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

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

OPTION A
[ Pitou's profile picture has long since been locked as a picture of five black foster kittens being observed by an older cat and a dog... There are comments beneath the image complaining,

Nestlé, Ferrero, Hershey, Dove, and Pocky were cute, but they've been homed. What if I wanted to show off my other fosters?!?!?! Annoying.

OPTION B
Six months and this app is still a shit show?

the app itself seems to have stabilized in the past six months
but it's still pretty
bad

I stopped paying attention to it for a while, like... I have a life.

i wish i could do the same, but it's hard to forget about
it's always there on my phone, and on my laptop...
maybe i need a technology break? how do you do it?

I'm really busy? I have a full time job, I volunteer all my free time at an animal shelter, and the rest of the time I'm sewing and painting doll faces. It's easy.

oh! that'll definitely do it
i only work part time, and i haven't started school yet, so there's a lot of free time
painting doll faces is such a unique hobby- i don't think i've heard of anybody doing so
how did you get into that?

School is boring bullshit. I got out as soon as I could. You should too.
I don't know, I was never satisfied with the way toys looked or what they did, I always changed them around. Which the other kids did not like :) Fuck if I cared.

haha i haven't even started college yet, so now would be the time to get out, i suppose
aw, if somebody were to give my toys personalized touches, i would be touched. what's not to like?

[ ......shit, those black cats are cute..... ]

you don't have to make them your profile picture you can show them off on the app itself!!!!!
......
i mean
if you wanted to i guess im not the fucking police

I'm just saying what kind of crappy app doesn't let you change to a new profile picture. How was I supposed to know I'd get stuck with this one?

as far as profile pictures go it's not a bad one to be stuck with
if you're gonna be stuck with it you might as well rock it you know

They were such good kittens 😽 And they all got homed.

[ Pitou Blythe: tiny jerkass who loves kittens. ]

do you work at the shelter?? i'm a little jealous
they look pretty cute
i keep trying to convince my parents to adopt one but i live in a family of dog people

overflow

You ask that as though they're the kind of people who could be bothered to think about what we want at all.

And aren't those all the names of chocolate brands? Interesting.

What's the point of a social network if you don't cater to the people making the network.

And yeah, I volunteer and foster a lot of cats, you start to run out of names eventually. And they were cute enough to eat >:3

Until you wind up with a mouthful of fur.

And that may be true... but with an app that behaves more like malware than a social network, can we really be so sure that we're on the same page as Retrospec...?

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Data is always less secure than people think it is. I don't know why everyone's in a tizzy about this one particular app like their nude snapchats aren't on a server somewhere waiting to be hacked.

Well, if they're anything like me, then they're not particularly thrilled to see that they suddenly have a social media account when they're not exactly interested in being social... though I don't doubt that most of them are more like what you just described, either.

And you're being pretty ominous, aren't you? Don't tell me you were actually being serious when you were talking about eating them.

Of course I'm not serious, I'm just prone to cute aggression.

Don't be so surly about socializing Bakhura. What would your mother say.

If you say so, Pitou. I'll take your word for it...

And she wouldn't say anything, actually... kind of hard to when you're dead.

and still causing unforeseen problems and changes in our lives and to ourselves.

[hi Pitou. guess who's also still here.]

Don't be dramatic, Grell.

firstly, if anything, i'm not dramatic enough.
secondly, having my hair and eye color altered isn't me being dramatic, it's fact.

escape the captcha, I don't like doing math
