Although ocular & brain implants are the means of communication nowadays, a messenger service still exists in this world. Mostly everyone uses LINE nowadays even if the need for cellular phones is null. Characters may have already recognized the interface to be somewhat familiar with the similar shade of green and same old slogan.
It happens the first time, and several times throughout the week as your character goes about their new routine. The sound of machine-like whirring, deep within their cranium, like a computer that’s in the midst of processing some new information. Then, there’s the familiar ping of a new public message, and whatever you were thinking about at that point of time will be plastered on the network, for all to read and react to. Daydreaming about ponies at work? Having a fun night out at a club? Regretting said night out at the club? Falling into a deep depression about how your life has turned out so far? It doesn’t matter when or where, because the system doesn’t discriminate. You’ll soon find the thoughts you were having during those moments posted on the network and it won’t be possible to delete.
"The system is updating … ... The system is updating … "
That’s the only explanation SYNTHIA will give when prodded or asked to take down a post. She’s not too helpful at this moment.
"Yeah, sorry. She gets temperamental like that sometimes. I can’t really do anything about your business being out there. But it’s pretty funny, right? Looks like you got hella wrecked last night. Good for you."
Welcome to our first Network Mingle! This is a TFLN-inspired mingle that’s been tweaked to make it completely canon to the game. Due to a glitch in the system, random thoughts that characters might be having throughout the week will be registered as network posts and posted in public for all to see and respond to. This can happen at any time as they wander around the main base or different Neo Tokyo locations!
HOW TO PLAY: 1. Write out prompts (example below) for others to respond to. These can be thoughts they’re having in bed, at work, while intoxicated or what-have-you. You can look up shower thoughts or TFLN as inspiration, but remember that this will be game canon so it has to be written in your character’s voice. 2. Go around and respond to others! 3. ??? 4. PROFIT!
Participation in this mingle isn’t obligatory, of course. If you don’t want your character to participate, you can simply assume the glitch did not affect them.
We also have a code below for fun, but please don't feel pressured to use it. As always, a regular text thread works out just fine! Most importantly, have fun!

Ah, yes, it would be best to discover that early on. While I found that most of my abilities have been retained, there are certain aspects that have been ... reduced, one could say.
I inherited an ability when I succeeded my predecessor. I had initially believed that perhaps the simulation could only contend with so much power, considering everyone who was present during the activity, but it's clear that it's not the one that caused the limit.
Hm. Since you said spirit, it's not likely to be a tangible limitation. Do they not have the capacity to maintain that much energy at one time? ...Is it because it was a companion and not innate power?
Maybe we all experienced side effects and just haven't realized it yet.
I've yet to consult the others from my world if the same has happened to them, but I would assume so. If I'm affected, then it would not be surprising if so are they.
That means we may potentially face unexpected drawbacks when we do have to face serious threats.
If their technology has such a heavy upper limit to complete transference, then at a certain point any advanced techniques will probably be considered useless.
I don't believe they would intentionally hinder their own progress, so there must be some fault in the system. Capacity seems like a reasonable assumption. We come from different worlds, so we may not all be compatible with whatever their technology does to us during the process.
If they intentionally meant to remove or control your technique, I would expect them to do the same to all of us and only allow us to act under their explicit commands.

No, and no scars.

What do you have in mind?

Unless you wish to do the simulation on your own without anyone's intervention.

It's just a personal deliberation of my own.

I haven't completely tested what I'm capable of doing.

We'll have to create alternatives.

It's a curious thing to limit, no? When our purpose here is supposedly to defeat monsters.
It makes me wonder if it's simply the incapacity of their technology or if there's something else at play.
