TEXT ♞ INFO SHARING

[tarotcards]

Hey everyone, Souji (in blue) and Dave (in red) here. I know that some of us don't want to remember the events of last month, especially not so soon, but it's important for us to share what we found or did while it's still fresh in our minds. So, this is a general discussion post for everything that happened in August.

to that end theres gonna be an in person meeting later on possibly with refreshments
were not above bribery here even if i am personally above fancy capital letters
but info that maybe shouldnt wait for then is that team space jam found a dead dude who had a thing that said according to a sphinx
the recolle project is a thing that is like reconstruction rather than reincarnation bringing back stuff thats ours

Essentially, the Recollé Project outlines this stuff as memories, items, and abilities. Rather than regaining things from a past life like reincarnation as Dave said, it's more like regaining things that were buried - to bring them forth to us.

There wasn't much else in the report asides from a map of the city, but the sphinx (it’s a long story but it appeared to have knowledge about the project) confirmed that this was true.

so anyway bring yourselves and possibly snacks to the sandiego foundation on saturday
we will try to make sure at least one person from every team from last months little whatever is around
newbies and oldbies should both come to revel in the glory of information
and like seasonally themed snacks maybe we will have pumpkin pie because i want some
last but not least and speaking of newbies theres one more thing to go over here

It's clear that Retrospec is going to continue adding new users to their app so Dave and I thought it was best that we created a guide to Retrospec for all the future newcomers (and old users too). We're going to type something up really soon but we wanted to ask what you'd like to see in the guide. Frequently asked questions answered, what we know so far about the Retrospec team, how to change your font into a really cool colour like ours, stuff like that.

nearly as cool anyway
you have to do some serious training and animal spirit sensing to get a color as cool as this
but yeah talk at you all later
or like soonish when you reply

( ooc: this is an ic discussion and info gathering post that is open to everyone, so feel free to jump into other threads and whatnot! this takes place alongside the in-person ic info gathering post which can be found here )

Nothing is absolute. It is merely one possibility of many. Don't latch onto it just yet.

[How in the world has he lucked out enough to have both Togusa and Ardyn on his side? The both of them together give him something to hold onto.]

what makes you say that? this is the first explanation we've gotten for ANY of this stuff

retrospec isn't giving us any answers

[daemonized]

It may be the first explanation, but who is to say that we can trust all the information in front of us? It may be unreliable, it may not be whole. It might even be something that isn't worth trusting. Who is to say, until all the pieces fall into place?

Still, whatever the answer is, who I am now is not something I can discard so easily. And neither should you.

[...he'd forgotten that conversation, truth be told. It comes back to him now, everything Ardyn had told him after the last time he'd run away. (He's tempted now, but he won't; he knows that he'd worry too many people if he packed up and ran off now)]

you told me that before too

[Calm down, Dante, and breathe.]

i'm a little more willing to trust this information than you are though

if it's anything like what we found it's hard to argue

[daemonized]

Perhaps that's the case. But even in the worst case scenario, if we /are/ these people, by default... we also cannot be. We've another lifetime of experiences to pile onto the old. To smother it, if need be.

For now, I don't want you to dwell on it for too long. It is still, technically, all hypotheticals, and not something we can reconcile in one day.

[darkinferno]

those experiences can lead to the same kind of person in the end

[It's what he's most afraid of.]

yeah, you're right

we'll have to find out more

[daemonized]

Or they may lead to a different one. Do not forget that as a possibility, either.

[darkinferno]

i won't

["but have i ever been an optimist since you've known me prof" is the addition he deletes from that line.]
