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 )

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.

well the elaboration is
i can time travel
and also fuck science

I can't believe I'm asking this.
But is "fuck science" simply an expletive

or is it also something you can do.

i mean im sure anyone if dedicated enough could fuck science

Maybe we should change the subject.

ok ok
what do you propose to change it to

Do you have a theory on why Retrospec is doing all this?
Why the need for constructed adventures like the kind we experienced? It was like we were in a story book or living video game.

What, do you think, is the point?

No explanation is too farfetched.

uh
i am pretty sure they kind of told us
or from what i gather
theyre saving souls or something
and unreality shit explains the rest

im not sure theres some deeper motive

"Unreality shit" doesn't put us in a carefully constructed adventure with defined goals and constant allusions to fairy tales. I don't buy that.

I think someone created that.

idk i dont think that unreality shit has to be unstructured

I understood "unreality" as a force of nature.
Not something that was created.

Were you sent on an adventure in summer?
It felt not just structured, but crafted.

dude there are patterns and shit in forces of nature
and from my understanding
its kind of like wonderland bullshit
it doesnt have to be complete chaos to be a thing natural

I suppose.

I find apparent references to pirate stories suspicious, but there is always that hypothesis of the monkeys and the typewriters.

Were you brought out of the city for that month?

yeah like we said up there i was in team space jam

Ah, yes, that's correct.
I just can't attribute something so specific to pure coincidence.
I think something was guiding those events-- crafting them. Something intelligent.
