[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.

Hitori Togusa Ardyn said something about the two 'people' for lack of a better term trying to reconcile. This Togusa and the other Togusa. This James and the other one. That might take more time than just trying to replace one with the other.

[standalonehuman]

Just trying to get in the spirit of things.

That's way more of an American idea, anyway. Back home, it'd be one giant monster, not bunches of little ones.

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Detective Matsuoka is nice. He's more of the people side of the job, observant and cautious. Detective Gabranth is great at his job, but less personable. He's definitely the first guy I'd turn to when things are getting dangerous, though, to keep us doing our jobs.

[follow down the rabbit hole]

[saburai]

I'd be amazed if anyone did.

[Things nobody needs to know: the half minute or so Aizawa spent squinting at that first bit, trying to decide whether or not that was indeed actually a joke. Verdict is still unsure but for the sake of...continuing the conversation....]

I'm not going to ask if you're serious about that suggestion...

"Uncomfortable" seems to be putting it lightly. Are you speaking from experience?

[godcards]

Janet isn't trying to piss anyone off, even if she's still useless. Her tone is more tolerable. I prefer this over the wikihow links and passive-aggression.

[dryeye]

The more I hear about what others have dealt with since getting this app, the more I wonder if twenty dollars would be worth actually sticking around for. If not sticking around were an option, which it doesn't seem to be. Beside the point, I guess.

I wonder if there's a certain type of person they're picking out for this app...

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Well, Prompto has a habit of talking about everyone. Not a bad thing.
Hitori Togusa I am. Recolle police. You're going to school with Prompto?

[storytelleroftime]

Just based off of who I've talked with? No, there doesn't seem to be. There's people of all types on here, no easily traceable commonalities available. Makes everything a lot more difficult.

[liberal_arts]

Do you think you'd do any better?

[dryeye]

[Well, all that sure is. Super reassuring........]

Overwhelming certainly seems to be the word for something like that. I think I'm starting to understand now.


Can't say I'm looking forward to it. This kind of thing has been happening to everyone using this app?

[liberal_arts]

It does! Birds of paradise, to be specific.

[liberal_arts]

Unless your face won't be in frame at all, it is what will ultimately be the most important, deciding factor in how well you do. That's why we start there.

[dryeye]

Unsurprising, but still disappointing. A discernible pattern would have been something to start going off of...

What sort of person are you?

[Tired curiosity, at this point, but well. Apparently this is a social networking app, so. Might...as well get what he can out of it while he's here talking on this thing, he guesses....]

[liberal_arts]

Prepare to be further disappointed, then. We users are something of a fascinating subject as of late.

[storytelleroftime]

A 29 year old playwright.

What about you?

[liberal_arts]

I'm afraid not. It is that much more intrusive and rude than it has ever been.

[appraiser]

things happening to the world around us is surely noticeable for everybody using the app
who without it don't appear to be as distressed when faced with similar issues

[liberal_arts]

There's always one in every group, it seems. You know the type.

[daemonized]

Of course. And I find it flattering to see an echo of such a familiar style in your own.

[Learn from the best, indeed.]

I appreciate it, you know. The same can be said of myself, if you ever need anything.

[That is also sincere.]

[daemonized]

The math isn't very /difficult/. Which "kids", exactly? And what are they trying to calculate?

[daemonized]

Let's not test fate, shall we?

You're right, of course. Not even so much as a card from myself. I'm petty like that.

[daemonized]

[Ardyn is...not a video game nerd, but. He gets the general gist of what Kaiba is trying to say?]

The power of teamwork and all that. Cliche, isn't it? But at this juncture, I think it's very much a necessity.

[daemonized]

Honestly? What is it that we've gotten to "choose" at this point? Next to nothing, I think. They'll not give us such a power, not even for the illusion of making us feel like we're in control.

And yet information is information. Precious when it's so rare.
