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.

[adoringpast]

[impulsives]

[adoringpast]

SO

ANNOYING

[impulsives]

...a bit more seriously, though. thanks. this kind of cheered me up a bit after the massive depression fest that was a hallucinomemory lol.

private;

[adoringpast]

[ Sena blinks. Huh. Didn't expect to be thanked for all his weird bitching. ]

No problem, I guess. You got a shitty memory too?

private;

[impulsives]

[ teasing sena is really fun okay. ]

yea.

so recently i picked up a pink cellphone that felt really familiar.

but it's owned by someone who shared the same name and voice as my sister, so it was pretty creepy, y'know?

then it turned out, it belonged to my past(future, whatever idek) self's sister.

so the memory, pop quiz time!

how could a guy inherit his sister's phone aside from her lending it to him?

[adoringpast]

[ Give him a moment. Why are you giving him a goddamn pop quiz during summer?

...Until it hits him, and Sena widens his eyes at the phone he's holding. ]

what the fuck

[ HOW ELOQUENT ]

[impulsives]

if the answer is 'she died while my past self was retrieving her phone', then you're correct.

...apparently i was living in a time of war, and a stray laser beam from one of the giant robots hit a place my past self wasn't conveniently in, and the force of the explosion blew him away.

by the time my past self came to...

well.

it wasn't pretty.

and that's why i haven't been able to sleep today.

it's one thing to watch a series about war to enjoy the drama, and another thing entirely to experience it personally, y'know?

[adoringpast]

[ It's no that Sena is sympathetic, but... damn. Now he totally regrets that one time he and Takumi were talking smack about him when Takumi had told him about his own war flashbacks just a couple of weeks ago.

Huh. Those two seem pretty alike, after all. What's with them telling a sourpuss like Sena their tragic backstories anyway? ]

But are you sure that's your sister?

I'm not that familiar with your family life here but you have to make sure about that first.

[impulsives]

[ it's more like shin believes sena is a neutral third party, to balance his really close friend in souji in order to get a more objective opinion in these matters.

basically someone to discuss these memories with who don't have a personal stake in shin's well-being just yet. ]

it felt like it. there was a deep sorrow within his being when he saw the scene. and... well, it definitely gave me some insight on why my past self would be related to the military.

......she looked and sounded like my sister would if she's straight and proper rather than being a messy art student, let's put it that way. And I remembered that my past self and her were younger then, too.

of course... my family here is still fine, but... it's just... weird and scary, i guess.

[adoringpast]

[ The fact that he's referring to his memory self in third person is raising flags in Sena's head. Ouch, dude.

He actually doesn't know what to say to this. Unlike Takumi, who's one of the closest people he can call his friend right now, Shin's story is pretty out there. Having a nice happy dude get memories like this is so cruel. ]

Can't blame you for thinking that, and for distancing yourself from what you remembered from back then.

And I can't say I can relate either since most of my memories are pretty mundane

[ aside from lowkey stalking this one kid and getting photos of him later on ]

But
That really sucks, Asuka

Wait, military? You were a child soldier?

[impulsives]

that's alright, helps keep me level if i have someone that can objectively look at it aside from myself.

i mean, i'm not sure, that guy was me, but he... feels more strongly, if you know what i mean? he had his emotion on full-blast and it felt scary to feel such raw anger in person.

...and yeah. remember how we met from that model building post? the memory there as i was staring at the giant robots?

what other kind of person would have access to a hangar if not a soldier, then?

[adoringpast]

Raw anger, huh. That must've been really wild, considering you're kind of passionate in a different way.

[ that's the closest thing to a compliment, so suck it up ]

A soldier that keeps huge kandams... You mean those anime are real? Why do they keep those things around anyway?!
