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.

Hey Juri!

Doesn't matter that we're minors they won't change the names.
Doesn't seem like laws really matter to them.

And it's more like
Texting but to a whole group I guess?
Like those old chat room things
maidofmistakes: Tense look. (That's when I knew)

[personal profile] maidofmistakes 2017-11-02 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
A couple hundred? That's a little scary. And all of them see what's really going on? Whatever that is.
thesettingsun: smile (while I've gone on my own way)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2017-11-02 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know about that, 'try not to have people die' is pretty high on my own list of priorities.

Have you ever tried to show Retrospec to someone who didn't have a connection?

They just thought it was a normal app, right?

I don't know how these regain things work

So, like... horses and green and stuff used to be real, right? Same with this memory stuff.

A couple hundred, and the rest of them don't believe in horses or think that the sky is supposed to be blue.
maidofmistakes: Scared. (And then you told your sister how)

Luna?? Whoa, I didn't know you were here! I mean, here here, but I also didn't know you were, uh, reincarnated with superpowers or whatever all this stuff is about.

Well that's depressing!
I'm preeeeeetty sure 'change' and 'rot' are way different, you know.

Yeah, they're pretty nice.
I mean I've never spent a long time with one.
But they always seem pretty mild mannered??

Yeah, same.
What's with all the monsters in the other universes?
It's worrying.
maidofmistakes: Hugging herself sadly. (We are all done wearing pants today)

That sounds... super depressing and hard to deal with. Sorry, I don't think I can help with that.

Being high on their priority list doesn't feel like a good thing, though.
Do we even know where these people came from??

That's right! If you're new to all of this then you'll probably be getting your first memory sometime soon. It can be a bit of an alarming experience, depending on what the memory is. Just remember that you're not alone in dealing with all of this - everyone on this network has regained memories of some sort!

[Tatsuo was still shaking his head over Derek's weird out-of-the-blue Britishism and thinking maybe he'll call an uber to head over to Matt's, when the pounding on his door begins. For about ten seconds, he thought it was Mafuyu, because who else abuses his door that way?

And then he heard Derek's voice. Except it was weird... because...

He yanks open his door.]

Arey you seriously using a British accent right now?

Me either! Hah.
I've been on this for...two...months? I guess?
Huh feels like less time, that's weird.
But yeah.
Superpowers and crazy souls and who knows what else!

I guess you are too huh?

you ask about the disco floor. the minotaur says that the disco floor was put in place before he was hired and that disco is dead so why make more trap disco rooms but at least he has a map of safe tiles and also he says he's going to punch you for breaching protocol

what would you like to talk to the minotaur about?
