Lingering Worries

Hitori Togusa
10/2 near Recolle Police Station
I've got a question, and I don't mean for it to scare people, because what I'm really looking for is proof that I'm wrong.
If these other people, the ones Retrospec is giving us the memories of? Retrospec is also slowly giving us their bodies. A piece at a time, it seems.
What if they were sick? Is it slowly going to happen to us, too?
How can we help each other out if it does start happening?

So that I'm not wasting everybody's time with this, though. I've been asking about Dr. James Halliday, a memory researcher a bunch of us came across the name of in August. Despite the fact that Retrospec seems to have been interested in his work, I don't think they're using it.
It specialized in deep-brain stimulation, but I personally had a check done to see if there were any changes to my brain from being on the app for eight months now, and there's nothing.
Just so we can rule that one out.

[That finally gets a laugh out of Togusa on his end.]

Fair. That's fair, then. And, yeah, Retrospec. It's not a problem for me, but it's something that's starting to come up with a lot of people!

...Maybe make sure our messages consistently get to the right people, too but then! Add some functionality!

wait was it doing that again too?
I missed out, but it's not even the first time.

Last month, yeah.
But it might have gotten a friend of mine at least two dates out of the process, so, small victories?

sounds almost like they were inspired by the random hookups from February.

[Togusa is just going to blush a lot and look down on his end, because February worked out exceptionally well for him and then not well and now he's in the position that he's in now, being friends with a woman that he remembers dating but she doesn't. Which is still nice, but he still gets quickly embarrassed about it.]

Well. That whole thing was just really nice of the Twins to do for us.

Did you give it a shot?

you know what else is nice?
permission to set people up.
especially with strangers.

but hey I've been pranked harder so it wasn't all too bad.

Oh no, what? I knew a few people ended up on there by accident, or someone else signed them up. You were one of them? I'm sorry.

yeah and I think it was the same for the other guy.
like I said, not a big deal. especially since they didn't make it a habit.

I really encouraged them, though, because it worked out great for me. Should I add in a clause about 'please be more careful about who gets signed up?' Or verify your signups or something.

if you want?
I mean I don't care that much to be honest.
if it happens again I can always just ignore it.
long as people aren't actually being threatened into going along with it.
then I'll be the one strong-arming someone. literally.

Follow-up emails it is! If they mess it up again, I can't be responsible for them, but have mercy on the Twins' stupidity!

heh. be my guest.
I don't see any good chances to set something like that up anyway.
Halloween isn't exactly a couple kinda event.
Thanksgiving or Christmas either.
New Years... more likely. though drinking makes that easy anyway.

I imagine the Twins are going to be busy for Christmas.

...Okay, imagining the Izunia Family Christmas, I need to stop that.

But New Years, you say...

haha yeah a lot of people like to use the NYE kiss as an excuse for drunk, sloppy makeouts
or to get slapped
50/50 on if it works in my experience

Better record than some other people I know.
Always good for that 'kiss of deniability' to test the waters with someone you're figuring out if you like, too.

vodka is distilled deniability if you ask me

anyway what the hell were we talking about again?

Uh. The Twins are a bad influence. Retrospec sucks. Right! The possibility of Retrospec making people sick, too, not just swapping around body parts.

....Can we go back to making up crap about the Retrospec Employees' love lives?

ugh, no thanks. after that whole proposal mess I'd rather not think about them actually forming meaningful relationships. makes it harder to threaten them when they inevitably fuck up.

[ hard to tell from the tone if Yin is being facetious or serious. ]

I keep waffling on it, you know? It's hard not to feel sorry for them when I take a look at everything they're giving up, the lengths that they seem to have to go to for whatever it is they're after.'

But then they send a teenager a gun, and I remember why I'm so pissed at them.

I know what you mean. all the times they fucked around with me personally isn't made up for with sending me a dog in the mail, but it's a start.

Oh YOU got the dog! I was starting to think that was just a rumor.

What kind of dog?

LMAO someone actually started a rumor about it? that's hilarious. I mean I know Minako got a dog too but I don't think he came in a shipping tube.

Zwei is gonna be internet famous soon. he's smart enough for it.

oh and he's a corgi.

[ attachment.jpg ]

Oh no, he's so cute! Why would they put him in a shipping tube? What a tiny! How old is he?

Daisuke's a rescue pup. Or, Daidai, as Prompto calls him. Daidai

I dunno. he's bigger than a tube and there were no air holes or anything but he just sort of... flopped out and fluffed up. kind of like when you split open a tube of dough for biscuits or cinnamon buns.

Daisuke's adorable, too! nice 'stache for sure.

[Togusa is making the most distressed but 'oh no that's cute' noises over here.]

Poor pup! He doesn't look like he minded, though.

Daisuke, I didn't even know what I was really going to the shelter for, but he just came up and gave me that dog look like "Okay, we're going home now, right?"
