Cleo Ritter 5/24 near Recolle University

Good afternoon. For those who don't know me, my name is Cleo Ritter, and I am a rather recent addition to this Retrospec community. I have some questions, to those of you who have received the strange visions after being made a part of this. Specifically, if you're willing, I'd like to hear about those visions. I thought if we collaborate and make a list of what kinds of visions each person receives, we might be able to find a pattern as to who gets what, and perhaps piece together a more complete understanding of what is going on here. Thank you in advance for being willing to share this, and I hope this will prove useful.

And I agree with that. [But?] But let's say there are some parallels in this life and whatever fantasy life Retrospec's dreaming up for us. You think that's simply them preying on what they know about us and manipulating it into something more interesting? Or is there possibly real basis for all of this?

[A shrug.] Those are the kind of questions we're all circling around right now without a lot of answers to.

[She nods.]

If I had to guess, I would say so. The visions come after similar events, do they not? It is a trick of the mind. We do something notable, and then Retrospec uses the fact that we're thinking on it to supply a fantastic version of similar events.

[A slow nod.]

I was playing Mad Libs with my best friend trying to get into the Retrospec building and I remembered meeting her inside a dragon's cave. But I get your point. If you really think that's the route we should go with this I can't exactly dissuade you on it.

The 'similar event' would then be your friend, rather than the context. Do you disagree?

[chiseler]

I disagree since the context of the memory itself and what we were doing don't match up. Thalia and I have been friends for a really, really long time. Knowing someone and meeting someone are two separate events. So. Why then? Why not?

[cattack]

Perhaps not. It is impossible to say just yet, but I think it is far too hasty to say these visions are proof of anything other than Retrospec is guilty of many, many crimes.

[chiseler]

All a part of the grand mystery. [A lopsided grin.] Anyway, you're free to take as many notes from the board as you want. I keep it updated as much as I can with everything people tell me, and it's not like the bar's gonna go anywhere. You're welcome back whenever. I just wish I had better answers for you.

[She nods, gratefully.]

I may have to take you up on this... You have my gratitude. I need to know as much as possible of this.
