Eleanor Lamb
2/13 near Recollé
Is anyone else still stuck wearing those ridiculous beads from the founder's day parade, or is it just me? I've tried throwing them away, having other people throw them away, cutting them off...nothing works. I even have to shower with the bloody things on!
I can't imagine having these around my neck for the rest of my life but it is honestly starting to feel like that is a distinct possibility. It's not...just me, right?

Hitori Togusa I put them like a lanyard on my keys. Then they kept showing up in my pocket instead of around my neck.
Hitori Togusa But have you noticed this happening to anyone who isn't a part of this network?

Eleanor Lamb I was keeping it in my pocket originally but I think I tried to throw them away too many times.
Eleanor Lamb Now I can't take them off at all.
Eleanor Lamb No though. Just people on that new retrospec thing.

Hitori Togusa Now that part doesn't make any sense. No, none of this makes sense, but at least the motivation would make better sense if it was everybody.
Hitori Togusa You noticed the logo on them? I figured this was just dumb viral marketing on the part of Retrospec.
Hitori Togusa But why bother marketing to only your own user base?

Eleanor Lamb If you have a better idea for what happened I'd love to hear it.
Eleanor Lamb But I rather doubt any of this will make sense to us.
Eleanor Lamb I tried going by their office, but it was just an empty lobby.

Hitori Togusa You tried it too? Damn.
Hitori Togusa None of this is going to make any sense until we can talk to somebody. Get a name or a face for who these people are.
Hitori Togusa I'm sorry that whatever they're up to is inconveniencing you.

Chloe Bouchard No, I still have them too.
Chloe Bouchard At this point, it's more annoying than it is creepy.
Chloe Bouchard I'm wearing it as a bracelet, though. More convenient.
Chloe Bouchard Seems the weirdness won't end, doesn't it?

May Sfondi maybe theyre haunted by the ghost of mardi gras past and you need to send someone nudes

Eleanor Lamb Yeah. I was locked inside with another girl for a while.
Eleanor Lamb I have a friend who thinks it's aliens.
Eleanor Lamb Maybe she's right

Eleanor Lamb Bracelet is definitely less creepy than a necklace.
Eleanor Lamb But no this is just getting stranger.

Eleanor Lamb I suppose it isn't the internet till a random stranger tries to see me naked.

Akira Midousuji hard work and determination. or did you think mood-changing, teleporting beads would be easy to remove?

Eleanor Lamb Honestly, I thought mood-changing, teleporting beads didn't exist.
Eleanor Lamb So I don't really have a clue how much effort should be involved in getting rid of them.

Chloe Bouchard I do not wish it to be, and would rather it be some elaborate prank.
Chloe Bouchard But something is undeniably wrong about this.
Chloe Bouchard Still, I am going to remain positive until it proves malicious.

May Sfondi ew i didnt say send ME nudes you pervert

Rachel Hishimura Have you noticed they're shaped exactly like the logo of the app they've so graciously imparted upon us?

Because they haven't found enough ways to be annoying and disconcerting I guess.

Eleanor Lamb Believe me, I have noticed everything about these stupid things.
Eleanor Lamb I tried to go by the company but it's just an empty office.

Eleanor Lamb And yet you're the only one that brought them up.
Eleanor Lamb Don't worry, I'm only judging a little.

Eleanor Lamb If this is a prank, it is...beyond impressive.
Eleanor Lamb I don't think I can manage your optimism though.
Eleanor Lamb At least not while I'm wearing a mood-noose.

[It was a forced, self-deceiving and desperate optimism that was grabbing onto whatever flotsam was in the water to avoid drowning in the sheer 'what the fuckery' that was already happening to them all. The crap hadn't hit the proverbial fan, and it was already a lot for a simple florist's mind to handle.]

Chloe Bouchard Just try to find the positives.
Chloe Bouchard And definitely put it on your wrist or somewhere less conspicuous.
Chloe Bouchard It will be on your mind less.

Rachel Hishimura Did you go inside? I heard strange things about that indirectly.

Akira Midousuji surely you could guess it would be no picnic to remove that which defies reason. maybe you should just content yourself to a life wearing cheap plastic beads...?

Hitori Togusa The tech that Retrospec has is either really advanced, or just a new trick nobody else has figured out yet. But I'm pretty sure it's not that advanced.
Hitori Togusa Getting all our identities is easy. But the user identification tech? The beads? And then their own offices?
Hitori Togusa There has to be a reasonable explanation, though.

Eleanor Lamb You think there's a reasonable explanation for all the horses turning into birds?
Eleanor Lamb I mean, I want you to be right but.

Eleanor Lamb I'd love to put them on my wrist but I can't take them off.

Eleanor Lamb Do you have any actually useful advice?
