Maurice was going to do this, but Maurice sucks so I sent him home before he could. Anyway, some of you may have noticed our new poll feature! We just don't have the time and resources to cater to all your "where is x item, what the fuck" complaints, so we had to streamline. The polls were the result of that! Coded them myself. I mean, Maurice did some of it, but I did most of it. So basically we're democratically crowd-sourcing what we're going to bother to fix for you! You can send thank you notes to the building, HR doesn't mind. So far it seems like you all care about the color blue most, so we fixed it! A little, anyway. I suggest a bracing walk through the woods if you particularly missed the color and don't feel like gazing deeply into a hobo's eyes. You've all been reading up on QR codes, right? You might also want to learn to start a fire. Just a tip. Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated As per the World Regains tracker, fruits and flowers that were once blue are once again blue. This includes the echo flowers in the Recollé woods! NPCs seem to be incapable of seeing this color still, however, and will not note any differences. The color does not seem capable of being transferred to anything else, either, and any attempts to do so will simply fade the color of the thing you were trying to use to do that. Furthermore, one thread of at least 10 comments from you from this post may be supplied for one untriggered memory by linking the thread and in explanation putting "June Freebie". This may only be claimed through the rest of June, and may not be claimed after the month ends. 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.

i've heard "better the devil you know," but i suppose imagination can be a powerful thing.

unfortunately, i can't help but think there's someone worse than him that works at this catastrophe masquerading as a company.

[alienates]

There probably is.
I wouldn't think the person in charge would waste time doing grunt work like this?
Unless this is one of those times where it's like
~~THE MAIN VILLAIN WAS IN FRONT OF YOU ALL ALONG~
Bullshit deals.

[lostapprentice]

i can't say i'd be surprised either way. perhaps if jim is in charge, he just likes to see how all of these changes are screwing us over firsthand.

all he seems to actually do is post once a month anyway. it's not as if we can take him at his word that he's doing anything else given the complete lack of transparency.

[alienates]

Basically??
He doesn't even interact with anyone in the replies, he just posts shit then goes.
You can't even know for sure if they're even reading this because it'll be pretty obvious that we're complaining about it all.

[lostapprentice]

and yet they're clearly capable of watching us at any time, no matter where we are or what we're doing. it's schrodinger's stalker.

i can't imagine they'd orchestrate all of this and not read at least some of it, though. why not get the satisfaction of screwing over a bunch of innocent people who were just minding their own business?

[alienates]

Or they follow us to keep an eye on those who might actually be onto something??
Because hilariously the app they forced on us is the best way for us to communicate with each other since organization irl meetups is fucking ass.
So people probably spill a lot of information here that they probably shouldn't otherwise??

[lostapprentice]

i wouldn't be surprised if they started targeting those types somehow.

sharing things here is simultaneously an awful idea and something i'm grateful for. i'd hardly know any of what's been found if people hadn't been.

do you have personal experience with trying to organize something?

[alienates]

Not yet.
I've thought about it?
I was invited to a thing and might attend but that's not really the same as me organizing it myself.

[lostapprentice]

i'd think organizing a meeting would be as easy as giving a place and a time. though i suppose that would allow retrospec to know about it as well, assuming they aren't simply omniscient.

[Whatever. They can know about everything for all he cares, it's not going to stop him from trying to fight back somehow.]

[alienates]

We could always just tell people about it in person and then have them spread it to everyone else they know in person.
It'll like
Eventually get to at least most people that way???
Probably more slowly but it's the best way if you want to make sure Retrospec shitheads don't find out.

[lostapprentice]

slowly enough i'd wonder if it would make any difference. especially considering how much people communicate with phones.

[That, plus the wide variety of people on this thing... Ren can't imagine it would be a simple affair.]

the difficulty of how to talk to each other is just another thing in the list of ways they're screwing us over, i suppose.

[alienates]

I am pretty sure he mocked us about that actually.
So they are completely fucking aware of how much we're scrambling around to organize something that even remotely resembles any type of movement.
We can always use other services I guess, but considering they got this shit on our phones in the first place I would not be surprised if they are also monitoring our normal text messages.

[lostapprentice]

i do vaguely recall the mentions of a lack of secret meetings and his disappointment.

[He was a bit occupied by questioning his entire reality, but that sure was something that happened.]

their overconfidence is something i'm sure we can take advantage of, at least. at some point. [You know, after they get some organization going or something.]

[alienates]

Oh man
Smacking their smug smiles off of their shit faces is going to feel so fucking great once we finally pull something on them.
I personally hope it's in person so I can record it, but I'll settle for screenshots.

[lostapprentice]

in person is the only way we can be sure we've actually done something. not to mention being that much more satisfying.

i'll remind people to bring cameras just in case.

[alienates]

I'm sure if we attempted to take pictures with our phones then they'll fucking combust or something.
Maybe erupt in an explosion of glitter.
I hate that this is a real possibility.
