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! Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated 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.

Yeah, it sounds like this is a pretty big step up from the marriage proposal video.

[true_noir]

In a way, it is less, since they transformed apples forever or implied that they did. In a way, it is more because they're invading our private lives very personally.

[sotenbori]

What's the point of holding all this shit over us, if they're also giving people powers?

Doesn't it seem like that'd kind of defeat the point?

[true_noir]

The same reason that they hid a knife in my couch and my underwear drawer. They aren't afraid of us at all, clearly not afraid in the slightest. They're very confident, aren't they?

[sotenbori]

Maybe they should be afraid.

[true_noir]

Maybe they should, though first they have to be somewhere we can find. After all, nobody with the name Jim Halloway or something like it in this city is actually associated with this company. It might not even be a real name.

Trying to find them the traditional way doesn't work.

[sotenbori]

Sounds like they basically handed you the non-traditional way.

[true_noir]

In a way, perhaps. The only problem is not being sure what that non-traditional way is, not to mention not wanting to say it here, where they're watching, yes?

[sotenbori]

Guess so, this is pretty public.

[true_noir]

And if they can find out everything that they have elsewhere already, then they can at the very least read these comments pretty easily.

[sotenbori]

That logic only goes so far if they're stalking us, though. Technically no where is safe.
