[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.

Since the beginning.
I've got this awful six month badge on my profile to prove it.

Which I can't remove.

[sotenbori]

About the game?

[parodeity]

i swear you could get paid to do that

[parodeity]

honestly that actually sounds really nice
as a custom
better than how we treat food here i guess

[originallutece]

About Janet and Jim.

[parodeity]

i dont think id be me without it

[notyourutopian]

I feel like the easiest way to prevent us from causing them trouble would've been to not let us know they exist at all.
Do the changes to world but not bother with the social app.

If they do view us as a pest, it doesn't make sense they'd unify us does it?

[parodeity]

no i got that but youre thinking up all these evil ideas for him to nab

[youraffection]

dude its barbie
u cant go back from that

[parodeity]

still not seeing the issue

[sotenbori]

oh uh


its not
like
that
what me and ardyn have isnt a theory
per se
(did you like that, professor-san, i didn't write per say which is a common misconception of the term.)

[livingdeadgirl]

I'm not mocking you I just think it's silly!
it's got like 10 syllables too many and autocorrect keeps turning it into "halitosis"

[vendettastool]

I guess it is? The higher up on the food chain, the fancier the food gets so I really missed the small gatherings in karaoke bars.

[originallutece]

Is it a sex theory.

[parodeity]

obviously you gotta add it to your dictionary aradia come on

[parodeity]

*ami

[lingeringwill]

there's no real way to not participate, because its so easy for them to put us in situations where we have no choice

and it just gets worse from there

because if retrospec's experiments are having an adverse effect of life as we know it, well...

it doesn't end well.



god, i just want to make drinks and tell girls how pretty they are.

sooner than later, we're going to need to figure out some sort of exit strategy, per se

[feistytrader]

I don't think there's an official decision on what exactly is going on with those, but.
The short of it is that you're connected to another life.
It could be some alternate you, or "the real you," or your past life.
I prefer past life, myself.
Makes me sound like I'm the reincarnation of a shrine maiden.
Less existential crises involved, too.
You're gonna remember things from this alternate version of you.
Alternate you is probably cooler than you.
There's a pretty significant chance that you'll remember having superpowers, too.
That's the end of the positives.

[he's giving the phone a look. just one, good, solid look.]

ok, sure, if it had stopped at the horses, i'd buy that.

but when you get rid of the concept of 'blue' as a color, it becomes a little harder to suspend my disbelief that they couldn't immediately change how the mountains of evidence appear to every conspiracy theorist.

after all, how many songs based on the color blue just suddenly stopped making sense? the concept of feeling blue? that's changing some deep cultural ingraining. i can't imagine it wouldn't work the same for conspiracy theorists. the reason it hasn't is because whoever is in charge of this doesn't care, which means it's not the government. half the reason they'd want something like this is to get unquestioning trust/ignorance when weird stuff goes down.

hell if i was the head of the cia, getting rid of the jfk and deep state conspiracies would be at the top of my list.

[storytelleroftime]

Oh. Great. Just great. As if I needed more stress in my life right now. Well, I can handle it. By which I mean I probably can't, but I will anyways. Not like I can do anything about this.

[redarm]

i think so?
i havent checked lately.
family would kill me if i got arrested for breaking and entering.

maybe its a dummy office when the real one is somewhere else
not sure why theyd do that but
why the fuck would anyone take the colours blue and green away either.

[digthefuzz]

is there anything out there that pays for that??

[sotenbori]

Rosalind Lutece do you speak to your mother like that
This is Janet we're talking about

[youraffection]

barbie is 4 like 6 yearold girls dude

[ Color marketing has worked on him. ]

[stopbleeding]

so's everyone else. pretty much anything we say here is fair game. even "fireworks" might be enough for him to get an idea.

or her. janet's probably worse.
