hey, for the record we aren't keeping records on you through your electronics. they're useful tools sometimes but they're not required. mr. halloway wanted you (the people meeting at the utsuki dojos at 8pm on sundays) to know it's a nice effort but he still doesn't see any secret codes or handshakes so the meetings aren't spy-level enough to keep him happy yet. also he made me take notes on all of them. i don't really care about how spy-level they are, though. also the technicians managed to fix some things. Maurice Fitzwilliam Intern Retrspec Incorporated As of this post, the following changes have been made to the world: • Normal limes are available alongside the dancing variety. • Horse-related items such as horseshoes, bridles, and feeding bags. These items will still be regarded as unusual or fake by NPCs but will be available in various locations. • Visual media regains the color blue. This applies to all forms of film whether watching on-screen, online, or reviewing videos PCs recorded prior to the loss of color. Please note this is only videos, not pictures. Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently.

That does not answer the question.

[elevelvetor]

doesn't it?

[twostringsonebow]

It does not. Which one of the two is it?

[elevelvetor]

in a way, both. i hadn't realized i wanted to try until you said it was off the table.
it seems like it would be some very spooky good fun.

Messing with spirits is dangerous, Miss Velveteen. You should learn to have a healthy amount of respect for them, especially of the evil variety.

[elevelvetor]

so you believe they truly exist?

[twostringsonebow]

Of course, though that may be due to how I was raised. America has its own sort of... culture when it comes to the deceased, making a mockery of them and purposefully riling what could be sleeping for their own entertainment.

[can you feel the disapproval in his words]

[elevelvetor]

that's simply because we want proof.
for most people, belief is not enough. faith in what comes next is not enough.
only something caught on camera or recorder, whatever it takes to get it to appear, can satiate that curiosity.

[twostringsonebow]

What's your opinion on it?

[elevelvetor]

there are so many stories involving spirits.
for hundreds of years, mankind has been writing about a life after death. for hundreds of years, despite the lack-of substantial evidence pointing to the possibility that spirits can remain bound to this earth, mankind has searched and wanted something more than dying and disappearing for good.
there are many thoughts on it—the underworld, heaven, hell, limbo, purgatory. reincarnation, where one drifts a while before finding another place to begin again, until enlightenment is reached.
i think

that is, my opinion is that it is a lovely thought, and to be honest,
it may be better to believe by default lest you end up blinding yourself with denial.

[twostringsonebow]

Then we agree on no messing with the occult.

[elevelvetor]

i never said that.

[twostringsonebow]

We agree, Miss Velveteen.

[elevelvetor]

i suppose that we do.
