hey. first matter of business is that you won't be getting items in the mail any longer. i'll send you tickets if i get something and you can ignore it if you want or pick it up from the mailbox. it's your choice. if you ignore it whatever it is stays in storage. the original thought was that you would like your things back, but since that isn't always the case this seems like the easiest way to avoid problems.

i'll be upfront and say that you shouldn't try to put anything in the mailbox that doesn't go there. you can put in items registered in our system but anything else will trigger the failsafes. while these failsafes aren't lethal or anything, they're designed to be about as much of a pain as it would be for me to sort out that kind of thing. so that's your warning to maybe avoid triggering them?

please do not attempt to destroy the mailbox. it took me a while to set up. it's over by the building. you'll recognize it because it is blue. instructions on how to use it will come with any tickets i mail out. if you have an item you want stored which is in our systems, go over and put it in. if you want one unstored, it'll give it back. easy as pie. no one else can pull your stuff or store it; it's locked to specific users with specific items.

by the way, this isn't going to be working fully until the third. i'll be sending out tickets anyway though, so just keep tabs on them.

can't do anything about physical changes without knocking your souls out of alignment, which is technician work anyway, and also would kind of kill you. joanne will address that in a second.

Hello! Like Maurice said, the physical changes are a result of your souls being as they are! What the mind forgets, the soul remembers. As long as you're you, you will become more "you" physically. It's a little like an echo coming back? I'm trying to be understandable, but the actual explanation is way more technical, sorry! That said, the only way to "stop" that kind of thing would be to let your soul dissipate, which is possible but 1) would kill you! and 2) would definitely be a thing I don't want to do because of point 1 and 3) is entirely against the company directives anyway. Maurice doesn't think saying this will help much, but I don't see any reason to not! Well, actually what he said was that people always need a target and he doesn't mind us being one, but he's a gloomy dork so he doesn't get a say. My great-grandmother liked people who were honest, not people who sighed and didn't bother to say things!!

Also, I did try to explain unreality effects earlier when I spoke to some of you, but I don't think I was as clear as I could have been. At least, I'm not sure how to say things clearly and still be allowed to say them, but! There is something that causes unreality on the whole that I can't really say much about. But it was very connected to what destroyed all those poor worlds. We can't do much about that, but sometimes we can snag a few souls from those places, so we do, because we can. Not everyone liked that, you know, but what's the point of saving only yourself from the dark? Anyway, they had that argument way before I was ever born, but even if they'd had it when I was alive, this would definitely be my answer.

We do manage to stabilize things sometimes. I'm afraid I need to let you know that some of it we're going to have to let go. The changes might be a little confusing, but it shouldn't be dangerous. We're going to be moving some resources into better defenses against that kind of huge storm. Please don't worry too much if some things move around or shrink! It's a lot to maintain, you know?

I'm sorry that we can't be more exact. This month shouldn't be more than residual effects from what we're doing, though. So it won't be any uncontrolled unreality. Mostly! For the record, we don't really control what those effects are! I can't really address everyone but I know that came up a lot last time?

As of this post, clothing and personal items have now regained the color blue! This includes all items your character had in their AU plus any regains your character has obtained. However, this does not include physical features.

As a reminder, this month's freebie regain can be earned with one thread on this post with five consecutive comments from you with a new character. We define "new character" as any of the incoming new characters from the application round regardless of TDM tags or any in-game character who your character has not threaded with. Once you have those five comments you may turn in the regain request as usual with "November Freebie" as the explanation (and the thread link).

Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently.

What kind of fish and how freshly dead?

Not yet. The three left must be real stubborn, taking this long...

actually i would prefer it if the answer was nothing. maybe i'm just completely normal and nothing weird will appear.

it's never too early to veto someone, also maybe? what classes are you in

Obviously.
But there's something about it, then, that makes you reluctant to share.

Yes. I think that is what they are saying. If they did not snag our souls, we would be dead.

I hope not. But if I am, I better be a cute one!

As far as we were concerned, the city had always had something of a monster problem.

And then it all ended, and that was fine as well.

[holy shit]

soooo...basically Naoto didn't ask nicely or say please

I guess it does seem kind of suspicious....

Naoto is kind of like that sometimes, but he always means well!! He's also super smart and has helped me learn a lot about all of this retrospec business...I think you two would be able to have a lot of good intellectual conversations and stuff–stuff i cant really keep up with, at least. I'm glad i seem to attract such smart friends, though! It was kind of fun being your assistant when we were checking out that bunker

Oh he also saved my life so i promise you can trust him

akira said you were the one that patched me up and i was wondering if fruits were an okay thing to give as a thank you gift!

well because i heard some people are allergic to fruits, so... that would have been bad

No. I simply do not appreciate being ordered to do something.

Everyone who isn't on the app thinks everything that happens like that is normal.

precisely. after email was... texting, i suppose? instant messaging? even quicker and easier, especially if one wishes to spam those they consider friends with cute cat pictures.

I keep telling Father Karl that he needs to keep his sermons rated G or PG so younger people can attend. But I guess old habits are hard to break.

You could drink sparkling water from a fancy glass?

[personal profile] heroforall 2017-11-02 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. They don't even notice all the weird stuff happening. Or, if they do, they think it's normal.

We do! Because we're a good team! And because you're smart and resourceful.

[personal profile] evidentiary 2017-11-02 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
It's not "suspicious" and has nothing to do with trust. I simply do not appreciate being more or less ordered to do something by someone I don't know. I'm perfectly willing to share information, but I object to that sort of treatment.

Do not fret, Minato! I packed all of the essentials.

My guitar and my phone are simply the most important.

To be honest, I am hoping that my parents call me soon and tell me that they would like me back, but it seems that they are winning this game of chicken, so to speak.
