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

[ If it helps, message deletion isn't yet a thing, making his "horse as a password code for a conspiracy group" bound to the Internet forever. At least until they update with that feature, but by then Ritsu probably wouldn't care enough to go back to it. ]

Ritsu Kageyama I thought manipulation of reality only happened in comics. Is that the first time this has happened?
Ritsu Kageyama And how come people aren't more freaked out about it? It was nowhere in the news.
[ He answers his own question, within a couple seconds. ]
Ritsu Kageyama Like how I was earlier, they must have assumed it was normal, huh.

[darkinferno]

[Oh, he'll definitely go and find that at some point and have a good laugh at it :)]

Dante Rantanen you got it
Dante Rantanen the only people that knew what had happened were those of us on the network here
Dante Rantanen and if we tried to bring it up to anyone all we got were weird looks
Dante Rantanen anyway, there hasn't been anything else on that large a scale, but weird things have still been happening
Dante Rantanen the retrospec building in tisse is empty, for one thing
Dante Rantanen it's like they put the sign on it to make it look legit, but didn't touch the inside at all

[esperimental]

[ DANTE NO well it'll be funny up until it actually happens it's adopted as their group password, just you wait >:'I ]

Ritsu Kageyama What a strange group, it's a pretend message of wanting to engage, or
Ritsu Kageyama Only engage over Internet, not in person?
Ritsu Kageyama What other weird things have been happening?

dumps a wall of text on u ig

[darkinferno]

[He's just doing his job as the network's finest troll :') "DANTE NO" is what he (and by "he" I totally mean I) lives for. Who's up for calling themselves the "secret horse conspiracy club?" Anyone?]

Dante Rantanen considering this is only the second time we've heard anything from them i'm not so sure they're wanting to engage with us at all
Dante Rantanen more like they post these messages to make it look like they're trying to be a legit social media app but it's just a front

[He'll get the tinfoil for their inaugural hat-making session.

Also he's going to need to make a primer with how many times he's explained this to people. Dante's lip curls slightly at the thought of it--maybe he'll ask someone else to do it so it can be on hand for the next time something like this goes down? Because he's already sure there'll be a "next time"--and if not, hey. They've got a concrete record, right?]

Dante Rantanen well, the horse/chocobo switch is the easiest to point to since it's a big, long-lasting change
Dante Rantanen but in addition to that there's the sudden appearance of retrospec as a presence in the city
Dante Rantanen the app installed itself on our phones and then two days later there was a building in tisse with its name on it and beads with the rs logo were being thrown from the floats
Dante Rantanen did you have any of them? they changed colors, almost like mood rings, and you couldn't get rid of them
Dante Rantanen i know a guy on here who can verify, he watched me throw a string of them across the street and then a few seconds later they were back in my coat pocket
Dante Rantanen then there's now with all the glitching out with the app and autoplaying music
Dante Rantanen normally i'd just call it annoying but with everything else, not being able to delete the app, it downloading onto all your electronics and accessing the network whether you've got service or not...
Dante Rantanen then there's the weird flashes people have been getting
Dante Rantanen we don't know yet if they're memories or hallucinations or dreams but
Dante Rantanen SOMETHING'S going on to make people see things they've never known but for some reason find familiar like a memory
Dante Rantanen so yeah, a lot of weird stuff

beautiful

[ It takes a while for the whole message to come through, and Ritsu hesitates to even hit the reply button with how long it took him to formulate something so simple and lacking in spirit. ]

Ritsu Kageyama I guess moving here wasn't the best decision.
Ritsu Kageyama It feels like we're part of those movies where technology becomes too advanced and is out to get you.
Ritsu Kageyama I didn't attend Founder's Day though, so I didn't get to see the beads or what magic tricks they decided to perform. Are they still with you?
Ritsu Kageyama ... I swear if this is tied to everything being laced with drugs or something I don't even know.

[darkinferno]

Dante Rantanen nah not any more
Dante Rantanen after a couple weeks they finally stopped changing colors so i figured it was safe to get rid of them, and they haven't come back yet
Dante Rantanen i don't think it's tied to any sort of drug though
Dante Rantanen the flashes are a lot more vivid than that. they're so vivid that it's like it happened five minutes ago
Dante Rantanen i remembered an island and even though i've never been there before i could tell you exactly how many trees there were and how the bark was different between the tree i was leaning against and the other trees nearby
Dante Rantanen you don't normally get that level of detail in dreams or hallucinations

[esperimental]

Ritsu Kageyama That really is strange.
Ritsu Kageyama I daresay though not a bad dream to have, with the bustle of city life.
Ritsu Kageyama A vacation, if for only a few seconds. I personally get antsy not having much to do though.
Ritsu Kageyama Did you do anything else in that flash?

[darkinferno]

Dante Rantanen i don't know about that. i would've been happier if i'd never had it, that's for sure
Dante Rantanen i don't want to get into the details where everyone else can read it but yeah
Dante Rantanen i actually had a whole conversation in the flash
Dante Rantanen i was talking with two other kids that i'm pretty sure i knew

[esperimental]

Ritsu Kageyama I see.

[ Just as well about the detailing, Ritsu thought. He wouldn't wanna overshare online either. ]

Ritsu Kageyama Knew well, or not really?

[ He can't say anything about being good at names. He's terrible at them, but with friends that would be different. ]

[darkinferno]

Dante Rantanen can i answer both?
Dante Rantanen i don't remember what their names are or anything about them
Dante Rantanen but based on the conversation we were having i'd guess we were friends

[esperimental]

Ritsu Kageyama That explains why you weren't entirely happy,
Ritsu Kageyama getting part of a story and not a full one.

[darkinferno]

Dante Rantanen sure we'll go with that

[It's more because he doesn't want to remember people he actually cares about, but... he'll neatly sidestep around that one.]

Dante Rantanen anyway that's the sort of thing you've got to look forward to
Dante Rantanen good luck with it

[esperimental]

Ritsu Kageyama Thanks for the heads up.

[ After a few seconds, he adds: ]

Ritsu Kageyama Good luck to you as well.
