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.

IV. - TDMERS ONLY
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.

annndd I suck at making puns up.
[Yep, play on words, sometimes his sense of humour goes to dark places and isn't always context sensitive...his first fire-related joke, involved cooking someone...Yeah, that joke didn't go over well.
His smile gets bigger chuckling a bit]
Are you just warming up?
it's okay i am very much the same haha
Haha, yeah. With powers like that, especially, you wouldn't want her raining on your parade.
And yeah. Takes a little bit for the spark to ignite, you know?
no subject
[The ” mermaid” in question, actually a princess. He Just doesn't know that yet.]
Oh? Starting to get your flame on?
no subject
Heh... would you say she was smoking?
[why]
Yeah, you could say things are starting to heat up.
Friends who pun together, stay together :P
Hmmm, I don't know, I think she was smouldering more than anything.
You sure about that? Remember, only YOU can stop forest fires...literally.
no subject
Ooh. Now, that's a description I can get behind.
[This thread: In which a stupid pun conversation gets more out of Rean about his "type" than any desperate attempt his friends have made in the past two months.]
Haha. I may not trust myself with fire magic just yet, but I think I can smother the flames of a pun battle just as easily as I can stoke them.
no subject
Oh really? So what kind of mermaid is swimming in your head?
[Oh really? Al would feel so special if he knew.]
OOOH! are you SURE you want to word it like that?
no subject
Maybe a more mature kind of woman. Well-put together, a bit serious, but warm if you manage to get past all of that.
[...Rean, you're just describing Claire. You don't even remember her. You thirsty loser.]
What, don't trust me to light it up~?
no subject
I feel bad for her already.
[Al says teasingly]
With your super sense...I am surprised how you haven't killed anyone yet.
So actually, yeah I do trust you if this is how you feel all the time.
[He, only sort of means that...he seems like a nice enough guy though to him and they get along so, he wouldn't NOT trust him. But 100% trust...that's a ways away.]
no subject
[He knows it's teasing, though, because he's grinning right back.
As for the sensing, though...]
Ah... I guess? I don't know. For me, I guess it must not trigger quite as strongly? Or, rather... I think I kind of got used to feeling that way before I even noticed I had that sixth sense.
["So what's it like having a sixth sense, Rean?" "Oh, you know. Anxiety."
The feeling is mutual, though. There's no need to extend 100% trust to this person he just met, but for now, the alliance is working out well enough that there's no need to doubt him, either.
Except for the part where he tried to punch the waitress. Rean's still judging a little for that one.]
no subject
[Great, now Al is getting thirsty and is just smiling back. Even if he is practically dying from heat stroke and is drinking water like a fish.]
Seriously? Freak must be from my homeless days, always had to look out for people trying to kill me, rob me and what not.
I sometimes am just a little jumpy every now and then but...no where near what happened today, still feel bad about that actually.
[He says that casually. As if he were talking about the weather.
He IS omitting how the police were after him too so he couldn't trust a single person but... no need to inconvenience him with details like that.]
no subject
Ah, to be a literal blushing virgin.]
...ahaha. Maybe. But that kind of girl, I think I'd rather keep her on top...
[Ah, so that's what he's into.
As for the rest of that, though, Rean does falter. When it comes down to it, after all, he's a sheltered rich boy. He's never known any good reason to feel the way he always has.]
Ah... w-well. Maybe it is just that it resonates more strongly with you than it does with me. You've had more time on the app, after all, and that is pretty new to me, even compared to everything else.
[How do you respond to someone telling you they used to be homeless so casually. Is it okay to say "I'm sorry that happened?" What do? No one prepared him for this.]
Disney reference and I'm not ashamed
She would have the legs to make it quite the trip...I imagine.
[Al DID notice, and he's smiling about it, still talking with a playful tone
Al is also a virgin, he just doesn't mind talking about it a bit. But he won't push it any further than this.]
That may very well be true too. How long have you had the app for?
[He...doesn't know what to expect from people when he says he was homeless. He just throws it out there to try to explain why he acts the way he does.]
no subject
He doesn't really have any way to continue that, though. He's about reached his limit on perverted things he's willing to say out loud before he just explodes in sheer embarrassment, so he decides to focus on app talk instead.]
Since the end of November, when those doors appeared. So... two months, give or take. Really not that long, compared to some people here.
no subject
Ah, been here since the summer. All the colours of the world were gone when I first got on.
Paintbrush flew me to the top of a skyscraper, slapped me when I got scared.
no subject
Please let next month be easier, Retrospec, everyone is so tired.]
Woah...
[He just sighs, running a hand back through his hair.]
Jeez. The things they expect us to deal with... it's almost like they forget we're human beings with feelings and weaknesses or something.

that summer a classmate turned into a T-rex and almost ate me...
no subject
Does.
Does that classmate still turn into a T-rex, or was that a one time weird Retrospec thing?
no subject
Oh, and FYI, the "they can't see you if you stay still"
complete bullshit, they see you just fine.
Shove some M and Ms up their nose and you bought yourself some time.
snot covered...and in DESPERATE need of...like five showers, but alive.
no subject
I will... keep that in mind, though. Because unfortunately, that's the life we're living now, that I can't rule out the possibility that one day a T-rex may try to eat me.
[...He wonders briefly if it works with titans.]
no subject
I WAS pissed at first but then I realized if he "accidentally" almost ate me, if I get pissy and antagonize him he might try again...on purpose.
Not that I don't understand...I would rather not almost piss myself seeing a T-rex while taking a walk in the park.
Oh yeah!
For me, it's like
"Talking cat? Why not"
"Santa is legit? Sure, I've been possessed by a ghost so, why not"
no subject
[Man, though. What does it say about that relationship that the guy might have tried to eat Al again...]
...Oh. They have talking cats here, too? Apparently there was one in my past life, but...
...Actually, you know what, I shouldn't be surprised.
no subject
[They didn't even know each other yet when it happened...yeah, it was awkward, to say the least.
So Al learned to forgive him...out of necessity, he didn't want to give him a reason to eat him...even if the guy was a vegetarian.]
Yep! I only saw the one! I try to keep an eye out for my little buddy but I haven't seen him since.
I think I need to start watching some anime...if the entire city can be transformed into an 8-bit video game, why not anime logic?
no subject
...Aw, that's almost disappointing. I don't remember the one Elliot says was in my past life, but I have seen a picture of her at least.
[...! Wait. Did Al say anime? NERD MODE, ACTIVATE.]
Haha... if you're actually serious about that, I could probably recommend you some. It usually seems to me more like this place runs on RPG logic, though.
no subject
Like...they could probably turn the city into Candy Land and I would probably go like "Oh, sweet...freaking candy everywhere, now what do we need to do?"
[Al noticed his
total nerd mode activation sequencesudden enthusasim]Yeah, why not. I think I've heard that it can be over the top...but...with our lives how it is...probably SOMETHING from the animes might actually come up.
