[2] joint post!
Hi, everyone. Shirogane-san and I had an idea we wanted to approach the rest of you with. We were discussing the impact Retrospec seems to have on its users, and what we might be able to find out about that connection.
Thank you, Narukami.
Through all of the memory issues facing us, there seems to be one constant: the presence or absence of the Retrospec app. Those with the app on their phones have a certain memory, those without it have another. Logically, only one group can be right. Either horses and faceless fruit once existed, or they never have. One group has had its memories tampered with. Either Retrospec is the cause of this tampering, or it is inoculating us to it.
With that in mind, we’d like to ask for volunteers to cease all usage of Retrospec for one week. We know it’s a lot to ask, but no other normal activities should be restricted.
Indeed. And as a further control group, we’d like some other volunteers to refrain from using their phone at all during this time period-- this way, we can isolate if it is Retrospec, something else on our technology, or this hypothesis is completely false.
We don’t have any compensation that we can offer you for this experiment other than the possibility of answers. We hope this is compelling enough on its own, though if you insist on some kind of payment, we’ll try to think of something.
Knowledge is, ideally, its own reward. But yes. Something.
Let us know if you have any questions, and, of course, if you’d like to volunteer. Thanks for your time.
( ooc: you can check out ooc information about this post right on over here! in short, nothing will actually happen as a result of staying off the network. anyway, both yu and naoto will be responding to replies here! )

While I do want to join as a volunteer, I don't know if I can able to stay away from any computer for a while, considering that it may open the site by itself.
I can stay away from my phone for a while but most of my files for my lecture Powerpoint files came from my laptop after all.

It must be a clean break. Everything or nothing at all.

I'm sorry if I can't join your experiment, but I hope I can help you in any other ways as possible.
[Not to mention that he's also active in investigating the mysteries surrounding the Retrospec app as well.]

Besides, I already saw my friend signing up to volunteer for your experiment. Also, I'll try to find other willing users for it.
