second verse same as the first

Yoon-sung Lee 05/02 near Recolle

Who else on here has been looking into the coding and otherwise strangeness of this app? We need to make a list, also a list of people who are now no longer connected like the rest of us to this app. In fact, I have an actual first hand account of someone that is off the grid now. As in a fellow UNlocked and I were running through some code, checking up on the flood of all these new people, and then went our separate ways, and when I got up to be ready for the usual early morning torture aka self-defense class with him, someone else is in his place. Well. I mean that it is him but it's not him. Same face, same voice, same mannerisms but a huge chunk of his memories of the past few months is gone. Like erased gone. He can't see the app, he doesn't remember horses or non-singing fruit. I'm a little shook up by this. Okay. A lot. The guy's my PA. He's not allowed to not be out of the loop I can't survive this way! Sorry but it's hard being an adult when the real adult is like some kind of smiling robot of themselves that isn't even smiling right. He's like a pod person there is no snark there is no sass WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TALKING BACK SASS? Also I need a very large drink. Make that three large drinks. And someone that will let me flail at them in a martial arts kind of way. I'll pay for both. Seriously. Help?

[ holy shit that's a lot of words ]

Toushiro Hitsugaya You wouldn't happen to know how he got off the grid, would you?

[vendettastool]

[ He feeling a lot of words today. Too many words and there is no one that would appreciate them in person. ]

Yoon-sung Lee No. He was normal when he left. Totally a pod person when he came to work the next day.

[toushiro]

Toushiro Hitsugaya He could've at least told us that much before he left.

[ salty. ]

Toushiro Hitsugaya What do you intend on using the list for?

Alice Penelope Drake The same thing happened to me.
Alice Penelope Drake I wish I could tell you how I got out, but I don't know.
Alice Penelope Drake All I know is I forgot everything.
Alice Penelope Drake The same thing happened to my sister but honestly she has enough problems without being involved in this so I don't mind so much.

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee Did you move away at all?
Yoon-sung Lee Or took a new job or a new position?
Yoon-sung Lee Your sister is still outside of all of this?

[onceandfuturemascot]

Alice Penelope Drake No, honestly. No major changes, unless school stress literally made me forget I even had the app in the first place.
Alice Penelope Drake And yes, she's totally unaware of it now. Tried showing her my phone and everything. It's awkward, but it's better for her.

Tatsuo Kihara I can't help with the code stuff, but I could help with the drinks and martial arts stuff.

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee I don't mind buying so you wouldn't have to worry about that.
Yoon-sung Lee I would usually recruit help from my PA about the practice but he's won too many times and I want to surprise him. So yes, thanks.

[thisloveisjustice]

Tatsuo Kihara No problem. I like finding new people to spar with. And I get a free drink too? Nice deal.
Tatsuo Kihara The Utsuki Dojo is in Tisse near the border of Chata. Lessons end at 7:30, so I'll be free after that. Sensei won't mind if we use the studio as long as we clean up after ourselves.

Hitori Togusa Shit. I haven't been in contact with Officer Gladio Amicia since he left. I thought he was just busy.
Hitori Togusa Your assistant, did he just forget everything, the people he'd met? Now he doesn't notice anything is wrong?

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee It's just like with Alice. Found her relatives and haven't heard from her since. Not even a note asking about her cats.
Yoon-sung Lee He knows I have a weird circle of new friends but he thinks that a few of you are just fans of the games I've made.

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa More of Officer Amicia's friends are on here. Do you think

[In real life, Togusa is staring at the still empty desk where Gladio used to sit. Oh, if he's right on this, someone has to break the news to Prompto.]

Hitori Togusa If they've left, do you think they don't remember us any more?

Chloe Bouchard I believe that I recognize your name from a previous talk or two with someone.
Chloe Bouchard You are one of those mentioned alongside Tim as a programmer.
Chloe Bouchard Sadly, I cannot help much here, but I think pooling your resources is an excellent idea.

Chloe Bouchard I can offer help with sparring, however.
Chloe Bouchard I have a lot of physical energy pent up lately.

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee I've heard about Tim but have yet to contact him.
Yoon-sung Lee I'm thinking more then just programmers.
Yoon-sung Lee There should be a list of who to go to for what since it seems we are having weirder and weirder hallucimemories happening, and physical changes.

Yoon-sung Lee Great!
Yoon-sung Lee My PA isn't someone I want to practice this with until I know what I'm doing.

[true_noir]

[That blasted word again... fine, fine, you win Dave.]

Chloe Bouchard You know, I think I give in. I will start calling them that, since so many are using that word and I don't want to confuse people.
Chloe Bouchard And yes, a list like that would almost certainly be helpful, since there are certain things that we need help with but without the right professional we might not get it.

Chloe Bouchard Have you been acquiring powers or skills back lately, just for my reference?
Chloe Bouchard I have been attempting to get used to some that they have given me, or that have appeared recently, so I understand wanting to be careful.

Yamashiro Seto I started looking into the coding because there was no functionality to change the display name on this application.
Yamashiro Seto Unfortunately the thing about this app is that the code refuses to be overwritten no matter what I throw at it.
Yamashiro Seto My forte is on console games, not so much mobile applications, but I know enough about what I'm doing that the fact that nothing affects this app bothers me.

[ Later. ]

Yamashiro Seto Whoever coded this app has basically made this the most clunky piece of shit I've ever seen.
Yamashiro Seto I'll take you up on that offer for drinks if no one else has, this code needs at least three drinks.

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee It stays to whatever it knows as your name no matter what you wish otherwise.
Yoon-sung Lee It doesn't show up in a full system sweep, and it doesn't register at all in any shape or form when you track down the coding itself. If you can find it, that is.
Yoon-sung Lee I work on MMO and game designs. I was raised to work on them, so, I guess I'm good at it idek.

Yoon-sung Lee There's always room for more drinks. Besides meeting up in person can be better.
Yoon-sung Lee Less chance of some snooping.

[crushcard]

Yamashiro Seto I changed my name legally five years ago but it's not showing on the app.
Yamashiro Seto I've managed to track down some snippets of code but even so they're clunky and I'm suspect that that isn't even the actual source code.
Yamashiro Seto I see. I own a game publishing company. I would be open to discussing a possible collaboration.

Yamashiro Seto Considering that we're talking about the app in the app itself, it's probably for the best. Cabin 11?

Kazuma Kiryu I know forgetting about horses and fruit is weird, but calling others "pod people" seems a little much...
Kazuma Kiryu He's still your friend, isn't he?

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee He's not really the same and it's just not the horses and the fruit thing.
Yoon-sung Lee It kind of creeps me out to tell the truth.
Yoon-sung Lee Not as much? There's something missing.

[judgementkazzy]

Kazuma Kiryu Did he forget stuff? Does this app also give people brain damage if they stop using it...?
Kazuma Kiryu I guess that would be pretty weird.
Kazuma Kiryu You've tried asking him about it and still nothing?

[divine_braid]

Donald Maxwell Wait... he was all like cool and stuff, then turned into a vegetable, and now he's not on the app or anything?
Donald Maxwell That can't be normal.

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee Not really a vegetable, just not really himself.
Yoon-sung Lee It shouldn't be normal, but yet here I am.

[mercurio]

this was the dude that hung around you a lot wasn't it?

[vendettastool]

Yeah. Personal Assistant and bodyguard and friend, I guess. He kind of was being paid to make sure I didn't get into trouble.
