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.

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.

[longwei2go]

vodka is distilled deniability if you ask me

anyway what the hell were we talking about again?

[standalonehuman]

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?

[longwei2go]

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.

[longwei2go]

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.

[standalonehuman]

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

What kind of dog?

[longwei2go]

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.

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

[longwei2go]

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.

[standalonehuman]

[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?"

[longwei2go]

I know the look. it was kind of hard going home after the last benefit without at least two or three pups, but you know how it is.
