Greetings, Users. Our system may be experiencing some residual glitches from a recent network malfunction. Our technical team is working on getting these issues under control. Please direct any concerns in the meantime to the HR department at humanresources@retrospec.com. Our staff has furthermore noticed a significant increase in tags and trends for #aprilfools and #pranks. Keep on your toes and be certain to tag your best tricks for Retrospec™! 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. Any emails sent to the HR department will be returned with a failure to send notification, and will furthermore automatically be posted to the Retrospec network. Oops? Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures. Glitches will be in effect until the 15th and may include: -Usernames changing to a cat, dog, or bird pun. -The Retrospec application being changed into a neon color + animal theme of some variety. -Notifications going off at random and being unable to be turned off. -Various "special effects" crossing the screens when people comment. -Users having to beat a level of pac-man to access the application, and then being made to beat a new level every hour to keep using the application. -Thomas the Tank Engine memes being sent to users every hour for some reason. -Profile pictures being replaced by pictures of rabbits and easter eggs. -New creepy pasta stories appearing upon log-in, to be forwarded to someone before the app can continue to be used -Parental lock and auto-correct on cursing (i.e. fuck -> duck) -A parade of pixel Chocobos or dancing fruit scrolling across the screen after each comment posted

Steven Squawking as dumb as this network is half the time I'm starting to get used to it. if I get locked out each time and have to play a round of pac-man to get back in? I'll be playing a lot. but then again I'm not that patient either

Hitori Togusa A dog? Did you get a dog? Who got a dog?
Hitori Togusa No, I know that's not really important, but now I have to know.
Hitori Togusa And, well, no. I don't think anybody's thought to do it yet. Either they employ their own, and it's going to be harder to get our hands on them, or it's going to turn out they just use one of the regular courier services in the city.

[Pause.]

Hitori Togusa I have the sudden urge to call up a friend of mine who works for one of the delivery services here.

[Prompto, no.]

[chiseler]

Steven Squawking that's because, again, you're a nice person. be careful who you do favors for though, Anya, I mean it
Steven Squawking I mean not me, I'm fine, I mean other people you may meet

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Oh good, you've already met Tim. I think I make him a little nervous.

[There was a clandestine meeting he insisted in having a church to make sure Togusa wouldn't show up armed. It was a thing.]

Hitori Togusa Just ask his advice, I'm betting I'm right, though, that a rebuild of the site should take more time than we're giving them.

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Hey, it keeps me on the streets and out from behind the desk.
Hitori Togusa But, overall, people are being careful what they put on here. Most of the nonsense posts, like you say, are just that. Nonsense.
Hitori Togusa It helps some people feel like they're subverting whatever it is Retrospec wants from us.

[chiseler]

Steven Squawking at least somebody's benefitting from all of this

[chiseler]

Steven Squawking they really went all out on yours huh...
Steven Squawking I mean it IS kind of funny

[chiseler]

Steven Squawking but you can't eat a robot...they're pretty okay I guess
Steven Squawking if my future's filled with birds I'm quitting. what kind of future involves birds anyway?

[chiseler]

Steven Squawking hey hey hey I'm allowed to do it to you guys but nobody's allowed to turn this around on me
Steven Squawking maybe they didn't want to mix dogs and cats? come to think of it I'm surprised they didn't pull catstellan on me either
Steven Squawking why birds? also Thalia mentioned something about snails on your app?

[chiseler]

Steven Squawking while I agree with that maybe we should look into some anger management for you? yoga or some shit
Steven Squawking ...or come by the bar and we'll figure out the best way to make it happen. I'm less impressed every time they show up

[chiseler]

Steven Squawking if they're the ones programming all of this, you think their apps really look like ours?
Steven Squawking I'll be optimistic for a minute and hope that you're right but I wonder...I don't know much about this kind of technology and how it all works though

[samuraisoul]

It does. I won't be irritating about the matter, but every adoption I can help bring about makes it worth it.

[samuraisoul]

Mewbei Nyankōbō No cat would ever want to miss out on such a golden opportunity.
Mewbei Nyankōbō They do so love attention!

[chiseler]

Nyardyn Mewzunia An acquaintance of mine, Freya. Or I should say, rather, her roommate.

[Prompto, no.]

Nyardyn Mewzunia Oh? Thinking of utilizing them for investigative purposes?

[burningblossoms]

Don't know him.
But okay.

Anyway this is annoying. I just got another pop-up of a bunch of chocobos. I don't have a screensaver like that.
