So, Yuri and I just went to check out the Retrospec building for ourselves. Spoilers, we found jack. But if you want to know exactly what flavor of jack, here's all the details:


First off, the whole place was wide open. Like, the front doors were totally open and there were no security guards or anything. We just walked right in like no one cared or was even in the building. Which is weird, given that it was like 4pm on a Wednesday.


[ Here's a photo of the lobby. To the side, one can make out the edge of the receptionist's desk, and shoved off to the side, a TV and some potted plants. To the other side, a small row of chairs. In the center of the photo, though, is an elevator. ]

Apparently this elevator was missing last month, but it's back now. It doesn't work--if you press the button, it just starts playing the opening lines to some guy's standup comedy show or something from the loudspeakers.

[ This time, a photo of a hallway! To those who have visited Retrospec before themselves, the hallway will look familiar, although...is it longer now? Are there more doors than before there? ]

We found a bunch of doors down this way but all of them were locked, go figure. They were also rigged with joybuzzers or something, so you got shocked every time you put your hand on the doorknob.

[ And lastly, a dedicated photo of the receptionist's desk! It's tidy, almost spotless, with nothing on the desk save for a single pink sticky note with 'Jim + Janet' written on it stuck to the table surface, and a small assortment of desk toys. There's a phone, positioned at an awkward angle on the desk. ]

Nothing useful here either. The desk is completely empty and all the drawers are locked except for the top one. And even then, there's nothing in there but some Retrospec-branded stationery. The phone's not even plugged into anything, but it rang once and when we picked up, it was some voice asking us over and over for a knock knock joke.

I didn't get photos of these, but the chairs were all rigged with whoopie cushions and the TV just plays that dumb dancing fruit Bohemian Rhapsody thing on loop.

So like I said: we found a complete load of nothing. The only April fools around here was us. The whole trip was so useless, it's almost like they were expecting us to show up.

So there you go. So much for getting any more details out of these jerks.

and making assumptions

well

that's one thing
constellates: (★ you making me frustrate)

it sounded like it matched
but ok no new friends

so the differences are
things that people with the retrospec app know or do not know
things that the whole city knows or does not know
things that certain people know or do not know ?
catsudon: (flop | feeling listless)

[personal profile] catsudon 2017-04-11 01:41 am (UTC)(link)

and the practical ones

it is worrying to think that there could be so much we do not remember
catsudon: (chest | DISAPPOINTED)

[personal profile] catsudon 2017-04-11 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think we should worry ourselves too much about it. Right now, there's not a lot we can directly do.
constellates: (★ but tonight i need a damn explain)

[personal profile] constellates 2017-04-11 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
