Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures; newcomers are locked into their first choice. Upon opening this entry at all, characters will find themselves spammed with notifications and strange glitched texts until they make some sort of suggestion for a new application feature on the Retrospec app. This can range from a personalized friends list to a watermelon image gallery to a watergun charging station. It doesn't have to make sense or be useful - it just has to be a suggestion, at which point the application will return to normal.

I should hope not. Where did you hear something silly like that? This downloaded to mine quite a bit more than seven days ago, after all.

[madcuriosity]

It was a movie one of the boys snuck in. It was awful! This girl slunked out of a well and then out of the television and killed whomever watched the video!

The sisters made the boys clean the entire church pews by themselves when they heard all the crying it caused.

But... it's not true is it? She's not REALLY real?

[true_noir]

I certainly think not. That sounds like a bad horror movie, and those are never true, not in the slightest. No, it is just a bad application that has downloaded itself onto your phone.

It might be a virus. We aren't sure.

[madcuriosity]

Goodness! Everyone has it on their phones, then?

[true_noir]

No, actually only a select number do. Maybe a hundred? I haven't counted yet, but it isn't nearly everyone in town. I'm quite certain of that.

Do you remember horses?

[This was getting to be a test question at this point for her.]

[madcuriosity]

Oh... Well, a hundred or so is still a very big number, now isn't it!

Oh! Did you notice that as well! All the picture books that have horses are gone! Even the fairytale books, it's not a knight o a white horse, anymore, it's a white chocobo! But no one even remembers horses, it seems!

My counselor says I'm making them up, but I've made plenty of creatures, but I know there were horses in my story books.

[true_noir]

This is just a suggestion, but if they do not have this app, I would not speak of horses to them. They may think that you are crazy. It has happened to a few of us.

[madcuriosity]

Oh... Well, a lot of the kids already think I'm a little mad.... I suppose I shouldn't mention it, then. I don't like to be considered mad.

[true_noir]

I cannot see why. You were perfectly well mannered when we last spoke. But yes, it is better not to get them too worried. I do not speak with my family about this either.

[madcuriosity]

It's because I visit the counselor every week and a psychiatrist.

[true_noir]

There is hardly anything wrong with that, even at your age. But people do like to make assumptions, do they not?

[madcuriosity]

I know... I mean, I like my psychiatrist and counselor, they're some of the nicest people I know. But that's why they think I'm mad, you know.

[true_noir]

They think you are mad because they are nice? I do not think that I quite follow the logic there, or am I misunderstanding you? I sometimes do that.

[madcuriosity]

You're misunderstanding quite a bit. They think I am mad because I go to them, not because they are nice. Only mad people go to psychiatrists and counselors, so they think.

[Or people who witnessed their own parents death in a car crash while being stranded in a new country for months without any known living relative.]

[true_noir]

Oh, ok. No, that makes more sense. I was just confused for a moment is all. I hope that can stop treating you that way, but it is hard to change people's minds.

And this nonsense does not help, does it?

[madcuriosity]

They won't I don't think. But even though I don't want to be thought of mad, there's simply no helping it.

And no, not really, but it's not anyones fault... well, I suppose it is the apps fault.

[true_noir]

And eventually, you will no longer share their company, so nothing is forever. But, yes. Let us blame the app and its company. That seems simple enough, not to mention true. Much of this is their fault.

[madcuriosity]

Oh ah, I know nothing is forever. [Like the sense of family or home.] Has anyone been able to actually talk to them?

[true_noir]

No. In fact, none of us have yet met one of their employees ever. Their office is empty and strange, and they do not return calls. They only send us things and invade our lives for whatever strange design that they have.

[madcuriosity]

Maybe they're like meerkats and disappear whenever someone approaches. Or oh! Perhaps they only work at night!

[true_noir]

And now you have put the image of meerkats running this business, with their little thief mask faces, all popping their head up to hide if someone comes before returning to their work at the keyboards.

It would explain far too much. I like this image.

[madcuriosity]

I quite like it too! It certainly makes the thought of this company more pleasant, wouldn't you say?

[true_noir]

It definitely does not make it less pleasant. I would think that it should be good for a little bit of humor. Sometimes, we have to laugh at the things that bother us.

[madcuriosity]

And goodness is this quite the bothersome thing! I do wonder if this shall be fixed.

[true_noir]

I would suggest that you prepare yourself for a lot more humor to deal with the problems. They will not be going anywhere soon, and even when they do, there is bound to be something new, is there not?
