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 |

Excuse me? Do you really expect me to answer this...?
no subject
yes
no subject
I don't think anything is cute.
no subject
cats? a childhood toy? those small one-serving boxes of cereal?
no subject
no subject
nothing?
no subject
Why is it so important? I'm aware there's plenty of people that coo over small animals, I'm just not one of them.
no subject
animals are very easy to love
but for somebody to not think they're cute, what eventually captures their affections must be wonderful
so i want to know the sorts of things that you love
no subject
no subject
okay
we'll start off easy
what are some things you don't hate
no subject
no subject
walking away from dislikes is a healthy attitude
but there are likes too, that you can embrace
no subject
[ animal-pun usernames aside. ]
no subject
it's nice to meet you
tell me a little about yourself?
no subject
That's the extent of relevant information I'll give you.
no subject
but i like the name Malik!
it's a middle eastern name, right? uncommon enough that i could find out more about you just by asking around
no subject
Why... would you do that
no subject
to learn more about you, of course
how your friends perceive you, that sort of thing
no subject
no subject
people's perceptions of you are not the whole truth, but they are a part of it
some people don't like to define and label friendship, but they still feel it
i think you're interesting
i'm enjoying these conversations
i guess mostly, it's because i don't understand how you think and feel
and i want to understand
no subject
As for me... I don't understand why you'd think I'm interesting when I've done nothing noteworthy. I'm not about to tell you my life story, but if it'll get you to stop questioning me, I'll can tell you a few things. I'm self-sufficient without friendship, I rely wholly on myself and no one else... I approach things rationally, and how I see fit for the situation. Like now... if these questions get too troublesome, I can walk away.
no subject
people don't have to *do* anything to be interesting; they can just *be*
you don't have to answer my questions if you're uncomfortable with them
and you can offer what information you want too
like what you told me already-- you're self-sufficient, confident, dependable, somebody with a good head on his shoulders
all very good traits
how people describe themselves, what characteristics they pick out, says a lot
how could anybody not think you're interesting?
no subject
Believe it or not, you're one of the rare few who's called me that. Or rather, 'interesting' isn't the first word that comes to mind when people have described me.
no subject
it's a pity though, because i want to tell people about you, how interesting and admirable you are
how do others tend to describe you? i can't imagine it's much different
oh
but you know, even though i promised so, i think messages like these can be read by anybody with the app
it isn't like text messages which are private
no subject
As for the second point, it varies. It's hardly as positive as you make it sound. My parents liked to use "ابن كلب" when they were mad at me, for example.
