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 )

It being so easy is what many are worried about. Many of us do not wish for it to come so naturally; to be resistant to it, I believe, is only natural.

The choice is yours, of course. But I'm not so willing.

[If that changes? What a terrifying thought. But they'll cross that bridge when they get there.]

Are you fine with the kind of person you were? Are?

[parodeity]

i was still me so i dont see an issue with it
anything i would "change" is unchangeable anyway

[ like, the dying and child abuse are his main issues and he already remembers them so????? CAN'T DO SHIT???? it's not like he can just go "ah yes i won't remember any of that happening to me".

he did try it didn't work ]

at this point acting like "me" before remembering would be a straight up lie
and one i sometimes play around with
but its not like being a contrary fuck and acting like none of my life mattered actually does me any good
its exhausting frankly

i dont really care what everyone else does with their own shit since its a personal thing
but i figure admitting its real might be the first step to making some big monumental change to your person
rather than pretending it isnt

[daemonized]

I wonder just how much of it /is/ unchangeable.

[He is not sure how much detail he wants to go into, especially on a prominent, public post like this, but he does want to get his point across.]

The actual events that took place, yes, those remain the same. For instance, I cannot change the fact that I did or said certain things. But I can look at them in a new light now, can I not?

But I can agree with you on this: it is exhausting. I cannot imagine what it must be like for you. How many memories have you gotten?

[parodeity]

depends
if youre wondering that its probably changeable
if were talking about what i was alluding to its seriously unchangeable
its not like theres going to be a hard and fast answer that fits every eventuality bro

some things no matter how you look at them
theyre just what they are

hundred plus

[daemonized]

If it's an in-between that we must settle on, some kind of compromise, we can see just how stubborn (or willing) I am to concede when we get there. I cannot change what happened, but I can change what I think about the events that took place.

But I digress before this starts going in circles.

[That's less an argument and more of an agreement.]

Are you exaggerating?

[Because. A hundred plus? Christ.]

[parodeity]

no

[ but he's well aware he's been the person who remembers the most whenever he talks to anyone else.

IT'S EXHAUSTING. ]

[daemonized]

Retrospec -- or whoever we're blaming now -- has been particularly unkind to you.

[It sounds, frankly, awful.]

[parodeity]

lmao its not their fault
this is par for my particular course

[daemonized]

What do you mean by that?

[parodeity]

it fits with my luck on either side
and its not like the weird app people decided what my life before this was gonna be
if they decided what it was on this side
they tried to be nice

[daemonized]

Take a look at some of these reactions, though. Do you really think they're doing us a favor?

[parodeity]

man the reactions are why i barely ever share my genuine opinions

[daemonized]

Forgive me then if it sounds like I'm discouraging yours. That's not my goal. Your perspective, even if it settles uncomfortably with most, is still valuable.

May I ask you something else?

[parodeity]

nah its fine
to both things
whats up

[daemonized]

In what ways have you changed since this all began? Not physically, but emotionally?

[And if that's too personal, well. Then he's sure he'll be told as much.]

[parodeity]

a few
one comes to mind
gimme a sec
