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 Retrspec Incorporated 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.

.... So it seems.

Both Fai and Jirou ended up in the hospital this week so I hope it doesn't continue like that.

[sharplydressed]

[He talked to Jirou about that and tried to be REASONABLE and now he's banned from spa dates, what a tragedy.]

it probably will [At least he's honest...]
but if you're there to look out for those guys i'm sure they'll be fine

[toobigtohandle]

[You brought this upon yourself, Kashuu.]

I wish I could help more. Simply waiting until your hurt friends come home is not very productive. Or relaxing, really.

[sharplydressed]

[This is what he gets for being team babysitter...]

people could really use someone waiting for them once all the gross work is done though
you're probably helping more than you think
but also you could probably bring medicine and food and stuff to teams, some of them need a lot of help

[toobigtohandle]

I would try, but it seems that when one did not receive the instructions, one cannot find the location where the others were sent.

Or I'd have followed Jirou as soon as I could.

[sharplydressed]

yeah it's really inconvenient
not even we can cross into other locations that weren't assigned
probably because each one has its own "entrance exam" or something...

we can still leave our bases though and some people meet up in town to exchange supplies etc when they get breaks

[toobigtohandle]

... Entrance exam?

[wut.]

Well, that's what I've been doing with Fai and Jirou. Let me know if you need anything as well.

[sharplydressed]

yeah it was like
a series of tests we had to do that all retrospec employees have to i guess?
since we're temp employees rn basically

[THEY BECAME THE PEOPLE HE WANTS TO PUNCH IN THE FACE ON THE DAILY. Tragic.]

but thanks a bunch seriously
i'll give you a heads up if we catch wind of anything that might help you guys out with the monster problem too

[toobigtohandle]

They messed up the whole thing and need your help to fight really dangerous things and they test
you before letting you do it?

[sharplydressed]

trust me i had the same complaint
but it sounds like it's not something they can turn off or w/e
anyone who accesses these areas has to do it so we went through as fast as possible to get started on the real work

also apparently this isn't their fault but ymmv for how much you want to trust them on that

[toobigtohandle]

Then whose fault is it? Everyone that has had strange things happen to them has had this weird app forced on them.

Do they believe we are stupid?

[sharplydressed]

afaik they haven't answered the "who is it" question yet
because they don't know
or because it's a total lie
one of the two

[toobigtohandle]

Well then. It appears that no one has any idea of what is going on.

[sharplydressed]

honestly?
yeah
it sucks
idk if i'd prefer them to actually not know things or just to be pretending because they still want to keep some things secret or whatever

[toobigtohandle]

And you'd think the only thing an app needs to keep secret is its algorithm and architecture. Not monsters and reality disappearing.

[sharplydressed]

sure was nice when we lived in a city where that kind of thing was reality huh

[toobigtohandle]

I remember the things Jirou used to tell me always seemed rather... fantastical. Now I think he was not actually telling me enough.

[sharplydressed]

i mean, at least he's not doing it on purpose

[Unlike this corner of idiot town, where any darting around information is done entirely intentionally...]

[toobigtohandle]

No, I guess not.

Stay safe out there.

[sharplydressed]

i will
you too ok?

[toobigtohandle]

I have nothing to do but sit in my apartment.
I'm pretty sure I'll be fine.

[And slowly eating at himself for being useless, but fine.]
