[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.

haha
oh
actually that reminds me
you are new to retrospec right?
has anybody told you about the potential for uh
physical mutations?

[doitrockapella]

...Physical mutations? No, not yet, but please do elaborate.

[livingdeadgirl]

well the longer you're on Retrospec, the more visions you have and the more you remember about the other you
but I guess the way I would describe it is
people's bodies have been "remembering" too
for instance one of my friends woke up one day with naturally purple hair
another guy got a gnarly red arm

[she almost mentions "another guy got horns," but considering how sensitive Karkat is about that...]

and although nothing of the sort has happened to me yet
I am apparently going to turn grey and grow horns eventually?
man now that I think about it like that it feels kind of weird :\

[doitrockapella]

...And how exactly do you know you're going to end up like that? How could you possibly be certain?

[livingdeadgirl]

because I remember being a kind of alien called a troll
and that is what trolls look like :)

no not a robot
more like a joke twitter that got out of hand
so one day he wakes up and realizes "wait I actually got hired by them"
but he's in too deep, he can't back out now!

[covenantal]

Hahaha. So Mr. Halloway is faking it till he makes it, huh? That could explain his cavalier attitude.

[livingdeadgirl]

"cavalier" is one word for it
maybe he's trying to get fired
he never wanted this

[covenantal]

Trying to escape a terrible, demanding job he never asked for, he slowly sabotages himself with snarky public addresses and a bizarre marriage proposal...

It all makes sense now.

[livingdeadgirl]

coming soon: it backfires completely and he gets promoted to vice president of the whole company
"office space 2: electric blue-galoo"

yeah but do they have the subtlety to pull off a convincing Janet?
she's not swooning even a little bit
I mean she calls him "Mr. Halloway"
if you were going to present a fake lady as your Totally Real Girlfriend, you'd at least want to have her verify she's your girlfriend, right?

hey you know maybe I will
let's see, for 2020...
how old do you have to be to run for President anyway
16 is probably fine, right?

[splinten]

It can't make you any less qualified than other Presidents. You've got my vote.

[livingdeadgirl]

yessss
one down, 300 million to go!

yeah I know... but it's nice to think about
in the meantime maybe someone will set up a memories black market
they could make serious bank doing that :p

[daemonized]

An interesting venture. If you're the business-minded sort, maybe you can be the first?

Not a suggestion you heard from me, of course.

[He is, naturally, joking. Like he often does.]

[livingdeadgirl]

hmmm
I think I'll leave it to somebody with memory related powers
as it is I would not be able to deliver on the Kickstarter rewards

[daemonized]

A shame. If I know anyone with memory related powers, I'll be sure to tell you know first and foremost. Retrospec was not kind enough to grace me with anything like that.

[livingdeadgirl]

do you have any powers? :o

[daemonized]

I do. I can heal.

And yourself?

[livingdeadgirl]

:O! that's awesome
other people, or just yourself?

me, I can see ghosts
I think that counts as a power
even though I don't turn it on and off or anything

[daemonized]

Other people only. I think it would have been /too/ much of a blessing to be able to heal myself as well.

It certainly does count as a power. And now I need to ask: have you /seen/ any ghosts around the city?

[livingdeadgirl]

oh well it's still a great power :)

I have indeed
mostly out in the forest after dark
but I've also caught glimpses of them while driving past cemeteries and stuff
actually I'm thinking of revisiting the Recolle ghost tour soon to see if any of the locations are really haunted

[daemonized]

[spoopy

Okay, but no seriously, that actually is kind of creepy... in a surreal, vaguely interesting way. He completely ignores the subject of his own powers for the sake of hers.]

Can you interact with them? Or only just see them?
