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. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

Ami Aihara oh right. like a secret club, huh?

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard In a way? Yes, though there's no secret handshakes just yet.
Chloe Bouchard But definitely a secret nobody else will understand, so we do not share with them.

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara are we supposed to have a secret handshake? Jim there seems to think we're supposed to have a secret handshake.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard It might be the only suggestion I accept of his, because secret handshakes sound fun.
Chloe Bouchard The question should be less 'are we supposed to,' and more 'what should it be?'

Ami Aihara "do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but forsooth?"

Kazuhira Miller "Your honor I'd like to plead insanity and/or demonic possession. Whichever works."

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara shared a photo. just now

[b0mbshell]

Kazuhira Miller I think we just figured out what's wrong with our retrospec rep.

[hooray, glad we agree on its awesomeness!]

Ami Aihara oh is that what the whole vision quest aspect is about? I was a little confused on that

[alienates]

I mean
Probably??
I've had a few and I still have no idea what the fuck is going on.
If you have the app then you're going to get one eventually so you'll see what we mean sooner or later.

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara what was in your visions?

[alienates]

[ he's not really sure how to explain them, since most of his were chat logs that were 1) extremely mortifying and 2) weird as FUCK. how do you tell someone that you are pretty sure you were arguing with yourself except one was like... future you? or something?? how do you explain this level of fuckery when you aren't entirely sure what was happening. ]

For some reason a lot of them were like online conversations??
I typed in grey font that was all caps
Actually hold on
THIS OBNOXIOUS EYEFUCKER.

Ami Aihara thank you, Officer. I really appreciate it

Re: Officer Togusa

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa There's no real need for thanks. I've already been frustrated enough that Retrospec keeps dragging minors into whatever this is they're doing.
Hitori Togusa So, anything I can do to help keep you a little safer, I'll try.

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara ok well, thanks again anyway! haha
are there a lot of kids with Retrospec?

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa There's a significant part of the high school on here. I think the current winner for youngest is a ten year-old.

Aster Alyson Castle it seemed illegal to me too :( theres no way this can be right
Aster Alyson Castle the app forces itself onto our phones and now they get to spy on us??? no wayAster Alyson Castle do you think the police would even be able to help??? i wonder if theyd just say were crazy

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara well there is at least one police officer who has Retrospec! so I think there's a chance :)
of course, I'm not sure how prosecuting a big tech corporation that might be able to reshape reality to its will would go.
(but even if it can't, being a big corporation basically allows you to reshape reality to your will anyway, right? just with money instead of supernatural means.)
so tl;dr I dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ceded]

Aster Alyson Castle oh wow really?
Aster Alyson Castle thats a relief
Aster Alyson Castle we might need a lawyer if we wanted to prosecute them right?
Aster Alyson Castle although... thats a good point, even if its kind of a disturbing one
Aster Alyson Castle that a corporation with enough power and influence could mess with us however it wanted anyway.... i guess that is whats happening here huh
Aster Alyson Castle its just really... literal!
Aster Alyson Castle and also seems kind of impossible or magical or something :|

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara I think you have to be 18+ to sue regardless, so it's out of my hands at least
I don't know how old you are
from what I have heard thus far, though, I'm not convinced that Retrospec itself is to blame for all this?
the impossible magical stuff, I mean, not the creepy stuff. the creepy stuff is pretty undisputable
but I wonder if it's not just that the changes are a natural property of the world, and Retrospec just has advance knowledge of them somehow.
of course I don't have any evidence either way, so that's just a theory

Ami Aihara basically nothing!
dude I just got this app this morning, I am not exactly an expert on it or its parent company or any villainous activities they may be up to :p

Re: Emil

[frisyr]

You too?

Wait, what did you do yesterday? Maybe we can figure out how we both got into this mess!

[livingdeadgirl]

Ami Aihara sure it's as good an idea as any
but I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so you may be disappointed
I finished some English homework, took a nap, watched a movie, and had dinner with my family
just a quiet day in, really
