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

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.

what do you think we can do?
if the restoration survey comes around, we could request jim, but i've never gotten one of those
have you?

Yeah, me neither. I'm not sure how they're deciding what comes back and when... It seems kind of random to me.

it looks like colors were the first to go and come back
horses have been nonexistent for months and still haven't returned...
it could be that whatever is happening, the power is getting weaker?
changes aren't staying for more than a month

Woah, that's true. Were there more people on the app back then, or less? Could it have something to do with that...?

there were a lot less back then, i think
maybe we *are* making a difference
with our collective powers, we will triumph over whatever retrospec throws against us!!!

That would be nice :-)
Our numbers must be doing something, right?

right!

...but we're losing people too, even if there's a net increase
i'm still unsure whether it's good or bad to stop being a retrospec user
if you could choose, would you rather remain, or no?

Yeah, it seems to happen really randomly, doesn't it?
I'd definitely want to stay. It might not have been my choice to get signed up, but now that it's put me on this path it's too late to turn back. I feel like I have to see it through, you know?

a man of responsibility!
i certainly admire that

but you're right
for me, i suppose it's more curiosity than duty, but the feeling is the same

Mostly I'm just stubborn. Once I decide on something, I don't like changing my mind about it. I wouldn't want to turn back now.

But I want to find out more about my memories and who I used to be, so I know what you mean. All this weird stuff is more than I ever thought I'd ever get involved with.

haha that's called being responsible

so you're in that camp? of "that person in my memories is who i used to be"?

Yeah, I think so. Even if it's a past life or another world, it feels too real to be someone besides me. Maybe we were all reborn into this city, or we're slowly remembering stuff we forgot, I don't believe these memories could be anyone's but mine.

But everyone has a different theory, I don't know who's right or wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Or maybe it's all of those theories. What do you think the memories and powers are supposed to be?

[ yakuza

"too real"

i've watched all your gifs/videos and that's a lie ]

i don't know what they are, but i wish they weren't real. if they're memories of another world, i wish it were the past and things wouldn't repeat themselves in this one. i wish they didn't have anything to do with me

[ it's real to them, ok, no one ever asks why you can dodge missiles and survive multiple stab wounds if you just drink the right kind of energy drink.... ]

Sounds like you've had it rough. I don't know if we're destined to repeat our mistakes in the past, but I hope not. We should be able to avoid some of the bad stuff if we know it's coming, right?

a lot of it seems situational and i would hope that is the case
sometimes things are unavoidable- not actions, but... state of being, i suppose
changing on the inside and outside

I know what you mean.

[ You definitely don't, Kaz. ]

Do you have anyone who you share memories with? I think if we embrace who we used to be and use those changes to get closer to people, maybe they're not as bad.

just one person: minako arisato
but i feel like our relationship in my memories is more complicated than what i have with her right now
and i don't want our relationship to be built off what feels like other peoples' lives

If your relationship before wasn't as good, I can understand not wanting to go back to that.
In my case, Majima didn't mention that he remembered me because he was worried about the circumstances being so different. But when we talked it out, it turned out we had been close before.
But I know there's a lot of different cases out there. Sometimes you might want to go against what you remember, I think that's okay, too.

it was good. better? i told her i loved her, and half my memories with her seem to be dates
i also asked her to kill me
so like that, it's sort of complicated

Oh.
Well, I guess if things aren't that good now, that can be awkward too?
Are you interested in her now?

[ Asking someone you love to kill you... that sounds kinda yakuza, actually. Kiryu should probably be more surprised, but then he remembers fighting his boyfriend and that's like. How they became close friends and so it's. Plausible. ]

Was it like, an honorable death kind of thing?

right now, we're best friends. i've known her for... maybe ten years now? i do love her, but she's not interested in me and i also have a girlfriend
so i'm okay with how we are now

it was a "i'm a monster who would destroy the world so please kill me" kind of thing

Oh, shit.

[ That's his immediate response, give him a moment. ]

It's good that you have your own happiness now. The monster thing... I can see why you wouldn't want to remember any more of that. I'm sorry. That's rough.

[ That's rough, buddy. ]

[ It's okay because Ryoji is the boyfriend who turns into the moon. ]

thanks
i've had a couple of months to accept things, and i'm doing better about it now
if more memories come, they'll come whether i like them to or not, so
i'm not going to live my life worrying about it

[ the moon that crashes into the earth. ]

That's a good attitude to live by.
Make the best of what you have and enjoy it.
Better that than letting fear stop you from doing anything.
