So does anyone else get really sick when they're around those glowy green gems, or is it just me? I basically couldn't do anything all last month.

Uh, just in case the answer's no, is there anything else we should be worried about in town? Or in the winter town? Considering we're headed out there sooner or later, we should probably all be on the same page preparedness-wise instead of guessing.

[As if confusion over her memories wasn't bad enough with just the two, she's already got a third and about a billion questions as a result. Maybe that's why, once she's fretted for a few minutes after waking up, she finally goes to the one thing that might have some answers.

Her username is Lily and her icon is still a red dragon lady crinum.]

Heyyyyy

So like

Is it possible to remember things from different lives?

[That's basically the only explanation she can think of here.]

i know we've all got enough on our plates right now but we've got another problem now
someone's been stalking me and leaving me messages for the past few days
i don't know if they're on the app or not but they must at least know about it bc they're leaving me messages in places i haven't been since i died
and no one who's off-app has noticed them
they're probably a serial killer judging on how much blood he's using
whoever it is they must be a threat to all of us
the faster we figure out who this is the faster we can get them taken care of and get back to dealing with vanderweele
if anyone recognizes the handwriting or who it might be, speak up

[ He attaches a series of photos:

One of a plain brick wall taken in an alley.

One of the front wall of City Hall.

One of the wall above a toilet--a few may recognize it as being from inside Eren's bathroom.

One of a door to a patient's room in the hospital.

One of the Recolle High School dumpster.

There is absolutely nothing notable or out of the usual in any of the photos. There is no handwriting to judge, and no blood in sight. ]

[this is the first time anyone's seen Anna around on the network since the beginning of the month, and the first time she's been back in the city since Saturday. she went on an adventure.]

Maybe stay away from Bosuma for a while.

Anyone know where to get eyepatches? Asking for a friend.

[Hello Retrospec. There's a new post showing up on the network from a name some of you might not recognize, though plenty of you may. Seems like someone got demoted recently given he's posting directly from another account instead of the official Retrospec one. The username, Z.C. appears attached and the photo sure is a picture of this guy. Surprise…? One may think the former liaison would have something important to say, but:]

Male, 29, back from the dead and also a long stint trapped somewhere I couldn't reach you guys. AMA.

[That's it. That's the post. It seems as though Mr. Carlisle still isn't back in the city of Recollé, but at least he can field questions and chat. Perhaps he'll even be able to answer a few questions about things that are occurring here...]

This month certainly has been interesting so far, hasn't it. Joanne - I know you're not going to reply, dear heart, but you might want to place a moratorium on calling things "exciting" for the next short while, seeing as apparently it just curses the entire situation.

Though perhaps I'm biased in some way; after all, my body doesn't exactly play nicely with fire anymore.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not one for bolstering one's spirit; either you'll find your own fortitude in times like this or you won't, and bluntly put the direction you choose to take is of very little consequence to me. However, that isn't to say that it doesn't hold my interest; whether you've run screaming into the flames or avoided them, my question is one of progress. Not physical, as I have no doubt that we'll receive updates on whether what we're doing is truly enough or not – but rather internal.

Consider it a question of morale, I suppose. How we're holding up, how things are looking for the days to come. Whether we all hate ourselves a little less, if that's the sort of thing you have to report.

If nothing else, it seems an acceptable concern to have at the moment.

[...That is literally the most stilted "how is everyone doing, hope you're all having a happy crisis and not literally dying in a fire" that has ever been written, but you know what, it's going to have to work for now.]

So this is a trunk that is definately bigger on the inside. I can fit a lot of stuff in here and I got it at the end of the year along with all of this wizarding school supplies. (Which completes all of the things required to get for the school my other self went to as a first year). Like... I don't know what to do with it all, most of the books are blank:

1. Two sets of plain work robes (black)
2. One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide)
3. One winter cloak (black, with silver fastenings)
4. name tags.
5. One plain pointed hat (black)

hey so
this is james barnes
i'm not dead anymore
so if anyone was still freaking out about that, well
don't, i guess

[ this is not a thing he thought he had to state but, well, apparently word does not travel through the grapevine as well as he thought, so. he might as well state it to the whole app at large. ]

anyway, first off,
if anyone needs help shoveling sidewalks or cleaning driveways or whatever after that snowstorm, let me know
or if you need anything else done even if it isn't snow-related
i'll do whatever you need for some cash and/or some clothes

second off,
does anyone know where i can get a fake id
i just need to replace the id stuff i lost when i died
message me privately if you don't want to talk openly on here

third off,
i got some new stuff about the founders i think
[ insert a link to a video here. ]
this is from that cavendish house last month
there was an empty book in there and i wrote down everything i knew about them and then this reenactment thing started happening
not sure how much of this is new vs old but apparently this is how it went down forever ago at the start of all this
i'm not sure how this fits into everything else we have so far

With everything seeming to have blown over from the last few months, I figure I should make my services known.

I'm Aramaki and I'm a Private Investigator that specializes in missing persons, fraud and identity theft. The RPD has used my services and I have been hired as an investigator for cases for several law offices here in Recolle. Like many of you I was ...indisposed, shall we say, from events in the last few months and have been similarly unsettled by other recent events. Since my usual casework has dried up due to the end of year lull, I'm offering my assistance to folks until things pick up again.

I know that there has been conversation; that some of us are remembering things differently than their friends and family who are also on the app. If anyone has a particular person or event that they are looking for records on, feel free to reach out.

Personally, I am also looking for information on events in the last two months.

If anyone has information relating to the mass haunting we experienced last month, I'm trying to get the tidbits shared from the ghosts into one file.

There is also the matter of the virus in October. I am decently sure I was in the first group of infected and I am trying to see if there are any commonalities between those in the originating group.

If anything in the above is relevant to you, please leave a message at this number.

Alpha#02010681 This is Hitori Togusa, this name thing is annoying.
Alpha#02010681 Who else has been in contact with Zee recently? I can't get him, and I've only got the barest information to go on.
Alpha#02010681 He said that he was finding information in their system that was just plain wrong, and wanted to investigate something related to it. I think this meant leaving the city, but I can't verify it.
Alpha#02010681 The big clue, he said he wanted to generate something called a counterwave. He didn't elaborate.
Alpha#02010681 We have to find him, and either help him or stop him. He dropped off the network, I didn't even think that was possible!
Alpha#02010681 Does anybody else know anything? Can anyone else help search the city or the outlying areas?

I'm assuming that others also received a word, mine is 'beta!' I'm still uncertain what that really means, but maybe we should do a tally and go from there!

Anyway, I do have two other questions that I wish to ask! So, I'm going to ask!

Question 1: Has anyone heard of the name 'Kiyotaka Ishida?' I assure you that is not my name, I'm Kiyotaka Ishimaru, but I've been getting strange messages about him! From what I've gathered, he's a college student with blonde white hair.

Question 2: How would you define a 'moral compass?' Is it really possible to be the um, best in that? An ultimate moral compass??

Hi everyone! It's been crazy lately with retrospec breaking and all the other things going around that I thought I would ask everyone a fun question.

What kind of music does everyone like?
It can be new songs, oldies, new genres, anything!
I'm curious and always on the look out for new music to play during my show

Thanks Ryuunosuke Akutagawa, for suggesting Retrospec wouldn't do something as stupid as switching people's bodies, and on their useless monthly post no less. They did the stupid thing.

For reference, here's a dumb photo our uncle took to justify mixing us up. I'm the one on the left (Kazuki), but I woke up in the fancy apartment and body of the guy on the right (Mizuki).

So, what proof do we have that these so-called “memories” are truly ours and not some wild fantasy? What proof do we have that they’re real? I know they feel real, familiar, right even when they’re terribly wrong…

But that’s the thing: they do not make sense, and there is no proof that I have seen that these ‘memories’ are truly mine.

Has anyone else had these doubts?

[Mio's been left alone with her thoughts for a very long while and she can't help but feel avidly curious about a few things. She needs to confirm them, just to be safe.]

Hey, Retrospec.

I didn't get the chance to ask these questions since I didn't find out until recently, and I'm not exactly sure if I'm correct or not, but there's definitely a few things I want to ask. I need to be absolutely certain.

Can someone on the application change? Not changes as in memories or regaining their past lives, but rather... Can their memories and histories of their lives in Recolle change altogether? Can memories of someone who a person used to be close to be altered into something different?

Also, a follow up question. Has anyone been having weird dreams lately? Of people being in their dreams that usually aren't? I know it was just yesterday for me, but my dreams before that have been rather distinct and difficult to just simply forget, so I want to know if it's just me or not.

And if you're not interested in either of those questions... I already asked for cute things last time, so I'll ask this: tell me something funny you've experienced or seen recently. It can be anything.
