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.

Hitori Togusa Oh! Mrs. Yata. I'm terribly sorry that you've gotten dragged into this. No one has figured out how to delete the application yet.

What is this exactly?
I'm not sure I understand what they want us to test.
Is this like facebook?
Because I already have one of those.


[Which she can barely use anyway.]

Hitori Togusa Like it in function, yes. But the makers of the app seem far more involved and interested in our lives.
Hitori Togusa They've been bringing in people from the city, seemingly at random. But there have been other interferences in our lives, that seem to be stemming from Retrospec.
Hitori Togusa There are some things I'm going to have to warn you about. And they might seem nonsensical, but I assure you I'm telling the truth.
wyvern_friend: (Oh how sloppy of me)

[personal profile] wyvern_friend 2017-05-02 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Warn me about?
This app isn't dangerous is it?
standalonehuman: (TogusaThoughtful)

[personal profile] standalonehuman 2017-05-02 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
The app is not, no. Well. Actually, I take that back, our phones were shocking us two months ago if we didn't comply with something arbitrary they wanted.
But, the users of the application have been experiencing some other problems. Memories that don't make sense, but that everyone is certain are real.
wyvern_friend: (Still standing?)

[personal profile] wyvern_friend 2017-05-02 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
They were shocking people?
Is that legal?


[She's pretty sure it isn't.]

And what do you mean memories that make no sense?
standalonehuman: (TogusaConcerned)

[personal profile] standalonehuman 2017-05-02 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
It's really illegal.

[Ah, but now Togusa has to seriously think. What is he allowed to reveal? Because he still has to use someone else's example. Perhaps not Ardyn's or Koutarou's. Koutarou's, especially, hits too close to home.]

Well. I wouldn't know, myself. But, someone posted about remembering themselves on a feudal Japanese battlefield. As if they were at the head of an army.

It makes no sense. But, to him, it was like something out of his past.

Goodness!
So it's like a hallucination?
That sounds terrifying.
Wait just a moment.
It beeped.


[It takes her way too long to figure out how to view the picture she'd been sent.]

They sent me a photo.
Of myself.


[Cherche does not like the implications of that at all.]

More like a dream? Sometimes they have come to people while sleeping, apparently.

What? Are people following us again?

A few months ago, we were being followed around by reporters. But they were quite obvious about what they were doing. Did you see anyone take the picture?
wyvern_friend: (How charming...)

[personal profile] wyvern_friend 2017-05-03 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
A dream doesn't sound as bad.
Although I'd rather not try it myself.

I didn't see anyone but the picture was taken from behind so it is possible I missed them.
But I can't even imagine who would want a picture of me doing the dishes.

When this was happening last time, Gentiana was fairly certain that we were being watched through the cameras and microphones in our own phones. I'll admit I've taken to boxing up my phone at night so it can't see me.

If you left your phone on the table behind you? This is a part of what I was trying to explain. Strange things keep happening and it all gets tied back to this application company.
