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.

I don't know if the cat ears were exactly "real." I still had my normal ears and everything -- I have so much hair though that they're normally hidden underneath anyways. XD

Still, I could make them wiggle a little when I tried. They were honestly really cute, and I wouldn't even mind getting them back for a little bit. ( •⌄• ू )✧

Ah! But you were also chased by strange monsters! I'm so sorry Makoto-san! ヾ(´囗｀｡)ﾉ

[amodelidol]

That's pretty interesting that you had your ears along with the cat ears.

it makes me wonder what would have happened if I used the app too

it's okay yumeko-chan! i got help getting away so I'm fine! :D

[gamblingaddict]

It sounds like we both were lucky then to receive help getting away from those monsters. I'm glad you made it out alright! ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ

From what I saw, there were a few choices for filters that could be used. In fact, now that you mention it, I do recall running into some people with flower crowns, and one girl who had dog ears and a nose. (・_・ヾ

Ah, my apologies for the confusion. I'm very new to all this. I only just discovered this Retrospec app on my phone a few days ago. Oddly enough though, there were actually a few days where I completely forgot about it. I sort of re-noticed it again today and finally decided to give it a try.

[truedetective]

Ah. You must be one of the newly awakened, then.
Congratulations on your newfound awareness, and also my condolences.

[gamblingaddict]

Hehe, yes, that seems to be the common sentiment going around. A welcome and an apology.

Honestly, short of being chased by monsters a few weeks ago, this hasn't been so bad. Though, I'm certain that's purely my inexperience talking.

[truedetective]

Well, the monsters have been some of the most actively worst of it.
The rest is just making you doubt your memory and your perception of the world around you.
But at least it isn't trying to kill you.

[gamblingaddict]

Those are such terrifying topics to be discussing, yet everyone sounds so blasé about it.

Has this Retrospec app really caused so much trouble? :(

[truedetective]

The app? No. The app itself is benign as far as we can tell.
The company running it, or whoever is controlling the strange events in this world?
Less so.

[gamblingaddict]

I see... but then, if they're the ones responsible for all the oddities that have been happening, why give us the app? Do they want us to be able to communicate and work together to stop these strange events? Or is it something more simple? For monitoring purposes for example.

Hmm, I guess I'll have to be more careful the next time I go grocery shopping then?

[She's not sure how she feels about the idea of eating singing fruit.]

If all of this is real, then how come everyone else seems not to see or want to talk about any of it?

[burningblossoms]

Simply because they lack the app.

This app, as insane as it sounds, alters how you see reality.
It wakes you up, like I said. You see what's wrong now.
Those people, whoever they are? Don't have it so they don't think it's wrong.

[gamblingaddict]

So this app makes us special. It allows us to see and experience things that others cannot. But how do they choose its recipients?

[burningblossoms]

Seemingly at random!

[gamblingaddict]

Well that's rather disappointing. 「(°ヘ°)

I was rather hoping for a more exciting explanation. Something you'd see in the movies, like... we all experienced the same tragic event years ago, and now we're mysteriously all coming back together again in this city. ╰(✧∇✧╰)

[burningblossoms]

Oh, it may be something like that at the core, it just seems random.

We just haven't discerned a pattern, and there are definitely people trying to note that.

[gamblingaddict]

Hmmmm... well, pattern or no, I suppose it doesn't matter too much now. We're all in this together so to speak. Meaning we'd probably be better served focusing on what is ahead of us instead of what's behind.

For example, these "residual effects" sound rather ominous... (^～^;)ゞ

Ah, you noticed it as well! For the last few days, it was like I'd completely forgotten this app even was installed on my phone. It also felt like I wasn't as aware of the state of things in the city. If that makes sense?

Yet today, after noticing the app on my phone again, it's just like back around the time we first ran into each other. There's all this strange stuff going on, and apparently we're only now finding out about it.

It's a lot to deal with all of a sudden. (,,꒪꒫꒪,,)

[keystaff]

I was the same. I'm not sure why we forgot for a bit on having this app and all though. But maybe now we're here again, we'll remember. I'm not sure I like the idea of forgetting.

It is though. A lot. But I'm sure between all of us, helping each other, we'll be okay!

[gamblingaddict]

I don't like the idea of forgetting either. As scary and new as this all may be... the idea that my memories could be so easily altered is even more troubling. (っ- ‸ – ς)

Yes! If only those of us with this app are able to recognize what's going, then we should definitely stick together and help one another. I couldn't agree more, Kinomoto-chan.
(*^▽^*)

[keystaff]

It is. I mean, I know when people get older their memories aren't as good but I never thought I'd forget like this when I'm only thirteen still. But this app must be powerful to do that.

I mean. I'm not sure how much I can help, but. If we're going to figure this out and all, we have to work together. To help each other.

[gamblingaddict]

You should give yourself a little more credit. It's just as you say, we'll all get through this together if we act as a team and support one another. I'm sure you'll be just as helpful as anyone else using the app, Sakura-chan. <3

Ah! Pardon my forwardness. (;A;)

Is it alright if I call you Sakura-chan though?

[keystaff]

I hope so. Now that I have it and remember, now I know about it.

But ah, it's alright. I've gotten more used to most people using my first name since I moved here by now.

[gamblingaddict]

Hehe, I know what you mean. It does take a little getting used to doesn't it? A bit of a culture shock, but I like it. ^u^

As long as it doesn't make you uncomfortable, you are free to call me "Yumeko" in exchange. :)
