To the users of Retrospec:

This message comes from both Grell Sutcliffe and Lucian Trevelyan. There’s been discussion recently of certain changes coming over our userbase. Changes that come in different forms, from certain unexplained moments that feel like dreams or perhaps memories, items showing up without cause, or certain physical attributes undergoing shifts in inexplicable ways. It’s to the latter that we address ourselves.

We are both medical professionals, and as such we’d like to say that if you undergo such changes and would like someone to take a look at what’s happened to you, for any reason, we’re capable of doing so and willing to provide you with what information and care you need. Anyone that comes to see us will be treated with the same standards as we’d give any patient - your information will remain confidential, and your visits will be at your discretion.

[ Here is the address to an establishment in Chata, along with the phone number. ]

If you’d like to make an appointment for your visit, contact Dr. Trevelyan, and standard clinic hours will apply. Weekend morning appointments can also be arranged. If you require care outside of office hours or need things to be looked at immediately, contact Dr. Sutcliffe.

We are here to help you. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us should you have any sort of question or concerns. Feel free to comment to this post as well if you see fit.

[[ooc: since they co-wrote the post, either or both Grell (erythristic) and Lucian (accordance) will reply to threads - if you want one in particular, just say so in your thread header!]]

i would do it if auntie needed it to be done
i want to help
but if you want moral support
i can do that too !

[erythristic]

thank you, anya, it'll mean a lot to know someone's there encouraging us through this. don't underestimate the importance of that.

[constellates]

does that still mean a lot ?
auntie should always be supported !
because auntie only does good things and works hard
anya wants to be like that

[erythristic]

[oh Anya...that's high praise for her and she doesn't know how to take that other than quietly dying over the post. why is her niece so sweet. may she always be filled with optimism.]

with that drive, you'll certainly end up like that. just as long as you don't forget to make time for everything else in life besides working, i think you'll end up exactly where you wish to be.

[don't call her out of the hypocrisy of her advising someone else to not work too hard.]

[constellates]

make time for everything else ?
like family and friends ?
is that what auntie means

[erythristic]

family, friends, your own hobbies and the like. you can't just work all of the time.

[constellates]

is that what auntie learned ?
balance ?

[erythristic]

[LET'S DRIVE PAST THAT QUESTION ENTIRELY]

it's the same with school, now that i think about it.

.... just assume this goes straight to grell's texts instead of retrospec

[constellates]

[i'm too lazy to move inboxes to continue a thread]

auntie ?
you did not answer

[erythristic]

didn't answer what, katzi?

[constellates]

did auntie not learn balance ?
it is difficult
so it is ok if you are still learning too ?

[erythristic]

do you ask because you're worried about me? don't be. i'm doing more than fine, really!

[constellates]

i am worried
because auntie did not answer the question about balance
and still is not answering
it is ok if the answer is no ?
not because i do not believe in auntie
but if it a mistake then we all make mistakes
it is more scary when they are not noticed

[erythristic]

[there is a long silence from the other end, before there is a reply. dammit. she shouldn't have said a single thing. there's that feeling in her chest again, the slow tightness like something drawn across her ribcage.]

i don't answer because i can't answer, anya. i'm not sure, and even if i knew the answer was no, would it change much?
i don't think i'd be able to alter any ways of being or thinking.

[constellates]

if you are happy you do not need to change
that is what i think
as long as you are in good health too

[erythristic]

i hope i am in good enough health.
i know i haven't been getting enough sun lately, at least.

[constellates]

no ?
does auntie want to go out for a day with anya ?

[erythristic]

i think i'd like that very much. when you're next free, my dear, let me know, and i'll come with you.

[constellates]

after romeo and juliet !
we will go
and have an auntie and anya day
