[recollecters]

Hello Users, For those of you who are new: 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. 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. For all, new and old: Please be advised that should you go above and beyond the call of duty for Mr. Halloway's little game in the coming days, there may be a reward granted or information given. 100% completion would be the goal for that, should you have an interest. If you have no interest in the matter, please feel free to carry on as usual. R&D will not be handling further communiques for this month, or possibly the next few months. This should not, of course, have any impact on your usage of Retrospec™. The first milestone for the second of the colors lost has been met, and accordingly we have diverted resources to fix what could be fixed. R&D has alerted me that a bigger loss may occur in the near future, and I would advise you to be careful, though I am afraid neither they nor I can be much more detailed than that. Finally, I would like to extend congratulations to those of you who have now reached your sixth month. We hope you will continue to accept our assistance in these trying times. Thank you for your patience, Janet Wiseman Human Resources Retrspec Incorporated As of this post green fruits and flowers of this color regain their pigment. (Note: this is not all plants. This is just for flowers and fruits!) 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. Any new characters will find that the first photo they upload is locked as their profile picture for the rest of the month. Characters who have been in game since February will find their profiles now have a 6 months badge. It does absolutely nothing of note.

[ ... likes cats and roller coasters ... ]

... have you met my brother?

And to be honest, it's creepy. The lack of colors, I mean. You don't really get used to it, but you have to carry on anyway.

[maskreant]

[ What kind of hole has he dug himself into... He doesn't recognize this name, either way. ]

i don't think so. Recolle is a big place.

yeah. usually, the clear blue sky lifts up my spirits throughout the day, but with it being grey i kind of want to nap all the time. at least it sounds like they're working on it. fingers crossed.

[covenantal]

You should. I think you'd get along. His name is Souji. We're twins.

"Working on it" ... that's probably pretty relative. Still, it's something I'd like to work towards, if we somehow can. I think it would give everyone hope, to have the blue sky back.

By the way, life here is extremely anime. Sorry.

[maskreant]

does he have six cats? just a guess.

while blue flowers and fruit seem like a small step, better than nothing. look to tomorrow, keep your mind open, and all that.

it's all right. i'll start running to school with buttered toast in my mouth. perfect.

[covenantal]

... already heard about him?

Yeah. We will. All of us, together, we'll change things.

To be honest with you, it's way more anime than that. People have been discovering powers. Actual superpowers. The supernatural isn't too strange to us anymore.

[maskreant]

one of his friends just told me about him. are you still going to try to pitch your brother, anyway? maybe something better than a nice dude with six cats, totally not a cat lady.

oh, right. i forgot about that. let me redo it. i'll start running to school with buttered toast in my mouth, but i'm running late. i tap into my need for speed and make it in record time. perfect.

[covenantal]

Haha. The cat thing does come up a lot. We're kind of known for it. (=ↀωↀ=)✧ But, my brother is an amazing person I admire. He's strong and kind, the sort of person who can support others with a smile on his face no matter the situation. Being around him is fun and exciting, and he can always make another person feel at ease. He likes gunpla and magic tricks, and the happiness of others matters to him more than anything.

[ More than his own happiness, Yu thinks but does not say. ]

... your "need for speed"? How does that power work? Do you sprout wings from your feet and fly?

[maskreant]

[ Oh... well, despite all of this being a joke, it's heartwarming to hear that such a person exists. Also all this praise from a sibling. It makes him a little jealous that he's an only child. ]

he sounds like an amazing person and that's why i'll have to pass. he deserves someone just as amazing, someone that can bring him the happiness he likes cherishing in others. i'm sorry, but i'm sure he'll find that person. fate works in strange ways, after all.

it's a secret. if you knew, then i would need to silence you.

[covenantal]

Don't worry about it. I wouldn't seriously try to set my brother up with a stranger he's never met without his express permission. But, you asked, and I wanted to share my feelings. Maybe it's just a natural way for a twin to feel. Still, though, that's kind of you to say about him. I'm sure he will, too.

Σ(゜ロ゜;) You'd take me out? Scary. Maybe you're not the superhero, but the supervillain.

[maskreant]

true. i was ready to question your sanity in a couple more replies. anyway, i'll remember your undying devotion to your brother, don't worry. fingers crossed on fated lovers, though. ganbatte, Narukami-kun 2.0!

a supervillain... that doesn't sound too bad.

[covenantal]

Sanity? Hmm. Maybe I am going a little insane after a few months with Retrospec... there may be no saving me now. I'll pass your well wishes along to my brother as my final act in this world, and then disappear into self-imposed exile.

I see... then I know what I must do. I must be the one to stop you.

[maskreant]

i knew ye for a couple of minutes, but you will live on in the memories of the people as a good man and redeemable brocon. some may even wait years, hopeful for your possible return.

also, i would like to see you try.

[covenantal]

Perhaps... perhaps someday I can return. Though I have no place asking this of you, please look after the people I love in my absence. You're the only one I can rely on.

Is that a challenge? You underestimate my skills to your own peril.

[maskreant]

the journey continues
