. So you're asking if I wanna find hell with you? And saying you can show me what it's like?

Shit, you definitely don't know Danzig.

Ah well. Either way, promise me you won't cleanse the earth in fire until we figure this whole Vanderweele out.

I didn't think of it like that, but I was more like thinking "I need something to mark the occassion when I sue it"

Although, Maybe we can shove Vanderweele in there if that's how it works, I just remember a giant flaming sword coming out of a giant white portal, so, maybe not?

But...What if Lord Dio commands it :P

If our lord and savior Ronnie James Dio demands that the world be cleansed in hellfire, then yeah, fucking absolutely we do it, that's how it works. But I think he's a little too busy running Hell after he kicked the devil's ass into submission, so we won't have to worry about it for now.

Probably.
