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 )

as far as we know it's just another theory, not a given
sounds kind of crazy if you ask me
there's too much that doesn't make sense
notyourutopian: (Determined)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-09-06 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Completely crazy, really.
I think people are just trying to find a way to make it make sense.
commandertoolbelt: (so let me get this straight)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2017-09-06 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
maybe but they're not doing a good job of it
like what exactly are they supposed to be reconstructing?
are they trying to make us into the people in those memories?
and what's supposed to happen to us if they somehow manage to do it
people aren't machines
we can't just be rewritten like that
mincingminuet: (Considering)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2017-09-06 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Leo is right on the money.

I don't know about you but I'm not made of code.
commandertoolbelt: (resigned)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2017-09-06 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
and even if we were, why would they bother going through all this when they could just rewrite the code and be done with it?
and why bother letting us know something’s happening at all
none of it makes sense on its own
we're still missing something
mincingminuet: (Trust)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2017-09-07 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
We're missing a lot.

Too much to freak out much over.
commandertoolbelt: (thinking too much)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2017-09-07 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
well i can't blame anyone for it though
if what they're doing is anything like what it sounds then it's pretty serious stuff
but we can't really judge until we know more
the problem is figuring out how to find out more
mincingminuet: (Pink?)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2017-09-07 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yep.

Time and waiting for opportunities I guess.
notyourutopian: (No that's stupid.)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-09-06 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
If you believe Naoto, we're programs.
But that's just as ridiculous as this.

I don't care what they're trying to do, I'm not going to become her.
None of us will.
Brains don't work like that.
commandertoolbelt: (you were saying)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2017-09-06 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ now is not the time to play devil’s advocate, leo, no matter if the computer program theory is still a possibility. ]

dr mahoney said retrospec is just supposed to play an observational role with what’s happening to us
take that with a grain of salt since that comes from retrospec but
i’m just saying el
maybe we do get weird memories and powers
maybe our bodies change
but they don’t get to decide who we are

besides if it were that easy to overwrite people, they’d have done it already and nobody would be freaking out right now
notyourutopian: (Frustrated)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-09-07 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
An observational role.
An observational role with what, exactly?
If they aren't causing all these things, what is?

Ugh.
commandertoolbelt: (stop talking already)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2017-09-09 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
she didn’t say
all the did was direct us to where we needed to go to get what they needed to help and no more
they were too vague to be helpful so we didn’t get much else out of them
notyourutopian: (Frustrated)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-09-10 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
So they're watching something do something to us.
But they didn't tell you who
Or why
Or how

I don't care if they claim to be helping I'm starting to hate them more than I did before!
commandertoolbelt: (can we not risk our lives just one time)

[personal profile] commandertoolbelt 2017-09-12 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
well they helped us get you guys back and that’s the most important thing

i can’t say i blame you though
we got like ten more questions for every answer they gave us
it’s like they’re deliberately trying to drive us nuts
notyourutopian: (Stabbing 1)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-09-17 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I think we got ourselves back

See?
Exactly.
