[recollecters]

Hello Users, For those of you who are new: 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. 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. For all, new and old: Please be advised that should you go above and beyond the call of duty for Mr. Halloway's little game in the coming days, there may be a reward granted or information given. 100% completion would be the goal for that, should you have an interest. If you have no interest in the matter, please feel free to carry on as usual. R&D will not be handling further communiques for this month, or possibly the next few months. This should not, of course, have any impact on your usage of Retrospec™. The first milestone for the second of the colors lost has been met, and accordingly we have diverted resources to fix what could be fixed. R&D has alerted me that a bigger loss may occur in the near future, and I would advise you to be careful, though I am afraid neither they nor I can be much more detailed than that. Finally, I would like to extend congratulations to those of you who have now reached your sixth month. We hope you will continue to accept our assistance in these trying times. Thank you for your patience, Janet Wiseman Human Resources Retrspec Incorporated As of this post green fruits and flowers of this color regain their pigment. (Note: this is not all plants. This is just for flowers and fruits!) 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. Any new characters will find that the first photo they upload is locked as their profile picture for the rest of the month. Characters who have been in game since February will find their profiles now have a 6 months badge. It does absolutely nothing of note.

i'll be sure not to disappoint

[glaciers]

People have been using blue food dye for years.

[negativism]

David Song You know, dear, you keep that up and people will talk.
David Song Also why is Dinah sitting on your laptop.

Kazuhira Miller Great! I'm looking forward to it.

[frisyr]

Usually it's the opposite

Like have you noticed anything else weird yet

[sivard]

A badge?

That's bizarre. I guess they want to make you feel loved.

[b0mbshell]

I think it's mandatory to add one disconcerting thing to each post. I wish they were less vague.

[lalliho]

wiseman gave the tipoff about colors

someone mentioned horses

but all these texts are still the weirdest and most annoying

[glaciers]

It's nice not to be the only one.
I think.

What happens when people get weird memories and we lose colors?

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Oh, good, I don't have to pass that around again. Although it is hilarious to get people's reactions to just exactly what kind of people we're dealing with.
Hitori Togusa Ah, Officer Hitori Togusa, by the way. I know who you are, through Prompto, but have never managed to run into you.

[ this is what you get for texting with souji, mako ]

But again, this all makes sense if we subscribe the theory that we are cut off from the rest of the world. Maybe in just Recolle, the colour blue, the horses, the shrinking, it's all isolated to this one area. By cutting off our connection to the outside world and by putting us through a strict social media app that goes through them, they're in control over who gets to see our comments. And if they're already in control, there's no need to go and restrict what we're trying to say. Nothing we post will make it to the outside world anyway.

It doesn't matter if the government wants to gain our trust. In a few years from now, they'd claim that we were all under the influence of a massive gas leak and we were just hallucinating everything that happened when it turned out that they were actually experimenting on us. This isn't the first time the government has directly lied to the public before. Project MKUltra happened once and it can happen again.

It's been two months, Dave. I think it's safe to assume none of us trust Retrospec by now.

[sivard]

You and me both. When I first started noticing things were off, it was because this lady and I both were watching this old lady walking her dog, only it kept turning into a giant beetle.

It was WEIRD.

[sivard]

Maybe.

Jim and Janet.

Those names have got to be fake.

[seeker]

it's already there. denying it would be pointless. unfortunately.
and i haven't had any other visions about being mocked for being an orphan, so i think i'll take a raincheck on that friendship therapy session.

[tarotcards]

But what if they do, senpai? What if they'll get you first before they go after red and orange? Please don't jynx yourself.

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Yes.

[Which is completely not a sore spot with Togusa right now.]

Hitori Togusa Everything about Retrospec and the app, the changes to the world, but also the people you knew, the experience you had.
Hitori Togusa At least everything since you joined the app.
Hitori Togusa Someone I had reconnected with, I went to go talk to her, and she acted like she hadn't seen me since college. So she at least remembers that. But nothing out of the ordinary in the last six months. Like she's been on autopilot like everyone else.

[livingdeadgirl]

yes exactly!
that is the right attitude

[both optimists, both aggressively friendly... this could be the beginning of a terrifying beautiful friendship]

[seeker]

how about you, prompto?
do you have a crazy conspiracy nut theory too?

[ladytakamaki]

Ugh, seriously? How does this even work? It's taking up so much space on my phone..

[appraiser]

hmm
sometimes
you'll be going about your day and you'll suddenly remember something
and be very confused, or upset, or maybe pleasantly surprised
you can talk to me if that happens, if you'd like

[ladytakamaki]

You like to use a lot of gamer lingo, huh? So...nobody's found anything after all this time?

[insantafe]

Oh, sure. Jumping up and down in anticipation over here.

It's not like any of us have anything better to do, after all.

[glaciers]

It would be, but I don't think they're ready to change anything about their interactions with us yet.

[glaciers]

Everything...
I'm sorry you lost that friendship.
That's awful.
