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.

What would you say is your favorite thing to photograph?

[mercurio]

definitely people

[roseblooms]

Ah. Candid shots, or posed?

[mercurio]

both! but i prefer the spontaneous variety

[roseblooms]

I was going to say, enjoying spontaneity probably serves you well when it comes to photographing animals, too.

(The closest I've ever come to being a photographer is being good at Poggleman Snap and Lethal Lens, but I expect the experience is different in real life than in video games.)

I'm Fawkes, by the way. Which I realize my username says already, but still.

[mercurio]

you're professor rosalind's vidya teacher aren't you?
prompto! it's nice to meet you
do you like the idea of photographing animals?? i could help you out
with the rl equivalent lol

[roseblooms]

Oh, is that how my reputation precedes me these days? That's me, the vidya teacher.

(She mains Kitana in Mortal Bloodbath. It's a long and patient process.)

The pleasure is mine, Prompto. I didn't realize you were a teacher, yourself. :)

[mercurio]

this is all super juicy deets dude
i wonder what it's like to see her play...
i'm definitely not a teacher though! just a dude haha

[roseblooms]

It's charming, frankly. She won't let me teach her any of the combos because she wants to figure them out for herself.

In seriousness, though, I wouldn't mind learning a little more about photography. For all the focus around here on hallucinomemories, I think it'd be nice to be good at capturing the ones I actually want to remember, too.

[mercurio]

tell her the gamefaqs for it has been out forever
that'll help
hey fawkes i'll definitely be happy to lend you a hand! if you need help choosing a camera too, i'm your guy

[roseblooms]

I will say it was a thing of beauty the first time she accidentally kicked my character's head off. Equal parts competitive delight and abject horror.

Are they very expensive? Cameras, I mean.

[mercurio]

you must have felt proud though
depends on the camera! and what you want of it

[roseblooms]

I'm on a budget, unfortunately, which is my only pressing concern.

It's not a hobby I'd be against trying out, is what I mean, but I don't really have the resources to commit to it in any serious capacity.

[mercurio]

oh in that case you can still use your phone's camera!
i'd be happy to give you some tips on all the modes

[roseblooms]

I'd appreciate it, thank you.

...Out of curiosity, how surreptitiously can one take photographs with a phone camera? Fairly stealthily?

[mercurio]

oh totally dude
i can teach you tricks to do that no big
