Not a whole lot. We know the names of three employees right now - Janet Wiseman in HR, Jim Halloway in R&D, and Maurice who also might be in R&D? - and they've all contacted us at least once sans Maurice but have never carried on a conversation really. They seem to know what's up, but they...may or may not be the cause? It's not super clear. At least they do seem to be able to trigger memories, and they are the ones who send us items from time to time.
Ok, so, that's ridiculous since that's like the first warnin' people should give out on here. But basically, dependin' on if you believe it or not - there is some debate always - we may have had past lives. I'm on team that bein' a thing, for the record. And occasionally you will experience vivid flashbacks of said life if...stuff happens to make that come back to you. You may also experience physical changes and superpowers, but that shit usually doesn't happen until month two or so.
[Faolan does his best to try and process this, though it's a lot to take in. Not only does he suddenly remember colors that he had somehow forgotten before, but now they are experiencing, what. Flashes of memories of a past life? It all sounds a bit much, truth be told. Especially when the topic of 'superpowers' starts to get thrown into the mix.]
Superpowers. Like, what. You're trying to tell me that there are people in this city with extraordinary abilities who can... [Faolan struggles for the right words.] Fly or, I don't know. Stop a speeding train with their bare hands? X-ray vision? It all sounds a bit...
[The look on Faolan's face right now, if only it were visible. Sure you can, Dave. You started out this conversation asking him if peacocks qualify as rave turkeys or not, forgive him for not quite having confidence in you.]
You're having me on. Taking the piss. Memories of past lives, super powers, peacocks, the lot of it.
Trust me, when I joke around with people it's generally not about shit that'd fuck with their sense of reality. If you ever want a demonstration, I'll give it, like I said.
Look, I. I'll need some time to process it all, but I'll let you know. I may even take you up on that. It all just sounds a bit mad. You have to realize that.
I moved here when I was eight. It just didn't start bein' a thing for anyone until back in February. As to that company, I'd swear that buildin' weren't here much longer than that.
Not really. I mean, they contact us at least once a month with like a post to the network, but they never respond to anythin' said on those posts. So "explanations" are in short supply...there's only been like, one contact outside of that and it was kind of dumb?
Like, she sent a letter to one of the Narukami twins tellin' them to help host a pageant? A Mr., Miss, and crossdressin' one. The winners of each category won a memory apiece.

Trigger memories...

No one has told me about the memories.
[Though he and Laurent have been experiencing very unusual happenings, of late. Happenings involving memories.]
What do you mean, trigger memories?

I can fly and I have super speed, so yeah, that is a thing I am sayin' is true. I can give you a demonstration anytime you want?

[Faolan's tone of voice in repeating the word suggests he has little hope of that happening for himself.
Okay, no, get it together Faolan. Ask some more useful questions before you lose this guy completely.]
Six months. Are you from out of town as well, then? Is this all specific to RecollΓ©? And that company here, who owns this app. Retrospec?

I assume there are more than that, but we don't know the names of any of the rest of them.
