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

Sometimes.

Other times I think I should toss you off a cliff.

For science.

And the public good.

[notyourutopian]

The world would be lost without me.
You know it.
They know it.
Who will invent the next great weirdly backwards tiny helicopter drone if you punish me for my jokes?

[burningblossoms]

Leonardo da Vinci.

I'll have to work out the secret to raising the dead though.

[notyourutopian]

You already have a plan to replace me.
I am trying to decide if I'm concerned or impressed.

[burningblossoms]

Well, it's a ways off. So for now you can stay.

[notyourutopian]

Oh, well, in that case I'll just be impressed.
Everyone should have a 'what if I have to off my best friend' plan, really.

[burningblossoms]

Yep.
Only I hope it doesn't come to that. I'm not sure Leonardo would be good at newspapers.

[notyourutopian]

Supposedly he had quite the temper.
And little patience.

But don't worry.
If it ever did come down to it, it would be memorable.

I'm picturing...a sunset face off on a cliff overlooking the ocean.
Maybe some clouds in the distant to symbolize what's to come.
Really dramatic lighting.

Probably an orchestral piece playing in the background..
Or Two Steps from Hell.

[burningblossoms]

That's dramatic.

Hopefully not. Wow.

I just googled that band. What on earth is this!

[notyourutopian]

They do movie trailers.
And big epic fight scenes.
I mostly listen to them to wake up in the morning.

[burningblossoms]

Fair.

I'll have to remember them, I guess.

[notyourutopian]

They're just nice for getting your blood pumping.
Or listening to something I can hear over the machines in the shop at school.
Heh.

Anyway, your phone calm down yet?

[burningblossoms]

Ish.

Now it's playing hiphop, but...I need to go do homework. So I'm turning it off.

[notyourutopian]

Okay. Message me later when you turn it back on, alright?

[burningblossoms]

Sure. TTYL
