[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.

then i can text you whenever, if you're not busy!
since retrospec shows your name, your picture, your contact information

[lalliho]

yes I noticed ryoji mochizuki

[At least this probably wasn't some hyper-American jerk that made a hobby out of messing with foreigners, with a name like that.]

I still don't know why you want to so bad

[appraiser]

[ he might not be hyper-american but ryoji likes messing with befriending foreigners... ]

hmm because i like talking to people, and learning about them, and becoming friends with them

[lalliho]

[Point is, no bullying over his accent.]

there are plenty of others in this city

weird to focus so much on the guy that doesn't seem to want friends

[appraiser]

yes, and i want to be their friends too
you don't 'seem to' but do you want to?

[lalliho]

this is not a conversation I'm having with a stranger

[appraiser]

we're not strangers! we know each other's names!

[lalliho]

I hope that doesn't work on the kids that know to say someone taught them not to talk to strangers

[appraiser]

:(
i'm not going to murder you in cold blood, i just want to be friends

[lalliho]

okay fine

but you need to not

be so much?

[appraiser]

be so much what?

[lalliho]

you

a little less you won't be so scary

[appraiser]

if i were less me, i wouldn't be me...
what part of me is scary?

[lalliho]

um

pushy?

don't come at people you just met talking about being friends with everyone

especially someone saying he wants people to say six words or less a day

[appraiser]

oh
i never thought of it as pushy
friendship is a wonderful thing, so it feels only natural to want to extend it to all i can
we could be friends and exchange less than a dozen words between us each day, though

[lalliho]

that's still pushy

friends aren't a decision it just happens

[not that he'd actually know lol]

stop trying to be friends when you know nothing about me

[appraiser]

hasn't it happened already, though? aren't we friends?

[lalliho]

no?

[appraiser]

:(
how am i supposed to become friends with you?

[lalliho]

[He starts writing a few different lines, but each time it doesn't quite sound right... It isn't like this guy's treating him like a game to play, or an animal to train, and he obviously doesn't have a ten step process of How To Make Friends.]

what's your favorite color

[appraiser]

yellow
what's yours?

[lalliho]

I don't know

I like black and white

blue maybe

[appraiser]

those are fine colors too. they're calm
are you bothered by things not being blue?

[lalliho]

I guess

it's a color so it should be there

but it doesn't really change a lot

[appraiser]

it changes a lot, though! the sky should be blue- it's something you see every day, and now it's not
