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?

[ Too much salt. ]


Yoon-sung Lee What is there to tell?
Yoon-sung Lee Went home after work, came back to work the next day. No planned leave or anything.
Yoon-sung Lee To keep a track of what's going on. I have a slight idea but it's mostly guess work, so need a better information pool to work from.

[toushiro]

Toushiro Hitsugaya So...he didn't choose to leave. He just got ejected. Interesting.
Toushiro Hitsugaya I suppose it would help to at least keep count of how many people wound up in the same situation as your friend.

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee As far as I know. I don't keep track of everything he does.

[ Though considering that David is his bodyguard and lives in the same house, they still end up hanging around each other an awful lot. ]

Yoon-sung Lee Not only that, but useful skills. I know coding but how many else know it too? Who else can help with legal issues? Or doctors for people with physical changes?
Yoon-sung Lee People seem to accept changes so easily that it almost feels wrong. We should explore that too.

[toushiro]

Toushiro Hitsugaya I see.
Unfortunately I'm only a high school student, so I won't be of much assistance in that department.
I remember accepting all of these...strange phenomena happening before I received the app. It was as if suddenly, everything seemed off.

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee Just because you're in high school doesn't make you completely useless. It just means that you need to be creative with supplying help.
Yoon-sung Lee I design computer games. When we get ready to reset a parameter for upgrades or the like, we'll turn 'off' some of the NPCs and their reactions towards what we're working on.
Yoon-sung Lee But that's a ridiculous idea, isn't it?

[toushiro]

Toushiro Hitsugaya If the idea takes off, I'll see if my mother can gather some people she knows.
What, the NPCs being the people behind Retrospec?

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee Anything would be useful. I don't know how many people are still looking into the background for this.
Yoon-sung Lee The people who are 'off' like you were had been reduced to something like NPCs. Which is a stupid idea, right?

[toushiro]

Toushiro Hitsugaya Let me know if you have any leads.
I know someone.
Toushiro Hitsugaya In video game terms, it makes sense. Do people who've lost their memories ever come back?

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee I will. Link anyone you think might have an idea here online or off.I'm not that hard to miss in any place.
Yoon-sung Lee In the video games? It's easy enough to get the code back. I don't know about people linked to the app. It seems too pat of an idea and really. Who else would think about video games in terms of living people and see them as being both?

[toushiro]

Toushiro Hitsugaya Will do.
Toushiro Hitsugaya It's not a bad train of thought. Obviously your methods will have to be different, but you're correct in that people who 'revert' back to how they were before are worth investigating.

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee Once you think in code and all that, I guess.
Yoon-sung Lee I think there were notes by someone about something they found in the building that one time; I might need to look back again and see where it was and what it said.
Yoon-sung Lee Pretty sure it sounded like the kind of things I've heard while working on story boards.

[toushiro]

Toushiro Hitsugaya What exactly was it that they found?

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee Some files with standard stuff in them with a sticky note that had something like 'Redo file from the beginning'.
Yoon-sung Lee I would have to look back to be sure.
