[ At 9PM on the 1st, all phones or Retrospec-enabled devices will show flickering screens, until a static-filled image appears. It seems to be a security camera shot, in black and white from a high angle, of a simple computer room. Inside is Joanne Wiseman who many of the users may recognize - she looks young, blonde curls loose around her shoulders, and she also looks tired still.

A young man who looks only slightly older than her comes in. He's dark-haired with a sweater and glasses, but a white labcoat that matches hers as well. Maurice comes over to stand nearby, watching the screen Joanne is looking at.

Neither of them seem to realize they're being recorded. Joanne looks up, and speaks first. ]


Did R and D know anything?

[ Maurice shakes his head, says: ] No. They can't track them down either - it's almost as if...

[ Joanne: ] They have to be somewhere.

[ Maurice: ] Jim's trying to figure it out. You know we don't have anyone better at...ah, "creative" solutions?

[ Joanne: ] No, I know, just...what if their souls are just, just -

[ Maurice: ] I don't think they're gone. I mean - well, they're gone, but I don't think they're gone? You remember August, the one before last. They're, uh, pretty tough?

[ Joanne: ] We're usually able to at least try to help them when we can, though!

[ Maurice: ] Jo - look, we're doing everything we can. We'll find them.

[ Joanne: ] Before they do?

[ Maurice: ] Right. I mean...we have to, don't we?

[ They both look worried. Before they do was said with a certain inflection - and hey, Retrospec. It looks like the employees have lost track of you for the month. How do you feel about that one? ]

As of this post, character usernames are back to being their own names - or rather, characters will be prompted to put in their name as a boot screen loads. Now's your chance to change your preferred name, Retrospecters - but it appears whatever you put in will be locked in as your choice. Hope you didn't put in something ridiculous!

A library? Wow, that sounds cool!

Oh, then how about a writer's desk? Or do you have any other hobbies?
thesettingsun: smile (so if you don't trust me)

You should visit sometime, I'll give you the grand tour.

Fashion? But I'll already have a wardrobe anyway, that's obvious.

I'd love to! Just lemme know when's a good time.

Hmm...what about a standing mirror? Those are pretty big.

Your shifts and mine at Club Sunshine, are usually pretty similar, and I only take evening work at the Inkwell, so we can go from there.

Already had one.

Okay, great! Looking forward to it then, I'll be sure to get a housewarming gift too!

Oh uh...
[UHHHHH]A nice...shoe rack?
thesettingsun: smile blush (my strongest suit)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-02 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have to do that.

I think I'll go with the writer's desk. Thanks for the help.
fiddlestick: (smile)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-11-02 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, but I want to!

Haha, it's no problem. Good luck picking one out!
thesettingsun: smile (while I've gone on my own way)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-02 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
There's no way to convince you not to get me a housewarming gift, is there.
fiddlestick: (elliot109)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-11-02 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, nope! 🎵
thesettingsun: neutral (now I'm gonna set you up)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-03 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Then I guess I'll just have to accept it gratefully.
fiddlestick: (smile)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-11-03 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Good!

I'll make sure it's something nice, promise!
thesettingsun: smile (I'm just as good as you)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-03 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I really wasn't concerned that you were going to get me a box of wasps or something.
fiddlestick: (youre dumb af)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-11-03 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahaha, yeah. Those are a little hard to find this time of year.
thesettingsun: smile (from your cradle via trousseau)

That's way too much trouble to go to for a prank. Dog turds are always available, though.
fiddlestick: (headscratch)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-11-04 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll pass on that, thanks. Too unsanitary.

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-05 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
That's fair. Really ugly potted plant?
fiddlestick: (youre dumb af)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-11-06 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, now that has some possibility! I'll see.
thesettingsun: smile (cross me somewhere in the street)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2018-11-07 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll try to appreciate it no matter how hideous it is.
fiddlestick: (elliot122)

thread end?

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-11-08 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, good to know!
