[ 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!

Oh. So you have a special name with wrestling. Sort of like acting, right? I think I get it.
me_matey: (towards tomorrow)

[personal profile] me_matey 2018-11-07 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
zactly! a ton of prograppers use stage names to distinguish themselves from their wrestle personas
keystaff: (Cause you're my light)

[personal profile] keystaff 2018-11-08 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
prograppers? You mean professional wrestlers, right?

[She's only vaguely familiar with wrestling and the differing cultures around it between what is shown here in the US or what she vaguely recalls from back in Japan. Which isn't a whole lot.]
me_matey: (you are mine and we are twine)

[personal profile] me_matey 2018-11-08 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
ye ye. tho i think im the only person who uses that word.
keystaff: (How can I love)

[personal profile] keystaff 2018-11-09 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you are? I guess I'm not familiar enough with wrestling to notice if you are or not.
me_matey: (every minute every hour every second eve)

[personal profile] me_matey 2018-11-11 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
well ysee

but im also a weirdo
keystaff: (Hold fast)

[personal profile] keystaff 2018-11-11 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think making up words is that weird? How else would we have languages and the dictionary?
me_matey: (which way the pressure lies)

[personal profile] me_matey 2018-11-12 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
well its not like im makin up a word for a subtle and nuanced difference

i'm just makin up a word
keystaff: (Hold fast)

[personal profile] keystaff 2018-11-13 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
I know. I guess I'm just not used to it. Because there's words for a lot of things. I mean, I guess not all in English, necessarily, but...
me_matey: (things are so passionate times are so re)

[personal profile] me_matey 2018-11-13 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
dont think about it too hard, lil bit
keystaff: (On the wing)

[personal profile] keystaff 2018-11-14 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
I can try. I guess I haven't really made up any words to be sure on it myself. But that's pretty amazing.

[To make a whole new word up. Even if it might not be in the dictionary.]
me_matey: (always jumping never happy where you lan)

[personal profile] me_matey 2018-11-14 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
girl u are sellin me up WAY more than i deserve for just making up a dumb word
keystaff: (The way things are)

[personal profile] keystaff 2018-11-16 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
You think? I don't mean to embarrass you or anything. It's just -- languages are interesting. But you're right. There's more to worry about than making up words.
me_matey: (keep hope alive)

[personal profile] me_matey 2018-11-16 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
ye things sound like they gettin srs
keystaff: (Sacred simplicity)

[personal profile] keystaff 2018-11-17 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
Again. I just hope everyone will be alright this month. But if we work together again, I'm sure everything will work out and we'll be alright.
me_matey: (which way the pressure lies)

[personal profile] me_matey 2018-11-18 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] keystaff 2018-11-23 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes, as much as we might want to help, that's all we can do. Trust in others to do what they can.
me_matey: (you are mine and we are twine)
