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.

Honestly this message came in right after I got another creepy photo of the back of my head so it freaked me out a little bit.

[read: she screamed when she got it.]

But I really, really don't think it will be forever, eventually I'll get a new phone.

Ah, there's the rub. Have you any other communicative devices, perchance? Say, a laptop? You may notice the lingering presence of a certain electronic parasite there, as well.

It will always return. 'Tis a stubborn one, indeed! I take no more pleasure in this messy business than you do, but it is better to become accustomed to it sooner rather than later.

I... are you saying that this app is on my laptop too? (I'm honestly not sure, I'm sorry, English isn't my first language)

[about twenty seconds later]

MY LAPTOP WASN'T EVEN CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET! HOW DID THIS GET INSTALLED?

[legne]

In layman's terms, yes.

[ And after the second message comes in: ]

And there it is. Do not fear - that is a common reaction to extraordinary events. Why, even I myself experienced such shock, for a time!

By the way...a system wipe will not have any effect. Trust me, others have tried.
