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.

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

actually, you usually see them when you're awake, right after or sometime after the trigger happens

yeah

it seems like certain places or objects or experiences will be the trigger for visions

for the other Minako, it seemed like she hung out in a really tall tower a lot of the time

so when I went out to the tallest bridge of the Towers mall one day, the vision hit me a little while later

[ . . . Huh, that's actually interesting. if there's an "other Elda" she wonders what sort of proclivities the woman would have had. And then dismisses the thought because it's crazy. ]

If you learn more abut the girl, do you think you will avoid or seek out more of those triggers?

I've already decided I want to know her story, so if the triggers happen, then I'll watch what she has to tell me

I'm not quite as sure as some people are that the things we see are of a past life, but I think it's too early to discount any theory

and given what we know Retrospec is capable of, I honestly wouldn't say it's impossible

You want to know their story without even knowing why you're connected to it, or if the whole thing is even a lie? You're a real odd duck, aren't you, Minako?

haha maybe I am!

it just seemed important to me that I do it

not just because we share the same face but because

I dunno

she seems like she needs someone to witness her struggles
matchbreaker: (the one below was the worse option)

Still odd!

But if you feel that way, that's good, it makes it less intrusive for you. Hopefully I'll feel similar.

[personal profile] complementing 2017-05-08 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so too!

since there's not a lot I can tell you except "brace yourself" for whatever happens, whenever it happens
matchbreaker: (POLKA DOT IT)

I had figured, but that still sounds foreboding.

[ Sigh. ]

So do you have any actual advice beyond what we've said? Otherwise I suppose this'll just be the beginning of our relationship.

if you need medical help, you can talk to Dr Lucian Trevelyan or Dr Grell Sutcliffe

if you get anything in the mail from Retrospec, open the package where people won't be around to be alarmed at what might be inside

if something weird happens, post about it to Retrospec so other people know

and...you know. Just try to live your life normally as best as you can despite all the weirdness

[ Mmmmrrr. Well, she supposes that's about all she can expect. But it's. Good advice. She actually write those doctors names on a piece of paper ]

Those two doctors are on Retrospec, I assume.

Thank you.
