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! Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated 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.

What are you talking about the world going flat?

[parodeity]

idk it seems like a thing that is stupid enough to come true you know
like
shit i guess you werent around three months ago when suddenly
horses were no longer a thing
im resigned to shit like that being a thing and am taking bets on what everyone thinks the next bout of stupidity will be
like
we can put money on this it can net us some worth here

[matchbreaker]

[ Horses...? Why would horses not be a thing-

... Wait, what's a horse-

WAIT-

Wait that's- ]

My God, horses really don't exist do they?

[parodeity]

well not anymore they dont
but they did until february
and then suddenly they did not?
like remember how the mayor had this horse he loved so much
seabiscuit the bomb
sans the bomb
but anyway yeah remember how that used to be not a giant chicken
so do i
i miss those simple bygone days

[matchbreaker]

I do! Of course I remember that, he's had that horse for years now! But it was also a bird!

[ How does that make sense, how does this make sense, what... ]

[parodeity]

only since february
trust me
everyone on here literally had a conniption about it
mostly because
what the fuck

but a lot of us have i suppose attained a level of "oh whatever the fuck"
between hallucinomemories and everything else

[matchbreaker]

[ Okay from how he's typing he's a young man so: ]

Young man if you're going to play at being helpful, then explain it all clearly and concisely!

[parodeity]

yeah ok
which part do you want explained
like
idk do you have questions

[matchbreaker]

When did this begin and how did I not know about it?

How can some strange app change the world like that?

Let's start there.

[parodeity]

ok well
1) february and only people with the app notice jack shit
you didnt have the app until now i assume
so now you can notice shit
but before you couldnt

2) we have no fucking clue

[matchbreaker]

The world has been changing around everyone and erasing horses for over two months now?!

No, no, I know that is rhetorical.

Have things been dangerous before now?

[parodeity]

not like what people would usually define as dangerous i think
like
loss of sense of identity is dangerous if you think of it that way but no one is trying to stab you
so thats nice

[matchbreaker]

The earth being made flat would be exceptionally dangerous. If it's capable of that, what else have you encountered?

[parodeity]

yeah it would be
i mean mostly they seem capable of changing reality but have only used it for dumb shit so far
like
apples/oranges/lemons/limes
and how they are now
and the horse thing
thats it so far to my knowledge

1/2

[matchbreaker]

[ Oh my God, the fruits. The fruits. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ Okay no move passed that. ]

So what, this company is severely myopic?

Actually, is it a company, has it been Mr. Halloway talking to you before? Anyone else?

[parodeity]

the only other employee we know about is janet
who jim proposed to ftr
with a terrible youtube video
which he subjected us to?

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Why?

... No, she won't waste their time with that. ]

Regardless, what's he going on about secret societies about?

[parodeity]

oh that
im pretty sure hes referring to the meetups weve had off the network
to like
keep them from spying on us?
which i guess was a wasted effort to some degree

[matchbreaker]

Punishment needs to be exacted for meeting? We've been promised the right to that.

This gets more and more intrusive. Honestly.

[parodeity]

i mean
apparently his issue is that were being "boring"
which
screw you jim keep to your own business?

[matchbreaker]

Perhaps his proposal was rejected and he needs entertainment since?
