so a lot of people have been talking about receiving packages in the mail from retrospec lately. we've had fruit, stuffed animals, various accessories... but i want to know more about the other things people have been getting. the weird changes that don't make sense

like anya suddenly being fluent in russian or yin's eyes changing color

how many of you guys have had stuff like THAT happen so far? what sort of changes are we seeing here?

people have been getting these flashes over the past month and a half, and now some people are turning up with these random physical changes or abilities they definitely didn't have the day before. i wanna know if there are just a couple people who've experienced this or if it's more common than we think


on a somewhat related note, who here knows anything about swordfighting? i think i want to try something

You want to "try something" with a sharp blade that you have no experience with.

[He knows where this came from, of course, but really, Dante?]

If you lose a finger or two in the process of this mysterious "something", I still expect for you to turn in your work in time. Just so you're aware.

[darkinferno]

why does everybody think i'm going to either gut myself or someone else here i know how to be careful

besides i'm sure i could get a doctor's note to let me off the hook

[daemonized]

Refer to the above, specifically the part about "no experience".

But I take it you have enough sense to use practice gear instead of something actually sharp and made of tempered steel. If you must go through with this idea of yours.

[Please stop making him lowkey worry about his uni students, it's mentally taxing.]

[darkinferno]

well yeah obviously

i'm not going to grab a legit sword and try to stab something with it that's just asking for trouble

i just wanna test something out

[And Ardyn knows exactly what that is, he's sure. It's not that hard to figure out, after their previous conversation.]

[daemonized]

What are you hoping to have happen? Another memory? A sudden, inexplicable understanding of how to wield a sword?

[Listen, he'll not stop him. But it's job as An Adult to tell him to be careful at least once.]

[darkinferno]

[On his end, Dante shrugs.]

i don't know, i'm not really holding my breath for anything to happen

but these flashes are triggered by something, right? so who knows, maybe trying it will unlock something

[daemonized]

You'll share, I hope? At this point, I'm far too invested in the narrative.

[darkinferno]

yeah, and with the way my luck's going i'll probably remember getting stabbed through the chest or something

i'll let you know what happens

[daemonized]

I certainly hope not. Don't tempt fate, or you really will find yourself reliving something that traumatic, or worse.

[darkinferno]

actually you've got a good point there i take it back

here's hoping that this goes entirely as expected and turns out boring
