[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.

That is the only thing that has been done to everyone, yes.
Some people have been given individual changes, however.

[maskreant]

individual changes.

different eye color? hair color. suddenly buff? did you get something like that, too?

[cattack]

Eye color and hair color for many.
Some have scars from wounds they never received.
The change I am forced to endure is a bit larger.
My ears have been replaced by cat ears.

[maskreant]

what? cat ears

is this real life?

would it be weird to ask for pics

which god must i pray to for some cat ears

i would only want them for a day or two though

you're a meow

[cattack]

[WHERE DOES SHE EVEN START WITH THIS.]

No.
I am a human.
No matter what Retrospec does.

[maskreant]

[ HE'S CALM NOW ]

right. that's a really weird change, either way...

wearing hats or glasses sound like a hassle. do they come with better hearing, too?

[cattack]

As far as I can tell, it is because the visions I receive have a person with ears like these.
It is fortunate I don't need glasses.
But they do.
It will make it... troublesome, once the fireworks begin.

[ VISIONS ABOUT CAT PEOPLE ]

maybe you knew people that cosplay? that's a far-fetched reason to give you cat ears, however.

right. do you think earplugs would work? customized headphones?

[cattack]

What is cosplay?

[i'm sorry for her.]

I am not sure how one would customize headphones for this.

[maskreant]

costume play. it's basically dress-up?

[ He's here to educate. Do not worry. ]

humans are inventors of varying degrees. you see that we've made videogames transpire reality

and then we have also created abominations like crocs.

[cattack]

I cannot say I have ever dressed up in costume.
Nor have I played video games.

[maskreant]

[ ??? ]

oh.

what are your hobbies, then?

[cattack]

Working out, training.
Studying.
Karate?
I suppose I enjoy going out for rides on my motorcycle, as well.

[maskreant]

[ S T U D Y I N G ? ]

you ride a motorcycle? that's actually pretty cool.

i've considered it before and actually wanted it to be blue, but...

we're here.

[cattack]

I do.
I enjoy it quite a bit.
Why is being here a problem?

[maskreant]

it wouldn't be blue, would it? i would need to get a different color.

... i guess i can just wait it out.

[cattack]

Ah... Good point. Though that is true everywhere now, it seems.
I hadn't thought about it, as mine is red.

[maskreant]

be careful, Cleo.

red might be next.





then they'll give you a cat tail.

[cattack]

You speak in jest, but it is likely.
Along with claws and fangs.
Among other traits.

[maskreant]

you're supposed to retaliate and stay positive about this, but...

you can contact me if you ever have an identity crisis.

[cattack]

It is surprisingly difficult to remain positive in these circumstances.
But the offer helps.
Comraderie is the only thing that makes this bearable.
Thank you.

akira kurusu has liked this comment.

i could say some dark things that would make our situation sound better, but i digress.

what did that one musical sing all the time? we're all in this together.

of course he likes the comment about friendship, that's how protags can summon satan

[cattack]

At the risk of sounding repetitive, I don't watch musicals either...
But thank you for avoiding the dark things.
We have quite enough of that now.

LET HIM LIVE HE LIKES STUFF FOR NO REASON

[maskreant]

wow...

if you want to broaden your horizons, i can also help with that.

he has to rank up his charm to let him live.

[cattack]

I suppose it cannot hurt...
Though I lack free time to try new things much of the time.
Since joining Retrospec, I am beginning to understand just how little I know about what normal people do.
