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.

There's a zoo here in the city. You could see if they have elephants there.

.... yeah. I'm glad I could grant your wish. Maybe if we're lucky, we'll be able to keep granting each other's wishes.

[wherethewildthingsare]

That's what the app does.

[ teasing sena is really fun okay. ]

yea.

so recently i picked up a pink cellphone that felt really familiar.

but it's owned by someone who shared the same name and voice as my sister, so it was pretty creepy, y'know?

then it turned out, it belonged to my past(future, whatever idek) self's sister.

so the memory, pop quiz time!

how could a guy inherit his sister's phone aside from her lending it to him?

[adoringpast]

[ Give him a moment. Why are you giving him a goddamn pop quiz during summer?

...Until it hits him, and Sena widens his eyes at the phone he's holding. ]

what the fuck

[ HOW ELOQUENT ]

[yamagishi]

It does make me wonder what other colors they're going to take. It was a little depressing seeing my clothes all grey.

[yamagishi]

Is that something I should be worried about?
Especially now that Jim is gone?

[impulsives]

if the answer is 'she died while my past self was retrieving her phone', then you're correct.

...apparently i was living in a time of war, and a stray laser beam from one of the giant robots hit a place my past self wasn't conveniently in, and the force of the explosion blew him away.

by the time my past self came to...

well.

it wasn't pretty.

and that's why i haven't been able to sleep today.

it's one thing to watch a series about war to enjoy the drama, and another thing entirely to experience it personally, y'know?

[adoringpast]

what's that supposed to me, you brat? the fruits were always like this, and it's not because im always pissed off. why are you already assuming how people are from the way they type?? so annoying.

[ but yeah, akira pretty much nails it ]

[yamagishi]

I'm not sure what's going on but if they need help with a strategy, I'm sure we can find someone for them.

[yamagishi]

I sure hope that this game will be better than the ones I played.

I hope it's worth it.

[maskreant]

[ There are so many responses he can send Akechi... The one that springs up is why are you like this? ]

i'm sure there's someone out there that's perfect for you, so for now

hands off my cat.

[impulsives]

ok, he just graduated high school, adopted like 6 cats, probably even more since we last talked.

he's super nice and really outgoing too, definitely an 5-star listener for your problems too so that's a plus.

yea, jim's part of R&D apparently, and well, he's p much a shitty person all around.

[yamagishi]

Why models?

[No seriously, why??]

[yamagishi]

Goodness, that is quite a lot to handle! However, I suppose I should have expected a lot of information coming my way.

[doublesmall]

not guaranteed to be every week, mind, but the way the memory shit happens? you never know when it's gonna hit. best to just assume you're not gonna get much of a break.

honestly, that's almost what we did-- I wanted to see if we could make a jacuzzi or something but apparently that can be fatal. someone's always gotta be a buzzkill.

so would you mind if I ask a few questions about that, sometime? been thinking about getting into it myself, maybe have something new for the bar's stock eventually, but haven't gotten around to trying yet.

[adoringpast]

[ It's no that Sena is sympathetic, but... damn. Now he totally regrets that one time he and Takumi were talking smack about him when Takumi had told him about his own war flashbacks just a couple of weeks ago.

Huh. Those two seem pretty alike, after all. What's with them telling a sourpuss like Sena their tragic backstories anyway? ]

But are you sure that's your sister?

I'm not that familiar with your family life here but you have to make sure about that first.

[yamagishi]

My thoughts exactly, I know I don't want to play this game either!

The graphics aren't even that great.

[okitactless]

well yes that's true...
but it's a little late to scold them now right? I don't think they'd even remember what they did
so you can just work on training them right away so that things like this don't happen again

I'd apologize for this punk but I'm not sorry

[ it's more like shin believes sena is a neutral third party, to balance his really close friend in souji in order to get a more objective opinion in these matters.

basically someone to discuss these memories with who don't have a personal stake in shin's well-being just yet. ]

it felt like it. there was a deep sorrow within his being when he saw the scene. and... well, it definitely gave me some insight on why my past self would be related to the military.

......she looked and sounded like my sister would if she's straight and proper rather than being a messy art student, let's put it that way. And I remembered that my past self and her were younger then, too.

of course... my family here is still fine, but... it's just... weird and scary, i guess.

[yamagishi]

I'm not sure how they survived but I know I wouldn't have. Most of my clothes are blue and green.

It'll be quite boring to have to wear grey all the time.

[yamagishi]

It'll be pretty interesting to see what happens should they run out of J names though.

[yamagishi]

I wonder is there a way to ragequit this game.

Your guess is as good as mind however. Although, I'll be quite mad should they get rid of blue or green.

[yamagishi]

Oh? Have you been here for six months?

Congrats! Although, I'm not sure if it's something to celebrate about.

[yamagishi]

If it is a prank, I want to unsubscribe.

It'll make things easier.
