retrospec | (no subject)

Whoa...the post settings from the admin accounts are really different than the normal accounts.

I'm sure you're expecting Jo or Maury or one of the others but those are all people who are way smarter and way more qualified than me, and those people are working overtime to trace down a signal we keep picking up on. Not sure what it means yet, but I'm hoping for the best. We thought we were able to isolate the problem when the other regions appeared on the current layer but it's something deeper.

But hey, isn't that what we're all trying to do here? Hope for the best.

Call me curious, but what's your favorite color? I've been teaching myself color theory lately. Bonus points if you say "why", too.

I swear to you that at least one of these posts has been actually informative and useful.

oh!

past...that doesn't sound like fun.

That pun blue my mind.

Do they count gold as a color? Maybe I'll change my mind.

That's understandable, it certainly would be nice to travel, but it seems like there's something happening here every month to make scheduling things difficult...

They'd probably do something awful as a bad joke like take it away somehow :T

they're probably on like 10+ layers
minimum

Nothing. It's just a pretentious word for purple. Kind of like blood orange is a pretentious word red.

I learned taking study breaks is better than trying to make a normal sleep schedule happen this time of year.
No zombie for me.

Actually the essays I'm talking about are timed like a final test.
I already turned those other ones in that I've been working on.

Me either
I hope this signal stuff doesn't interfere with our communication at least
If I had to choose I'd take losing colors over losing contact

Rest in pieces. We hardly knew blue.

if the world ends, work is going to be the least of our problems
I live in the apartment over the pub!

That's why you play games. You're doing stuff together, but it's also on your own. Ideal.

Color theory is learning about what colors mean, what people's favorite colors mean about them, etc probably. Maybe he just wants to learn more about us. Seems like the only employee who's actually interested in people individually.

That's probably why they took it.

Retrospec users can't have nice things, after all.

its leonii!
You are?
really? isn't that a lot of work to have that many siblings? I have a few but i'm the youngest!

oh my gosh! another one!

you really are growing up! like baby! or a baby animal! or a sunflower! hehe

yeah, i guess it's true that he's more talkative than the rest...hr perks, i guess. but that was probably intentional, right? to make us trust him? the first thing i'd do if i wanted to pull one over on ppl is make them try and trust me.

They might feel bad, I can't say they won't. But I think it's going to come out eventually, whether you want to tell them or not. And I think the longer you hide it, the worse it's going to be when they find out your feelings.

really?
i'm actually surprised to hear that
did they tell you exactly what was going to happen?

Is it just me, or does anyone else get concerned when they ask questions like that? They're never "just because".

more orange!

hmm that sounds like your crush is only beginning or it's very small
if your feelings grow
i think that's when more questions start to pop up!
at least that's how it is for me

Are we supposed to answer the questions they ask us?

What happens if we do?

Or don't?

yeah it's probably a little of both
because if i've got it right it's all tied to how much we're remembering
like... all of us, in general
so like... maybe the longer we're on retrospec, the more the world itself will change too?
it's all part of this weird project of theirs

but i feel like we already knew that with the chocobos and stuff
the other regions were just on a different scale, right?

[have an ic link]

tl;dr so far 2 cases of people on the network dying and coming back
in one case it was caused by something outside of their person
in the other it was brought up by the powers that were given back by retrospec

one was in august, the other was in october
in both cases all memories of other lives were wiped clean
and similar given belongings vanished until they returned

anyway
you sound like your memories haven't been wiped out
so
you should be fine on the "oh shit did i die?" front

Same here
And mine are green so it took even longer
It was mostly inconvenient but I'd rather not go through it again

No kidding, right?

At least people have been pawning things so I still have stuff to sell. Seems my bad luck has been bringing more customers since my shop is 'officially haunted' now.
