[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.

this is the most comforting message i've ever received from a stalker app that appeared on my phone at midnight.
thanks for that.

also your idea of a game is going to be terrible, i can already tell
whatever it is you can stuff it right up your ass, janet

[adoringpast]

you do know that janet's even more of a victim, right

not to defend her shit or anything but you really should've seen that jim guy going on and on about her

also welcome to the shitshow club, saotome

[hollywooding]

victim or not, i'm not inclined to trust random, ominous, vaguely threatening social network posts from anyone.
"a bigger loss in the future"? ok

it feels more like i was forced in, but thanks.
figures you'd beat me here, mr. popular.

[adoringpast]

it really did feel like we're all being held at gunpoint here, but it's not like all of us had a choice in the matter

but yeah, ive been "using" this for 2 months now, can you believe it
it's SO ANNOYING but you already got the gist
and it's going to get worse from here on out for you

[hollywooding]

what did i just say about random, ominous, vaguely threatening social network posts? ;)

[parodeity]

just count your blessings she isnt into fruit videos
maybe

[hollywooding]

could you have made that sound slightly less like pornography

[parodeity]

i absolutely could have
but really porn might have been better
like
not ACTUALLY
but the video was pretty spectacularly bad
and just informing us fruit doesnt usually have faces

[hollywooding]

Wow. i'm stunned at how helpful he must be.
this guy sounds like a tool.

then again, if the girl who posted this is an improvement, a tool might be too nice.

[lingeringwill]

their idea of a game is manipulating the fabric of reality

so yeah it blows pretty hard, imo

[hollywooding]

yeah, i've noticed.
i don't take kindly to anyone messing around with my life.
let alone an omnipotent app of some kind.

[lingeringwill]

i don't take kindly to anyone messing with the universe

i'm not sure if having the app or not having it is more of a curse

[hollywooding]

from what i've learned already, it may be troublesome, but i'd rather have it.
i'm pissed that they screwed with my head.
i want to be aware of it so it doesn't happen again.

[flexer]

The guy before her, Jim, usually provided step-by-step pictures.
You would have loved him.

And by that I mean you probably/most definitely would have had a worse time.
So there's that???

Also for future reference they apparently never respond to anything we have to say so.
I mean if it helps then do you.

[hollywooding]

well, aren't you helpful, mr. optimist.

i think this was going to be a bad time no matter who picked up the creepy social network phone.

[flexer]

I try.

Ask someone who's been here who they prefer: Janet or Jim.
If anyone says Jim I'll give you $5.

[hollywooding]

sounds like he must be a real piece of work.
i hate him already. [ men are dumb ]
though, if this is the welcome wagon, i want off this ride.

[crushcard]

believe me, the previous month's messages were more condescending and rude,
so this is frankly civil by retrospec standards.

their idea of a game is probably one where the boss fights AIs are cheating bastards, which is the kind of game that is the absolute worst to defeat.

[ please don't let the game nerd talk about games. ]

[hollywooding]

my personal belief is that if someone's cheating, you just have to out-cheat them. ♥

[ also a game nerd, just a different kind of game............ ]

[crushcard]

... ha.

I'm going to have to agree with you on that. If they break the rules, no holds barred beatdown, right?

[ ........ oh no who let them get along this is going to be terrible ]

[hollywooding]

exactly.
the rules weren't fair in the first place, so i see no reason to be following them.

[refate]

considering how often i've been enlisted in jailbreaking phones for frat boys, i can pretty much say this is way beyond that.

also, not me. just to clarify.

[hollywooding]

that sounds like something someone that's guilty would say

[refate]

thanks for the faith, princess.
i'm just as annoyed with this, to be honest, and it's not even just our phones.
check your laptop. i recommend you cover the camera with some tape.

[hollywooding]

you're really not helping yourself here. you wanna pull your foot out of your mouth anytime soon?

ugh. great. i paid for this, of course now it's got some kind of social media fungus on it.
will do.
