Hello Users, Please be advised that the temporal-spatial storm has now passed. Temporary access levels have been revoked. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please also be advised that as the storm has passed, work has resumed on certain other issues. You have my sincere thanks for your assistance. Thank you, Janet Halloway Human Resources Retrspec Incorporated As of this post, the city has completely returned to normal; damage has been fixed, monsters are gone, and NPCs now believe that monsters are definitely not normal but don't seem to remember them having been a thing. Oops? All weapons and powers gained in their various locations / as QR codes are now gone, additionally. Group 1 locations can no longer be accessed. Retrospec NPCs will not be reachable past this point! As mentioned to various members of group one, the Director does not approve of Retrospec's team speaking with its users, so NPC interaction will drop back down to what it originally was at this time. Doing research for these people will also net zero results. City-based NPCs will now remember members of group two! They will simply be under the belief that group two members were on vacation/had a family emergency/etc. No consequences will come from them being away at their jobs or school or anything else! Furthermore: -Horses are now regarded as valid mythological creatures! So you get mildly less strange looks for talking about them. -Photographs and text, online and off, now have the color blue again! -Visual video media (online, in theaters, etc) now has the color green once again! This does not include text yet. -There has been a new list of karaoke songs added to the city of Recollé! These songs can now be found in karaoke bars and machines all across the city and even can be sold on CDs for your own karaoke parties. -The Crow's Nest now has locations across the world, including a brand new location right in the heart of Recollé! After August's plot wraps up, be sure to grab a bite to eat and say hi to Kenny Crow. -Finally, the ocean has been restored! It's still gray, however. Keep working together to buy back world changes. 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.

Yes. And judging by what I heard from Kashuu, perception might be more linked to our situation than we think.

[vendettastool]

So it's the more hallucinomemories we have, the better it is for the worlds the others come from thing?

[storytelleroftime]

...I don't know the specifics, I'd have to ask Kashuu for those. But, I don't think it was about the memories.

They are their own can of worms.

[vendettastool]

Aren't they always?

I'm too young and pretty for this mess.

[storytelleroftime]

Well, would you rather be unaware of all these changes?

[vendettastool]

You know what they say. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

[storytelleroftime]

Quite.

At least we get some cool superpowers out of the deal.

[vendettastool]

Some of us get powers, some don't. I guess we'll see if we all do in the end.

[storytelleroftime]

I mean... I had powers in my memories, so it seems likely. Well, it does in my case, at least.

Of course, that just makes me feel bad for the ones that don't have them.

[vendettastool]

If you got memories of it, then I guess you can get powers. If that's how the hallucinomemories work.

[storytelleroftime]

Yeah, that's what I've heard.

...This entire situation is really confusing though, to be honest.

[vendettastool]

It is. It'll probably continue to be confusing until we turn out to be our others and then we will probably be mad.

[storytelleroftime]

Exactly. At some point... the line between us and them will blur into non-existence.

And maybe that's what Retrospec wants.

[vendettastool]

How nice for them. I guess.

[storytelleroftime]

In the end, I guess all that proves is one thing...

Just how little control we have over our own lives and actions.

[vendettastool]

I don't like being a puppet for just anyone. I don't care about a destiny either.

[storytelleroftime]

It's not about destiny. It's more just... think of it this way. How much did we really choose to be the people we are today, and how much of it is shaped by our genes, our childhood, our memories? We don't choose any of that.

[vendettastool]

And yet we do choose where we go with what we grew up as. We can choose to either take an easy route to become what we were told we were going to be or become something else.

[storytelleroftime]

Exactly. And I was the one who took the hard road. It's far less glamorous than others make it out to be.
