[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.

If you're so confident in that authority, then share it with me. Prove it — I'm not afraid of being proven wrong.

[daemonized]

Well, if you ever find yourself sporting a small injury [or...a large one, but don't tell anyone that] come see me. I'll show you the magic I can provide.

[doitrockapella]

...How fresh of an injury?

[What a curious question, Carmen. Not "how big" or "what kind", but "how fresh" — very curious indeed.]

[daemonized]

[Definitely a question that he did not expect. It's rather... specific, but he'll answer honestly.]

To be completely honest, I'm not sure. I've only used it a couple of times, and...

Well, they were fresh wounds, or current ailments, at the time. I imagine if it hasn't healed over yet, it's fair game.

[But that's what experimenting was for. He hopes no one is going to run in and yell at him for even entertaining this.]

[doitrockapella]

What about damage that isn't a wound specifically? Could you cure the common cold, for example?

[daemonized]

Yes.

[Easy enough to answer, because he's tried it before. It had been working, and likely would have worked completely if he saw it through to the end.]

[doitrockapella]

...I'd still like a demonstration. When you're free, and it's convenient, of course.

[daemonized]

Very well. I'll show you, whenever the opportunity arises. That's the tricky part, you know. Finding an opportunity.

[Because Ardyn certainly won't ask anyone to hurt themselves for the sake of an experiment or a demonstration.]

[doitrockapella]

I shuffle a lot of memoranda on a daily basis. I'm sure I'll find myself with a paper cut eventually.

[daemonized]

Easy enough.

[And not terribly painful, either.]

Let me know when you've a terrible, stinging paper cut. When your life flashes before your eyes, think of me.

[doitrockapella]

When my life flashes before my eyes? That's valuable cinema space — and reserved for people who, at minimum, buy me dinner.

[daemonized]

Unfortunately not an offer I can make, unless I want my own life to flash before my eyes in the near future.

But, very well. Something slightly more mundane. If you've a small injury, let me know.

[doitrockapella]

And far be it from me to hasten your untimely demise.

But yes, agreed. When next I find myself in very minor peril, you'll be first on my list to call.

[daemonized]

That's generous of you. Of course, there's nothing to say that we can't share a friendly cup of coffee together someday; perhaps somewhere near campus, where I work.

[doitrockapella]

Well, given how often I have nothing but a friendly cup of coffee for dinner, it sounds as though we might just be able to manage the best of both worlds.

So yes, I'd like that. Feel free to call, anytime.

[daemonized]

One of those, are you? Well, I'll not judge.

You'll be hearing from me soon.
