i don't know of any other mako on the network

last time i talked to him outside of pen's party, he was being sketchy and asking people that didn't know him to meet him in private for some sort of secret thing he wouldn't give any details on

isn't he the one that's supposed to be reminding us all about stranger danger

you have? i apparently haven't been paying attention. how long have you been connected?

[ladytakamaki]

Uhhh did you meet him?
What did he say? I'll ask him about it if you want. He'll probably tell me.

This would make my third month! I haven't made any posts on it so that's probably why you haven't seen me around.

[darkinferno]

hell no, this was only a couple weeks after retrospec first LAUNCHED, none of us knew each other or what this was all about, we were just told it was the last social media network we'd ever need and dropped into the deep end with the chocobos

i don't really care what it was about, it's not important now

you came on during july? that'd explain it, that was a pretty busy month

[And disappearing for most of August certainly didn't help him meet anyone new either!]

[ladytakamaki]

Oh...
He was probably...trying to find out what happened? I don't know, Mako's just awkward sometimes. But he's a good guy,
I promise.

Yeah, I did. The bingo stuff was going on? It was really hectic... How long have you been here?

[darkinferno]

i don't know about that, he was talking about needing ears, attached or unattached to a head

[Please let him misrepresent this conversation in the worst way possible.]

bingo month was probably the bet time to be added to the network, if IS any good time. at least it was kind of entertaining

i've been here since everything started back in february

[ladytakamaki]

What
Uhhh...okay? I'm confused, but okay.

Well that and I got to meet a lot of people, so it wasn't all that bad until last month...

Really? How was it back then?

[darkinferno]

you see why i didn't meet up with him

it wasn't that bad at first, mostly just annoying. none of us had any idea what was going on and that was when all the horses disappeared for chocobos

[He's glancing back at the first conversation he'd had with Ari when she'd been added to the network. Man, how everything he was telling her about seems tame now.]

this whole thing with texts misfiring happened in march too but it wasn't that bad. may's the first time i remember something really big happening, we all ended up doll-sized for a week or so

everyone else thought it was entirely normal, like you'd always needed three or four people to drive a car or pencils were bigger than you were

[ladytakamaki]

Yeah I get you now. Smh Mako... What was the context of that even supposed to be?

Ewww I want horses back :(

Omg I remember that! I can't believe I thought it was totally normal to be, what, 3 inches tall? So weird when I think about it... I'll never understand why this stuff happens.

[darkinferno]

who knows? maybe we'll see horses again sometime

maybe they'll come back like blue and green are

but i don't think ANY of us understand why all this is going on, even if retrospec knows they aren't telling us

personally i'm getting tired of always being in the dark

[ladytakamaki]

I heard that someone broke into the Retrospec building.
How'd that go?

[darkinferno]

hey why is it that you're automatically assuming i'm the one that did it

it depends on the trip though sometimes you get better results than others

[ladytakamaki]

I'm assuming you know about it, not that you did it!
But you know what? Now I'm thinking you actually did do it!
So, what did you find?

[darkinferno]

betrayed by my own skepticism

you're not wrong though

like i said it depends on the trip, when i went a few months back i just got kicked out of the building

in july we got into their intern's office and found a bunch of notes on hybrids and monsters

and a weird number of costumes that looked like they were being made for the con

[ladytakamaki]

So...we might not even find anything if we break in?

Do you still think it's worth a shot?

[darkinferno]

i think it's always worth a shot

if we don't go, we run the risk of missing something important. those notes togusa and i found about the monsters might have given us a leg up when everything happened

[ladytakamaki]

Okay...well... I'll definitely relay the message to the others.
Thanks, Dante.

And you guys didn't get in trouble for it did you?

[darkinferno]

only the time i tried to stay overnight to see if i could catch their employees going in and out

i woke up at 3 am to something dragging me upright and throwing me out of the building and locking the doors behind me

the other guy that went with me was stuck inside until they unlocked at 6

[ladytakamaki]

Whoa...you basically camped out there! That's pretty hardcore.
I'm impressed.

I guess you're a troublemaker, huh?

[darkinferno]

putting it that way makes it sound like i'm intentionally causing trouble

[Don't let him fool you, Ann: he is.]

it's more like i don't let things get in the way of doing what i want

[ladytakamaki]

And in the process, causing trouble, right?

[ said like a phantom thief. dante, you could be one of them! ]

[darkinferno]

hey if that's what happens along the way, that's not my problem

[DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM HE'S BAD ENOUGH ALREADY????]
