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!

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.

you're unfortunately kind of right about that

and despite what I said I would rather people I know NOT be on this app...

but it'll be nice to have your perspective on things Takumi

I know I can always count on your brutal honesty and level-headedness (๑•ω•)و✧

thanks... i'll just take this as a compliment.

you know, i've had a bunch of people mention they've been seeing things? but i'm wondering if there's just a gas leak.

[ someone hasn't gone to check out some fruits yet. ]

what, it wasn’t obvious that it was meant to be? o(*≧□≦)o

I WISH it was a gas leak, but...no, it’s not. Things get really messed up for people once you get added to the app

and believe it or not I’ve had visions too

they're kind of intense and not anything that a gas leak could bring on, I promise you that

intense visions? like psychic stuff. i'm not sure how an app is supposed to tamper with our cognitive processes, but

all right. lay it on me. i'm ready for this.

that's a question I've been wondering myself ever since I got this dumb app

anyways

I guess the best way to say it is that I have visions of another Minako

(and you're probably thinking OH MY GOD another Minako! Isn't one enough?! But hear me out)

she's totally different from me, still in high school and some sort of Amazon warrior girl who fights with a spear in this weird impossibly tall tower

she's risking life and limb to get to the top, and I don't know WHY but it's important for her that she does

other people have been getting visions of some other version of themselves too, so they think it might be a past life of some kind

I still don't know what to think of it myself but I have a sneaking suspicion Retrospec has plans for us

I got a spear and gun in the mail from them, the exact same things the other Minako used

and other people have been getting even weirder things

it's almost like you're a mind reader.

i'm starting to see things a little better with that. i know Penelope got a spear, too? all of this is really weird, but if it has to do with these visions it only concerns me even more. it's starting to sound like brainwashing, though... mild? considering their methods.

especially because they sent you a fucking gun. are you serious? i hope you didn't touch it since there may be prints or something on it.

oh you know Penelope!

it...does kind of scarily sound like brainwashing, now that you mention it, and me saying that I touched the gun because it felt like it belonged to me probably won't help my case any

yeah, kind of.

you felt like the gun belongs to you? i'm not even sure what to say... maybe i'm speechless, but you can clearly see i'm typing something.

as long as there's no ammo and you're safe is the important part. but that doesn't change how screwed up it is to send someone a gun. it's usually warning.

I think other people have been getting that feeling with stuff around the city too

my roommate dragged a grandfather clock back to our apartment because she suddenly felt like it was important to her

...yeah I won't bore you with the details but needless to say even knowing it was from Retrospec I freaked out when I saw it. The spear was tame in comparison tbh

they're both weird to receive out of nowhere. both dangerous on a totally different level.

while disturbing, whoever is behind this hasn't been more than just a nuisance.

i hope.

threaten them with a spear if it ever comes to it.

knock on wood (╯︵╰,)

oh yeah, they'll get a spear in the face and a kick in the ass, trust me

but the first thing would be to actually figure out where they are...

you're right. i'll definitely keep an eye out since we don't want to endanger any kids that may be near us...

do you think this is worth mentioning to the higher-ups?

[ He hasn't dealt with people that just brush off their legitimate concerns yet... ]

unfortunately I doubt they'd believe us since they're not Retrospeccers

but that's not going to stop anyone!

we'll keep poking and prodding until we get to the bottom of all this

i'm guessing you're going to bring me along for the ride?

where's my permission slip?

your choice!

and you haven't needed any permission slips the whole time you've been working under me, you know

i want something detailing that my safety is ensured.

or my family is compensated.

it's not too late to start.

hmmm I'll have to see what I can whip up, then, since you insist

but seriously, Takumi, it's good to have you here

let's work together here too, yeah? (｡•⌄•｡)

not like i have much of a choice, right? well, i'm in your care again.

it was nice talking to you... it really helped with all of this weird stuff, but i have to get to work again since the dinner rush is starting.

I'm glad I could help

don't worry, go help your family! You know where to find me if you need me! (｡•v•｡)ﾉ
