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 one month will find they can now change their profile pictures; newcomers are locked into their first choice. Upon opening this entry at all, characters will find themselves spammed with notifications and strange glitched texts until they make some sort of suggestion for a new application feature on the Retrospec app. This can range from a personalized friends list to a watermelon image gallery to a watergun charging station. It doesn't have to make sense or be useful - it just has to be a suggestion, at which point the application will return to normal.

What they want suggestions now?
How about stop being possessed by the ghost of glitches past?
Or actually have employees in your building.
And maybe not trap people inside.
Or you could just let us change our names.
That would be cool.

[true_noir]

Oh, Iris, I think we both know that they will never do any of those things. I dare say that I won't believe it if someone claims that elevator started working properly.

[borntoolate]

Did you get stuck in there too?
I didn't even try the elevator.
Don't people always say to use the stairs in emergencies?

[true_noir]

Twice, and the second time I had a weird vision that I still don't fully understand. Someone told me the elevator panel doesn't even lead to anything, like it is just looks like an elevator door. It's like it is a room that looks like it's supposed to look, but isn't actually anything like that.

[borntoolate]

Wait.
You had a vision?
And the elevator is fake?
This is starting to sound like a super weird horror movie.

[tarotcards]

Those suggestions are far too reasonable, Iris. Please tone it down for our glitchy Retrospec overlords.

[borntoolate]

Right.
My bad.
How about keep downloading random stuff on everyone's phones?
We sure do love surprises.
Is that better?

[tarotcards]

Much better.

They should also put big pop-up ads whenever we try to use the app so we can really see what they're marketing.

[borntoolate]

Yeah obviously we all need to know how to get free ipods.

[appraiser]

did you get trapped in the building too? any clue what happened? i have a bet riding on this that i'm not sure i'm going to win.....

[borntoolate]

Sure did.
Sounds like it happened to a lot of people.
No real clue how or why though.
Sorry.

[appraiser]

that's alright. the bet's not a big deal, but i'm still curious as to what's going on with that building
maybe if a group of people went in all at once, with people on the inside and outside, we could figure it out
but i've already been warned to stay away from that place (´～`)

[borntoolate]

omg that sounds like so much fun!
A sleepover in a spooky office building.
Wish I'd thought of that.

[bold_in_deed]

maybe they're attempting to stage a real time horror film about a bunch of poor sods trapped in a social media platform office and their desperate but futile attempts to escape. occasionally the camera cuts over to some disgruntled person stuck with this app they were forced to churn out. for comedic relief, you know?

[borntoolate]

If it's a horror movie then it would be way scarier if the people stuck with the app were forced to decide what happened to the people stuck in the building.

[bold_in_deed]

ooooh, good one.

...

let's hope you didn't just give them a new idea. you might have just screwed over those poor saps in the building.

[mercurio]

these are all nice suggestions
also a shortcut to my fave contacts would be nice

[borntoolate]

Yeah that could work too.
But given retrospec's record?
I have a feeling we're more likely to get an update that plays constant elevator music instead.

[mercurio]

in that case, don't forget to bring your earphones with you!
at least that blocks out the noise from making you a public embarrassment

[Wait what.]

Trap people?

[borntoolate]

Yeah.
I went to their office building on founder's day.
You could open the door to get in, but not out.
And the whole place was empty.
No employees or security guards.
Not even a janitor.
It was weird.

[strawberrypunch]

[…Okay, yeah, even he can tell there’s something up there.]

How did you get out?

[daemonized]

But the glitches give it /character/.

What would you change your name to, Iris?

[borntoolate]

Dunno yet.
Everyone using their real names is just weird.
But if they're actually going to take one of my suggestions I'd almost rather it be the employees thing.
Then we'd all have someone to complain to.

[daemonized]

Someone must be pushing these "updates" out. Though if you had the pleasure of visiting one of the Retrospec offices not that long ago, it's easy to believe that there's no one at the helm of this mysterious operation.

Names, though. What should pick if I should change it, Iris? I defer to your better judgment.
