A lot of things.
Everything that's been happening.
We were just having a good time at the convention....and then all of this had to happen, and now one of my closest friends is gone.

yeah... a couple of mine too.
this has never happened, and i'd be lying if i said i wasn't worried...

Do you think they're gonna be okay?
I'm so scared...
What if they're...actually...you know?

you can't think like that

[that's quick. his next message is slower as he tries to figure out the exact wording... to make it seem like that isn't his exact fear]

we remember them. they've got to still be here somewhere.

You're right.
I shouldn't be thinking those kinds of things...
We need to keep on believing they're alright. We'll find them. Once all this group stuff is over, I want to help look for them.

yeah...
maybe this group stuff is part of finding them. who knows.

anyway... after this is over, i'm gonna pick up some of those comics.

You think so?
Even if it's just a possibility, I'm definitely gonna work ten times harder now!
We're bringing them back no matter what!

Are you really??? Yes! What kinds of comics are you thinking of reading?

i don't know... but i don't see why they'd put us into groups otherwise.
there's a lot we don't know yet

i was thinking of getting sparrowman... that sounded pretty cool when i looked it up online. do you read that one?

I know. It's frustrating. Someone once told me they refused to cooperate with Retrospec but...do we really have a choice?

No, not yet! But he seems super cool based on his appearances in Wonder Gal! I think that one's my favorite btw

until something changes, we really don't have a choice. how is your group, anyway? i hadn't met anyone except prompto in my group. they're an... interesting group.

ok. so wonder gal. any spot i should start with?

Same here. My group's...pretty interesting, but we're all getting along, I think! It's kind of nice.
Where are you guys, anyway?

The very beginning, of course!

we're in the subways... lots of monsters down here. i got attacked by these weird babies and zombies. don't... punch zombies. at least not with your real fist.

aren't there a lot of beginnings?

What
Zombies?? Oh my gosh! You didn't get bitten right?

Yeah but I'm talking about the veeeery beginning!
Or you can watch the show, which is pretty true to the comics. But it's really far behind.

no! though i told prompto i did. he's... kind of mad at me right now.

alright, veeeeeeery beginning it is. i'll let you know what i think once i get caught up. i have a lot of down time on nightshift.

1. I have a funny story about Prompto.
2. I'd be mad at you too! >:(

Cool! Tell me if you like it; she's really badass and I admired her a lot as a kid. Still do. She's...kinda my inspiration when I'm fighting monsters and stuff.

:( i learned that pretending to go gray doesn't lighten the mood. turns out, it works better as a joke if people aren't freaking out about real zombies.
also
what's the story

and okay... but are you saying you fight monsters regularly?

Um yeah?! I can't believe you! I would've freaked out so much, you're lucky he didn't beat you up or anything! Or did he?

I met Prompto because he randomly asked me if he was kidnappable or not. I have no idea what that's supposed to mean,
but way to make a first impression, right?

Now I am! I just fought these three demon thingies, ran into a weird cow with like five arms... I don't know...

no, but i got hit by a bunch of stone babies later, so i think it evens out.

he asked me the same thing, and i know him. i also know why he was asking-- it was because of some dumb bet he had going. we had a long talk about how easy it is to misunderstand texts like that.

you have anything to fight with?

That's pretty funny to think about, but are you okay?

That's one strange bet... How do you know him?

Yup! I got a superpower! So that makes me even more like Wonder Gal, right? It's like...a weird shadow blast or something.
I don't know what it's called but it's really coming in handy.

yeah, i'm fine. we ended up having to destroy a power station in the subway though, so i guess they're not going to be up and running for even longer now.

anyway, i've known prompto for years now. since high school at least. we were always okay friends, but i think everything that's happened has made it a lot easier to talk to him. and yeah, he made a dumb bet, but it fits in with what i know about him.

i have... wax armor and a bat that can find people

Oh wow, how come? We're trying to turn the power generator on again where I am.

I agree that seeing people you've known on Retrospec kinda...brings you closer to them? I wound up speaking to a lot of my high school classmates that I never spoke to before because of Retrospec. Honestly...I didn't really have many friends before all of this happened. Is it bad that I'm thankful for Retrospec for that?

Whoa! You have a bat? I got this little slime thing. I don't know, it just sort of hops around. I haven't tried using it on anything yet...

i don't have a weapon... and the steel pipe we had was getting really bent out of shape. i still kind of have a headache from them hitting me in the head. so we just used their momentum against them.

we're trying to open a door so the power isn't that necessary.

it's not bad. i wouldn't have met a few people i'm good friends with now, if not for retrospec. outside of prompto and my brother, i didn't have a lot of friends either. i guess it's the one positive thing i've seen for sure.

yeah, but i haven't had to use it yet. no one's gotten lost. do you know what your slime does?

Really? You're trying to open a door, we're trying to power a generator... I wonder what this is all gonna lead to. Maybe where all the missing people went? Like, a secret passage or something?

Yup! The one positive among all the...negatives. Like the weird people who work there, the invasion of privacy... But at least the other people using it are really awesome so far.

Nope. No idea. It's really...cute? Maybe it turns into a weapon?

i don't know. you're the first person i've talked to in a different group. might not be a bad idea to get a sense of what's going on with the other groups. but retrospec feels like a ghost town right now.

"you might be crazy, but at least all the people are awesome" is a pretty good summary of where we're at. how long until facebook tries stealing that, huh?

you should test it. that way it's not surprising, whatever it does

[ aw. that was nice of him, to check on her like that, she thinks, smiling a little at her phone. ]

It really does with all the missing people. Plus I think everyone's busy trying to do all this group work and figure things out. Have you been able to catch a break yet? Well, I guess you are now since you're talking to me and stuff, but you know.

That should be their slogan honestly!

Okay you know what? I'm gonna test it out right now and I'll tell you what the results are.
