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.

wait. which sister?

[personal profile] blondferret 2017-11-02 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
My younger sister Amanda, the one right after me. But also, I just found out my recently adopted younger brother, Noni is also on the app, and my younger cousin Natalie. I don't think you know Natalie, she just moved here from New York, she is living with her brother. Oh dear god, I hope he does't get on the app. He is the type of person who freaks out so bad you just kind of want to... ugh, I don't know how to describe him.

wow. wooooooooooooooooow.

dude. that sucks man.

And it's your fault. Apparently once someone you are associated with, like close friends or family are on the app, the chances of you getting on the app go up exponentially. Blood hell Tatsuo!

Wait. You're blaming me for this?! It's not like I just up and decided to do this!

And did you just type 'blood hell'?
blondferret: (wtf)

[personal profile] blondferret 2017-11-02 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I meant "bloody hell"... wait... since when do I use British slang? Did I ever say that as a kid? Like before I lost my accent?

[After Derek sends this he will be yelling at his owl and cat to stop making so much noise and then realize he doesn't recognize his own voice.]

[By now Derek is freaking out and his roommate is giving his strange looks. Grabbing his phone, Derek books it up the stairs and starts banging on Tatsuo door. He will be using a English accent.]

Tatsuo! Tatsuo are you home? Bloody hell open up the door mate!

[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?

blondferret: (wtf)

[Derek quickly enters Tatsuo's apartment and closes the door.]

Yeah, and that's why I'm freaking out. Mate, I can't get rid of the accent. I even tried doing an American accent. Look.

[Derek attempts to do an American accent but it comes out a horrible attempt at a standard America accent with hints of southern flair.]

My name is Derek Matthews and I can speak proper American English.

[Derek reverts back to his now current English accent.]

See, I can't do it! Bloody hell I sound like a complete tosser!
