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.

This is an overflow to the post located here. Feel free to continue old threads on it or to post new ones.

That I don't know. But from what I can guess, I think these Retrospec people might able to manipulate reality just to restore those lost souls.
maidofmistakes: Hugging herself sadly. (We are all done wearing pants today)

[personal profile] maidofmistakes 2017-11-03 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
What, like some weird super technology? Though I guess this is already that...
megabond: (Thinking)

[personal profile] megabond 2017-11-03 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well, the only way we might find out is to know more about the city and Retrospec's history as well with the worlds' destruction.
maidofmistakes: Annoyed, lifting something. (Why are you in my phone)

[personal profile] maidofmistakes 2017-11-03 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
So everyone on this really is from the same city. That's kind of a weird limit for magical Internet.
megabond: (Thinking)

[personal profile] megabond 2017-11-03 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I wonder if it has something to do with those calls and emails...
maidofmistakes: Unsure but happy look. (I really want to know why)

[personal profile] maidofmistakes 2017-11-03 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
What, like chain emails?
megabond: (Tired)

[personal profile] megabond 2017-11-03 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Not exactly. But I keep having my calls dropped and emails bounced back whenever it has something to do with my older brother from outside the city.
maidofmistakes: Lifting a plastic skeleton. (Some guy I'd never met and didn't invite)

[personal profile] maidofmistakes 2017-11-04 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
That's a little concerning, yeah. Like what happens in magic town stays there.
megabond: (Thinking)

[personal profile] megabond 2017-11-04 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
You have a good point there. But still, I'm just worried about this.
maidofmistakes: Sulking. (i think im in europe. pls send help)

[personal profile] maidofmistakes 2017-11-04 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
No kidding. I hope it doesn't get any worse.
megabond: (Tired)

[personal profile] megabond 2017-11-05 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
I pray it won't. Until then, we just have to endure it if we can. I'll try to update with a network post in case something might happen.
maidofmistakes: Looking up. (She's asleep in a Fisher-Price toy car.)

[personal profile] maidofmistakes 2017-11-05 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You mean like memories going bad?
megabond: (Serious)

[personal profile] megabond 2017-11-05 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Something like that. Until then, we should prepare ourselves for the worst.
maidofmistakes: Lifting a plastic skeleton. (Some guy I'd never met and didn't invite)

[personal profile] maidofmistakes 2017-11-05 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, so, uh, probably terrible things. Got it.
megabond: (Thinking)

[personal profile] megabond 2017-11-06 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Until then, just go out to your normal life for now until something big comes up.
