asking for a friend

Ritsu Kageyama 7/2 near Chata

Welcome to all the unfortunate new users of Retrospec. You should know the unnatural changes of the world also affect loved ones outside the city, who are oblivious as the non-Retrospec users here; you might also experience some physical changes or receive unwanted things in the mail. Usually at the start of the month, given others' accounts. Anyway... If people were being very insistent. (Very.) And refusing to take no for an answer, what type of birthday present would you ask for? P.S. Indecisiveness is unhelpful and not the point of the post, please refrain from posting so unless you have some idea.

mixtape
but that can be a little complex so
apple juice

[esperimental]

I didn't know people still made those.

[ ................... ]

Apple juice?

[ Why did Ritsu ever briefly think he could understand people. ]

[parodeity]

yeah how can you go wrong with aj

[esperimental]

You must be a really loyal fan of it. That honesty is like some kind of TV commercial.

[parodeity]

i mean if i were gonna be a tv commercial id be even more way over the top about it right
and probably not be able to open a bottle right or w/e

[esperimental]

Have to extend the screentime. Have to include a gratuitous close-up to the face and an even more unnaturally bright smile after simply quenching thirst.

[parodeity]

this is starting to sound like a horror flick

[esperimental]

They always joke about it being tomato, but vampires could hide it in apple juice containers too, why not.

[parodeity]

or maybe aj is people

[esperimental]

Ok so I judged people before for ditching perfectly fine brands because of fruit when they got faces and legs
but if it's people I respect that ditching

[parodeity]

eh to be fair thats just normal fruit
it just happens to dance
i mean they dont have legs really they just
jiggle

[esperimental]

I forgot how mad I was about having to put them into a bowl so they don't fall off anywhere. Seems so minor now compared to taking most of the blue away.

[ A beat. Then another message pops up. ]

Retrospec color vampires.

[parodeity]

god i guess those might actually be a thing
but howd they bite the sky

[esperimental]

When you really think about it what separates the air right in front of you from the sky? Mountain climbers will still define it higher than their current point.

Are you already biting the sky if you happen to be facing up?

[ This might be the single least mature conversation Ritsu's ever had yet. ]

[parodeity]

maybe if you gnash your teeth a little

[esperimental]

The matter of air's all-encompassing powerless against the unreasonable forces of Retrospec.

It was either that or the unlikelier individual tampering of eyesight of the entire world's population.

[parodeity]

this sounds like an excellent if weird movie tbh

[esperimental]

Someone could legitimately make a Life with Retrospec documentary. But they won't because there's no funding and nobody will believe them but us.

[parodeity]

i kind of feel like jim would approve

[esperimental]

All the more reason not to do it. Even if it could be helpful. Ugh oh no.

[parodeity]

ugh oh no?

[esperimental]

Compiling data would be a good approach to figuring out what their... whatever is. Maybe not an all out documentary but it still upsets me Mr. Jim would be flattered.

Agenda. Whatever is agenda.

[parodeity]

yeah i dont think any of us have many guesses as to wtf that is

[esperimental]

"Here's an app that makes you either the only sane people in the world or the opposite because you're the distinct minority, have fun."

[parodeity]

i like to pretend its the sanity option
