finding things?

[lostapprentice]

putting aside the fact that two colors have been removed from the spectrum for the sake of my own sanity: does anyone recognize this?



i found it near my work and got the sense that it was mine, even though i've never seen it. i know that whoever's behind all this has sent people strange items directly, but has anyone just found things seemingly at random?

i liked that other guy's helm better.

His was a bit more attractive, yes. And I've found items, and even helped others find them. They're almost certainly from Retrospec, which means it's tied to your hallucinations.

Have you had any yet?

[lostapprentice]

it's good to know what to expect. and i've had one, yes.

the more i think about it, the more i think i was wearing this in it, though if there were any reflections around i didn't notice them.

[true_noir]

You can't bank on a handy mirror to be around. I am 'fortunate' in that I didn't wear anything in these hallucinations that I couldn't see. It's all easily recognized.

Hopefully it was not too troubling, your vision.

[lostapprentice]

i appreciate the sentiment, but it was, unfortunately. this mask doesn't paint a much better picture.

i suppose it makes sense that you wouldn't be wearing something like this, from what you told me before. i didn't see any weapons in my vision, but i doubt it's a situation where anyone would have something as simple as a gun.

[She has to squint at it for a minute, but.]

Isn't that a children's ninja mask?
For Halloween or such.

[lostapprentice]

[Cleo why are you doing this to him...]

no. i doubt anything for children would be this heavy or seal itself to the head it was on like this does.

[cattack]

[she's a good person]

I see.
Perhaps it is from one of those children's superhero shows?
It looks very much like something a villain would wear in Mighty Rangers.

[lostapprentice]

[Great thanks for hitting the nail on the head there. Now he gets to feel simultaneously humiliated and awful! yaaaaay]

it does look like something a villain would wear, doesn't it.

i don't know that it's from anything.

[adoringpast]

looks like a cosplay prop, tbh

[lostapprentice]

[... ??? Cosplay? Brb googling.

Oh. Okay.]

i guess it does look like something from a movie.

[adoringpast]

yeah, kinda does. looks kinda like it came from some historical movie or something, but im not a big fan of the genre

[biellmann]

Maybe it's a motorcycle helmet? That's what it looks like to me.

[lostapprentice]

it's a bit too hard to see out of for that, though i'm sure it would at least partly help with the inevitable crash.

there are a few dents and scratches on it, in any case.

[biellmann]

Really? I've never ridden one so I don't really know.

There might be someone who can look at the damage and guess what it came from. That might tell you something about it. I saw a policeman using this app the other day.

Dude

That's the most metal shit ever

[lostapprentice]

thanks, i think.

[He's pretty sure his past self would appreciate this comment, anyway. Probably.]

it's actually made of metal, as well.

[livingdeadgirl]

from the thumbnail I thought that was an espresso maker

[lostapprentice]

[squints.]

they all do have that same color scheme, don't they?

i'd really have to wonder about the purpose of leaving it for me if that was what it was, though. but it wouldn't be that much stranger than what's been happening.

[livingdeadgirl]

perhaps the "you" of your visions could have been the world's greatest barista!

[glaciers]

It looks like a cosplay helmet.
A well used one.

[lostapprentice]

someone else said that, as well. but it's made completely of metal, so i'd think it would be too heavy for a simple costume.

[glaciers]

Maybe alternate you liked metal work?

[b0mbshell]

Seems like helmets are getting to be a popular thing to hand out?

[lostapprentice]

retrospec could start worse trends, i suppose.

[b0mbshell]

The need for doll furniture being high among them.

But thanks for confirming I'm not losing my mind over the colors. I asked about them and people might as well thought I was speaking gibberish. Someone asked me if I was having a stroke!
