yo. looks like there's still some residual effects coming up, but they should be pretty harmless since the kid was in charge of redistribution. she says it should be "cool". just don't do some damn idiot thing about them and you should be fine. this is absolutely not in my job description but the intern's busy and half of r&d is still banned and hr is on honeymoon. so you'll just have to deal with the lack of fancy bullshit. anyway. good luck or whatever.

two things: 1.) what the fuck happened to my eyes and 2.) why are we getting messages from someone whose name is basically a rip on wendigo?

oh wait and 3.) anybody know what "redistribution" means? because that probably cannot be good.

see that is exactly my point. not as common as you think.

[stopbleeding]

still pretty common.

always at the same time? should i be adding this stuff to my calendar or what?

[burningblossoms]

I would say yes?

The 1st seems to be it. Every single month. Like clockwork.

items. i've heard about that but nobody's really specified what kind they are. and how can they even find us? addresses are a thing and i definitely did not give out my address to the app.

[seeker]

logical answer: if they can remotely download an app to our phones, they can obviously hijack said phones and trace us via gps
real answer: i have no idea. they left me a bow and arrow in the backseat of my car. some people get weapons, some get trinkets. others get abilities, skills.
physical changes.

yeah i am definitely not okay with that? black hair and gray eyes--i am not a black and white photo!
i wonder if wendy actually knows what he name sounds like...
but also i got that impression. has there been anything good to come from these things?

[livingdeadgirl]

technically youd be more of a black and white movie
unless you like to hold perfectly still for long periods of time

as for good things...
its probably cheesy to say this but
our new friendships, forged in the chalice of strife and absurdity
i cant think of any Retrospectre i actually regret meeting

i am not sure how i feel about calling you honorable caterpillar so i think i will stick with ms.
in that case, since it is a conundrum for us, what do you suggest we do about that? any bright ideas?

[grimdeity]

Whatever works best for you, Alice.
Hmm.
Well, I suppose we'll just have to slay the Red Queen and restore Wonderland to its natural order.

there are a lot of things that sound really crazy right now! i believe like most of them since i saw some myself but it is frankly hard to imagine given how much of it should not be possible.
rescuing someone from a flower and being saved from a monster sounds on the low-end of crazy though.

[eyestitch]

she's taller. imagine that, but a real badass type with a sword!

it's true... our weird little story is just circling around the toilet bowl of the rabbit hole! did you hear about the giant robot panther lion tiger thing?

so it's either stripping colors or providing people with unnatural ones. great. that is really weird and not even biologically possible, i think.
is red the weirdest color you have seen so far?

[sharplydressed]

yeah that's about what you can expect from retrospec tbh
"how is this possible???"
and everyone will shrug
anyway yeah i think so!
someone i know has these greeny gold eyes
red's almost normalish now bc so many of us have them

people keep talking about unreality and stuff but i have not heard much about teams.
they chose people to help them or what?
as long as people think "the kid" is not useless i think that is probably okay then.

[explodosafe]

Yeah. Long story short, a good chunk of the people here and about 90% of their workers got lost in time and space, so they had to get over themselves and ask who was left for help.

The teams were for easier organization, I think?

There were Brandywine, Cognac, Absinthe... Could be that they sorted the teams based on skills too, like ours had a lot of people who could fight and we ended up having to fight a lot. The ones who couldn't were good at riddles and we had a living first aid kit as well.

oh. sorry, i can see why that would seem really alarming then. it's just the color though. my eyes used to be blue, but now they are gray? someone else told me this happens to people with blue or green eyes, but sometimes eye color changes entirely.
i cannot figure out how they made that possible.

SNAKE

[From here!]

i'm not sure that is what i would call it, but more like a coloration issue.
as far as i can tell it is more like a city problem than an app problem.
since the sky is also no longer blue, and that is a bit depressing.

jinet does not quite have the same ring as brangelina but there's points for creativity.
who knows? maybe it will catch on if you repeat it enough. isn't that the point of social media?

LUCY

[From here!]

see the problem with that sentence is that i cannot tell if you're actually being serious or not, given everything else i have heard about this place.
did elephants really turn over a bus?
i feel like people should be more concerned about something like that.

ROXAS

[windeity]

[From here!]

that is also implying that ghosts in general aren't weird? but i would absolutely be okay being a ghostbuster, too, if that is what it takes.
i bet there are ghost hunters or whatever here if there are monsters.
maybe we should be asking for them before we ask for the hackers anyway.

SHOUTO

okay. point made. i will keep that in mind for whatever.

how do they even pick who gets this app? i feel like i would remember that, but at the same time i definitely remember absolutely nothing about this.

and they say that disco is dead.
i think i am more surprised that people went along with it. unless they were told they were getting superpowers beforehand or something.
i mean. i would probably do stupid stuff for superpowers too, but there is probably a line to draw.
probably.
