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 )

I'd think that both demographics would be fairly common in large cities, but I do find it interesting that these would be the pool that Retrospec would pull from so frequently.

recolle's no small city. i'd expect more born-and-raised types.
people moving here from elsewhere in the states isn't surprising. still kinda baffled by the lot of us from overseas.

think it skews younger, too. don't know much about age demographics though.

I can tell you anecdotally I can count the number of people I've met older than me (40) on this app on one hand.

Maybe I'm just unlucky.
belligerentwarrior: (How's this make us lucky?)

out of how many you've met? if you've had to guess

What, people on the app total?

A hundred-ish? At least three dozen in person, at least? I've seen more names around.

Yes and no, regarding those who were born and raised here - larger cities like this one tend to have that sort of draw to them when it comes to people coming in from elsewhere. I'm technically one of them, from both overseas and somewhere else in the country - I was brought here well after spending several years elsewhere Stateside.

I likewise wouldn't know about the age demographic, however. Though it's worth looking into eventually.

People that have moved here recently or when they were young? My family moved to the suburbs when I was five, but I moved to the city proper when I attended Recolle University. Depending on how they want to conduct this experiment of theirs, they would probably want a group of born-and-raised residents and those that are still relatively new, for comparison.

Personally, I moved here when I was eight or so, and haven't left since. I haven't had any reason to leave since my arrival, granted.
