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.

I've been wondering if all the talk about reality and worlds meant there is some type of multi-verse. But if Retrospec wants to restore worlds like Joanne's talk implies why would they grab souls to do it? Why not use a copy of the planet from a different dimension to get the information they would theoretically need to create it? I'm left with concerns that they trapped souls instead of letting them go to where they were meant to.

Sorry. That was more than I meant to say. I don't expect anyone except Retrospec to know the answer.

something like that.

[Let's not talk about how fucked up Homestuck is.]

all of that happened right before i got here. some people went to a jungle or space or this haunted mansion and...a pirate ship i think? i heard about it all in the aftermath. it was weird because there were still monsters and stuff around, too, but i only noticed for a day. then i forgot for a little while until i got the app.

You could say that. But I also remembered they have special powers that can use to fight each other.

And yes. We're trying to do everything to help out each other to not only brief newcomers like you, but also connect the strange phenomenon happening in the city.
windeity: (EMBARRASSED ♫ yeah about that?)

[personal profile] windeity 2017-11-02 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
uh. no, not really. sorry?
dandyofawolf: (Weeeeeell...)

[personal profile] dandyofawolf 2017-11-02 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
Mainly because I have to casually remind you that you are my boss and that is harassment.

But it's still kinky. Bravo.
dandyofawolf: (Seriously?)

[personal profile] dandyofawolf 2017-11-02 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
So everything was fine and then the app arrived. That sounds like the plot of a show or something.
lostapprentice: (b: just kill me instead)

[personal profile] lostapprentice 2017-11-02 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
i could certainly go for a drink. though that applied to the entirety of last month as well, and two months before that, so i doubt it's going to change.

i'm not religious, but i can at least say there's nothing holy or sacred about any of what they're doing.
robitussin: (if they love each other)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-11-02 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
yeah it sounded trippy as fuck, fingers crossed it doesn’t happen again, i’m not feeling the whole monster slaying vibe.

yes, has he been spreading his apple juice blasphemy to others?
kagepuro: Hey. I made this. (18)

[personal profile] kagepuro 2017-11-02 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
i dont mean romantic in that sense, neccesarily

but i guess it can be taken that way too?

Like the stuff about the sky and the sea and the yelling and the new normal and stuff
its really sweet and poetic

You're a poet and you didn't even know it
blessmefather: (sometimes)

[personal profile] blessmefather 2017-11-02 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
How about the fact the sky should be blue instead of grey?
lingeringwill: (Thinking)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-11-02 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
actually blades and swords are completely different and not synonymous at all
Well
All swords are blades but not all blades are swords
Is what I'm trying to say

I'm sure yours will be massive especially considering by the look of your profile picture, you are definitely taller than I am.

That's why i went back on the time travel thing its stupid and doesn't make any sense. Moving really fast makes way more sense.

So are you in like high school still or whatever
windeity: (THINKING ♫ thoughts)

[personal profile] windeity 2017-11-02 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
and then everything changed when the app attacked.
if this were a show, i would be curious to know our ratings by now.
supposedly they are actually watching us though.
orderslove: (oh...um)

[personal profile] orderslove 2017-11-02 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
so they can just change us and send us strange things...that is kind of scary.

keystaff: (Quiet)

WE SAW NOTHING.

[personal profile] keystaff 2017-11-02 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
Your liver? But it's not, right? You're really alright?

I'm still finding it strange with the colours. But um. I got this staff, or, mostly I've just worn it as a necklace because it's kind of big and I'm not sure what to do with it yet. Other than that there was this other memory, but. I'm not sure that's 'interesting' so much as it's confusing.
And kind of creepy?
lingeringwill: (Looking off)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-11-02 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
ahaha, I'm okay Sakura, i promise. In fact, the nerve damage in my arms has gotten a lot better, so I'm actually healthier than I've been since you've known me

your staff turns into a necklace? That's pretty rad, at least.
I've had a hell of a lot of creepy memories, so feel free to share, if you're comfortable with that.

[personal profile] dejerate 2017-11-02 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
Pets with powers? This app really is weird. Or,
your other self had a weird home or whatever. What kinda powers?

But from what I gather this has been going on for months already, right? So it's taking a while from the sounds of it.

apparently my sword vs blade knowledge is not up to par and for that i apologize deeply

yes. very tall. so tall. if i were a candy bar, i would be king size, and not fun size.

yea im a senior, i just moved here for this school year
im guessing you're probably in college or something
windeity: (Default)

[personal profile] windeity 2017-11-02 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
good thing you missed everything that went on last month then.

and yeah, sort of. dave is just like that.
windeity: (CHINHANDS ♫ yeah okay)

[personal profile] windeity 2017-11-02 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
oh, that.
haha i do not know if it counts as being a poet when it is just...being genuine, i guess.
i don't see the point in not saying most of the things you think. that's all.
keystaff: (It's the only way)

[personal profile] keystaff 2017-11-02 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
Your arms? Wait, what happened to your arms?!

It's um. Well, It looked like my mum. Except what she was doing in the memory, in the fog...that wasn't her.
lingeringwill: (*armfold*)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-11-02 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
you'll get with it the more magical blades you come into contact with, I'm telling you its a thing
Why is small fun size anyway
Is being small more fun? Wouldn't the more appealing option be the one that involves more candy? Just thinking out loud here.

I've probably got a good five years on you, yeah. Hella old and wise and experienced.
Welcome to recolle then, I've lived here my whole life so i know this place like the palm of my hand

See, now I just want to find out what the NC-17 sermon consists of. Is it just a lot of smiting, or is it the begeting?

Yeah, I'm sure all bars want my business of sparkling water. Bet they make a lot of money from it.
bozhemoi: ((natalie) actually sixteen)

I got injured pretty badly back in august. Damaged a bunch of nerves in my arms so sometimes i get numbness in my hands & arms, but its no big

The fog...Yeah, I had a run in with the fog, too. That definitely wasn't your mom, but it must not have been easy on you either way. Are you okay?
