[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.

wow no passive aggressive wikihow link
i like this chick already
way better than that dork jim

sidenote has r&d considered just doing
not that

[originallutece]

I rather liked the bit about their possibly not communicating with us for the next few months. Seems rather restful.

[overtwohundred]

no kidding
too bad we can't break in and just wreck their shit
that'd make me feel way better

[originallutece]

I don't normally condone violence, but frankly, at this point I'd be happy to join you.

Really, even if it didn't do any good, I'd be fascinated to know see how they'd respond. If they take away colors and experiment on us when we're being obedient, just what would they do to us if we intentionally displease them?

[overtwohundred]

shit yeah
you and me, we could make a hell of a team

fuck if i know
but i'm curious
you're the brainier of us, d'you think people would be up for a riot

[originallutece]

I'm not going to advise you to incite a riot, Nisha.

[But she's kind of smiling, so . . .]

But in the purely hypothetical: I think it would take Retrospec taking away something very big and vital in order to inspire people to riot en masse.

[overtwohundred]

you're killing me here, ros
you can't deny a riot would be awesome

if they start with colors who knows what else they'll take away
they might go mad with power the more they steal
i mean they might even start depriving us of all the hot people here
and what would we do without you honestly

1/2

[originallutece]

[It honestly takes her a moment, but oh, she's--]

2/3

[originallutece]

[Oh, good grief.]

[originallutece]

I hardly think that a possibility.

[HOW DO YOU EVEN RESPOND TO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? You don't, okay, you just move right past it.]

No, more likely would be that they keep taking relatively small things, colors and so on-- things that would cause a riot if they were taken all at once, but when they happen one at a time, are simply accepted.

So. If you want to incite something, get people angry. And yes, I suppose such a reaction would be somewhat impressive.

[overtwohundred]

we'll never know until it happens
then we'll have to mourn. it'd be terrible, ros.

so we just don't let ourselves get complacent. easier for some, harder for others.
others'd just have to stop twiddling their thumbs, in that case.
maybe someone should be keeping a tally of how they decide to fuck with us next.
not much else we can do til it happens.
(uuuugh.)

[originallutece]

You could always try and vent your frustrations elsewhere, I suppose, until such a time comes when we can retaliate. Isn't there a shooting range around here?

[overtwohundred]

oh yeah
been there pretty often lately, actually
it's a hell of a way to blow off some steam.

you ever gone shooting?

[destiny_key]

to be fair i think anyone would be better than jim

[overtwohundred]

got a point there kid
god i wish i knew where he was so i could arrest him for being a jackass

[destiny_key]

i dont think you can do that can you???
idk im not a cop lol

but also if thats legal then please do that

[overtwohundred]

nah it's not legal
unfortunately
but it'd be pretty sweet if it were
i'd bust down jim's door looking all badass
maybe hit him with a taser or some shit then drag him to the slammer
awesome.

[destiny_key]

like an action movie hero!!!
you could be the cool superhero!!!

and jim probably has one of those twirly cartoon mustaches lol
it would be really cool

[overtwohundred]

hell yeah i'd be an awesome badass hero
if jim has one of those mustaches i could shave it off
bam, day saved

you've got good ideas, kiddo

[destiny_key]

i mean i like to think so!!!
i could totally direct a cool movie like that lol

but also other people might tell you otherwise lol

[overtwohundred]

ha! you'd have to let me know.
we could make something seriously cool, you and me.

don't let em tell you that.
follow your dreams, shoot for the stars, blah blah blah.

[destiny_key]

well actually i dont know anything about cameras lol
or movies

nah but actually theyre probably right most of the time

[judgementkazzy]

I dunno, Jim's posts felt a little more personal.
But I wonder if this means Jim got fired.

[overtwohundred]

yeah you're right
jim's posts were WAY creepier

i hope he got fired, he was an asshole

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, it always made me feel like I wanted to punch him...
Janet's comes off like a press release than anything.

He wasn't very good at his job, that's for sure. Unless it included coming up with this app, I guess.
