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

Crowji Mochickuki i would have suspected roommates or the mailman before app designers...
Crowji Mochickuki or maybe yourself?
Crowji Mochickuki i once brought a spoon to my room, left it on my desk, and forgot about it until the next day

[true_noir]

BlakKat I live alone, so there are no roommates to speak of.
BlakKat And I live with a deadbolt, so nobody could break in easily.
BlakKat But this is not the sort of knife that you forget owning.
BlakKat If it were cutlery that would be one thing, but this is the stabbing sort of knife.
BlakKat I own a can of pepper spray, not lethal weapons.

[appraiser]

Crowji Mochickuki a stabbing knife...
Crowji Mochickuki my initial reaction would be to suggest bringing it to the police to analyze for fingerprints
Crowji Mochickuki but gloves are so commonplace now, that nobody makes that mistake anymore
Crowji Mochickuki you're not hurt, are you? it hasn't been used?

[true_noir]

BlakKat Admittedly, a bit more of a throwing knife actually, but the same purpose.
BlakKat And I could attempt that, but gloves are simple and the fact is that it has no blood on it.
BlakKat Owning a knife is not illegal, after all, and I am fine.

[appraiser]

Crowji Mochickuki how do you tell the difference between a knife meant for cooking vs one for stabbing vs one for throwing?
Crowji Mochickuki also... it's been mentioned to me before that people are receiving weapons
Crowji Mochickuki i hope nothing bad comes out of that
Crowji Mochickuki and that people are properly disposing of them

[true_noir]

BlakKat I will send you an image.
BlakKat Believe me that it is rather obvious.

[It was long, straight, like a switchblade but not collapsible. The edge was double-bladed and there was a tiny hole, about the size of the middle finger, there ready for it to be twirled on.]

BlakKat It is not unlike a throwing knife at the circuse, but more practical.

[appraiser]

Crowji Mochickuki practical?
Crowji Mochickuki what do people even throw knifes at?

[ NOT PEOPLE ]

Crowji Mochickuki sorry, my knowledge of knives is close to nonexistent. i hardly use them to cook, let alone trust myself to throw them

[true_noir]

BlakKat Targets and people, mostly.
BlakKat They aren't especially good for hunting, after all.
BlakKat I don't really know a lot either, but I can tell one that is meant more as a weapon over a utensil.

[appraiser]

Crowji Mochickuki .....they have those darts with suction cups to throw at targets, they're safer
Crowji Mochickuki people though
Crowji Mochickuki knives shouldn't be thrown at people?
Crowji Mochickuki here, i thought we were at the age where the weapon of choice are guns

[true_noir]

BlakKat I do not know enough to know preferences about such things.
BlakKat Murder isn't my business, after all.
BlakKat But people do throw knives at people.

[appraiser]

Crowji Mochickuki sorry, i didn't mean to insinuate that!
Crowji Mochickuki people do
Crowji Mochickuki but shouldn't
Crowji Mochickuki what are you going to do with your knife?

[true_noir]

BlakKat I haven't decided that just yet.
BlakKat Other than not stabbing anyone with it.
BlakKat Obviously.

[appraiser]

Crowji Mochickuki lol obviously yes!
Crowji Mochickuki a knife is a knife, so you might as well use it
Crowji Mochickuki to cook, i guess

[true_noir]

BlakKat To cook, definitely.
BlakKat I will find some sort of use for it. This much I am certain of.
BlakKat I dislike simply hiding from these items any longer.

[appraiser]

Crowji Mochickuki items in plural makes it sound like the knife isn't the first for you
Crowji Mochickuki is my guess correct?
Crowji Mochickuki though admittedly, i would have little problem with hiding things that don't hold relevance to me

[true_noir]

BlakKat A Cloak, a knife and a fork.
BlakKat Yes, Retrospec personally mailed me a dessert fork in a sealed package.
BlakKat I came to understand that it was related to at least one vision I would later have.
BlakKat And I suppose that is an option, yes, but doesn't change the basic concern.

[appraiser]

Crowji Mochickuki a cloak sounds cool...
Crowji Mochickuki a knife and a fork though
Crowji Mochickuki do you cook for a living or ?
Crowji Mochickuki i'm not sure what other connection there might be

[true_noir]

BlakKat I tend flowers and sell them, so no.
BlakKat And, again, it is the wrong kind of knife for that sort of thing, so I don't think that it can be related.
BlakKat I am not sure, though, that there is a connection.

[appraiser]

Crowji Mochickuki there should be one though?
Crowji Mochickuki most things that people received
Crowji Mochickuki they're things they felt that they ought to have

[true_noir]

BlakKat At its most simple, it may be that the visions simply imply that I once owned both.
BlakKat That may be all the connection that there really is here.

[appraiser]

Crowji Mochickuki i'm kind of curious about these visions...
Crowji Mochickuki i mean, sometimes i dream about eating dessert too, but i don't get the forks in the mail

[true_noir]

BlakKat You are not missing out, if you ask me.
BlakKat And I did not dream of it from dessert.
BlakKat It was a keepsake I took from someone to remember them by.

[appraiser]

Crowji Mochickuki oh
Crowji Mochickuki well
Crowji Mochickuki i supposed cutlery can have as much sentimental value as a friendship bracelet or a lock of hair

[true_noir]

BlakKat I imagine it is because it was 'her' fork, more than anything.
BlakKat Even if I think she was planning on stabbing me with it.
BlakKat It was a very strange vision.

[appraiser]

Crowji Mochickuki did you know her?
Crowji Mochickuki why would you want a keepsake from somebody who planned to stab you
Crowji Mochickuki ?
