retrospec | TEXT ♞ INFO SHARING

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 )

So?
If I read a book about a character just like me, and learn all about their life,
I 'remember' all about them.
But I don't somehow become them.

el you and i both know the memories and reading about a book character arent the same thing
or
they never have been for me
maybe they are for you

i dont think its about becoming or not becoming

Okay fine.
But given what they're capable of, whomever did this.
Why would we think they can't just make us see things that never happened?

i mean those are the two options arent they
real or not real

Well.
I'm real.
So it's not really a debate is it.

i mean the memories

We are our memories, Dave.
They're what make us us.

yo what side of this discussion are you on

Mine.
Ugh

What I mean is our memories make us who we are.
Are we us, or are we these other people who's memories are getting stuffed into our heads?
They're trying to change us in the most invasive way they possibly can

idk i mean
i think mostly were remembering shit that was already there
?

Pretty sure my head wasn't already full of an undersea dypstopia full of crazy people with superpowers who wanted to kill me before

I mean.

Pretty sure.

i mean i think it was our shit
im pretty sure my shit was my shit

So what does that mean about the memories we have now?
Our real ones I mean

i think it means
that weve lived two lives

So we're back to the past life thing.
Which isn't any weirder than any other idea I suppose

i mean
thats what my guess has been for a while now

Yeah but that's different from us somehow being these other people

how

If I find out I was Cleopatra in another life

Does that make me her now?

el come on

No seriously
Isn't she the example people use all the time
'Oh I was Cleopatra in my past life'

if you were id call you queen i guess

Feel free to do that anyway

Point is, she's not actually Cleopatra, just some lady with her memories, assuming she isn't simply mad anyway
Seeing these things doesn't make us them
It just lets us see what they saw

i dont exactly agree

Well
That's

Fine.

I mean, we don't have to agree!
I hope
