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 The spy films I watch do not involve lesbian heroines and villains, so I would say that no.
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.

Nyante Cattailen i think a few of us could say something like that
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

BlakKat I would say that almost any of them have fallen into this category after a certain point.
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.
darkinferno: (★ so here's to drinks in the dark)

[personal profile] darkinferno 2017-04-15 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Nyante Cattailen yeah that's a bias all right
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
true_noir: (Cloak9)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-04-15 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
BlakKat As much as I wish otherwise I am willing to admit I am being stubborn about the alternatives.
BlakKat Even if they're "possible," I do not want them to be true.
BlakKat And what I want impacts what I will tolerate.

[Unfortunately this is just leading him back in circles. Dante frowns on his end.]

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
true_noir: (Cloak11)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-04-16 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
BlakKat I have yet to find a real way to do that.
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.
darkinferno: (✭ watch the world pass over my head)

[personal profile] darkinferno 2017-04-17 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Nyante Cattailen yeah
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
true_noir: (Hmmm)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-04-17 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
BlakKat That is definitely distressing.
BlakKat But it shouldn't be surprising either.
BlakKat My mother doesn't remember Horses, and she's in France, after all.
darkinferno: (★ was it a shock for you)

[personal profile] darkinferno 2017-04-17 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Nyante Cattailen that's true
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
true_noir: (Default)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-04-17 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
BlakKat Yes, it appears to be.
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.
darkinferno: (★ so here's to drinks in the dark)

[personal profile] darkinferno 2017-04-18 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Nyante Cattailen probably a good guess all things considered
Nyante Cattailen which brings us back to the question of
Nyante Cattailen "why us"
true_noir: (Bored)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-04-19 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
BlakKat Nothing exist that ties us together.
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?
darkinferno: (★ end of the night it's goin' down)

[personal profile] darkinferno 2017-04-20 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Nyante Cattailen honestly?
Nyante Cattailen it could be
Nyante Cattailen much as i want there to be some sort of common thread between all of us the only similarities are that we're all experiencing the same things after getting the app
Nyante Cattailen can't say i like that answer very much though
true_noir: (Default)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-04-20 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
BlakKat Nor do I.
BlakKat But, after the fruit incident, I am starting to think it might be just that.
BlakKat It would suit that foolishness to have been done at random, after all.
darkinferno: (★ the loss of friends you didn't have)

[personal profile] darkinferno 2017-04-21 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Nyante Cattailen hang on a second though
Nyante Cattailen before the fruit incident, there was someone else on the network who was sent them first
Nyante Cattailen i'm pretty sure i remember her saying something about knowing that they were hers somehow
Nyante Cattailen which sounds pretty weird now that we've got fruit with faces worldwide but at the same time i felt like that with the sword too
Nyante Cattailen some instinctive feeling that it's MINE
Nyante Cattailen so i guess what i'm getting at here is that maybe she knows more about it
Nyante Cattailen maybe it's not as random as it seems?
true_noir: (Cloak9)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-04-21 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
BlakKat You mean, as in, we were chosen because these things are meant for us specifically.
BlakKat But nothing connects us exactly?
BlakKat I'm not sure how I would feel about that.
darkinferno: (★ being worshiped is a breeze)

[personal profile] darkinferno 2017-04-23 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Nyante Cattailen i don't know
Nyante Cattailen maybe
Nyante Cattailen it'd at least be better than completely random, right?
Nyante Cattailen i can't say i'm a fan of the idea that i'm getting these visions just because someone rolled my number up
true_noir: (Creeper)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-04-23 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
BlakKat It is at best, a trifle insulting.
BlakKat To think we were nothing more than a random generation of numbers.
BlakKat No matter what, it does not save them from our vengeance.
