[2] joint post!
Hi, everyone. Shirogane-san and I had an idea we wanted to approach the rest of you with. We were discussing the impact Retrospec seems to have on its users, and what we might be able to find out about that connection.
Thank you, Narukami.
Through all of the memory issues facing us, there seems to be one constant: the presence or absence of the Retrospec app. Those with the app on their phones have a certain memory, those without it have another. Logically, only one group can be right. Either horses and faceless fruit once existed, or they never have. One group has had its memories tampered with. Either Retrospec is the cause of this tampering, or it is inoculating us to it.
With that in mind, we’d like to ask for volunteers to cease all usage of Retrospec for one week. We know it’s a lot to ask, but no other normal activities should be restricted.
Indeed. And as a further control group, we’d like some other volunteers to refrain from using their phone at all during this time period-- this way, we can isolate if it is Retrospec, something else on our technology, or this hypothesis is completely false.
We don’t have any compensation that we can offer you for this experiment other than the possibility of answers. We hope this is compelling enough on its own, though if you insist on some kind of payment, we’ll try to think of something.
Knowledge is, ideally, its own reward. But yes. Something.
Let us know if you have any questions, and, of course, if you’d like to volunteer. Thanks for your time.
( ooc: you can check out ooc information about this post right on over here! in short, nothing will actually happen as a result of staying off the network. anyway, both yu and naoto will be responding to replies here! )

it would b nice 2 know that we have something more secure tho

I wonder if that's possible. Any device with Retrospec on it, even if you're using a different app, might be at risk.

im no comp wiz kid so idk how to do it but im sure theres like multiple layers of encryption and stuff u can do right?
i mean thats how the deep web works
bouncing stuff off multiple servers so its basically untraceable
no subject
I wonder if there's anyone experienced with technology that I could ask.
no subject
we could do a call out or something?
