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.

a friend of mine thought my liver was failing, so you're not alone, hahaha

It doesn't bother me anymore––besides, my eyes were blue before, which meant they were grey, and yellow is 100% better than grey

Have you gotten anything interesting back lately, Sakura?
keystaff: (Quiet)

WE SAW NOTHING.

[personal profile] keystaff 2017-11-02 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
Your liver? But it's not, right? You're really alright?

I'm still finding it strange with the colours. But um. I got this staff, or, mostly I've just worn it as a necklace because it's kind of big and I'm not sure what to do with it yet. Other than that there was this other memory, but. I'm not sure that's 'interesting' so much as it's confusing.
And kind of creepy?
lingeringwill: (Looking off)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-11-02 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
ahaha, I'm okay Sakura, i promise. In fact, the nerve damage in my arms has gotten a lot better, so I'm actually healthier than I've been since you've known me

your staff turns into a necklace? That's pretty rad, at least.
I've had a hell of a lot of creepy memories, so feel free to share, if you're comfortable with that.
keystaff: (It's the only way)

[personal profile] keystaff 2017-11-02 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
Your arms? Wait, what happened to your arms?!

It's um. Well, It looked like my mum. Except what she was doing in the memory, in the fog...that wasn't her.
lingeringwill: (16)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-11-02 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
I got injured pretty badly back in august. Damaged a bunch of nerves in my arms so sometimes i get numbness in my hands & arms, but its no big

The fog...Yeah, I had a run in with the fog, too. That definitely wasn't your mom, but it must not have been easy on you either way. Are you okay?
keystaff: (The ground beneath)

[personal profile] keystaff 2017-11-02 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. That must have been before I got the app. Even the doctors can't help with something like the nerves though, right?

I'm alright. I wasn't hurt or anything.


[Or, not seriously, physically at least. It's more psychologically that she's still kind of reeling from it.]
lingeringwill: (Sigh)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-11-02 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
If it was severed I'd be beyond help, but the damage isn't totally irreperable. I've been going to physical therapy for the past two and a half months to help it get better faster...it's a work in progress.

I'm glad that you weren't hurt, but...that must not have been easy on you. If you ever need someone to listen to you, I'm always an option, y'know
keystaff: (Softened)

[personal profile] keystaff 2017-11-02 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
I hope it helps. The therapy.

I know. Everyone on here has been really helpful to me with everything with the app. But ah, if I talk to you, then. It's okay if you talk to me too. I mean, I might not know as much about all this but. At least I can listen. If that'll help.
lingeringwill: (Heh...)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-11-02 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I told you I was doing better, didn't I?

You're too good for the rest of us, Sakura. I'll definitely let you cheer me up next time I'm getting down on myself, yeah? I think sometimes I could probably use an extremely tiny fourteen year old to tell me what a dummy I'm being.
keystaff: (Refunds)

[personal profile] keystaff 2017-11-02 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
I just didn't know.

I'm not that tiny! It's just that you and my brother are like giants!
lingeringwill: (15)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-11-02 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
you don't need to feel self conscious, Sakura! You have like, five more years to grow. I'm sure you'll be as tall as me when you're my age.
keystaff: (Shared Determination)

[personal profile] keystaff 2017-11-02 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
I will! If my brother is anything to go off of anyway.
lingeringwill: (Heh...)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-11-02 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
just try not to accidentally step on me when the time comes, okay?
keystaff: (Tease magnet)

[personal profile] keystaff 2017-11-02 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'll step on my brother, not you.
lingeringwill: (15)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-11-02 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
that'll teach him to leave dinner up to you so often

Sakura, the vengeful giant of recolle
keystaff: (Who rescues you)

[personal profile] keystaff 2017-11-02 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
All his teasing! He wouldn't do it if I was older, or taller like him! I'm sure of it!
lingeringwill: (Default)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-11-02 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
who knew so much rage could be condensed into such a tiny package

(Tiny for now, anyway)

Terra-san! Don't you start like him.
