LOADING...OVERFLOW

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.

This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

Really? That's actually pretty awesome! What company do you work for? I might know the heir!

Huh...so just random bits of evidence that don't quite line up. I guess it's one of those things... We'll just have to keep looking for more.
vendettastool: (you cant)

[personal profile] vendettastool 2017-07-05 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
CUBEnix and I am actually the heir. This is my test to see if I can manage a company.

Pretty much. It's kind of a pain in the ass.
ladytakamaki: (all that you got)

[personal profile] ladytakamaki 2017-07-06 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you are? My bad! I'm thinking of a different company, obviously. Still, that's really cool, and a lot of responsibility!

Well...if I can help in any way, let me know how. I want to get to the bottom of this, too.
vendettastool: (sounds like)

[personal profile] vendettastool 2017-07-07 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, it's okay! Most people never realize that I'm that son of the Jin Group. There seems to be several different game companies in this city too, which is kinda cool.

I will, don't worry. In the meantime, you can also talk to Detective Kogusa more about this. He has other information and probably knows even more people involved with figuring this conspiracy out.
ladytakamaki: (to test my limits)

[personal profile] ladytakamaki 2017-07-07 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
The Jin Group? It...kinda sounds familiar. Have you been to any fundraising events in the past two years or so?

Oh, awesome! We have a detective on the case! I was worried there wasn't any law enforcement working on it...good to know that they are.
vendettastool: (get to work)

[personal profile] vendettastool 2017-07-07 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Me? Oh, yeah. Especially anything here in the States in the past four years. I'd been studying here so it was easier to just send me instead of Father making the trip all the time.

A couple, I think. Togusa has told me of a few others we can talk to regarding a few matters. There's people from all different areas of skills, though most people on here are on the young side.
ladytakamaki: (cause i'm a giver)

[personal profile] ladytakamaki 2017-07-07 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe that's where I've heard of you before! I've been to some with my parents myself, and of course there's a bunch of people from big corporations at those kinds of events!

Yeah. A bunch of my classmates are on here... How do you think they chose us? Was it totally random?
vendettastool: (sounds like)

[personal profile] vendettastool 2017-07-07 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
I hope it was nothing too bad, even though it probably is. who are your parents? Maybe I've met them before.

[ He's a player and has had a couple fights with girlfriends in the past - usually by them screaming at him while he just turns snarky fast. ]

I think there is some kind of link with us, not really a link by what realities we're seeing but maybe a more spiritual means. Maybe we have seen a glitch in the system or we've realized that we aren't just NPCs but player characters and there is a bleed through. Kinda like how in some stories there are people who live their lives in a virtual reality world and are starting to see the pieces behind that world. The app makes it more magnified and gives us methods to contact each other, but it doesn't mean that we're safe discussing a lot of things on here. It can just be another means to keep track of us.

ladytakamaki: (start what i finished)

[personal profile] ladytakamaki 2017-07-08 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
My mom's Katie Takamaki. She's a pretty popular actress. My dad's a musician, his name is Hiro Takamaki. Don't worry, I haven't heard anything really bad about you or your company.

I get what you're saying, but I don't think I ever knew that there was something wrong with the world up until I got the app.
Or...maybe I have and I just don't remember? Well, either way, we're all definitely noticing these things now. Though to think that we were all brought here because we all had something in common...it's...kinda crazy to think about.
vendettastool: (what is this)

[personal profile] vendettastool 2017-07-08 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Wow, they're a really nice couple, though I don't think we ever really properly met. I'm surprised about that last bit; I'm kind of a troublemaker according to my Father.

I figure that there has to be a trigger, something that just made the app appear. I can't think of any other reason why we would be picked otherwise. We're too diverse of a group otherwise.
ladytakamaki: (skin to skin)

[personal profile] ladytakamaki 2017-07-09 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'd say I could introduce you, but I'm not living with my parents right now. They're preeeetty busy, anyway. But nope! Didn't hear anything about you being a troublemaker, no worries! I'll be the judge of that myself.

Yeah...and it feels like we make up half the city. Or...okay, that's over the top, but you know what I mean.
vendettastool: (not doing that)

[personal profile] vendettastool 2017-07-10 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, same with me introducing anyone to my Father. He's busy too, though the distance is also a factor. That's good! I'd hate to start meeting someone new on a bad footing.

We're just vocal. But I know what you mean. There seems to be a large number of people on here then you would expect.
ladytakamaki: (cause it's my business)

[personal profile] ladytakamaki 2017-07-11 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's nice to finally meet you! Yoon-sung, right>
I'm Ann.

Yeah, waaaay more people. There must be at least a hundred people on here, yeah?
vendettastool: (some relief)

[personal profile] vendettastool 2017-07-17 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you too, Ann.

I think so? The number keeps on changing a little but a hundred is about right.
ladytakamaki: (don't need no hold up)

[personal profile] ladytakamaki 2017-07-17 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
That's still a lot of people.
You know, that makes me curious... Have people ever been taken off the app before?
vendettastool: (suit up)

[personal profile] vendettastool 2017-07-21 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
It is. It's kinda scary.

Yes. My Personal Assistant was offline for a couple months. I actually was pretty freaked out by it.
ladytakamaki: (don't need permission)

[personal profile] ladytakamaki 2017-07-22 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? And then what happened?
vendettastool: (sounds like)

[personal profile] vendettastool 2017-07-24 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
It was like talking to someone who had no idea anything weird was going on. Then he just came back online. Which is even crazier.
ladytakamaki: (taking control)

[personal profile] ladytakamaki 2017-07-25 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
So it's as if his memories got erased, or something like that... Just what are they trying to do here?
vendettastool: (you cant)

[personal profile] vendettastool 2017-07-26 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Pretty much.

I wish I knew. It's weirdly like some kind of giant computer MMO in which we're these player characters trying to figure out why we've noticed glitches in the system. But that's my personal theory.
ladytakamaki: (know what i'm doing)

[personal profile] ladytakamaki 2017-07-28 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
It makes total sense. And if you were taken out of Retrospec...it's kind of like game over,
right?
vendettastool: (not doing that)

[personal profile] vendettastool 2017-07-28 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Kinda, yeah. You're reduced to a NPC status which means that everything we see wrong, they won't.
