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 have no idea, I don't remember anything about this

I think it's some sort of disease? I'd say acid burns or something but it looks like the pictures are over the course of two weeks so that doesn't make sense.

he's been really good for me. i adopted him just as soon as i got to school, and it's been really nice to have him as a companion.
he has his own instagram and everything ★

as for tips...
bunny proofing!! tsuchin is like houdini
he's escaped from every cage i've ever bought him, so i'm still trying to work that out...
but i have all of my cords hidden in places he can't get to them.
he also loves fresh hay, and i make sure to groom him a lot, because sometimes it's the only time i can get him to stay still!

Nope. You just have to suck it up and deal with it like the rest of us. But you're tough enough to do that, right?

No, it's not, but I think all of this information is fairly new?
I've had it for a few months now. And I know others have had it for much longer.
It seems like it's been around for almost a year, as far as everyone knows.

He started living in my garage and he runs every time I go in there.

Also he's a giant fanged rat that tried to eat me.

Well you're going to need to keep warning people,
because there's no way to get rid of this thing. It's a bother to everyone who has it,
but you're in good company!

Hm.
So they're saying we're souls stolen from worlds before they die.
So that's insane.

But let's say it's not just for argument's sake.
If those worlds are dead.
And we're their...survivors?
Then in a way this is the only world that actually matters, right?

Yeah.
And it look like blue is almost back but there's still a lot out there that should be green but isn't.
It's kind of like living in a glitched out video game.
Now that you're on the app, you can see the places where things are weird.
drydrown: is that a fucking fencepost (NERVES ♡ okay but who does that)

I see.

I...think the sky was blue at one point? That sounds right, at any rate.

...That's a good question.

But I feel like doing that would make our cooperation way harder to get...unless we forget really slowly,
or something.

No, I have not been today, and I am loathe to say that I am now hesitant to do so.

But, if it's as you say, then I should have no worries.

an interesting question. they wouldn't work there if it didn't, would they?
unless it's entirely a family business sort of thing, which i could understand
many of my family members have been groomed to take over their parents' business ventures when they pass on...
but then again, Retrospec doesn't feel like that sort of business.
