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's hard to say. It could possibly be either one.

Professor, is it okay if I ask for your opinion on something? Privately?

[originallutece]

Of course. I'm in my office, if you'd like to do it in person.

[tarotcards]

It's all right. I don't want to bother you too much but thank you for the offer.

To keep this short: my twin, Yu, and I share the exact same memories and abilities. In these memories, there is only one of us and there is no indication that we have a twin. We've originally theorized that we were reincarnated from the same person as that was the only explanation for everything that we've shared, but this report clearly states that it's not. Based on this information, do you believe that we're being reconstructed from the same person or does this mean something else?

[There's a pause.]

Understand that what I'm about to say is in no way the truth. I have no evidence, and frankly, I'm working off brand new information. My theories may be entirely incorrect.

[But.]

Given that information . . . I believe that perhaps you may be the same person from two /very similar/ universes.

[tarotcards]

[ If only Ros could know right now how correct she is about her theory... because that's literally how it is for the twins, except that Yu fucked up everything and never caught the murderer and doomed everyone to the fog so ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ ]

You mean like a multiverse theory?

[originallutece]

[IT'S FINE]

Precisely so. Universes can be vastly similar to one another-- the only difference between you two might be your name.

[tarotcards]

Can it really be as simple as that? Just the difference in our names?

[originallutece]

The multiverse theory states that for every choice, every single differing decision, a new multi-verse is born. It's even simpler than that: according to the theory, the difference can boil down to something so simple as a chromosome.

There may just be a female Souji and Yu wandering around out there.

So yes: all it really would take would be a different choice from your father or mother.

[tarotcards]

I see. Then that makes sense. I'll have to talk to Yu to see what he thinks but...

Thank you, professor, or listening and offering your thoughts. I truly appreciate it.

[originallutece]

You're always free to ask, you know. Both of you.

[tarotcards]

I know and thank you. You are truly a great amount of help, professor. I don't know how to express my gratitude enough.

If you'd like, I have gotten a new Persona, if you'd like to study it.

[originallutece]

I'd like that very much, actually. Does it have a name?

[tarotcards]

I'm sure it does but I don't know what it is right now. I've only found out Mada's and Kohryu's from my memories so it'd probably come to me eventually.

I haven't even summoned it yet, so I don't know what sort of skills it possesses. I wanted you and my brother to know first.

[originallutece]

Do you want company the first time you summon it?

[tarotcards]

Thank you for the offer, but I'll be with Yu for the first time. I still would rather not accidentally harm you should anything happen the first time.

But if you would like to come the next time, I would appreciate it.

[originallutece]

I look forward to it. Do keep me updated on what happens-- even if I can't see it right away, now I'm particularly curious.

[tarotcards]

Of course. I'll write it even in a science report format for you, with a hypothesis and everything.
