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

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.

Oh yeah it's 100% a threat.
The soft wording just makes it worse somehow I think.

I agree. I'm not sure if they honestly believed they could fool us that way... but if they did, they certainly don't think much of us all.

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-07-02 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure they're trying to fool us.
It's more like

Like they don't really care what we think about it?
Which makes sense, in an unpleasant way.

The researcher doesn't care what the rat thinks of his maze.
He just wants to see it run through it.

And we're their guinea pigs, selected to test out... whatever this network is meant for. This upcoming "game," perhaps.

It's certainly not a comfortable position to be in.

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-07-02 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever the game is, I am not looking forward to it.

But no, it's really not.
I keep wanting to think I've adjusted to it, but I'm always wrong.
saburai: (ashamed ♙ courtesy and honor)

[personal profile] saburai 2017-07-02 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
You've been a part of this for a while, I take it?
notyourutopian: Do not take! (Distant and considering.)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-07-02 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Since the beginning.
I've got this awful six month badge on my profile to prove it.

Which I can't remove.
saburai: of culture (upset ♙ to contribute to the development)

[personal profile] saburai 2017-07-02 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
...Sounds like that's their running theme.
notyourutopian: Do not take! (Distant and considering.)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-07-03 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah.
They are all about doing things to you that you have no control over.
Some of it is horribly creepy.
They were somehow taking pictures of us from behind when we were alone last month.
saburai: (hesitant ♙ and to forever pursue)

[personal profile] saburai 2017-07-03 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
They managed to do something that horrifying without being noticed? Installing an app on our phones is one thing, but stalking...
notyourutopian: Do not take! (*sigh*)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-07-03 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.
No one has figured out how.
I slept with my phone and laptop in my closet while that was going on and it still didn't help.
saburai: (wince ♙ to cultivate a vigorous spirit)

[personal profile] saburai 2017-07-03 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry you all went through that. What an awful way to toy with people.
notyourutopian: Do not take! (Distant and considering.)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-07-03 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.
It's going to happen to you too, you know
I mean, not specifically that.
But something.

There's always something.
saburai: (unsure ♙ to strive for improvement)

[personal profile] saburai 2017-07-04 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
I can't say I'm looking forward to it. But thanks for the warning.

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-07-04 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Eleanor, by the way.
I know it says my name but I have no choice in the matter so I don't care.
Still introducing myself.
saburai: (saddened ♙ the cultivation of oneself)

[personal profile] saburai 2017-07-04 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Then it is nice to meet you, Eleanor.

My name is Kaguya.
notyourutopian: Do not take! (Distant and considering.)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-07-04 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
Welcome to the ride, Kaguya.
It's not all bad at least.
Some people get superpowers.
saburai: (factual ♙ to hold in esteem human)

[personal profile] saburai 2017-07-04 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
So I've heard. I suppose it's not any more unbelievable than the rest of this.
notyourutopian: Do not take! (Distant and considering.)

[personal profile] notyourutopian 2017-07-05 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
It's really not.
Anyway just hit me up if you need anything, alright?
saburai: (ashamed ♙ courtesy and honor)

[personal profile] saburai 2017-07-06 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. I will keep your kind offer in mind for the future.
