So remember that talk we had where you said I was gonna remember losing my arm at some point
Retrospect took it one step further
Looks like you guessed right on your post

[ It's not even a text message. It's just a picture attached to an empty text message.

The image is a whole lot of different hues of blue paint splashes all over a big sheet of paper stuck on the wall, with some random images drawn with even more blue shades. ]

[ This comes only 5 minutes after James makes it home following the day's drama. ]

HELP
THE ARM FELL OFF
THEY KNOW

Hey Togusa uh

Weird question for you.

[It's late at night and Tatsuo is still half-groggy from waking up and realizing the dream he just had was actually another of Ikuo's memories. And a not very pleasant memory at that. The first thing he does is yank down his covers and make sure he's not actually bleeding anywhere. And the second thing he does is grab his cell phone to send a text to Togusa, briefly forgetting just how late it is.]

so he definitely got shot

[ On the one hand, the nightmares and things that the fog has brought, and the concern for people he has encountered in those times, have completely thrown him out of the loop. On the other, it's still his best friends birthday and Koutarou wouldn't miss that even though he sucks at birthdays. He even has prepared a present for him. And he calls when he knows Togusa isn't at work yet, but not so early that he'd still be asleep or half-asleep. ]

Happy birthday, Hitori!

I had another one of those hallucinomemories.

hey
lay off my dad
he has no idea what he's dealing with and that's the way i want it to be
so cool it

[Togusa will receive an invitation in the mail addressed to him! There's a note for him, too.]

Dear Togusa,

I know we haven't talked much since the mission Retrospec sent us on, but I hope that you'll be able to make it to the wedding. If you can, there's a possibility of Baren participating, and I'd appreciate an extra pair of eyes on him. He might get the idea to release a flock of doves inside the temple itself.

With warm regards,
Mikleo Lefay

[[part one, part two]]

[Togusa, you've got high hopes.

But Dante's response here is going to be delayed. Because he's been assuming they were going to shove all of this other him into his head from the start--he's been worrying that one day he'd wake up with Ansem in his head all over again. This possibility that Togusa's been refusing to see... it's the reality he's been facing for months now.

He's taking this private now, though. This isn't something he wants to be public knowledge. And so a few minutes later, Togusa will receive Dante's response via a more private channel of communication.]

why do you think i've been worrying so much about everything that happened in his past

if i wake up one day with ansem's voice in my head, i want to be ready, i don't want to roll over like he did and let him use me to attack the people i care about

I remember telling you that if I ever made a rookie cop mistake, I'd owe you a drink.

Hi Togusa!!!

Your assignment for Secret Santa is Mafuyu Kurosaki!!!

If you look at the sign up post you can find what sort of things she might like!!! And if you have any questions just text me!!!

Happy Holidays~

To answer your question, I am a sword.

[Surprise, Togusa! Mikleo is your Secret Santa this year! He'll get a neatly wrapped present with the following:

-A knitted scarf
-A pair of gloves
-A gun holster that's both functional and has a subtle design on it

There's also a note.]

Merry Christmas, Officer. I thought I'd get you something practical this year. I wasn't sure how old your holster is, but it's always good to have a backup, right?

Warm regards,
Mikleo Lefay

G'day. Why do you think this city is out to kill people?

Good news. He lives. Just remembered his partner dropping by to visit him.

[A text comes to you in the late afternoon of February 3rd. The sender's name has been encrypted and errors out and there are no signs of who the message belongs to. Clicking on the profile of this Retrospec user brings up a picture of the Retrospec symbol.]

How would you like to help us help you out? Your observation period's up and I want you on this particular assignment. You'll be fine, you're probably not going to die, and we'll be able to monitor you from here. We need help. You've got the skills needed even if you don't know it yet. I know it and that's what counts. You'll be working with a group (wish I could give you the names, still putting the lists together), but your assignment partner is Sora Pu'uwai. Should you choose to accept this assignment, you will need to meet at Peach Beach tomorrow morning and we'll go from there. You'll be rewarded for your success, of course, but this is only if we have an agreement. Do we have an agreement?

[No other messages will be sent from this account at this time.]

[ooc: Hello! You've been sorted into group 1. Your event log will go up at 9pm EST along with all of the other logs. We encourage you to read the main event log as well for more information about your recruiter and this note. In the meantime, head on over to this thread on the latest mod post to meet your teammates! Thank you!]

Officer Togusa, I need to ask you a favor.

Officer, one of the members of my group- A teenager, I should add- is reporting monthly occurrences of DV at his home. I know I'm not technically an officer myself yet, but I'm trying to get some information and encouraging him to file a proper police report. What else should I do?

IDK if you're getting any news updates out there, but... Yes, the chief is missing. No, you do not need to come back. I'm going to look into it with Baudin and whomever else I can scrounge up. Whatever you're doing out there, focus on that.

You're the person I need to talk to, right?

you know
one time in the war someone told me
me/him
whatever
someone told me "living with what you've done is the hardest part"
but i think he's wrong
the hardest part is living with knowing what you're capable of

[A link. And then, a couple moments later...]

if you defended me when furugawa made that comment about my parents shipping me off, you've gotta defend malik from this

it's not okay

[And if he says anything himself, things are only going to get worse.]

please

i just realized i can text you while drinking and you can't lecture me about being underage anymore

So, I'm going to talk to you and Tsu about what I missed. I figured that whatever I miss from one of you I can get from the other.

Your place or mine, because I feel like it's going to take a while.
