this girl i met was talking about how she was placing bets on how long it'd be before unreality came back to make everything worse all over again. so far it was her and one other person and like i said, that is a shitty betting pool.
No, I was in mines, then swamp and lastly a dusty mansion from around 50 years ago or so? Not places people would willingly stay around. (Unless they were trying to prove something, I don't know.)
But it's not to say it's unrelated to this city or that organization. One of the team should be carrying blueprints on them.
oh. i remember you mentioned the mines and swamp. i guess the house was haunted after all then? what i want to know is how the company managed to get into unreality when it sounds like they accidentally got sucked there in the first place. like maybe someone else is in charge instead? when did you guys even get back?
Ah, you were that person other than my upperclassman and Mr. Brando then. That telepathic connection was never really explained. Way too many ghosts. Easily in the hundreds. I wonder where they've all gone now that there's no fighting to be done. I've been considering the Retrospec staff not being in control as well, they're the easiest to blame, but messing up on purpose this many times makes no sense. I doubt Mr. Jim will be able to recover from being everyone's punching bag for blame however. And lastly as for when we got back, I'm not really sure. My sense of time of what happened over August is on especially extreme jet lag.
it wasn't, no! outside of that i have never dealt with telepathy before, and you were not the only person i contacted which is weird? there was also weird stuff with dreams but that can all be written off as...you know, dreams. i wonder why the telepathy doesn't work anymore though. i would imagine the ghosts are probably still around. that does not seem like the kind of thing that would make them cross over. this jim guy sort of sounds like a douche anyway so maybe he deserves it? hard to say. it's september now, so i guess that means you were gone for a while month which is also a little weird to think about.
Maybe it's still here. Have you seen those thought bubbles? I imagine it would get pretty noisy being a consistent telepath, in comparison they'd be able to hear everyone's thoughts, and not only Retrospec users if they had no control over it. I had stronger hearing as a "gift" last month, that wasn't fun, but at least it wasn't mindreading.
Accurate enough. Being the face of the company, I'm sure he would have gotten a solid number of punches if any of the teams had encountered him.
The only reason I had a rough estimate of how much time had passed was the others I linked with, they told me the date. And that for that period of time, "I didn't exist", which probably encompassed the others stranded too. But now it's remarked as if I'd gone for a particularly harsh survival camp.
i thought i was imagining it but no, they are definitely there. i can't read what mine are saying but i have crashed enough people's thoughts to be able to tell. i wouldn't like being a telepath i think. especially if there was no way to turn it off. stronger hearing how? like dog-like hearing?
he's made enough people mad for sure.
you didn't exist. like your entire existence was just erased? what about your family and stuff like that? i get the idea of thinking you were on a survival camp retreat because it sort of sounds like a special sort of hell, but before that? the fact that non-users can be manipulated just makes this more intense.
I know. People are noisy enough as is without even the unsaid coming out in spurts, it's intrusive of not only their personal space but also your own willingness to learn so much. That would be so troublesome I can't imagine there's any peaceful time awake.
Possibly, but I can't say for sure how strong my ears were. Hearing connected noises through cave and creaky mansions really hurt. And I didn't exactly have opportunity to look up comparisons before falling through the floor. Either way, I feel bad for every creature that has to deal with this, even for survival reasons.
I've yet to ask my parents... because to be blunt I'm not sure I really want to hear they don't understand what I'm going through at all. But it did feel as if we were "outside reality". We could start a whole new egregious philosophy of contemplating manufactured existence.
peace, i think, is subjective anyway. but i don't mind learning about people if they are okay with that. if anything, i think the main problem for me would be the whole invasion of privacy thing. if you cannot trust your own thoughts, what can you trust?
that sounds really bad! wait you fell through what now.
a parental lecture probably would not answer all of the questions of the universe, you have a point. as much as i could get into a discussion contemplating the universe, my schedule is full of stuff not-that right now. it just leaves a lot of questions.

you really think so? i don't know that seems a little mean, but then again it was sort of a weird pool in the first place.

Elaborate, I'm curious.

That's an awful gamble too literally nobody believes Retrospec can keep things under control, do they?
no subject
and i don't know. do YOU believe retrospec can keep things under control?

Something as basic as messaging is getting sent to the wrong people.
I'm curious about what we'll get told about the employees by those who actually got to meet them.
no subject
you didn't get to meet anyone while you were out there?
