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.

[personal profile] complementing 2017-05-02 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
wow don't say that in a place he can read it lmao your tact is amazing as ever

anyways what did he tell you? He probably wasn't wrong if he's not a newbie Retrospeccer

a lot of the stuff that happens on or because of this app is pretty hard to believe as it is, untrustworthy cousins notwithstanding

terra never forgives, terra never forgets
unless theres like, a nice heartfelt apology, but it depends rly

he basically said they're gonna get us used to making weird stuff happen and then kill us all

im paraphrasing obvs but u kno

[personal profile] complementing 2017-05-02 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
I think you're paraphrasing too much...but I'm going to answer seriously so shut up a sec

okay so we don't know if they want to kill us, and honestly with the world-changing powers they have I'd say they're capable of it, but at the same time they haven't done anything but 'weird stuff'

weird stuff being knowing our deepest secrets and making everyone forget horses existed and giving us visions...the list goes on

we don't know why it's happening or how they can make it happen but it's pretty obvious we're in this for the long haul

and now you've been inducted into that special group too
lingeringwill: (Eh)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-05-02 04:57 am (UTC)(link)

well think about it

everything that used to be horses are now chocobos

up until now you just thought chocobos were normal because you weren't a Retrospeccer yet

yeah secrets but don't worry, that happened a couple months ago

HOPEFULLY it doesn't happen again

now i have to be paranoid...

i can't believe you've been dealing with this and i didn't know...

[personal profile] complementing 2017-05-02 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
don't feel too bad about it

there wasn't a lot I could've done to make you see reason, if you were still stuck as a normal civilian

[personal profile] complementing 2017-05-02 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
no

I mean I guess I wouldn't rule it out but

you'll see what I mean once you start getting the visions
lingeringwill: (sad)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-05-02 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
"visions"

oh jesus christ

do i even want to know, mina
complementing: (Default)

[personal profile] complementing 2017-05-02 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
at the risk of sounding dramatic

you'll learn whether you want to or not

certain objects or locations in the city, certain activities, doing something in a certain way-- any of them could be a trigger for a vision

standing on top of the Tower bridges did it for me a couple of times, for example, as did visiting the gun range




also having coffee with a friend (◕‿◕✿)
lingeringwill: (Eh)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-05-02 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
whatever ur implying with that dead eyed smiley, i don't like it did i fuck up that one time and give you a traumatic vision i swear to god i just wanted a hot drink what is this am i on trial

but yeah, noted i guess...ill uh

complementing: (Default)

[personal profile] complementing 2017-05-02 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
(◕‿◕✿) not implying anything at all I just like messing with you

and

more seriously

if you need someone to talk to about what you see, I'm here for you

[personal profile] complementing 2017-05-02 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
you don't have to apologize for something you couldn't help

and just because you weren't on the app doesn't mean you were being a terrible friend outside of it
lingeringwill: (Thinking)

[personal profile] lingeringwill 2017-05-02 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
I guess

you've kind of been living this whole life without me even knowing

it's weird
complementing: (Default)

[personal profile] complementing 2017-05-02 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
even outside of this app, nobody is ever really privy to all the details of another person's life

and anyways for better or worse you're a part of the Retrospec life now too so

buckle in, it's gonna be a wild ride
