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 )

Of course, it depends entirely on how truthful we believe them to be.
Scrubbing us of "corruption" isn't a very pleasant idea, though.
So yes. It is a thing.

idk i buy it though

It's the closest thing we have to an explanation yet.
There does have to be SOME reason why those who are awake return to being Sleepers.
For the moment, I see no harm in believing that to be as good a reason as any.

shrugs
maybe someone knows something more about it

Do you mean one of us?
Or someone from Retrospec?

someone on the network
someone may have asked about it or heard something
and we just havent heard that report yet?

Possible.
It might be worth looking into. You should contact Minako Arisato if you'd like to learn more.
She can probably explain it better than I can.

huh i might do
are you guys pals then

I suppose you could call us acquaintances.
We've established that our past selves are from the same world, at least.

oh one of those situations
how many people do you know from the past world

Personally? Four. You made this post with one of them.
Still, there are others who I haven't yet met in memories who seemed to share that world.

huh
four is actually one of the higher numbers ive heard tbqh
?

Possibly more from that universe, but four seems to be the maximum that I remember.
Yu Narukami. Souji Narukami. Yukiko Amagi. Yosuke Hanamura.

Albeit with one caveat about the twins: Only one of them.

maybe one of them lived somewhere else
?

Possible, but unlikely.
They both seem to recall living in a rural Japanese town called Inaba.
And both seem to recall me.

alt timelines
?

That's as close to an explanation I've been able to come up with as any.
It doesn't explain why they'd see themselves as different people.

the original divergence may have been very early on

Possible.
Do you deal with this type of thing often? You're surprisingly fluent in the language of alternate timelines.

time is kind of my Thing
capital letter necessary

That feels like there's a story behind it.
It would be an odd choice of phrasing for someone who enjoyed collecting timepieces.

i do time travel

The literal kind, or the "forwards into the future at precisely the rate of one second per second" kind?

literal kind

I'm afraid I'm going to need some significant elaboration on that.

Nothing I've seen from science says that time travel should be possible.
