Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options.

Anyway, now that the copypaste part is out of the way! Jim here, requesting you guys make your secret meetings a little more exciting. It's not like you're not trying with the whole "let's meet off the network!" dealio, but I have some serious concerns. For one thing, no secret handshakes or phrases? Not even dramatic meeting locations? The trying rating is about half a star if that. And I'm almost bored to tears with the whole back and forth about what's going on. Not bored enough to give you a cheat sheet, but still. I can't get myself taken off surveillance duty, so at least try to make it a little more exciting!

You guys might like this wikihow. Later!

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 more than one month will find they can change their profile pictures; newcomers are locked into their first choice.

At various points throughout the day users will be sent images of themselves from behind, regardless of where they are. There doesn't seem to be any way to catch whoever might be taking and sending these, however, especially since being alone in a room doesn't seem to be a deterrent.

Like "a really bad anime."

Oh, boy. You have no idea how right you are.

The type that gets two seasons and three movies just to continue being awful.

Is this like a wide spread casting call for something similar?? I'm willing to believe it at this point.

You know at this rate, that would actually be a relief, if it was all just for a TV Show.

But that'd be too good to be true.

And I know I'm no actor so unfortunately they're probably planning something worse.
Considering how confused everyone seems about this I'm guessing contacting the authorities won't do any good, huh?

Nope, not a bit.

In fact they might just think you're crazy, which helps even less.

So basically we're supposed to approach this normally and act like everything's fine.

Okay.

If that's what we're supposed to be doing I've been doing a REALLY BAD JOB of it.

Well so far the only instructions he's given us is to not try making any secret handshakes or whatever.
Which is bull because that's appropriate for this sort of thing.

But what's the possibility that it'll just go away if everyone collectively ignores it?

My guess is something stupid will happen that we can't ignore.

At the beginning of March, a bunch of secrets that no one should have known (but I guess we know how, now, THANKS JIM) were getting spread through all sorts of means.
And reporters were hounding people down inquiring about our mundane personal life secrets.

That sounds more concerning than it does stupid.
Especially if they're spreading secrets that others shouldn't know? Unless everyone decided to come together and do that sort of thing, and I doubt that's the case.
