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 understand.

[ What do you mean, don't people carry pictures of their cats the way parents do with their children??? ]

Unfortunately, no. I don't have that much of a backyard either, so I wouldn't want to get a dog either.

[A kindred spirit!!]

Oh, it didn't even cross my mind about how weird it must be for people who naturally have eye colors like that! I'll do my part in returning color to the world as well... however that may be.
You don't think brown has any chance of being removed, do you?

I would tell you you get used to it, but that would be a lie.
It has made meal planning much more difficult.
But as horrifying as it is to say, the fruits are among the least horrible things Retrospec has done.

I've seen people here talking about people not remembering that horses exist.

How can someone not remember something like that because of an app? A social networking app at that?
erythristic: (time.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-07-02 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
i'd accuse you of lying if i hadn't already seen days where the scarf has detached from your neck. it would be quite the shame if you were to become nothing but a large puddle on the street. how on earth would you teach like that?

Damn. No twin. It's the solo big sibling life for me.
I'll do what I can to make it on my own.
erythristic: (idea.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-07-02 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
the "how" is something we don't know yet. but i advise to trust yourself on the matter - you remember horses, don't you?
uncagedbird: (all that you're feeling)

[personal profile] uncagedbird 2017-07-02 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
It's not cheesy if it's true. You're my friend, Maggie.
Nothing can change that.

I found it on my phone this morning.
cattack: (> Wild CATGIRL is interested...)

[personal profile] cattack 2017-07-02 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Then do you not remember the past few months, when you had no idea what a horse was?
vendettastool: (not doing that)

[personal profile] vendettastool 2017-07-02 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
If I did that, I wouldn't have any room left on my phone for stuff that has to do with work.

[ Nah, he just only carries a couple dozen pictures on him. The rest is in a big album at home. Yes, he is a sap and no, his PA does not need to know this. ]

It really sucks to rent. Even buying can be a pain in some areas. Do you at least visit places where you can hang out with animals? Shelters or something?
bloodbiter: (suck on that stigma botanists)

[personal profile] bloodbiter 2017-07-02 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
I assume they haven't given any other hints about what that bigger loss might be, or what the game we're meant to play is, but do you imagine it'll be more or less harmless?
maskreant: (pic#11493055)

[personal profile] maskreant 2017-07-02 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
you will do.

[ Just. Kidding. ]

as you can see this isn't the last social media app we'll ever need.

Of course I do. I took some horse riding lessons as a child.

I didn't change myself, exactly. I picked what I'd wear and dressed up a little.
oh, and I left all my piercings at home.
...
okay so I changed myself a little.
the piercings are important to me, but they're also just jewelry.
it's not like the school was asking to see my tattoo or something.
erythristic: (done.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-07-02 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
and did anything else in your life change besides the appearance of this app when you realized certain colors are gone from the world?
openhanded: (animated) (☆in innocence)

[personal profile] openhanded 2017-07-02 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
well I did a year as a student teacher. maybe that's worth something?

wait.
is flirting some kind of secret bartending thing?
Luke never mentioned anything about this

Ooooh, does that mean you're rich and famous and important, that you have a PA? (◕▽◕✿)

also I think you got the best end of the deal with the kitty! what's her name?

[ OH... when he said serious inquiries, he didn't mean it. To play along or not— ]

seeing ghosts is the main thing.
but I've seen other powers in my visions, and... I wouldn't be surprised if I got those too eventually.

[personal profile] splinten 2017-07-02 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
I don't want to imagine what could do the acid trip.
It's much less than a mountain. I got these shades to go over my orange eyes, basically.
covenantal: (oo5.)

[personal profile] covenantal 2017-07-02 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever it is will probably involve QR codes. And, for whatever reason, the knowledge of how to build a fire. Jim gave us those hints in his last post. I'm a little concerned that there's a "game" of some kind coming, but... most things hosted by Retrospec so far haven't been dangerous. Not in a physical way.

Whether or not they're "harmless" would probably depend on who you ask.
