[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.

Haha do they?
Hmm jacob sounds old to me. But maybe thats because of the biblical association...
I admit jake sounds immature.
Elizabeth is a fine name though! Rather regal dont you think?

[elevelvetor]

very. there are a number of queens in recorded history with it, after all!
though i feel as if it's a fairly ordinary name at the same time...
but that may just be because it's mine.
do you like your name?

[potentite]

Put like that its quite spiffy! A name with proper dualism.
Oh but yes i suppose. I was mostly pulling your leg before but i do like it?
It suits me i think even if i cant explain what that means.
I just like to think names have their own personality. Something unique to that name.
That must sound silly huh?

[elevelvetor]

no, i actually think it sounds quite inspiring.
in many worlds (fictitious, of course), names have power.
to know the true name of another means to have control over them in some fashion.
we're only lucky such a thing does not exist here! Retrospec would be our worst enemy.
well, moreso than most people consider it/them to be, anyway.

[potentite]

Oh! Ive always loved that trope.
Its such a neat idea... And often leads to rather intimate or dramatic moments revealing a true name.
But yes i hope no one is too put out by this application blaring their names.
I personally dont care myself. I do wish it was a bit easier to personalize?
Im using it so much these days but its not the most attractive interface.

[elevelvetor]

do you suppose this is a suggestion they'll listen to, or will they ignore it?
i hear their customer service is lacking when it comes to the big issues, but personalization is a rather small, trivial one.

[potentite]

It would be nice if they would but they havent seemed open to suggestions of any kind.
Which is a shame since really i dont mind using this! It connects all of us experiencing this phenomenon after all.
Though i do have a little badge in my profile which is neat. Being part of this for a half a year is a dubious honour...
Oh but im blabbering on arent i. Im sorry youre new to this whole fiasco right?

[elevelvetor]

that's difficult to say...
but for all intents and purposes, yes!
do you suppose you'll get another badge for a year? i doubt it'll have any special properties either, though.

[potentite]

That would be spiffy!
I happen to love collecting things even if theyre pointless. In fact especially then.
Its actually a great marketing idea to gives badges for achievements like that.
I suppose we cant get ones for recommending this application though since its closed to others.

[elevelvetor]

i wonder what sort of other badges we'll get!
it'd be lame if it were just time-sensitive ones...
perhaps completing the milestones they have set would give us another?

[potentite]

Oh oh!
We need ones for hidden achievements. Like idk taking someone flying with your new superpowers.
Or something weird like that.
It might make it more fun to try things at least.
