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.

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...]

[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

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.

oh

that's stupid

and I hear the changes are stupid

Most of them are.
Some of them are just weird.
Or...not bad, but not good either?

Like, chocobos.
You know chocobos right? The mayor rides one and farmers pull them and stuff.
But what do you think of when I put the word

horse

here.

[Horse.......................

wh... wait, what the heck]

why would they take away horses

I mean I like chocobos fine but what did horses ever do

Noone knows why.
But they were the first thing to disappear.
It was how we all originally knew something was wrong.

I actually rather like chocobos.
But I still miss horses too.

chocobos aren't ugly like horses

but yes we shouldn't not have horses

they're living creatures but no one's fixed that? how are colors more important?

Have you touched one, they're really fluffy.

It's more like
No one really knows how the fixing thing works exactly?
So it's hard to...pick.

no

Wiseman and Halloway probably know

since they're doing it right?

Well I meant no one who would actually help us.
Rather than the people creating the problem.

If one of them want to suddenly be on our side I certainly wouldn't complain.

she says they're fixing the colors

Sure
Except they also broke the colors.
It's like a kidnapper saying 'Oh but here's some nice food' to try and somehow cancel out the kidnapping bit.

right

so what did horses do to them that they haven't done anything about it

Hah

Didn't think about it that way

Maybe they're allergic

hm maybe

I think more people would be allergic to chocobos because of the feathers

do you think they'll go away if they put horses back

I hope not.

I don't see why we can't just have both.

Although I guess it would be rather odd for the mayor to have a horse and a chocobo with the same name

to us anyway

he might not notice I'm guessing

Hm.
You know, I hadn't thought of that.
I mean, they always just seem to pretend the changes are real.
But this would be two changes at once that contradict each other.

maybe one's a junior and the other's a senior

I'm sure they'd come up with some way for it to make sense to them.
Even if it didn't actually make any sense at all.

If you want to see something really strange just try showing the app to someone who isn't on it.
It's like their interest gets turned off on a switch.
