[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'm interested in knowing the kinds of "cutting-edge algorithms" they used to determine the demographics best suited to try out this app of theirs, but it does seem to be top of the line... Truly a one stop shop for social media.

Their obvious agenda to have a monopoly on the internet and using "selected" beta participants to ensure that they have an audience to use their app aside, I really don't like knowing my apples dance. The fact I've been living in ignorance of this and eating them...

[ugh.]

It's off putting, to say the least. [The least.] I thought it'd be one of the first things they'd divert their resources to fixing. The colors aren't as pressing in my opinion.

[It does make his modelling gig a little weird. How do they even pick out what looks best when there's certain colors missing from existence? He's missing his blues. Grey looks so plain on him.]

[browbeater]

call me crazy, but i didn't take that message to mean we were losing anymore colors. which makes it... slightly more ominous, tbh.

[lalliho]

I think I'll try the exorcism anyway

easier than learning my phone settings to find where to turn off all these stupid notifications

[surprising]

maybe they love keeping us in suspense
after all, they probably liked watching us freak out about the loss of blue and green

[youraffection]

yea pm
but without the rugged swagger and bg music
so i didnt feel badass at all

[bloodbiter]

Could you be a bit more specific about that? What you mentioned about new users, that is.

[lalliho]

that's creepy stop that

[doitrockapella]

That must've been difficult to cope with.

[Good, a success. She likes successes. Moreover, she likes chasing as many of them as possible, so she'll just have to see if she can't continue to keep Rosalind's spirits up.]

How did you manage?

[adoringpast]

actually you can turn it off

but that's it. you can't quit or delete the app or whatever. it's irritating i know, especially since you rarely see any good posts around here.

[tarotcards]

Cooing over his cats, you say? Personally, I have never caught him doing that (and if you know about it, please tell me that it's true), but I can let you know that he seems rather fond of the cats. After all, some of those cats are mine.

When I've asked him to catsit a few of them, he seemed far more than willing to take them off my hands. It wouldn't be so far-fetched to say that he's a cat lover like his nephews.

[seeker]

it's a bad day when the loss of an entire color is the benign option.
i'd rather have a concrete thought of what we might lose than go crazy thinking of all the more important things we could lose.

[browbeater]

wish i could.

i've stopped trying to delete it.

[doitrockapella]

I think so, too. You might even say you grayed my mind.

[originallutece]

Sleeping in my office, mostly. The upside is that alcohol goes a lot farther when you're six inches tall; a companion of mine and I got drunk off a few drops of wine and passed the time that way.

[thisloveisjustice]

Because it's easier to pick something that's related to what's already going on,
than take a guess at the countless aspects of our world that could be affected.

But if you want to take a stab in the dark, here's one. Taking into consideration Jim's advice last month to learn how to start a fire, perhaps the climate is going to undergo a sudden shift, and rather than summer we will suddenly be in the middle of winter, and will need to use fire to keep warm. Or perhaps the electric grid is going to go down, and we will need fire to cook.

[SIGH. souji, mako is willing to believe a lot of things. this is not it.]

annnnnd what is the government's ultimate goal here

[doitrockapella]

That must be difficult to juggle. What jobs are they? Are they all in your areas of interest?

[hollywooding]

why? how old do you think i am?
and it's nice to meet you too.

[ you could just make these easy and actually answer him, mary, or you could make life difficult ]

[originallutece]

Sorry, how many cats do you lot have in total?

[redarm]

oh hi.
i mean like
youre gonna get weird visions that are someones memories
also creepy stuff in the mail
or wake up with changes to your body.

shit like that.

just quietly sneaks in here

[livingdeadgirl]

that's Dave's fault
he came up with it
you can just call them "visions" if you want, that's what I do

[feistytrader]

They stop dancing when you blend them.

[There are many, many things he could have said to him, but this seems like the best start. Of note is that his name doesn't show up as Silver, but rather as Gintaro Suzukaze.]

[tarotcards]

That's perfect. I'd even say ingenious. They'll never see it coming as well.

I can begin collecting supplies for said colour bomb immediately so we can initiate plan Colour Run as soon as possible.

[ you're welcome 8) ]

[erythristic]

i'll keep my hair. retrospec saw fit to give me another present last month. or well, they chose to move their hand.

[youraffection]

idek
i mean its not like were paying them 4 this...the app is free and so is our misery
