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

Hitori Togusa I've told him he needs to start getting more creative in his insults if he wants all of us to stop thinking there's something going on between him and Detective Gabranth. He's just a little too specific in what he wants to do to the man.

Hitori Togusa Proof's for investigations. Doesn't mean it's not happening.
Hitori Togusa Makes you wonder what would happen if Retrospec does another one of those competitions. "One chance to remember." But what would happen if it gets given to someone who isn't "remembering" anything?

Nyardyn Mewzunia But maybe there is something going on. Can you imagine?

[pours fuel on the fire with absolutely no regrets.]

Nyardyn Mewzunia Someone like yourself, you mean?

Hitori Togusa Hey, I'm in favor of it! Whatever makes Fynn happy. I would just lock the two of them in the supply closet, and let them work it out, but we don't have a door strong enough to withstand both of them trying to break it down.

Hitori Togusa Well. Yeah. We're pretty limited in who of us isn't seeing anything. We're out here, but that means that I have to give it a shot, whatever comes up.

Nyardyn Mewzunia I think you should try it anyway.
Nyardyn Mewzunia I'm sure with enough manpower pressed against the door, they'll be forced to confront their feelings in the confines of a closet, rather than escape.

[God, he hopes either Fynn or Gabranth sees this, honestly.]

Nyardyn Mewzunia Regardless, it would be interesting to see if a memory did crop up for you anyway.
Nyardyn Mewzunia Hypothetically speaking. I'd not wish it on you in reality.

[And now Togusa is getting suspicious looks from his neighboring desks, because he has burst out into very loud laughter. Never before has the word 'manpower' been quite so funny.]

Hitori Togusa I don't know if the door would be able to stand up to that, either...

Hitori Togusa It really is bothering you, isn't it?
Hitori Togusa I appreciate the concern. Maybe I shouldn't try to force it, but I wish things weren't so uncertain.

Nyardyn Mewzunia You won't know unless you try.

[Ardyn is trying hard not to laugh at the very thought. Sorry Fynn. Of course, it's easy enough to quell this feeling of amusement when swinging back around to the subject of memories.]

Nyardyn Mewzunia I think it's only reasonable for it to bother me. And for me to be worried about others, if they'll not do it themselves.
Nyardyn Mewzunia But it's the uncertainty, as you said, that disturbs me the most.

[If they somehow by pure happenstance do get locked in the closet, Togusa is going to get blamed now. Somehow, he's okay with this.]

Hitori Togusa I don't even know what I should be worried about. The scope of what people have been reporting is so out there, it could be anything. Magic, monsters, feudal battles, what's next?
Hitori Togusa The big question everyone's grappling with is the same deep down: what does Retrospec know about us that we don't know about ourselves?

Nyardyn Mewzunia If they know something, then why not reveal all at once?
Nyardyn Mewzunia What's the point of one memory here, another there?
Nyardyn Mewzunia I'd rather be privy to the entire story, or none at all.

[The irony is that, no, you wouldn't, Ardyn.]

Hitori Togusa Because human memory doesn't work that way. I think. You can't just suddenly recall your whole life at once, you can only focus on a piece at a time.
Hitori Togusa Either that, or the shock of remembering a whole lot at once would fry your mind.

Nyardyn Mewzunia If they were concerned about the state of our minds to being with, then they'd simply leave them alone.

[But he understands Togusa's point.]

Nyardyn Mewzunia But I'll resign myself to a painfully slow process for now, since we have little choice in the matter.
Nyardyn Mewzunia And look, we've summoned my brother.

Hitori Togusa I suppose it was inevitable.
Hitori Togusa But I'll make you the same offer I did him. Any predictions for if/when I start to join in the fun? The sky's the limit here, what have I forgotten about?

Nyardyn Mewzunia Why not start big?
Nyardyn Mewzunia My money is on being a world savior of some sort.
Nyardyn Mewzunia An unyielding warrior, legendary and unstoppable.

Hitori Togusa It is sometimes hard to tell when you're really making fun of me.
Hitori Togusa Nah, it doesn't fit. I'm no hero.
Hitori Togusa Give that one to your brother, he's got more capability, doesn't mind the spotlight.

Hitori Togusa No, that's it, we throw you two into one of those sword-and-sorcery movies, Fynn the Barbarian and Ardyn the Healer: brother heroes. Make millions at the box office.

Nyardyn Mewzunia I'd be fine with that. As long as Fynn remains the Barbarian.
Nyardyn Mewzunia He can be the brawn, and I'm the brains.
Nyardyn Mewzunia Heaven knows he doesn't possess any.

Hitori Togusa Oh, Objection, there.
Hitori Togusa Your brother is brilliant when it comes to the right topics. You cannot be an idiot and shoot that well.

[Come on, let him pick on his brother without having to explain himself for it]

Nyardyn Mewzunia Surely you're not telling me that shooting well and intelligence have any sort of correlation with each other?
Nyardyn Mewzunia You're the one that chose Barbarian for him, after all.
Nyardyn Mewzunia He needs only to yell loudly and hit things with a large club.
Nyardyn Mewzunia Even a simpleton can manage that much.

[He is, of course, mostly joking. Mostly.]
