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

is it that scary a thought? or too real?

[notyourutopian]

That's the thing.
We don't know.
We have so little information, everything can seem possible.

[appraiser]

it sure is scary when you put it that way
it's times like these where we really needs journalists like you
to collect stories
and find the truth

[notyourutopian]

Easier said than done.
But I'm trying.
Lots of people are trying, really.

i know
as somebody who doesn't know where to start, all i can do is volunteer my efforts for any plans that come up
so i really appreciate it
it's kind of fun though, seeing how this mystery unfolds

[notyourutopian]

Fun is...one word for it.
I take you haven't received a lot of those
hallucinomemory things?

[appraiser]

a couple
some of them were fun, most of them were not
but it's like watching a movie
it feels so real and present
but it's not
it can't be
and so it's fun

[notyourutopian]

Mine have been a mix too I guess.
And like, I guess it can't be real.
But it feels real.
So

...I don't know.
