Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options.

Anyway, now that the copypaste part is out of the way! Jim here, requesting you guys make your secret meetings a little more exciting. It's not like you're not trying with the whole "let's meet off the network!" dealio, but I have some serious concerns. For one thing, no secret handshakes or phrases? Not even dramatic meeting locations? The trying rating is about half a star if that. And I'm almost bored to tears with the whole back and forth about what's going on. Not bored enough to give you a cheat sheet, but still. I can't get myself taken off surveillance duty, so at least try to make it a little more exciting!

You guys might like this wikihow. Later!

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. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Characters who have been in game for more than one month will find they can change their profile pictures; newcomers are locked into their first choice.

At various points throughout the day users will be sent images of themselves from behind, regardless of where they are. There doesn't seem to be any way to catch whoever might be taking and sending these, however, especially since being alone in a room doesn't seem to be a deterrent.

i dropped my phone in water and it still works

Gintaro Suzukaze So is this a virus or a weird cult?

[See if he ever ties to do a homework assignment again. (Although admittedly, most of it was browsing the internet anyway.) That's where Silver leaves it off for a moment as he tries to check his phone instead of his lap- wait a minute.]

Is that some kind of alias? You should really let people testing your app pick their own usernames, you know. I can't tell if these are beta accounts for some new MMO or if you're trying to get us to LARP with you or what, but this is a pretty weird way of going about it.

Oops! I think I downloaded something weird again last night! What was I drinking again? (●´ω｀●)ゞ

Oh well! Hello my new friends and old. I think! (*＾▽＾)／

So what colors are the new fun ones for spring? Asking for makeup purposes! ( ˘ ³˘)♥

wait is this like a pepperazi thing or r we going 2 die??

i kno i saw a movie like this

stop taking pix & b creepy 2 my face!!!

ps we dont need ur stupid maps dont u kno google reads it 4 u

[Yukiko is just so done with this shit. Seriously.]

Oh good, another one of these. how incredibly inconvenient.

Welcome to all the new people who've been added into this excitingly troublesome program. I'm sorry that we're meeting this way.

[Several hours later]

Also, please stop taking pictures of me from behind. It's not only rude but it's kind of creepy. Thank you.

Jim Halloway,

Please stop taking pictures of my ass. That goes beyond an invasion of privacy and straight into 'stalking' territory. And it's not cute when you send it to me either.

You made your point. Now go fuck yourself.

Also to anyone reading this, yes I'm mad. And no, I can't catch them. I've tried all afternoon to rig up something but I just keep getting pictures sent to me. Got any better ideas than rigging up 360 degree camera coverage, hit me up.

so is this one of those alternate reality games

the kind like w/ that tall dude
the spooky tall dude w/ the tentahands or w/e

im p. sure you can't take creep pics of me w/o my consent and use it in ur funky online shit

w/e w/e w/e
im also p. sure this has nothing to do with that but if it does, bug off because i'm not guilty of shit

peace

Alright.
um.
I'm never taking my phone into the bathroom again

Jim is absolutely right. We need to employ secret handshakes immediately along with code names. Please inform me of your handshake and name.

I will be Sir Purrsalot. My handshake will involve refusing to acknowledge you but then paw you for attention when you look away.

[ Souji absolutely knows that they're saying their code names online over the app, but he's just doing this for fun. ]

Also, can someone come over and help me tape a picture of a cat on my back? So at least when I'm receiving these images that I'm looking at something cute.

Man disappointed by subpar antics viewed on social media makes tedious, longwinded complaint about boredom on social media.

I'm glad all those cosmic powers you folks are meddling with haven't impaired your fine senses of irony. Or is that just entitlement?

I see Retrospec is continuing the trend of "look at what we can do." But where is the villainous laugh, I wonder? If they're going to play the part of the mysterious untouchable company, they should show more commitment.

[Isa has hit the point where all he can do is snark.]

is anyone else getting weird pictures

is

is this app haunted

Yeah. That's real nice. Classy.

So if anyone doesn't feel safe or wants to be around other people and wants company, then my place is free. Or I'll be at the park. Jellybean needs a walk anyway.

PS: tell me that I didn't hallucinate the giant bugs last month because it's like no one seems to remembers they're around.

You cut my head off you dumb fuck.

Can't you do anything right?

hi, jim! nui here ✌🏻 but you're probably busy responding to all those support requests you just got, right? is this a one-man job, jim? jeez...

so i'd love to give you five big, BIG stars, but i've noticed a few glaring missing features here. customization is a huge feature these days, isn't it? i'm on social media to be social, which means expressing myself!

finally, the camera capabilities are severely lacking! you didn't even get the upskirt shot! so if you can't even demonstrate functional cameras, you'd better stop before someone really gets into trouble, right, you total pigs?

definitely not the last app i'll ever need! ⭐️⭐️

[One new app, three hours, five pictures of himself, a few realizations, half a dozen freak outs and several failed attempts to ignore it all later...]

i've officially lost it. i knew i was fucked up but i didn't think it would happen like this? couldn't it at least have happened for a reason instead of randomly? what's the point?

i don't know if it's more comforting or less that there are apparently other people going through this shit. maybe i'm just hallucinating to make myself feel better and that's failing too

[The only saving grace is that he had literally no pictures of himself on his phone before this, and so his profile picture is something from a book, rather something to link the name Ben Solo to his face.]

Edited (whoops i should probably specify more than that) 2017-05-02 03:24 (UTC)

alright i gotta admit im with jim on the handshakes and location thing
like come on people we could be going frickin hollywood stylish and shit here and were having mannerly little get-togethers? lame

more importantly theres a girl that just moved into town named angel dawes
shes my daughter
yknow my heartsong light of my life etc
and if anybody does anything to upset her in any way i will personally wreck your goddamn shit and ruin your life so if you see her you better shit skittles and rainbows while shes around
or else

[ Then, just a moment later: ]

i am however fine with the stalker shots and wholeheartedly encourage them
its really hard to check out how fine my ass is otherwise

Edited 2017-05-02 03:20 (UTC)

The creepy pervert photos are going way too far!
They took a picture of me in my bedroom!
What the hell?!

I'll be sure to add these helpful notes to my conspiracy board.

At this point I'm not even sure I'm surprised by the creepy stalker photos. This stupid disaster just keeps escalating, and I have too much schoolwork to deal with already. So fuck off, Jim.

What is this? I did not sign up for this, nor do I wish to be a part of it. Furthermore, these photographs are at best stalking and criminal harrassment. I will be taking evidence of this to the police to demonstrate the criminal activity of this bizarre 'social media'.

It's the reporters all over again. Can't a woman grade her students' papers in peace without getting creepy photos??

Well joke's on you. I hope you like taking pictures of a woman wearing a horse mask until you stop this. We'll see who breaks first. [ ainSLEY NO. ]

hey screw you jim!

he does have a point tho

ok who here can do crazy coding and stuff
wait shit i shouldnt ask that here either

Perhaps if you find your surveillance work to be too boring, you should hire better photographers.

I would ask that those members of the Recollé Police Department who have been afflicted with this application look into how these photos are being taken, but I expect you already are. Is it too much to hope that these reprobates have left behind any evidence for once?

Well now I know that photo I was sent last month is definitely someone's bad sense of humor.

None of these pictures I am being sent show my face.

The real question is: I was alone for a good portion of these. There's no way for someone to take a picture of my back in my office. I suppose it's time to look for tiny holes in walls now.

ok so not that this isn't creepy as hell or anything, but they're not even good pictures! there are like 10 dozen shirtless pics of me on google so what was even the point. anyone is welcome to check that out btw ;)

for real tho, does anyone have an idea what's going on with this? cause i'm beginning to feel a lawsuit coming on
