June 9th near Birch Hills
Hi everyone, it's me again. I'll try and keep it short and sweet this time.

First. Last month, during that week when everyone was super tiny, there were a lot of people who wandered into the woods because they heard voices calling out to them. It doesn't seem like whatever was calling to us is there anymore, thankfully, but I think this is a perfect chance to go back and go deeper into the forest, as deep as we can go to see if we can find the source of those voices, or anything else that might be there. I'm planning this thing for the 18th, and I wanted to know if anyone else wanted to come with. Keep in mind that even if nothing is likely to lure us in again, there's still a potential for danger. So in my opinion, the bigger the group, the better. We can all watch each other's backs.

Which brings me to my next point. I know a lot of people have been exploring all the weird places in the city, and eventually I'd like to get accounts from you guys to compile together-- but for now, I wanted to ask if we could make a more concerted effort to explore together, instead of splitting up into our own tiny groups. The main reason being: Jim is constantly watching our movements and reading our posts. He's the only one we have any kind of contact with from Retrospec, and he's shown us in the past couple of months that he likes commenting on what we do and how we act. There's no telling if anything he says might be able to help us down the line, but in order to get him to talk at all, we have to get his attention. And a big group of people poking around for information on Retrospec is a lot more comment-worthy than tiny groups.

Obviously there's a risk of exposing ourselves too much to him (though I'd argue we're pretty exposed as it is already). And I can't stop people from exploring on their own. I just wanted to put the idea out there that it might be better to do it together.

There's one last thing I want to mention. Yosuke recently suggested that my dog Koromaru should try sniffing out a Retrospec employee by smelling something that was sent by mail. I'm not sure if it'll work, but me and Koromaru are willing to give it a try, so if you get something in the mail from Retrospec and want to let us have a go at it, text me any time of the day or night, I'll come running. Oh, and just to be safe, don't touch the box or wrapping it comes in.

Thanks for reading. Hopefully I'll have something more fun to talk about the next time I post here.
[ooc: the open log for this mini expedition will be up on the 18th, for anyone who would like to have their character join! Nothing too exciting other than getting stuck in an infinite loop and attempting to escape said infinite loop will happen...probably ;3 I decided against making a post in the OOC comm for this so if you have any questions, feel free to PM me!]

Over here! You did very good! [she calls back cheerfully, waving at her from the doorway of her dorm room.] Technically you're supposed to roll the r, but I know most people aren't used to it. Look at the puppy! Ooh, look at his eyebrows!

[For some reason her eyebrows are also tiny little dots??? She feels a oneness with this dog.]

Ahem, anyway. Thanks for coming over!

Hi Minako! [Tuuri is busy reaching out to pat Koromaru on the head, because he's so cute-- she's not quite taking this seriously yet.] Oh, sorry-- anyway, it's here in the back of my closet, I haven't taken it all the way out of the box!

[She leads them into the closet of her room, kicking a hamper to the side to reveal the box from Retrospec, still partially open, the fur trim of a thick winter coat poking out.] Um, I wasn't sure if I should pull it out or not, I didn't want to... disrupt the scent. [She is pretty sure that's not correct English, but whatever.] But I only took it out of the box once, and didn't put it on, so hopefully it should be okay.

[ He squints for a minute. He already knows the answer but it's so...obvious, he has to doublecheck and make sure he's not seeing things. ]

Yeah. That's definitely it--looks exactly the same as before. On the outside anyway.

Not like that's a huge surprise. Retrospec packages come from Retrospec, big shock.

sure, no problem
that’ll probably be easier to explain than asking around for sterile sewing kits anyway

Ahaha, yeah, I guess you're right... but that's fine! Okay, let's see...

[She also doesn't want to handle the box too much, so... after a second of thought, she wraps both of her hands up with a scarf to drag it out of the closet.]

Could you get the door? I'll put it down in the hallway.
