[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.

how do I delete this app
having it be the one of the only blue things left is weird and I don't like looking at it
and I don't care about whoever Wiseman or Halloway is




you all talk too much

[parodeity]

ah a question we all ask ourselves daily
but yeah theres like no way to do that weve spent apparently about half a year trying

if you want something else blue yatos eyes are still blue
we had an eyegazing party last month you just missed it

[lalliho]

that sounds like a nightmare what's wrong with all of you

[parodeity]

past life memories mostly

[frisyr]

You can't we've all tried

[lalliho]

it's an app not a virus

this is stupid

[frisyr]

No it's a virus they just call it an app

[adoringpast]

of course everyone talks too much, this IS a social networking app

and too bad, because we're all stuck here and if it were possible to delete it from our phones we would've done it by now

[lalliho]

I didn't sign up for some dumb social media thing and if you all didn't either why are you still using it so much?

[adoringpast]

trust me, ive tried not using it
but things keep on happening to its userbase anyway whether you use it or not
guess you're just one of those new unlucky saps chosen to "test" this out
i feel sorry for you

[skald]

[This entire message is in Finnish.]

Lalli! You're on here too!

You can't delete the app, I'm sorry. I tried that too and there's no way to do it. I've had it for about two months now but (as you can see in Janet's post) some people have been on for way longer than that. But we recently got blue flowers and blueberries back! And I have a friend who still has blue eyes. He hosted a party so people could come and look at them.

Jim Halloway is the guy who normally writes to us. He's a jerk and obsessed with Janet (Wiseman, apparently). Janet is a lot nicer.

If you have any other questions let me know! 👍

[So speaking of talking too much.]

[lalliho]

[Finnish? Kinda cool... Except this is a lot of Finnish and oh, look, a familiar name. Well, guess he'll respond in Finnish, too.]

I'm almost surprised you didn't try to make me use it two months ago. You're obviously excited about it.

[But still just "almost". Nice talkin' to you, cousin.]

[skald]

[Finnish party!]

Oh, you wouldn't have been able to. No one else can see the app. (I know that doesn't make any sense. Even if you have it open on your phone and hand your phone to someone else, they don't acknowledge it at all.) Anyway, there's some cool things that go along with this app, but it can be a little annoying sometimes too.

Speaking of, does my Finnish look weird to you? Like any less than fluent? [It shouldn't, but she'd heard a horror story of a girl who gained fluency in one language but dropped down to intermediate level in her native language, and ever since she realized that she understands Icelandic she's been trying to find a way to make sure this hasn't happened to her without raising uncomfortable questions if it had.]

[appraiser]

hello!
there's a lot of us here, so perhaps we're all talking the normal amount, but it seems like too much?

[lalliho]

no it's definitely that all of you are talking too much

[appraiser]

haha
ideally, what would be each person's word budget for the day?

[notyourutopian]

You can't delete it.
Well you can but it comes back.
If you throw out your phone it shows up on a new one.
And if you try just using your computer it shows up on that.

It's like spyware for every aspect of our lives.

[Why does his name look familiar. Hmm...]

[lalliho]

[Having that same nagging thought over here... His memory for names and faces has never been the greatest. His mind preferred the weird stuff.]

I wonder what happens if you stop using all electronics but not enough to try it

[notyourutopian]

Some people actually tried that.
I want to say a month ago?
It didn't really change anything, they were still part of the system of changes and such.
Mostly it just meant they were harder to get in touch with and didn't know what was going on.

[browbeater]

you can't

and it will follow you everywhere

[lalliho]

that's creepy stop that

[browbeater]

wish i could.

i've stopped trying to delete it.

super late, but this helps me set up for bingo stuff

[twelfthspark]

Well, there's a name I haven't seen in ages~

[lalliho]

it is

and there's one I thought I wouldn't see again

[Hoped, really...]

[twelfthspark]

Ouch. 💔 What did I ever do to deserve this?
