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!*

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???]

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.

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]

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.

[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.

[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.

[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?
