mr. kaiyou asked about extra manpower. we can't really grant access to anyone other than we have now unless someone switches out, and i can't unlimit the people the doctor put on probation, but you can all consult with one another so long as you're in network areas although in some locations you may only be able to reach your actual team consultant if you were assigned one. or one another if you were not. i'd advise you to maybe try not to get put on probation on here but i can't really stop you if you do. so i'll just say that this is still being monitored and none of you are actually required to work with us, so. please allow the people who are trying to the time to do so. i did warn mr. kaiyou it's a possibility. Maurice Fitzwilliam Intern Retr ![]() Please be advised monsters from the Bestiary can still be found around town. The convention center is still wrecked as well! Other damage can be found around town such as broken windows, some destroyed buildings, etc. Strangely, the monsters were courteous and left people's homes alone (for the most part.) Please note: this mingle is for Group One and Group Three members. Those of Group Two are still missing and time is still moving normally. This means they have been gone for one week as of today.
Group One and Group Three members may continue to create their own posts and logs about the state of affairs, though this post is a good time to link up and discuss what's happening city-side. 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. |

Hitori Togusa Thank you. I figure we're in this together, and someone might be able to make better use of something I come across than I can.
Hitori Togusa I know a lot of us are mad and want answers, but I'm glad we're working together. Get them after our friends are back.
no subject
I was going to ask you about something a while back but then I had to take care of some other things. when this is over, we should all get together and pool what we know.
no arguments here. people who don't even know about Retrospec are in danger, too. I can't just ignore that.
no subject
[Oh, you poor soul, you know Dante, don't you? Nope. We're not touching that for right now.]
Hitori Togusa I'd be glad to. Although I suppose some of what I know is outdated now, since we learned what the QR codes were for.
Hitori Togusa Maybe it's too much to hope that finding things forced their hand to reveal it early?
no subject
powers, right? I got one too.
maybe, maybe not! I haven't been making trouble as much as you'd think. just talking to ghosts.
they gave me the ability, so I might as well use it.
no subject
Hitori Togusa I got telekinesis, telepathy. Except that I got a memory that the person Retrospec is sending me memories of, they could do something similar to the telepathy. Talk to people without talking to them.
no subject
ugh.
that's technically two powers! did you have them before everything went crazy? I started seeing ghosts in May -- just wandered into the woods and there they were.
no subject
Hitori Togusa But the person Retrospec is showing you. Could he talk to ghosts, too? Or see them?
no subject
he could-- but they weren't ghosts exactly, though they often get called that. I think I was raised by them actually? basically, it was a whole village of elemental spirits. my best friend here and in my memories was one of them, too.
ghosts and seraphim aren't the same thing, but maybe it's a similar kind of energy. or maybe the ghosts here aren't really ghosts but something else. I can't rule anything out.
no subject
Hitori Togusa Seraphim. Angels?
Hitori Togusa All the old stories from home talked about spirits. The ancestors walking the path with us, or the spirit of the land remembering the past when the people have forgotten.
no subject
a gun is way more effective than a sword as much as I hate to admit it.
they're not angels, but they're revered and worshiped by people who want their blessings. like kami, or the ancestors, like you said. they're born of nature and elements so they're the spirits of the land too.
no subject
Hitori Togusa But I guess I have to ask what you teach, now?
Hitori Togusa Okay, that makes a lot of sense, much more familiar concept. Showing honor to the spirits can't ever steer you wrong. Some people call it superstitious, but paying that extra respect to the spirit, the ghost in everything? It helps.

I'm the history student teacher at the high school, mostly grades 10-12. I did it all last year instead of an internship credit and I really liked it, so I'm doing it again for last year of college.
I've always thought that way too. even though I was born here, my mom and grandpa taught me about honoring the spirits. I never really thought about it too hard until I started seeing them though.
it's one thing pray to them. it's another to interact with them and see how they feel about being worshiped firsthand.
and... all the other stuff you do with friends.
seraphim are people just like we are.
no subject
Hitori Togusa So, how do they feel about it, then? I always thought that the spirits appreciated being remembered, it was needed to keep them walking in this world.
no subject
but...
even with what's at stake, some still choose to help humans and live alongside them.
I can't tell you how they feel about it. I think it depends on who you talk to.
