[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.

The only thing I can say they've done that may have indirectly caused harm is shrinking us down. If you remember being six inches tall back in May, anyway.

But that it's them is speculation.

[saburai]

Yes, that was a thing that happened. Somehow.

[ that is one weird thing to suddenly remember, yep. not going to think too hard on that one to try and preserve what's left of her sanity. ]

Still, I suppose you're right. It is a small comfort that they haven't tried anything worse yet. But it leaves me wondering what their aim is.

[mincingminuet]

You aren't alone in that. All of us feel like it's some sort of insane social experiment.

But that said, things are going to get weirder. You may see things that don't feel right. Visions, things that feel real but aren't. You aren't alone there either. Speak up, the people on the network will understand. We are kind of a support network for one another.

[saburai]

That makes a fair amount of sense. If everyone else was acting like this was all normal, I'd think I'd gone mad. As it is, it's hard to imagine how things could get weirder.

[mincingminuet]

Visions of another life you don't remember.
Some people develop super powers too.

[saburai]

...I can't tell if you're joking or not.

[mincingminuet]

I'm not joking. Not even a little bit.

[saburai]

...I see.

I was joking with another user earlier about how we could be facing a color-stealing anime villain. Perhaps that wasn't quite as far-fetched as I had thought.

[mincingminuet]

Nope, not even a little bit.

I know I'm being vague, but yeah, superpowers. Even I have one.

[saburai]

I can't imagine myself with any sort of strange power. But then again, I imagine most people felt the same before.

[mincingminuet]

Exactly. I know I didn't expect it.

[saburai]

What sort of power did you receive, if you don't mind me asking?

[mincingminuet]

Magic. I learned how to cast a spell. It makes people hover a ways off the ground. And slows their falls too.

[saburai]

That sounds like it could be quite useful.

[mincingminuet]

More than a bit.

Next time I see you, I can give you a demo. I know it's outlandish sounding.

[saburai]

I would appreciate that.

It's not that I don't believe you, of course. More that it's simply a lot to take in all at once.

and I think I can use this as a bingo slot too :3

[mincingminuet]

It is. I know it is.

Why don't we get lunch or something later this week? Sometime after the 4th.

go for it!

[saburai]

That sounds lovely. How about this Friday?

[mincingminuet]

Perfect. Let's meet at the campus coffee shop and we can figure out where to go from there.
