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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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.

The variety of battles I prefer to be a part of tend to involve wits, not fists.

Unfortunately, there weren't a lot of the former to be had, these past few weeks — and altogether far too many of the latter.

One is just as important as the other. I'm certain of this, given that I had to participate in both. My team was fortunate enough to be given an idea of what to expect. One poor group was sent into what can only be described as riddle hell.

But that's all in the past. Let's not linger on it. When we're more mentally able, we should share any new memories we've experienced. Those are always entertaining.

[doitrockapella]

I remembered having the same birthday as someone else. Exciting, isn't it?

[daemonized]

Who am I to judge whether or not this is exciting or not? There is, in fact, something very refreshing in the simplicity of it.

Whose birthday?

[doitrockapella]

I'm not sure. A young man in a leather jacket, standing in the rain — and we were the same, that way, but I haven't the slightest idea why that would be significant at all.

[daemonized]

One way or another, it must be important. There have been no instances in my experience where these memories are completely superfluous.

[doitrockapella]

It's strange. He's one of a handful of people I remember, but for some reason I...

Hm. It's as though I'm fond of him, but at the same time I'm not.

[daemonized]

That sort of relationship could be any number of things.

Family member, perhaps?

[doitrockapella]

Ugh.

[SHE RESPONDS, IMMEDIATELY, IMPULSIVELY, AND IN A MOMENT OF UTTER LACK OF FIGURATIVE BRAIN TO MOUTH (THUMBS?) FILTER.]

[daemonized]

[Well, that's a thing.]

No?

[doitrockapella]

...A family member with the same birthdate? That would imply that we were twins, wouldn't it?

[daemonized]

Well, is that so impossible? Twins /are/ known to happen on occasion.

[doitrockapella]

I've always been an only child. I'm not entirely sure what I would do with a twin. Would I have competed with him...?

...Maybe I did. Really the only impression I seem to keep coming away with is, whatever we were to each other, it was something complicated.

[daemonized]

Perhaps you did. It's difficult to say now, isn't it? Without the full story at our disposal, it could be your twin. Or it could be someone else completely unrelated.

Frustrating, isn't it? Not knowing all the clues that would unravel the mystery.

[doitrockapella]

Frustrating — and motivating. Now I just want to see the mystery solved all the more.

[daemonized]

And I have little choice but to agree with you there. Even if the end result may be less than pleasant.
