Hey, Users! This month's wikihow is right over here. In other news, don't you just love our logo colors? Such a nice shade of blue. I'm pretty fond of it myself! You know, Janet has blue eyes. But then, I guess you guys don't know anyone with eyes that color anymore, right? Whoops. Anyway, see you next month! Well, some of you anyway. :) Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated As discussed on the monthly plot post the colors blue and green are now gray - except for the blue on the retrospec application logo and their building sign, although no NPC will be capable of seeing the color in these places. As stated in the plot post, NPCs will also seem to be completely unaware that the colors blue and green ever existed. Oops. 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. Last's month's application round characters are now capable of changing their profile pictures.

Hitori Togusa So Jim never leaves.
Hitori Togusa As hilarious as it would be, and as fitting as it would be for Jim to be one of us. Retrospec would certainly think that was funny, I think we can discount the idea.

Viktor Nikiforov I'm not sure I'll discount it completely just yet
Viktor Nikiforov But I don't think a witch hunt is what we need now either
Viktor Nikiforov More importantly, Officer
Viktor Nikiforov How can you be sure there isn't another way out of the building?
Viktor Nikiforov Or that Jim and the rest are not working remotely?

[There are a lot of swear words getting typed and then deleted.]

Hitori Togusa You're right. Why wouldn't they just make the entire building a red herring?
Hitori Togusa One big shell game, why give us one opportunity to pick the right thing when they can give us zero opportunities?
Hitori Togusa Let's suppose that building has a purpose, then. Housing their cloud servers, for example. Or at least enough of a server so that any immediate tracking looks like the server is coming from that location.
Hitori Togusa Do we just try to ignore it completely, then?

[viktorymaker]

Viktor Nikiforov No, I think it's important
Viktor Nikiforov But maybe not the way we'd expect
Viktor Nikiforov For example, if your supposition were right, and the servers were there
Viktor Nikiforov Breaking in and finding them would make it easier for one of us to hack into them
Viktor Nikiforov And surely that would answer a lot of our questions

[ He pauses for a moment here. Well, it's not like any of this is news. It shouldn't be, anyway. ]

Viktor Nikiforov Even if the building were a red herring in terms of straightforward answers
Viktor Nikiforov It may have clues that lead us to more tangible leads
Viktor Nikiforov I don't think we can afford to ignore anything completely

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Right. Even if it doesn't give us the information we want out of it, there is still information that can be gotten from that building.
Hitori Togusa So what is the next move from here, then? Check for signals to and from the building, instead of people?
Hitori Togusa A few other people have tossed out ideas of places to investigate.

[viktorymaker]

Viktor Nikiforov I'd love to hear what they are
Viktor Nikiforov Here or in person, as you prefer
Viktor Nikiforov As for the next move, why not do both?
Viktor Nikiforov We could try a number of different things at once, depending on how many of us there are
Viktor Nikiforov See how many of us they can keep an eye on at the same time

Hitori Togusa I'd be a fool to think other people aren't going into the subway tunnels after my message. But I also think there's more to find in the areas we didn't cover.
Hitori Togusa And anyone is welcome to try again to make it to the center of town. See that phenomenon for themselves.
Hitori Togusa Some of the high schoolers suggested a trip out into Recolle Woods. I think they got inspired by the strange flowers that showed up there last month. I know at least one person who got lost out there thanks to them.
