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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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.

Under EXTREME duress, I assure you. But yes. They said they could get you all back, stop the monsters, just fix it all at once. We had to try to help.

[notyourutopian]

Why would they want to fix this?
Aren't they the ones causing all this insanity in the first place?

[standalonehuman]

The monsters weren't part of the plan. Whatever that 'storm' was, most of Retrospec, I can definitely say, didn't plan for it. Their technician, the one who knew how to fix it, she had no idea this was coming. Maurice, same thing, he got caught by surprise. Their tech, it seems to be set up specifically to try to keep these storms from happening. Or protect the city when they do.

I'd bet you anything Jim knew this was going to happen, though.

[notyourutopian]

Hm.
Protect the city from these storms.

What about everywhere else?

[standalonehuman]

Fuck. I actually don't know.

Maybe a better question, though. Nothing else got picked up with all of you. This storm, it only grabbed Retrospec users and employees to take to the swamp and the other places you all ended up.

[notyourutopian]

That's...
I don't know what that is.
Ridiculous?

I'm tired of everything being ridiculous.

[standalonehuman]

Why wouldn't anyone else have gotten caught up?

Argh. There is no way we're figuring this out from here.

I might come back and ask a few more questions, once I figure out what gaps we've got in the situation. Ah, we being the cops. Did you have any of us on your group? Kihara or Sakakura? Or, Shirogane? I know he got taken.

[notyourutopian]

Right.
Or any where else.

No, I don't believe any police were with us.
No one said, at least.
And you all love to tell everyone you're cops so...

[standalonehuman]

I know I'm tired if that made me laugh.

I guess I should ask if it's okay to share what you told me with the others, then? If we can put everyone's experiences in the same place, that would help, but I won't do it without permission.

[notyourutopian]

Sure why not
It's not like we gain anything by hording information right?

[standalonehuman]

[There is a significant gap before Togusa messages Eleanor again.]

I am afraid that I am going to need anything you can tell me about that haunted house or what was inside.

My other source of information is really. REALLY drunk right now.

[notyourutopian]

It...was haunted?
There were ghost kids. And stone dogs.
And angry busts.
And a giant spider.
I know some of the others read some books before the library attacked them.

I didn't really learn much.

[standalonehuman]

What happened with Toushiro? If you're okay with explaining. I only heard that one person didn't make it. But I've got somebody telling me Toushiro got killed. But I see him, he's posting right there on the app.

[notyourutopian]

I wasn't there when it happened, but he was turned into a ghost, yeah.

When we managed to beat the head ghost though he got better.

...Which is weird when I type it out.

[standalonehuman]

Okay, there's the step I was missing. Right. Because what else would happen in a haunted house?

I'm glad you were able to save him, then.

[notyourutopian]

Well, he just sort of...got better.
Dante had been draggign his body around.

[standalonehuman]

[JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, DANTE. When Togusa was talking about not carrying your friend's death with you, he didn't realize he has to be literal. File that under: Things Dante Probably Should Have Mentioned But Togusa Could Have Lived Forever Without Knowing. (That might sound really specific but that drawer is getting full.)]

Hell, Dante.

Got better. Okay. This is where I've got to stop trying to figure this one out.

I am damn sorry that none of us were there to help you. But I cant be grateful enough that he's okay.</fonth
