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

BlakKat Except that it feels much like the Cloak I wear does.
BlakKat As if it is mine.
BlakKat The invasion of my privacy, though, is the biggest issue at play.

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora It's yours?
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora No wonder you asked Retrospec if they had anything to do with this.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Is there any signs of them breaking in? Scratches on the locks or things misplaced in your home?

[ she's getting shivers just asking these questions. uurgh. ]

[true_noir]

BlakKat It is not mine, but it feels like it is mine.
BlakKat I still mostly refuse to believe that these are actually my memories I am having.
BlakKat Whatever they say in their promotionals.
BlakKat And there is no sign of such a break-in, no. None at all.
BlakKat Other than a missing coat.

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Urgh! That sounds awful.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Is there anyway I can help you?
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Any way at all?

[true_noir]

BlakKat Well, the cloak is fine and does its task without trouble
BlakKat And it is just a knife in the end, so I don't know that it requires help per se.
BlakKat It is comforting of you to offer, though.

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora If you say so.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora I wish there was a way to do something about this.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora It's all so frustrating to deal with. The lack of being able to do anything.

[true_noir]

BlakKat It is, but I am trying to enjoy the few things that are not quite as terrible to deal with.
BlakKat Presently, I would rather be annoyed than the alternatives we've seen already.

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Right as always, I see.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Things could be worse.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora And at least we're letting them know we're not taking it lying down.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Take that, social media business!

[true_noir]

BlakKat Now we have to simply bring down this machine.
BlakKat I somehow expect that is easier said than done, but one step at a time!

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora One small step for mankind..
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora One giant leap for an irate userbase for a social media app we didn't even sign up for.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora That's what they're gonna get after downloading this on our phones.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Here I thought we should be having fun. Well. More fun.

[ that doesn't hurt someone's vision. ]

[true_noir]

BlakKat Nobody ever said we couldn't have fun bringing down the machine, did they?
BlakKat I can imagine a few possibilities, after all, that wouldn't be all gloom and doom.
BlakKat And there is aways a bit of joy in victory.
BlakKat Admittedly, a different sort of fun.

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora We should do something to them.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Like buy them all the potatoes.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Or pet rocks just to show we can be bafflingly strange also.

[ reap what you sow!! ]

[true_noir]

BlakKat Perhaps we can put faces on all of the potatoes.
BlakKat It would be an excellent way to make a point, don't you think?

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora That's an excellent touch to the idea.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora It does make me think though:
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Would goggly eyes be too much for this or be just right?

[true_noir]

BlakKat I believe the phrase at this point is 'go big, or go home.'
BlakKat If you must drink the poison, lick the bowl.
BlakKat So, yes. Googly eyes sounds good.

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Yes!!!
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora I like this plan a lot.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Googly eyes with glitter covered on the potatoes.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Just glitter everywhere in the package.

[ truly evil. ]

[true_noir]

BlakKat It is just silly enough that it might work.
BlakKat Let me know if you actually do this.
BlakKat I wish to assist.

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora You would?!
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Oh wow that'll be great.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Yes I would love a hand in this. Those googly eyes won't be glued on by themselves you know.

[true_noir]

BlakKat We have a plan then!
BlakKat Let me know when you want the help and I will come running.
BlakKat Well, as soon as I am free anyway.

[caelestialis]

Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora That's a promise!
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Aaaand I think I should let you get going now.
Ainmalsy Furay Meowodora Otherwise they might realise what we're trying to plan.
