[ 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!

[personal profile] admiringly 2018-11-03 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
time is a mystery when it comes to him
i'm pretty sure you understand some of his jokes more than me?
yaaaaay
i don't mind this special treatment! hehe ☆
windeity: (GRIN ♫ hoodie and shit)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-11-04 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
i think that is more from knowing him in the past life than knowing him here. you still got the live and in person experience longer than i did.
plus he's biased toward you anyway.
i thought you'd like that :) so what's it going to be? what is at the top of the chiyo matsuoka watch list?
admiringly: (70)

[personal profile] admiringly 2018-11-05 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
???
i'm not the one he's dating
i think he's more biased towards you?
hmmmm
it's a makoto shinkai movie!
i'm just not sure which one i want you to suffer through first! ☆
windeity: (ATTENTIVE ♫ hm?)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-11-06 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
ok yes but i don't get a cute nickname like sunshine? that is a clear bias here.
oh! that guy that did that bodyswitching movie a few years ago right? that would be a good choice.
this is a kind of suffering i can accept.
admiringly: (122)

[personal profile] admiringly 2018-11-08 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
it is one of the best nicknames i have!
so i'll take winning in getting a better nickname category only!
yes!! that's the one!! i cried and i'll cry again
windeity: (THINKING ♫ thoughts)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-11-08 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
fiiiine, fine. but you should tell him to give me a better nickname, ok? he might listen to you :P
as much as i am a supporter of crying during good films, that seems a little strong for an opener.
unless we do a comedy right after that...
...wait what else has he done that you like anyway?
admiringly: (71)

[personal profile] admiringly 2018-11-10 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
ok i'll bring it up next time we talk!
what kind of nicknames does he give you?
most of his movies are kind of like that...
kind of moody, kind of hopeful and happy but not the happiest?
i really liked 5 centimeters per second!!
umm we should definitely do a comedy right after
windeity: (GRIN ♫ pleased as punch)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-11-11 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
you're the best. i knew i could count on you.
also where do you think eggs came from?
i definitely have never seen that one.
but i have a lot of comedies in my library. we will watch two of them just to be sure.
admiringly: (46)

[personal profile] admiringly 2018-11-12 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
from your last name? omg
hehe i'm happier i got such a cute nickname from him now
next time we'll watch 5cm per sec!!
i'm good to watch all the comedies you recommend!!
windeity: (MISCHIEF ♫ swap)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-11-12 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
:P that is exactly it, yes.
i get other nicknames from him too but nothing like sunshine.
that sounds like a plan to me!
but ok. most important question: what is your favorite comedy?
admiringly: (53)

[personal profile] admiringly 2018-11-14 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
does the princess bride count?
if it does then that one!


[ I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPOOF PRINCESS BRIDE I'M SORRY ]
windeity: (GAZE ♫ skywards)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-11-14 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
it's maybe my second favorite so it absolutely counts.
where have you been all my life with this great taste?
admiringly: (03)

[personal profile] admiringly 2018-11-16 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
we've found each other now and that's what matters!!
what's your first favorite?
windeity: (Default)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-11-17 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
ghostbusters, what else?
and zoolander right after that.


[Someone save everyone from John's taste.]

but that was cute and you're right. that's what matters, and what ALSO matters is i'll see you in a few days for movie day.
admiringly: (13)

[personal profile] admiringly 2018-11-18 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Chiyo doesn't think that's bad taste, though. ]

yes!! i'll see you in a few days!!
i'd watch those two with you too!!
it's been a long time since i last saw them
windeity: (CURIOUS ♫ interest piqued)

[personal profile] windeity 2018-11-19 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
tell you what. if we do not have time for them during the marathon, we'll do a screening at our house and you can just hang out with me and dave. deal?

[personal profile] admiringly 2018-11-24 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
