Greetings, Users. Our system may be experiencing some residual glitches from a recent network malfunction. Our technical team is working on getting these issues under control. Please direct any concerns in the meantime to the HR department at humanresources@retrospec.com. Our staff has furthermore noticed a significant increase in tags and trends for #aprilfools and #pranks. Keep on your toes and be certain to tag your best tricks for Retrospec™! 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. Any emails sent to the HR department will be returned with a failure to send notification, and will furthermore automatically be posted to the Retrospec network. Oops? Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures. Glitches will be in effect until the 15th and may include: -Usernames changing to a cat, dog, or bird pun. -The Retrospec application being changed into a neon color + animal theme of some variety. -Notifications going off at random and being unable to be turned off. -Various "special effects" crossing the screens when people comment. -Users having to beat a level of pac-man to access the application, and then being made to beat a new level every hour to keep using the application. -Thomas the Tank Engine memes being sent to users every hour for some reason. -Profile pictures being replaced by pictures of rabbits and easter eggs. -New creepy pasta stories appearing upon log-in, to be forwarded to someone before the app can continue to be used -Parental lock and auto-correct on cursing (i.e. fuck -> duck) -A parade of pixel Chocobos or dancing fruit scrolling across the screen after each comment posted

BlakKat It is an improvement.
BlakKat At least we are no longer under our actual name.
BlakKat Though I am a little confused by this video game entry.
BlakKat All of this is almost harmless, just irritating.

[aegist]

Cindy Clawford i guess some peopel are bad enough at pacman it makes it hard?
Cindy Clawford also some people still have their real names weirdly.
Cindy Clawford i don't get this at all.

[true_noir]

BlakKat Or some of us are new to the game in the first place, like myself.
BlakKat And I suppose there is nothing to get.
BlakKat It is the April Fools day, and they are simply pranking us.

[aegist]

Cindy Clawford so you have hopes this ends tomorrow.
Cindy Clawford god i hope so?
Cindy Clawford let this not be fruitgate 2.0.

[true_noir]

BlakKat If it is fruit related, it won't be as terrible as other options.
BlakKat It has not attempted to bevvy us with terrible songs, after all.
BlakKat Though I am about ready to change the locks on my home.

[aegist]

Cindy Clawford ??? why change your locks?

[true_noir]

BlakKat I found a knife in my underwear drawer, and I do not own a knife.
BlakKat Well, not like this one anyway. Cutlery doesn't count.
BlakKat With a deadbolt in my home, I am needless to say concerned.

[aegist]

Cindy Clawford oh. that's weirdly intrusive. nice job, retrospec.

[true_noir]

BlakKat Extremely intrusive, though it did not feel entirely out of place.
BlakKat A bit like hiding a gun under the pillow.
BlakKat Though that in and of itself is worrisome and weird.

[aegist]

Cindy Clawford ok, but normally you would be hiding a weapon yourself.
Cindy Clawford for it to not be entirely out of place i mean.

[true_noir]

BlakKat This is the strange part of it, yes.
BlakKat It is like they are trying to put things in my home that feel more or less like they were where I would put them.
BlakKat At least if I owned one, properly.
BlakKat Almost as if they want me to believe that I simply forgot that I owned them until now.

[aegist]

Cindy Clawford do you remember owning it?

[true_noir]

BlakKat Not exactly, but I feel like it is mine.
BlakKat Perhaps I will remember in time, as I did with other items in the past.

[aegist]

Cindy Clawford well that's as ominous as everything else going on here.

[true_noir]

BlakKat Knowing that I am going to remember something to do with a throwing knife, complete with my other strange visions?
BlakKat This is not ominous at all.
BlakKat It is, how do you say, ducking terrifying?

[aegist]

Cindy Clawford fucking terrifying but i assume you're swear locked like a bunch of other people?

[true_noir]

BlakKat Not merely in English, but in French as well.
BlakKat They appear to have been very thorough with me this time around.
BlakKat It's quite ridiculous.

[aegist]

Cindy Clawford maybe its in all languages if you have it then?

[true_noir]

BlakKat I think it is possible, yes.
BlakKat Though perhaps they don't know how to do it for some of the more unusual languages?

[aegist]

Cindy Clawford Weird. Anyway, I should get going, so I'll talk to you later.
