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'll have to keep that in mind.

Nyardyn Mewzunia Do you ask out of disapproval? Or just trying to get a more accurate sketch of my character, Togusa?

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Figuring out where you stand is interesting.
Hitori Togusa Like I said, I've got no room to talk, only child, all my family's back home.
Hitori Togusa It's a little different with me and Koutarou. More of a mutual-self-deprecation dynamic than seriously teasing each other.

Nyardyn Mewzunia Being an only child means there wasn't a younger sibling always pulling at your sleeve.
Nyardyn Mewzunia Or elder ones always talking down at you.

[But. He'll not go down that route on a public forum, so he steers in a different direction.]

Nyardyn Mewzunia Indulging in "mutual self-deprecation" takes humility; this trait isn't always the most prevalent in the Izunia family.

[Which, in a way, is a compliment for Togusa.]

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa I disagree; real humility isn't just a lowering of one's self, it's having an accurate understanding of yourself and your abilities.
Hitori Togusa There's no self-deception in you,
Ardyn.

[Wow, the use of his first name? It's noted, but not commented upon. (Not that he minds at all.)]

Nyardyn Mewzunia My, I may choose to take that as a compliment, you know.

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa You can try your best to look like you're proving me wrong. I know better.

Nyardyn Mewzunia Whatever you say, Togusa.
Nyardyn Mewzunia I'll not be one to argue the point with you.
