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. Please note that NPCs will not remember any of the members of Group 2 as having existed for the duration of this plot. Obviously this isn't a big deal, probably. Only members from Groups 1 and 3 may respond to this post. Set immediately post-this log, all characters will realize it is August 3rd! Groups 1 and 3 will notice that members of Group 2 are missing even if the NPCs are clueless as usual. The NPCs continue to think monsters are a normal thing as monsters continue to be a part of everyday life, although the monsters are now decidedly less holographic (despite their dissipation continuing to be a thing) and more hostile.

Please, has anyone seen Seto Kaiba since the attack at the convention? I can't find him, the people at his company are acting like he doesnt exist, his username says offline

Jirou Majima Kiryu Koutarou Tatsuo Tuuri Soujirou? I can't even think of everyone, so everyone?? please let me know youre ok!

[sakeplz]

hiiiiiiiiiii bb!

[judgementkazzy]

Hi Fai, I haven't seen Kaiba but I'll keep an eye out for him. I'm okay, though. Thanks for checking.

I'm not really sure what's going on with Retrospec, I think it might be busted. But I think we can fix it, too.

[spes_phthisica]

i'm fine and alive

your bf's not the only one
a friend of mine is gone and his mom acts as if she doesn't even have a son

i think if we want to find the we've just got to play along with w/e retrospec wants :/

[toobigtohandle]

Jirou is fine, I think. He was last time I saw him.
I haven't seen Seto around, sorry.

[skald]

Hi Fai I'm okay and I'm glad to see you're okay too!! I'll let you know if I see Kaiba but I haven't seen him since the convention, I'm sorry

[rygdea]

Isn't Seto Kaiba the name of the guy who hosted the convention? You mean to tell me he went missing too?

Okay, this is looking rather suspicious. Seems that all the users listed as "offline" are all missing, including Seto.

What's his description?

More Missing Persons

[smothershadow]

Has anyone seen or heard from Kurt Wagner? I have been unable to contact him. His professors claim not to know he exists.

If anyone has any information, contact me.

Please.

[She knows that word??]

[rygdea]

Kurt Wagner? Isn't he some big time actor?

Alright, I'm adding him to the list. We have quite a few "missing people" as of late.

[yamagishi]

Kurt too? Just how many more are missing here?

[ladytakamaki]

Oh god, Kurt...

I hope he's okay, too. Please keep me updated.

Re: More Missing Persons

[twelfthspark]

That doofus?

Crap. He wouldn't have stood a chance.

[toobigtohandle]

... What is going on here?

[Yes, that's it. This is the first time Kenta is witnessing the craziness that comes with being a Retrospec user and he just. does not quite get it.]

[sakeplz]

disasters I guess!

[skald]

IF YOU SEE EMIL VÄSTERSTRÖM picture attached here


HAVE YOU SEEN ME?

please tell him that I'm sorry that we missed his birthday but he doesn't have to sulk!!!

Also I really, really didn't want the stupid computer simulation theory to be true so if anyone can think of alternative explanations that still explain what's going on, please let me know.

[lalliho]

he's really sulking about something like that

[Surprise, things are weird enough that he's doing the contacting for once. Even if it's just to call Emil a dumb baby.]

[redarm]

uuuugh.
not surprised no ones asked but i guess someones gotta.

anyone seen Dante Rantanen?
hes 19, went prematurely gray
tends to act like a smug tool most of the time?

hes listed as offline and i cant reach him
i wouldnt break your neck looking for him
theres a good chance this is just one of his fucking unfunny pranks
but if you see him lemme know or whatever?

[rygdea]

Wait, even Dante went missing? And what's that about him going gray all of a sudden? The hell---

Somehow I doubt this is all a prank. All of the Retrospec users who've gone 'missing' are currently all offline. Needless to say there's a link here.

When was the last time you seen Rantanen?

[covenantal]

Given the circumstances, I'm not even sure why I'm bothering to ask, but has anyone seen Souji Narukami or Yosuke Hanamura?

Stay safe and stay together, everyone. We don't know what's coming next.

[daemonized]

Yu, are you safe?

[Important questions first. Important statements later.]

Please let me know immediately if you find anything regarding your brother. I'll do the same for you.

[worried uncle is SO WORRIED rip]

[spes_phthisica]

adding Yasusada Yamato to the list of missing people

[Attached is a picture of said nerd.]

messages to his phone don't get delivered, calls say he can't be reached, his profile's offline, etc

if you don't already, people should know that contacting people who are not retrospec users about missing people ends up with them acting as if they never existed. even close family and friends. it's the same as the whole "what is a horse" business except 1000x more terrifying.
but at least that way we know that retrospec are directly involved somehow. they're the ones who mess up our memories, after all.

[me_matey]

ill keep my eyes peeled for ur homey, homey. anyplace i should look?

[negativism]

First the hallucinomemories, then the monsters and now people going missing and "temporalspatial technicians".

Guys, I don't want to alarm you, but I think we're in a video game.










Also if you couldn't tell, I'm being facetious. Helps keep me from wanting to punch something. Or someone.

[vendettastool]

I'm injured so you can't punch me.

[kittycaterer]

[ Damn it. How the hell did he lose track of time? How the fuck is it August 3rd?

Noctis has no idea what's going on, and this is kind of horrifying him. ]

im looking for a few people i got separated from
prompto
ardyn
dr. rosalind lutece
dante
if anyone has seen any of these people please let me know as soon as possible
stay safe, everyone

[originallutece]

I'm all right.

Are you?

[mercurio]

DOES ANYONE HAVE 50FT OF ROPE IT'S AN EMERGENCY
or like a lot of blankets i'm not picky
but listen they have to be like 40+ blankets i guess???

ETA: IF SOMEONE'S LOOKING FOR ZORO HE'S KINDA DEAD
unless i get the rope
thanks

[crudest]

explain
where
will you hold him down when I kick his ass

[seeker]

obvious question, sorry. i'm out of anything clever. has anyone created a masterlist of those missing?
or taken note of those error codes, see if they might correlate to anything.
i doubt we have, uh
...time-space technicians on-hand, but knowing those codes may come in handy later.

[arahoushi]

think people are putting together lists of the missing
but everything still pretty scattered right now

the codes looked like dates until the third one
guess not
they're probably just codes like a computer spits out sometimes
the ones that just say "something went wrong" and don't actually help

[b0mbshell]

Kazuhira Miller Has anyone seen Carmen Sandiego?
Kazuhira Miller Some of my other friends are gone too. I'm more than a little nervous.

[rygdea]

Fynn Izunia Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Fynn Izunia Better yet, who the hell is she?!

[rebellions]

has anyone seen juzo sakakura
our rent is due and that old fart i mean landlord insists i'm renting the place alone
i can't fucking afford that

[eyestitch]

probably dead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

looks like you're on the hook for the whooooooole thing!

[lostapprentice]

the one month i decide to ignore this bullshit and then this happens. monsters, people going missing, reality flat-out breaking instead of just glitching.

that'll show me to try to live a normal life.

i don't have powers or anything, but if anyone needs any heavy lifting or protection, i can do enough.

[He's done with hiding himself, because it clearly doesn't matter anymore.]

8/9;

[complementing]

hey everyone, checking in again, are you guys alright...? Please answer me as soon as you can, okay?

but I especially want to talk with anybody from Team Cognac

you apparently passed the "qualification exam" like we did

let's do a little bit of info sharing, see if we can figure out what's going on

8/9;

[redarm]

[Noah's on cognac but he soooo doesn't want to talk about the "exam" so his message will be beyond short]

im fine.
