 		 The Repository
(SPOILERS!!! DON'T LOOK IN HERE. IT'S MUCH MUCH BETTER THAT YOU GET TO THIS POINT ON YOUR OWN)
Now that we have access to the repository we can start joining forces again. We kinda split off and formed little treehouses for the sake of developing our mix tapes and stories but i feel like that started to split us up as a community.

now that we're in the repository the forks in the road, as it were, can junction back into a single highway of the mind and we can continue our thoughts and ideas like we were in the trail head thread.

For obvious reasons links to the repository won't be shown here but we can continue to use this forum as a platform for discussing what happens next without holding back in the trail head thread or spoiler-tagging everything we do.

I hope i'm not taking too big of an initiative here but i feel strongly that we need to come back together and start talking as a whole and i donno how effective that'd work with just the contact list in the repository.

 		breach.mov
ok i have a few notes about the video Breach.mov. i guess it answers the question where the initiation forms came from but it doesn't really say why they're not removed and even more so why they're even mentioned in the induction video if not to tell people not to read them (also she must be coming back to refill them or something). this is unless the real induction form originally had instructions to get you to join the JI and not take you through the clues left behind by the EPWA. this also still doesn't explain why, if the JI AND the EPWA are getting the whole nonchalant thing wrong, why eva would place those fliers for them and not for something that more directly gets you to know about nonchalance.

Another thing that puzzles me is the VHS tape she places behind/in the desk. What is it? Is it an edited version of the induction video? she couldn't be installing it because the player isn't in that room (if anything it could just be playing a DVD from the tv itself since that model contains a built in player). i've been through those drawers and they're empty. hell i even went back today and checked it out and still nothing. i do have to say that though the drawers on the left side are open, they're locked on the right side. i couldn't for the life of me find a switch or key hole anywhere that might open them either. something makes me think it needs a magnetic switch to open... but i digress...if it's not an edited version of the induction video what is it? will we ever see it?

she also seems to mess around with the device on the bottom left hand corner of the bookshelf (oscilloscope?). i see her take out a screwdriver of sorts but it doesn't show what she's doing. either because they cut that bit out of the video or she's just super fast.

also at the very end of the video she seems to shift back into a corporeal state and become solid again. (meta: or was that just an editing flaw?)

so i wonder what this means and if it's going to come up any time in the future.

But if the forms were changed, how would Octavio Coleman, Esq. even know about the modified forms in the video?

Something tells me this discrepancy will never have a logical explanation, and we shouldn't worry about that.

Word. I just figured that her switching the video was like her switching the homeroom announcement cassette that one time at Galileo.

Also, squadron-wise, Egg Slap says hey, what's up?

I've received two! Both unsigned. If one was yours, I thank you. If yours was the one that involves collaborative reading, I am rightly tickled.

 		Another Crossbonesian here, happy to have joined the ranks.

It's nice to be completely (or as much as possible) up to speed on the world of Nonchalance. I heard talk of postcards but this does not ring a bell with me. Might this be related to certain societies? I met many of you on Monday (7au, sorry to be another Jason) and certainly hope to partake in the Games with you again.

The breach video was an interesting piece. The origin of the initiation forms always puzzled me, and while this video takes a stab at answering my questions I feel as though I have only been presented with more questions. All I can say at this point is that Eva is a mysterious creature.

he wouldn't have known about it. this is why i think that if the forms were changed that the original initiation form was actually something that supported the JI and not something that led you on the path it does now. the reverse psychology in the video was there the entire time but for a different reason. if you think about it, as long as the survey stub was unchanged, it's possible that no one at the JI would know that the initiation form was altered.
