[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.

i'm okay aside from all of this happening.

well, i think it's more that they've been on here and we're late to the party. fashionably late? i'm not sure, but i hope so.

[ladytakamaki]

I can't tell if that's worse or not. It feels like..everyone's been keeping a huge secret from us, if that makes sense? I'm not mad or anything, but it just doesn't feel right.

[maskreant]

i get what you mean, but we glossed over the signs before, didn't we? at least i remember my friend came in with this blue bipedal crocodile yesterday and didn't bat an eyelash.

what matters is now.

[ladytakamaki]

...What? A blue...bipedal crocodile...? Can things get any weirder?

What do you think we should do, Akira...?

[maskreant]

well, apples dance and chocobos replace our horses. i'm sure it can.

[ WHY IS SHE ASKING HIM? HE HAS NO CLUE and he knows google won't save him. ]

remember we're not alone and we should depend on others. but, in the end, what you do is up to you.

[ladytakamaki]

Oh, right. The fruits...don't even get me started on the fruits... I'm never buying apples again.

You're right. We need to work together... We're not alone. So...you can let me know if you need anything, okay?

[maskreant]

they still taste the same. if i come into any problems eating them i'll warn you.

[ The next part is actually more difficult for him to stomach. Yukiko has already told him the same thing, but he can't find himself anymore comfortable with the idea. ]

i'll try. you can lean on me, too. i promise not to show up unannounced next time.

[ladytakamaki]

Please do. It just...creeps me out that we were eating them while they were alive, y'know?

Thanks. I'll keep you updated and let you know if anything weird happens. Hopefully I don't remember anything too crazy.

[maskreant]

are they really alive? technically fruit and vegetables when plucked from their soil/vines are considered dead.

if you do, maybe you can start writing a book? i'd read it.

[ladytakamaki]

True, but then they shouldn't be dancing! That's just not normal at all!

Somehow I get the feeling you'd have more interesting memories than I would.

[maskreant]

right... at least it's only a handful of fruit and not all of them. just close your eyes when you eat apple pie, Takamaki.

really? i'm sure i probably have some mundane memories. maybe in my past life i was a cat.

[ladytakamaki]

Ugh! Don't remind me! I can't look at apple pie the same way ever again!

Well...being a cat honestly doesn't sound all that bad. You get to laze around all day and be pampered. Who wouldn't want that?

[maskreant]

happy thoughts.

a crazy person, obviously. would you take care of me if i turned into a cat?

[ Ann is cute, so... ]

[ladytakamaki]

What? What kind of question is that?

[ akira!!! pls ]

I mean, I guess someone has to...

[maskreant]

[ he can die happy now ]

thanks. i'll behave, i promise.
