[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. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

wow, vague AND threatening update notes. that's a new one. your invasion of privacy angle is pretty impressive, too.

you guys know how to inspire confidence in your products. love I can't change my profile pic either. 5/5 stars. i'll definitely recommend this app to anyone who asks for something that's both creepy and broken. [His profile picture is a cute dog. At least it's not terrible.]

new phone who dis

[crushcard]

give it a month and you can change it to something else

don't bother recommending it to anyone, they'll just think you're mad until maybe they somehow end up on the app too

wrong number

[darkgame]

so it's also frustratingly mysterious? cool. [He already thinks he's crazy for suddenly remembering blue, green, and horses.]

[hauhra]

My, my. If it isn't Adam... I must admit, I'm pretty excited to see you on something like this! Want to know why, Adam? Because...

It means that I won't have long until you have me banned from this place as well... and I'll finally have this app off my hands for good.

So come on! Report me like you always do.

[darkgame]

[hhh. WELL:] don't you have something better to do?

[hauhra]

What could be better than saying hello to an old friend, my dear mentor...? Besides, as I was so kindly reminded, I should be less surly about socializing than I have been... and messaging you seemed as good a way as any to start. So, unless you want to deal with the repercussions of me getting myself into trouble because I was bored... I would suggest that you be careful what you wish for...

[ and by "repercussions" he means "I will be even more difficult than usual" :rolling_eyes: ]

Anyway... let's get back to that ban, shall we? Are you going to have Janet flag this account like you did my others?

[darkgame]

i know you lack self-control and that's why you're begging to be banned, but have you tried not using this app

he's dumb and i'm sorry

[hauhra]

I've considered it, yes. However...

Just because I stop using the app doesn't mean that I have to like having an account that I never asked for with it. And besides... as an anti-social delinquent, I have a certain image that I have to maintain... having a social media account would challenge that image... and that could be a real problem for me. Understand, Adam?

you mean he's perfect

[darkgame]

omg. [The kid's going to cut himself with all that edge.]

[hauhra]

What's this...? You seem to be speechless, Adam. Is something wrong...?

[ So basically, just like in canon. ]

[darkgame]

i don't understand how anyone would want to waste their time like this. go do your homework or something [Stop wallowing in teenage angst, damn.]

[gandora]

honestly, the creepiness is what makes it interesting. i, too, want to post about being in a dark alley while simultaneously wondering why my best friend has suddenly decided to use a dog for a profile picture.

[darkgame]

internet safety 101

[gandora]

You should teach a class, tbh.

[darkgame]

hey real quick who's your boss again [Yugi's apparently easier to ask than Google.]

[gandora]

Seto Kaiba. Why?

[darkgame]

[That's what he thought.] just wondering. [hhmmMMM. Yeah, okay, he shouldn't end it like that or else Yugi will bother him.] i thought he'd be too busy because he's a successful game developer, but he commented on my post.

[gandora]

Well, he is busy, but I'm sure he takes some time to talk to people. It'd be boring having to work all the time.

[ So what he's saying is that people actually work and then do leisure activities, Adam. ]

[prometheanflame]

Welcome to my life for the past two months.

[darkgame]

wait, you have been using this broken piece of crap for two months now? [free Mohammed from Retrospec 2k17]

[prometheanflame]

Unfortunately, yes. Remember the week I sent you a text every day asking if my birds were fed? Everyone on the app realized that we shrank down to a few inches while the rest of you continued on with your daily lives unaware this was strange.

You also realize that the colors blue and green are missing? That's happened for about a month.

[darkgame]

seriously? six inches? i just figured you were out of town.

but i remembered this morning. horses too. what else has happened?

[prometheanflame]

They used to exist. Now non-Retrospec users only recall Chocobos ever having existed. Get used to fruit with smiling faces, too.

[darkgame]

appreciate the info man. all of this because of a phone app, too... i was joking about incompetent devs to someone else earlier. technology can't do this, right?

i could understand if it were perception and mass brainwashing or subliminal messaging... something to that effect, but that's impossible

[prometheanflame]

We've theorized about citywide brainwashing, and one of us brought up the possibility of a computer simulation. Naoto, I believe. We've also been receiving visions of another world and time, and some of us have been gaining superpowers as well.

I honestly have no clue what it means, but I believe there is reason Retrospec might have been a government project.
