[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.

definitely both, preferably at the same time

i work at club sunshine so i add flirting to the mix too

but unlike me, you're not a Very Hot and Handsome Eligible Bachelor so that's not really an option for you

[originallutece]

You'll have to help me, you realize.

[tarotcards]

You only own one orange-coloured item?

[hollywooding]

i can't think of a better bonding experience than suddenly realizing you were being controlled by someone and waking up from it, so.
my name's mary saotome.

i get it, i guess.
i think i knew some people who were more distant than they had been before: it makes sense now.
because of the app.

[doitrockapella]

Robotics isn't such an outlandish pursuit to remember. Are they not scientifically inclined, normally, or...?

[alitaba]

Maybe we unlock them when we hit a certain level.
Oooh I hope that means we'd get something even cooler afterwards.

[notyourutopian]

You can't delete it.
Well you can but it comes back.
If you throw out your phone it shows up on a new one.
And if you try just using your computer it shows up on that.

It's like spyware for every aspect of our lives.

[Why does his name look familiar. Hmm...]

[doitrockapella]

And all of them as expensive as the first, I presume.

[erythristic]

to everyone that's saying "what's next, red?", i advise you to hush yourselves before jim gets any ideas. some of us need red in order to live.

that said, i see we've gotten a collection of new faces on this application, and i'd like to take the moment to introduce myself. my name is grell sutcliffe, and along with lucian trevelyan, i offer medical assistance and advice to those changed by retrospec to deal with things you can't tell a doctor who doesn't understand. yes, you can be physically changed via this company and application, no, it most likely won't be painful, and most importantly, you're not alone in it happening.

both dr. trevelyan and myself promise discretion and aid to the best of our abilities - ms. arisato's directory has the best way to get in contact with us as well as a few more details. i've been on this application for six months, and i can say confidently that if you have a question, ask - another of this userbase likely has an answer for you.

now we can go back to the marvel that ms. wiseman is a real person answering us and not simply the idol of jim's dreams.

[saburai]

I think it would be hard for her not to.

Still, a reminder or two couldn't hurt.

[originallutece]

They're bloody psychotic. Good luck trying to eat apples anymore.

[She's kind of annoyed about that, actually. Rosalind frowns as she reaches for a pancake and some duck.]

Beyond that . . . let's see. Do you remember everyone being a few inches tall two months ago?

[hollywooding]

*twelve*?
you're so bougie it makes me a little sick.

i'm getting in my car, by the way.

[doitrockapella]

My sentiments exactly. A gray-letter day doesn't have nearly the same ring to it, for example.

[notyourutopian]

Oh yeah it's 100% a threat.
The soft wording just makes it worse somehow I think.

[impulsives]

yea, it took me for a loop when I first realized it too.

wait till you remember the fact that the color blue used to exist as well. but yeah, going to what you said, either our cognition were probably altered prior to having this app, or it's just the reverse of it.

[openhanded]

'I am glad of all details, whether they seem to you to be relevant or not.'
you can tell Sir Doyle was a scientist on that alone.

it's just a lot of little things lining up, that's all.

[doitrockapella]

And what were you late for, precisely?

[tarotcards]

I am serious when the time calls for it. We must all step up and rise against Retrospec and fight for our colours before they take away more from us.

[ Does this overdramatic nonsense help a bit? ]

[rygdea]

Lalala~? I really don't know how that song goes but it's cute.

Chocobo riding must be pretty damn fun now that I think about it. I never tried it since well, we have cars in this day and age.

[vendettastool]

Seafood is pretty common where I come from. But that's good too.

[tarotcards]

Are you asking me to betray my own uncle? My family? Professor, that is far too cruel.

[adoringpast]

im calling the police

[originallutece]

He has two nephews, he'll be fine.

[tarotcards]

Is it? It's the same underlying issue though.

[doitrockapella]

...Why, my dear Rosalind, are you suggesting that an apple a day has, in fact, kept the doctor away?

[God help us all, she's always like this. But it's an attempt at getting Rosalind to laugh, probably, so at least there are good intentions.]

...No, I think...I do remember something like that, vaguely, but it's distant. As though it wasn't really consequential enough to be worth remembering, at the time, so I didn't bother to.
