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

Steven Squawking sometimes I get the feeling that whoever's behind this app knows exactly what our next moves will be
Steven Squawking maybe that's paranoid, but it's also not something I can ignore. that weird feeling of being watched and people knowing what my life's going to do next? not big on the "easy to predict" thing
Steven Squawking stay as unpredictable as possible, elliecat. it'll be better for everybody

[Yes he knows her real name by now, but that nickname is unfortunately going to stick.]

Elliecat The scientist in me wants to say seeing the future is impossible.
Elliecat But given everything else impossible that's happened, I can't really discount anything.
Elliecat But if they do somehow know what we're going to do, that'll make it much harder to try to stop them.
Elliecat We'd have to figure out how they're doing it, and then find ways to counter that. Like, if we abruptly do things we wouldn't normally do does that change things?
Elliecat If you flap your wings in tokyo do you change the future, Squawking?

[Oh great.]
chiseler: (see them running for their lives)

Steven Squawking this is the whole "science versus fiction" argument isn't it? I want to say the impossible will stay impossible but that's definitely not true anymore
Steven Squawking a butterfly effect, right? or a bird effect, whatever. abruptly changing what we normally do sounds like a good theory to try
Steven Squawking if I ever flap my wings differently, you'll be one of the first to know
notyourutopian: Do not take! (If I could kill you with my mind...)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-05-01 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Elliecat Well, we tend to change the definition of impossible fairly often anyway.
Elliecat Curing a plague was impossible. Going to the moon was impossible. Until it wasn't.
Elliecat But some of the things they don't...I don't know.
Elliecat Well what would you change? If you could?
chiseler: (it was really only you)

[personal profile] chiseler 2017-05-01 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Steven Squawking curing a plague and going to the moon was for the benefit of mankind. what benefits do we get by swapping out entire species and scrambling our brains?
Steven Squawking and...I don't know. depends on if you mean in this life or whatever my old one was doing. does it matter?
notyourutopian: Do not take! (Distant and considering.)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-05-01 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Elliecat Nah, I didn't mean it was useful.
Elliecat I meant everyone thought it was impossible.
Elliecat Ugh. Let's say this one. The real one.
chiseler: (you're getting better all the time)

[personal profile] chiseler 2017-05-01 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Steven Squawking good point.

[And then there's a long lull.]

Steven Squawking I'd have a bigger bar, what else?

[Everything else he'd change seems way too personal.]
notyourutopian: (Amused Stare)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-05-02 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Elliecat Hey, aim big I guess.
Elliecat Fast car?
chiseler: (nice work you did)

[personal profile] chiseler 2017-05-02 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Steven Squawking only if I had somewhere to go
Steven Squawking but I think I'd rather fly instead
Steven Squawking but speaking of flying I should probably get back to work instead of screwing around on the creeper-app. I'll catch you later?
notyourutopian: (Restless Nights)

Elliecat I don't know. I like driving to relax.
Elliecat Yeah. Later!
