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 That seems a strange thing to get, though not as strange as some certainly.
BlakKat Do you remember anything about it?
no subject
Nyante Cattailen i had one before
[And now, here's the question of how much he wants to divulge... he isn't sure he wants to tell the entire network that he's remembered how to fight. Something like that seems like it might be a better idea to keep hidden until the right moment, given who he is and the sorts of things people expect of him.]
Nyante Cattailen probably played with them or something, i don't remember specifics
Nyante Cattailen just that it's right
[Which is true! In the memory he has of him fighting, he definitely wasn't wielding a wooden sword, even if he doesn't remember what sort of sword he was using.]
no subject
BlakKat Perhaps you'll have a vision of being in a kendo club very soon.
BlakKat Or maybe you were one of those ren faire types.
[She was trying to be optimistic here.]
no subject
Nyante Cattailen if i was one of those losers i think i'd have to go into hiding in shame
Nyante Cattailen not kendo either, sorey and i tried that one already
Nyante Cattailen i'm not too worried about it
Nyante Cattailen so what sort of a knife did you get anyways
no subject
Chloe Bouchard I am not 100% sure, but I think it is a throwing knife.
Chloe Bouchard The weight feels like it is meant to be thrown, not carried, if that makes sense.
no subject
no subject
BlakKat Unlike guns, I have seen a few knives.
BlakKat Most of them have a heavier duty hilt to them than this.
BlakKat Without a guard, it'd be dangerous to hold this in a regular fight, so it's meant to be spun, sliced quickly and thrown.
[Except... she wouldn't think of that were it not for certain other things...]
no subject
Nyante Cattailen that start before or after we started getting all these memories back?
no subject
BlakKat I do not think I picked up the familiarity since now.
BlakKat My visions do not even involve knives.
no subject
Nyante Cattailen weird when a circus performer seems wilder than hallucinations
Nyante Cattailen i don't think i've asked before, what DO your visions involve?
no subject
BlakKat Perhaps I will run off and become a famous knife thrower.
BlakKat That would be quite the tale.
BlakKat And my visions are just odd, simple things. I visit strange, exotic locations and speak with people.
BlakKat I have tea with girls that pull guns on me and kiss them in strange places.
BlakKat It's all disjointed and confusing.
no subject
Nyante Cattailen are you sure you're not dreaming of some sort of spy flick
Nyante Cattailen tea with girls that pull guns on you that you wind up kissing in strange places sounds like a bond girl to me
Nyante Cattailen just saying
no subject
BlakKat I am not dreaming of a spy film per se, but the similarities are alarming at times.
BlakKat It is like watching my life being turned into some bad british film about espionage.
no subject
Nyante Cattailen hey
Nyante Cattailen
[It's going to take a while before there's a continuation here. It's a question he wants to ask, but at the same time it's a question he isn't sure he wants to ask in public, either.]
Nyante Cattailen have any of your memories seemed
Nyante Cattailen wrong somehow
Nyante Cattailen like you know it's real but at the same time it's impossible because of who you are
no subject
BlakKat Traveling to Corsica was not so strange, but there was something just wrong about the last two.
BlakKat But, I would say that part of this is how I refuse to believe them.
BlakKat It limits my ability to judge them fairly.
no subject
Nyante Cattailen not that i can blame you though
Nyante Cattailen there's a limit to what you can believe when it comes to all this
no subject
BlakKat Even if they're "possible," I do not want them to be true.
BlakKat And what I want impacts what I will tolerate.
no subject
Nyante Cattailen sounds like we've got the same trouble with these memories then
Nyante Cattailen now if only we could find a way to stop them
no subject
BlakKat It seems like everything that we do to try fails, and the only ways to make them stop we do not have control over.
BlakKat And in the end, we usually just end up talking about the same thing.
no subject
Nyante Cattailen much as i don't like it, so far it's been pretty hopeless
Nyante Cattailen i left for a few days earlier this week and still got one out in the middle of nowhere
no subject
BlakKat But it shouldn't be surprising either.
BlakKat My mother doesn't remember Horses, and she's in France, after all.
no subject
Nyante Cattailen the last time i talked to my folks they were telling me about how they're planning on going to the palio in siena this year
Nyante Cattailen "you know, that big chocobo race!"
Nyante Cattailen it's worldwide
no subject
BlakKat The only thing local is that we appear to be the only ones aware of it.
BlakKat Though I suspect Retrospec is local too.
no subject
Nyante Cattailen which brings us back to the question of
Nyante Cattailen "why us"
no subject
BlakKat This, unfortunately, is the one thing that I can say for certain.
BlakKat There is very little any of us seem to do or be that is in common.
BlakKat It is almost as if we were chosen at random.
BlakKat Wait, do you think that is what it is?
