[recollecters]

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 Retrspec Incorporated 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 Retrspec Incorporated 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.

.....what? I think I understood some words in that but it still all seems gibberish to me. Is that the right word here? Gibberish?

Uncontrolled unreality what now? Souls? I'm lost here. If I got some stupid virus or something on this new phone already, I'm gonna be pissed.
Not to mention my foster dad.

[androidheart]

I too, am quite lost. It seems to me that it is not a virus, but is in fact the real deal, unfortunately.

[dejerate]

I don't know if I should be relieved at that or more concerned.

[androidheart]

I feel that the best approach is to remain skeptical while continuing your normal life as though this were not happening.

It has worked wonders for me over the past two hours or so.

[dejerate]

This thing doesn't stop me having homework or deadlines in figuring what I want to do after I finish school but. It's still weird.

[androidheart]

Apparently you get used (Yused? Lol.) to it?

You still have plenty of time to decide what to do after graduation, at least.

[dejerate]

Oi. Shut it.

I know there's still another year. I just want to decide and be ready when it comes. Whichever option I go with.

[androidheart]

Speaking from experience, it is best for you to follow your heart and do what makes you happiest.

That is what I did, and I am turning out quite well, in my opinion.
Aside from being kicked out of my own house, that is, but that doesn't mean I regret the decision!

[dejerate]

You were kicked out?! What did you do?

[megabond]

If you want to know, it means that our bodies are actually vessels for the souls of those people that we saw in our otherworldly memories.

From I can understand this, it seems to be their version of reincarnation.

[dejerate]

Vessels? You make that sound more like possession or something than reincarnation. I didn't even install this thing. I'm sure of it. Now it's talking about souls and unreality or whatever.

But if you're saying it's reincarnation that's like. That'd mean we are, or were, the people with these other memories or whatever? I feel like I should pre-emptively take some painkillers for this impending headache of trying to understand this crap.

[megabond]

I think so. I even got some items and companions that seems to be related to my memory self.

Either way, I doubt we can stop these memories from sending into our minds anytime soon.

[dejerate]

Companions?

You say that but if there's a way this app, these people can do this, there's got to be a way to stop it or undo this somehow, reversing it. We just have to figure it out, is all.

[....In theory. Might be harder or impossible in reality to actually achieve but. Well. He's a stubborn brat so. Of course he's not immediately going to just accept this.]

[megabond]

I rather not explain everything, but it seems that Retrospec seemed to bring me some creatures called Pokemon that my memory self owned.

You are welcome to try. Although I have to warn you that if you were banished from this app, your memories of it will be erased.

[dejerate]

A Pokewhatnow?

Tch. Course. It'd be too easy otherwise, right?

[megabond]

That's what the creatures I saw are called in my memories.

Of course, telling anyone about this app doesn't have any punishment, but most of the non-users will not believe you.

[dejerate]

So you mean they're like pets then?

But we can work together, the people who do have the app. Seems like there's a lot of us, at least. We could use that.

[orderslove]

That would be a good word!

It seems the people that own it...can do a lot worse than just an app.

[dejerate]

This is just supposed to be some social media thing. But it sounds like it does a lot more than that.
I was told about it before but. I wasn't really aware of the half of it from the sounds of this.

[orderslove]

I am new to this too but everyone has been showing images of physical changes and more.

[dejerate]

Doesn't necessarily mean we will change physically? But I know what you mean. If we go back through stuff on here, it's. Kinda freaky.

[orderslove]

It seems it has happened to people?

[dejerate]

I still don't get how a social media app does all this but. I guess I'll learn as I go, or whatever. And get some advice from others along the way.

[orderslove]

I'm not sure either but it might be best to be prepared?

[dejerate]

As prepared as any of us can be for this nonsense, I guess.
