Hello Everyone!

I hope we're doing okay today and are enjoying the new root town. Remember to be careful on the bridges!

To get to the point of this post—Does everyone remember that post that Oriae made mentioning the bonus gear some of us got?

Well, I got some bonus gear myself, and I'll confirm that it wasn't CCCorp! Or anyone in this game...or "world". In fact I was told that it was cursed before being warned to stop using it or otherwise I'd be harmed.

Sounds kind of crazy doesn't it?

[ ah. ]

I wonder too.
Except, for some reason, it doesn't feel like they would be the same.
Creating something and then doing /that/ are two different things.

My armor does do that, though. Even after the mirror glitch was fixed.

That's why I can't help but wonder.

[tot]

Has that happened with anyone else?
Their special armor has appeared like a bug elsewhere?

[gluttoning]

I haven't heard of it, no. Maybe it's just coincidence.

A lot of us that had bad issues have things about our armor that are really personal, though. If whatever this person is can access our memories like the mirror did, maybe that's how they got the idea for all this equipment.

[tot]

Maybe.
But something like that sounds outrageous, don't you think?
I know I already made myself sound crazy enough making this post, but having access to someone's memories like that sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.
How would something like that even be possible?

[gluttoning]

How am I supposed to know? They made the mirrors work, and they made my armor almost impossible to wear now because of the same problem. If they can make that happen... there has to be some weird brain thing they're doing? Maybe?

[tot]

Brain washing sounds a bit extreme.
It just feels wrong to think of it being that sinister. I know I might be alone in that thinking.

[gluttoning]

No, I think you have a point. I don't mean brainwashing, anyway.

If this game can make things feel and smell and taste and sound super real, then maybe doing something with our memories is just using the same equipment they already use to make us taste fake food or feel fake wind. When it was hot the other week, it felt like my whole body was reacting, like I was really struggling out in the sun.

I can't pretend to know how they do that, either.

[tot]

It was the same for me as well - even after I logged off and took off the equipment for the evening. It gets hot where I live but rarely that unbearable.
Everything that has been happening is really hard to make heads or tails of.

However -!

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

I wouldn't have thought I'd use this quote in real life
LOL :-)

[gluttoning]

I don't get it.

[It feels like this whole scenario is pretty impossible. But he is also not very bright.]

[ help. ]

Oh, I'm sorry.
Did I say something confusing?
