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

Yes.

And the law doesn't do anything, anyway.

[burlyheart]

The law manages to do everything else just fine.

[godcards]

I disagree. Besides, shouldn't be doing everything fine in the first place? If they were good at their jobs, anyway...

[burlyheart]

I may just have been made aware of this, but I can say with all confidence that the way things were going earlier will not continue.

[godcards]

Oh? And what makes you so confident? What makes you think you can make a difference?

[burlyheart]

Do I have any reason to believe otherwise?

[Real reasons, in Peter's mind.]

[godcards]

Despite what reality says? One person can hardly change anything alone... and certainly not when it comes to power structures like the police force or even Retrospec. You're just another gear in the machine! Working away, doing what you're supposed to do... That's hardly inspiring or worth getting hopeful over.

[burlyheart]

There is nothing wrong with a proper gear, if it's doing what is right!

[godcards]

But you're still only one mindless piece in the larger machine! You can't do anything yourself... Only what you're supposed to do.

[burlyheart]

Even a large machine steers itself when it's a matter of continued existence. Sanity will win out in this.
