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. Maurice Fitzwilliam Mail Department Retr ![]() 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? Joanne Wiseman Technician 2nd class Retr ![]() 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. |

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?
no subject
if we're gonna say that we were other people in a past life, that's one thing. but if we're supposed to return to being those people, what's the point? what if there's no one else from our supposed "original home" left? we're just supposed to walk around carrying these memories and essentially suffer in some kinda limbo state?
and the alternative to this is just... dying? either way, it's not a great situation.
no subject
I hadn't thought of that.
There's no one else with memories like mine or anyone I recognize.
So
If we assume they're telling the truth...
Does that mean I'm the only 'survivor' from wherever they stole my soul?
Why only one person from that place
But
Half a dozen from a different one?
no subject
so how would they explain that? were they actually in that "other world" with me, or were they not? or were they people that were "rejecting" the whole thing and...
[ ...well shit, that's put an unpleasant thought in his head. ]
sorry. that's probably a little dark. i do think it's possible that there are probably people in your memories out there somewhere, but... it really does make it a bit too complicated if you sit down and think about it.
only thing i can really say for sure is that there are new people getting the app all the time, so it might just be a matter of waiting it out to see if any of em are people from your memories, y'know? but if they never come, then yeah, i'd... probably draw the same conclusions that you did, honestly.

But remember that stuff we found last month? Retrospec thinks they can save those worlds somehow.
no subject
Because let's say they are
And they somehow do fix these dead worlds
What happens to us?
no subject
Pessimistic answer: Retrospec's end game doesn't involve us.
I'm leaning towards the optimistic answer, just from a philosophical perspective, it doesn't make sense for us to stop existing. We're still unique individuals, no matter what Retrospec has done. But I won't ignore evidence that proves me wrong.

and she was pretty torn up about it actually so i guess she might know more than most of us do.
I don't really care about ne of those other worlds but they might try something like telling us it's OUR job to save the ones that got busted
no subject
Maybe. I mean. they can try.
I don't really care if the one I'm 'remembering' stays dead.
It's an awful place.
no subject
i think a lot of ppl agree with you. sabe places we have no attachment to AND that suck? like please.

i have kind of wondered that too.
i mean. there is a lot to remember but in the end what are they really doing this for if this is the world that matters?
and i guess the better question is how are they saving souls?
no subject
Someone said that they are trying to 'fix' the dead worlds somehow.
And as for saving souls
I don't know
Maybe they hired Jewel.
[Who will saaaaave your soul?]
no subject
all of their information sounds crazy, sure, but at the same time there has to be a logicalish part to it.
how do you fix a dead world? the only way to do that would be to bring them back to life wouldn't it?
hahaha. i know you are kidding but at this rate? i think i could buy it.

even if we are the survivors of some other worlds we’ve been living here our whole lives
in this life anyway
so what does that other life even matter anymore
why bother to "reconstruct" us at all
especially if they’re already gone
what's the point
no subject
I mean, maybe this was the best 'saving' they could do.
Though really
They probably should've asked us if we wanted other souls shoved inside us.
Except everyone would've probably said no.
no subject
i guess it doesn’t matter though
retrospec always had boundary issues
