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 believe your sanity is not in question, although what IS in question is how much truth can be put in what you've stated.

How does taking people from different worlds even work?

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2017-11-02 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really.
I'll be out on a farm the whole weekend.
The only place to sneak out to is with the cows.
...I do like cows though.


[Elliot no.]

And I reaaaally hope there won't be any monsters this month.
Or, ever.

That may be perfect, actually, as long as I still have enough time and space to practice music...

Allow me to take a day or two to gain stock of myself, but I believe this is a tentative yes.

I just remember going to a military school.
I don't know if it was important or not though.

you log in using the account belonging to Gracie. on the world already on the screen there is a miqo'te character but the others seem to be open to character creation

It's not about you being interesting enough to write about!
It's about respecting your material!

It's all morning work, so you should be fine. And there's definitely space to practice.

Just let me know so I can send you the info.

That does make me feel better about it. Thank you, Cloud!

I don't know why I was marrying him. It makes me shudder to think about it too much.
I would like to know why? But otherwise, I want nothing to do with that man. (._+ )☆\(-.-メ) He was very vulgar!

I have heard some people get weird magical powers back, but I haven't gotten back anything of the sort. So...I really don't know what to think.

Did I tell you about the little girls?

right, still not very reassuring

not that any of these posts ever are
so what, we're "saved" souls from destroyed worlds now?

But they aren't really your family though, anyway.
I mean.
They're the...other you.
Past you.

ok see that makes things sound even worse.
i mean. not that i have ever really been to a farm but i get your point.
i have never met a cow personally but i am sure they would make for ok company.

ever would be nice. i had enough monsters to deal with back in my old universe.

That's true! I don't think I'll be heading back home for Christmas though; it's far too much of a hassle to travel all the way back there!

you start to play LFXIV using Gracie's existing miqo'te character. you load up into a busy area but shortly after the chat begins moving an alarm goes off and the lighting of the room you are in goes red. a voice through the computer says "EXTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL BREACHED" and the game crashes and gets deleted automatically again. the computer prompts you for a security code to stop the alarm. through the left door you hear loud footsteps approaching

> exit left
> exit right
> inventory

I feel as though most people would be flattered to have a song written about them, Elliot. Perhaps you should shift your outlook.

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-11-02 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you don't have to figure it out today, at least.
Honestly
We can't really figure it out.
They keep giving us some information
But not enough to do anything with.
