I. - CURRENT PLAYERS + TDMERS
It's been days since the firewall took over the city of Recollé. The heat is still present even in mid-January and though the wall has consumed much of the outer edges of the city, the buildings and innerworkings of each district are unaffected and still standing tall. Firefighters are working endlessly to try and put out the flames and combat the issue, but the flames only begin to lessen as Retrospec users work together to curb the fire and stop it from spreadng.
This might be the time to jump in and help. Previously, you may have tried to help and found your efforts futile. Those new to the app may even have found themselves thinking the flames were best left to the professionals once the assessment was made that there would be minimal damage. However, there seems to be a power tied to that new app on your phone. Should you attempt to help put out the flames, your efforts shall be rewarded and a pathway will open into a tunnel of fire with a series of doors spread before you.
With many of you finding your way through the firewall and unlocking the doors within, progress is being made to wear down the security measures. Points in the wall will begin to crumble under touch alone and rows and rows of doors begin to appear. The flames are starting to die down outside, but it becomes clear that it's not just a few chambers you must explore. Several thousands of doors are scattered amongst the flames waiting for you to approach. Luckily you won't have to open all of them. The silver doors loom in the distance, but thanks to the efforts of the last two weeks, identifying the doors is much easier than before.
While several of the doors that have been opened are easy to navigate, users will come to find that as they approach a new door an error message will appear and block the path to the door. These messages will not appear on doors that do not contain keys, though this pattern may not be obvious at first. Sometimes the messages will appear just by walking in any of the cardinal directions inside the fire tunnel, popping up right in front of your face and forcing you to walk straight into them. These pop-ups can be dismantled via physical force or magic, though you may wish to be careful. Anyone who directly touches these messages will find themselves…multiplying? Oh dear. Two, three, or even four copies of yourself will appear and begin to wander off not only in the tunnels but back through the wall and out in the city of Recollé. Users who are split apart will have to round up all versions of themselves to become whole again, and the clones themselves will be more than happy to wander as they please, posing as you and attempting to deter others from progressing. Good luck getting them to stop.

The pop-ups aren't the only issue users will begin to experience the longer they linger in the wall. As Retrospec users continue navigating these routes and clearing the paths needed to break down the firewall, things begin to grow a little more difficult to manage. Though the passages of the doors appear to be fine and users can enter new areas to obtain keys, it seems as though there's something bigger that wants to stop the progress occurring.
Users with Retrospec-given abilities will find difficulty in using their powers in ways they've never experienced before. Superstrength gives out after two seconds while shapeshifting will leave you stuck in that form for three days. Magic is on the fritz and spells will backfire, kicking back and damaging yourself for every spell you attempt to use. A small ball of light will escape your fingertips, draining you of your abilities and gifting them to someone else temporarily (though they won't know how to control them the way you do.) The trouble with it all is that no method is the same, and even if you experience a glitch once an outside force will change the consequences so they do not repeat.
You may think to check your phone for answers. Can you Google how to fix your own powers? While a search engine won't be of any use, users will find that the Retrospec app's logo has a new, upgraded appearance. Five of the eight inner petals have will appear gray in color while the remaining three are untouched. A sixth petal is colored halfway in. Should a user activate the app while in the city, they will find that everything around them will pause in a freezeframe. Birds will stop mid-flight, cars will be stopped in the middle of intersections, firehoses will have frozen arches of water aimed to the flames…everything is perfectly still save for other users.
As for those who activate the app inside the firewall, time will become fluid and change around you. Everything seems to move at hyperspeed, actions on fast-forward and time skipping ahead. Your actions will also be at the speed of light, and should you manage to accomplish your goals inside the wall and beyond the doors, a return to the city will show that much more time has passed than you anticipated. Hours or even days have escaped you even if it felt like no time at all.
With some trial and error, users can discover that a hard reset of their phone and re-opening the app will undo these effects. However, it may not be so easy seeing how the app will appear and disappear intermittently. Be quick; you may miss it if you blink.

It seems a bit suspicious that Retrospec's gone quiet throughout all of this, doesn't it. There hasn't been word from the company since Joanne's last message about the firewall, and as usual any attempt to contact the company is futile. The message from delta#02018329 on the 13th was the last form of communication from anyone tied to Retrospec and since then all has been quiet. The animal guides from before are hard at work helping users discover new paths and find the keys, knowing they need to work quickly.
On the 24th, the firewall begins coming down in large chunks, falling away and shattering into embers when destroyed by an established user. The wall reveals the lines of doors surrounding the city and as of this date the temperature begins to drop again. Good job, users. You've almost fully dismantled the blockade. However, the wall isn't finished yet.
Beginning on this day as well, established users will become public enemy number one for the operator of the wall. A string of bad luck begins to follow you in an attempt to deter you from finishing your task of destroying this wall. Ranging from small feats such as misplacing your phone to larger feats such as removing all doors and windows from a building you're in, these attempts can be easily broken with enough willpower or simply waiting it out. For the truly unlucky, even NPCs will grow suspicious of you and begin to question you, asking you what's changed about you and why you and only you are the one who can put out the flames when the fire department has been working so hard.
Most importantly, however, are the small showers of green sparks that will appear over the city, sprinkling on you from overhead and dousing you in an invisible sheen. An equally invisible force feels as though it's pulling you down quickly despite standing in one place, and when the feeling passes…well. You may wonder what this strange app is on your phone and why you have it. It's new, isn't it? Wonder what it could be. You've never heard of Retrospec before, you think, but it can't be that interesting.
Perhaps you haven't slipped that far. You may be one of those who finds yourself with gaps in your memory, or items on-hand you don't quite recall having before. Images will flash through your mind even if you can't pinpoint where you've experienced these things before. And, of course, there's the fact that you may even literally slip between layers in the city, entering a door in the firewall and falling down into a plain white room. This washed-out castle-esque hall will make navigation difficult as the doorway to return blends into the walls. It only takes a trick of jogging your memory and recalling your true purpose to outline the door. What does it mean to jog your memory? This can be anything from sharing a memory you don't understand to showing off an item or ability and brainstorming its purpose. You will only understand the truth and remember everything upon leaving this castle, but until then? Time to brainstorm.

It's a little alarming to suddenly wake up and have a brand new app on your phone that connects you to a special group of people, isn't it? This may not be what you were expecting, but the Retrospec app seems harmless even if it's a bit unusual. With the power necessary to help combat the flames, perhaps you're the type who isn't even worried about what's happening. There's a job to do, after all.
Upon opening the app for the first time though you'll receive a message from a user named Z.C.
You're probably confused right now and I get it, this is really confusing. I was confused, too. But you have to be on-guard. Looks like you're a fresh target.
That's an ominous warning, and yet nothing comes from it for several days. In fact, it isn't until the 25th that those words hold some weight. It seems that there's someone out there who doesn't feel like you belong. No matter where you stand or what's happening for you at that given moment, at the stroke of midnight a large crater will open beneath you and swallow you whole, sending you straight down. The fall feels endless but as you land you'll find yourself standing on barren, gray ground surrounded by a black night sky, spiderweb cracks spreading from the center and moving outward. The world around you is dark and above you you can hear the sounds of the city and the people in it. The sounds of your fellow app-users combatting the wall of fire and even some of the ongoings of what's happening to them beyond the doors echo in this dark chamber.
The space around you is dead. There isn't a single sign of life sans what looks like a large, 80-foot whale skeleton. Even that appears abandoned, though there are footprints in the dirt near the creature's mouth. You aren't the first to arrive, but getting back will be the trick of it all. Someone wants you hidden away, but finding a clever way to reach out to those in the layer beyond will grant you an exit. Shouting, throwing items on hand, anything you can think of to create a diversion and draw attention to yourself may help. The louder you are, the thicker the cracks in the sky grow. It'll take a combination of people working below and people working above to break this barrier. Don't be afraid to reach out. It may be your only way back home.

BONUS.
The firewall gave a good effort, but in the end the power behind the Retrospec users was too much to sustain it for long…or was it? On the 31st the rest of the firewall seems to crumble and turn into smoke and ash as though the force holding it up cut its losses and quit. Several wolf-shaped figures appear from the smoke and surround the city, spreading ash as far as the eye can see before running off in the direction of Magatus. A sharp crackling noise like glass shattering rings through your ears and the wall and the layer below disappear for good. Congratulations, users. It seems as though you've broken down the barriers standing in your way.
However…there's still the matter of all of this ash and dust to take care of. Grab a broom, a dustbuster or a friend. It's time to do some major clean-up on the city and get it back to normal.
For those who venture to Tisse though, looking up to the very top of the towers will show a set of windows that have been dark and dimmed for several months. As the night wears on, however, the lights begin to flicker on until the entire floor is lit. There isn't any way up to the top of the building just yet, but for every light that comes on it seems that the amount of ash lessens. Is there a correlation? Or is it just someone from above helping you out? Only time will tell.

TOO BAD HE'S FUCKIN' BROKE.
Still, doesn't hurt to ask--because he's really that hard-pressed for someone to step on him. No seriously, step on his back he's got a kink right between his shoulders he can't get ride of and it's probably from stress.]
Do you take payment plans
no subject
I do! Depending on the monthly pack, plus, all initial exams and first sessions are free! It’s been a few days considering too, but Retrospec users will be entitled to a symbolic price, if you guys can keep that a secret. You have enough things to worry about.
1/2
You're the first person to ever CHALLENGE my title, you know. Guess I'll have to take you up on that. The comment's appreciated, though~
[But Crow's not going to say no to a deal on massage therapy, no siree.]
You've got me convinced--consider me a converted customer. My back's been knots for the past few weeks with this whole fir--
2/2
[She seems. Very familiar with Retrospec already, so he wasn't going to say anything...but he's never seen a name like this pop up before.]
no subject
I wish I had, but, I haven’t! It’s only been a few days. Either that or I’m not recalling, which can be possible?
There’s been so much to read, it’s slipped my mind. I’m sorry about that!
no subject
Makes you look like a veteran in no time flat
But as for that game--how about when this whole fire ordeal is over with? Raincheck sounds so ironic to say right now
no subject
Have you been helping with putting things out, directly?
no subject
I mean, if so, kinda hard to deny it now
Yeah, I've got some ice powers that have been helping, but between that and running around making sure no one's getting heat stroke... it's been quite a ride
no subject
You can conjure ice?
no subject
Though it's kinda wearing on my finally. Don't think my magic was meant to be used this constantly
That's where the magic of coffee comes into play
no subject
Aha. Coffee, the magic bean. The little voice that tells you to gogogo when you don’t even have gas left! That makes motors give out, you know.
Let me ask you something! Would you mind coming in today after you’re done? Magic, in the end, is energy, and I’d like to offer a proper refuel.
no subject
[But he has to admit, her offer does sound enticing.]
I'm actually just restocking my first aid kit so...think I could pop on over in a few?
no subject
We haven’t even met yet and I’m doing that thing! It’s a force much greater than I, I’m sorry.
Please do if I haven’t frightened you off! The door slides open.
no subject
Besides, all my friends say I sound like an old man...and they're probably right
Where'd you say this place of yours was? I can pop over in a tick
no subject
[ location ping! ]
I will see you in a tick, Big Deck Energy.
no subject
[And he does! It really doesn't take him to long to find the place, his hands in his pockets and an exhausted, but nevertheless happy look on his face..
Even just an examination of how many knots in his back exist would be amusing in itself.
He doesn't hesitate to walk through the door.]
Hello~?
no subject
You’re even younger than I assumed, look at your face! So youthful! [ she says it with kindness and affection, coming over to greet him better and extend a hand. ] Welcome.
[ and welcome to petal flow ]
no subject
He's just gonna stop himself there because. Yeah. Wow.
Thankfully, unlike Rean he can compose himself after a second, smirking and offering his hand out warmly.]
Heh, you're the first! All my friends go on about what an old man I am.
But I could say the same about you, miss~. Why, I'd say you can't be much older than I am.
no subject
ahmi laughs, a bit more hardier now as she comes over to shake his hand. ]
I do not wish to be! I’m happy at fourty-three, child. [ her, hand, if he chooses to take it— is very loving! ] What is your name?
no subject
Eternal youth is real folks.
Still, he'll take that hand and smile, head tilting to the side just a bit.]
The name's Crow, like the bird.
Crow Armbrust. Pre-EMT in training so...you can probably guess why I'm here in THIS situation.
And you are...Amhi, right?
no subject
Ahmi Okelani, but there is no need to call me Miss. It makes me feel too young.
[ she would be glade to offer such relaxation. gesturing to the nearby hall, he begins leading him to the work room. ]
You help people! And of course— you need someone to help you once and a while.
no subject
After that handshake, he'll give his fingers a light little stretch above his head.]
Heh, you got me pinpointed. I'm used to doing things on my own so this is usually more of a last resort kind of deal...
But I figure since it's just wall to wall flames outside, I should be in my best shape.
[As she gestures, he'll just start down the hall.]
