retrospec

Um hi everyone!

So one of the abilities I've gotten from Retrospec is I can enchant some things I cook with magic. They still don't taste like anything, but can give extra benefits like healing or strength boosts. Oh, and it all glows or sparkles too.

I need to save up some money for music equipment, and I was thinking some people might want something to make eating a little more fun again? So I've decided to put my cooking on sale, at least for a little bit. I don't have a restaurant or a shop to sell from, so all of it will have to ordered ahead of time and delivered to you. And I can only really sell stuff that would travels well, sorry about that. But they could make a great Christmas gift, or to have something with you while you train?

Anyway, please let me know if you want any? The menu's below. Thanks.

So I was reading the Recolle Times and I came across this lovely article. I am pretty sure I know some of the people being referred to in it, and I'd just like to say that I am flattered. Matt, I think you are the hot ADA the writer is referring too, just saying. I for one, think the holiday calendar is a bloody brilliant idea.

11/9 near Recolle Police Department

For those of you who haven't met me, this is Officer Hitori Togusa, with the Recolle Police. I'm posting today to ask for help in organizing a Recolle Neighborhood Watch. Or, more accurately, a Retrospec Neighborhood Watch.
Last month, I saw a lot of people making a lot of effort to help each other out. People trying to keep each other safe, and even the people who couldn't tell that anything strange was going on. It was inspiring. And there were also a lot of questions about what more people can do to help. If there's anything that August and now October have made painfully clear, it's that the RPD can't be in all places at once. But Retrospec can.
Credit Oppa Ichirou Matsuoka for the idea. But what we need would be a few civilian volunteers to organize. This would be entirely civilian-run and organized, we're just here to help. You're going to need more than one person running this. The best candidates would be people who already know a lot of people on the app, and who know what they are capable of. Somebody who can point out, "No, that pet dragon is supposed to be there, but the giant spiders might be a problem."
As I said, the RPD is going to stay out of the handling of it. I've definitely got some recommendations, but people are free to take or leave them. But any of us Officers will help coordinate and train the organizers. Pretty sure Oppa Frederick Baudin was enthusiastic about the idea.
Questions, comments, any volunteers already? Let's talk.

[It's early in the evening when a network post goes up. Rather than voice or video, she's sending out text for reasons which will become obvious as people read.]

I know this probably isn't the place for it, but something's happened to my uncle, Matt Murdock. Retrospec gave him some sort of ability and it seems to be affecting his senses.

He seems to be hearing things, and smelling things, and it's making him incredibly sensitive to just about everything. I do not know what to do.

He needs help but I don't think that the hospital can do anything but make it worse. I've already given him earplugs but I want to help him more! Does anyone have any advice, or experience with anything like this at all?

Also, to anyone that he works with? Please don't expect him to come in to work until he's gotten a handle on this. I don't think he can leave the house without being in horrible pain.

Do any of you keep having memories of someone who's never been in your life?

I keep seeing visions of someone that I can tell is really important to my memory/past/alternate universe self, but I don't know anything about them. I've never had anyone like that. But even though I've never met them, every weird memory I've gotten seems to be about this person, so I think they must be really important.

Am I supposed to feel like something's missing? I figured this is a pretty common thing, so...

Thanks. Sorry if this doesn't make sense.

Retrospect just chopped my f****** arm off
I woke up this morning with only one arm
My dad's going nuclear and my sister screamed when she saw me
What the hell am I supposed to do now

Before anyone asks no I don't need to go to the hospital I already got it looked at
But consider this a PSA start sleeping with one eye open
In case retrospect comes for you in the middle of the night with a f****** hatchet

Anyway this means A Lyrical Assassination is going on indefinite hiatus
I never got around to finishing it but here's what I managed to put together for the new album before retrospect decided to rip my arm off
Enjoy it because it's the last music I ever made

[ And here is a link to his soundcloud/bandcamp. The album cover is this, and the track listing is here. ]

I've got a question, and I don't mean for it to scare people, because what I'm really looking for is proof that I'm wrong.
If these other people, the ones Retrospec is giving us the memories of? Retrospec is also slowly giving us their bodies. A piece at a time, it seems.
What if they were sick? Is it slowly going to happen to us, too?
How can we help each other out if it does start happening?

So that I'm not wasting everybody's time with this, though. I've been asking about Dr. James Halliday, a memory researcher a bunch of us came across the name of in August. Despite the fact that Retrospec seems to have been interested in his work, I don't think they're using it.
It specialized in deep-brain stimulation, but I personally had a check done to see if there were any changes to my brain from being on the app for eight months now, and there's nothing.
Just so we can rule that one out.

9/27

[It's definitely a video, but the camera appears to be filming...nothing? At best, it's pointed at a table, so most of the lens is obscured in darkness. Every so often in moves, revealing a small sliver of light and what appears to be some kind of spilled glass and drink is strewn across the floor.

Nui's voice, however, is clearly audible. No picture is needed for that. Also she is screeching, with increasing volume and emotion by the second.]

[ooc: 1) pretend it's not almost 20 minutes long. 5 minutes at max. 2) mute the video and listen to this instead. 3) pretend it says things like 'Tisse' and 'Chata' rather than 'Nolita' and 'Central Park']

So I'm not a big laws guy, but I'm pretty sure walking around with a giant scythe would be against some kind of law, despite that being a shitty kind of weapon. Does it make a difference, not-getting-arrested-wise, if that scythe is a book at the time?

[He'd say something about wanting it a month or two ago, but he can't lift it when it's a scythe, so it's not that useful.]

Also Retrospec doesn't care what your legal address is, but I don't think that should surprise anyone.

[Hey, Retrospec. Have you gotten tired of seeing this face yet? Dante doesn't look too excited to be on camera, but once he's sure it's recording and isn't going to fall over, he'll take a step back and begin.]

Hey, guys. I'm pretty sure most of you probably know who I am, but for anybody that doesn't yet, the name's Dante.

By this point everyone's probably got the gist of what happened last month: monsters throughout the entire city. They showed up at the end of the convention in July and didn't disappear until we managed to fix all this unreality stuff near the end of August. It didn't matter whether you were part of the network or not, if you were young or old, if you knew how to defend yourself or not--all those monsters went after whoever looked like a good target.

This isn't the first time we've had to fight like that. Anyone who was here in May can tell you; we were all shrunk down to six inches tall and a lot of us had to defend ourselves from rats or spiders or other bugs that decided to investigate us. It's probably not the last time we'll have to fight like that.

Back in June we started weekly training sessions, practices where anybody can try out different weapons and learn how to fight. After this past month, I'd say we need it now more than ever.

If you just got access to Retrospec this month, come and check it out. You're going to get these flashes of memory whether or not you're trying to trigger them, and if you knew how to fight, it can be dangerous to remember in the wrong moment. Even if you didn't know how to fight before, we can teach you how to defend yourself so that if something like this happens again...

[He trails off before shaking his head.]

Anyways, practices are Sundays from 6pm to midnight at Utsuki Dojo in Tisse. If you've got any questions, let me know.

[Dante reaches forward to turn off the camera, but pauses before looking back.]

I mean it. The stuff that happened last month... if there's anything we can do to keep something like that from happening in the future, I want to do it. Even if that's just making sure that more people know how to protect themselves.

That's it.

[[ooc: with an accompanying log for fight practices here! As always feel free to use both this and the log as an all-purpose mingle; threadjack as desired, it's all good.]]
