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.

Well all mine did was disappear
when i was three
I don't even remember them

[storytelleroftime]

Well you've got me beat then.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Yeah beacuse 'parents abandoned me' is how i want to win a contest

[storytelleroftime]

I actually meant "yours stuck around longer than mine" but, details, I guess.

[chaoticwhimsy]

...
You were in the system?

[storytelleroftime]

Presumanly. Was too young to remember my time in it.

[Private]

Of course, a part of me wonders if it would've been better if I stayed in it...

[Private]

[chaoticwhimsy]

So you got adopted.

Nobody is better off in the system

[storytelleroftime]

...You're right. I guess, it's just the question is if a shitty family is better than no family. It's probably the former.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Don't look at me.
I've only done the no family thing

[storytelleroftime]

I'm not looking at you. Really this is mostly me just rambling to a captive audience instead of to myself.

Which is more pathetic, I don't really know.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Pouring your heart out to strangers on the internet.

Eh

It's sad but it gets you likes.

[storytelleroftime]

Indeed.

But the question is, how much of this is me overplaying things? How much of this is even me telling the truth?

Lying is far too easy.

[chaoticwhimsy]

It's the internet.
Everything is a lie.

But does anyone actually care if you're making it up?

[storytelleroftime]

Exactly. If a lie is indistinguishable from the truth then it's not really a lie, is it?

But you're right. I don't care if I lie or if you lie, I'm not morally uptight.

[chaoticwhimsy]

No it's still a lie.

But that's not what I meant.

I don't know you. I don't care if your story is true or not because it doesn't matter to me at all.

Because you're just words on my phone.

[storytelleroftime]

And you are to me.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Hahaha

Okay so

What do you think of all this?

[storytelleroftime]

Once we started getting into all the orphan stuff?

It's pretty edgy.

[chaoticwhimsy]

That's not what I meant!

This.

Crazy magic powers and losing colors and getting trapped on this app thing

[storytelleroftime]

...We don't know enough about it to draw conclusions. But, all we can really do is adapt to these circumstances as best we can and try and figure it all out.

[chaoticwhimsy]

But I didn't ask what you know.

I asked what you think.

[storytelleroftime]

...This is interesting, obviously. And that I want to see it out till it's natural conclusion.

Though, I feel like most people here would be keen on stopping Retrospec before that point.

[chaoticwhimsy]

It's natural conclusion, huh.

Wanna guess at what that is?

[storytelleroftime]

...No real clue. Maybe we'll disappear completely and become other people.

Maybe life will go back to normal.

No one knows at this point.

[chaoticwhimsy]

You mean from those memories people say they're getting.

You see any?
