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.

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.

Right! That! I just got this ability, what Retrospec slapped on to me, and it keeps going off every time I get too angry. I can finally start to figure out what everybody else is going through.

This was too deliberate and targeted, I can't just sweep it under the rug with that viewpoint, but I'd be willing to listen if it turned out there was a part of their abilities they couldn't control.

Thus. Yeah. Why it would be dumb to go after everyone.

At least I'm lucky to not have powers. Just some really good memories on how to react when attacked. They aren't much, so there's not going to be a power trip for me.

Unless they knew of each other before. Do you know who actually caused it at all?

I wasn't one of the officers on it. I might have a chance if I talk to Matsuoka. Because I also got in trouble when I tried to find the paperwork on it.

But it's hard to go up to a superior officer with "Hey, Detective, remember that guy you watched get his hands chopped off and barely saved the life of? Let's talk about THAT a whole lot."

Yeah, that isn't going to win you any cookie points with them.

It really bugs you that much, huh?

Yeah.

The incident. It made one of the guys in the Department decide that this was all some kind of arms race. That if we're going to keep doing our jobs, protecting people, then we need to play the game, see what Retrospec has for us. It's a gamble, that he hopes there are some kind of powers waiting for him so that he'll be able to do his job better. And stop the people who are getting armed by Retrospec who go off the deep end.

I'm angry that he has a point. And I'm angry that it's going to take him losing his own sense of self to fulfill it.

Would it be too much to assume that this person might actually be assimilated into the hallucinomemories more then the rest of us? Because if his other was the kind of person who believes in arming up and racing to see what powers they will get, talking to them might not stop them at all.

There is a point there, but the problem is not letting the point cloud the rest of your judgement in the process.

Hell. If that's true, we are fucked.

We meaning the cops, that is. The rest of you might not notice a difference. That's the gamble that we're taking. These other memories Retrospec is shoving at us, those other people, we've got no guarantee that they were on this side of the law.

Things are only going to get worse if we start going rogue, too.

Depends on how the rest of us can fight him off tbh.

I doubt mine was on the side of law. He's too cold for it.

Again, you might not be alone in how to handle things if they get that bad. Some of us might actually turn out to be the kind that fights corruption while wearing capes or something, and using a position of power that way would be corruption, right?

Except that the comic book crap is completely illegal in the real world?

Hell, that's about to start up soon, too, isn't it? It would all depend on who's dumb enough to run around in a mask and funny outfit.

Remind me to go yell at a teenager. No reason.
