[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.

What's that supposed to mean?

[seizedtheday]

Exactly what you think it means!

[insantafe]

I didn't do anything, alright? What is it with you and accusing me of stuff for no reason?

You keep this up and I'm going to have to get a lawyer.

[seizedtheday]

[ say what ]

Maybe you'd just talk to me I wouldn't be jumping to conclusions.

[insantafe]

Well, if there was anything to talk about then maybe I would!

[seizedtheday]

Oh, like whatever else you've remembered isn't the cause of half of this.

You were more than willing to tell me all about it, so it's not hard to assume something's gone wrong

[insantafe]

I told you about one thing I remembered! You can't judge off of that!

[seizedtheday]

And you've gone and done a complete 360 in opinion since.

I'd think I'm on grounds to be at least a little concerned about that.

[insantafe]

And just how is accusing me of doing something showing concern?

[seizedtheday]

Because I'm worried about you.

God, Jack can't you see that?

[insantafe]

[ ????????? ]

Well, I'm telling you, there's nothing to be worried about. Alright, Dave? I'm fine.

[seizedtheday]

[ exasperated newsboy noises ]

If you say so.

[ TIME TO ASK KATH INSTEAD. ]

[insantafe]

I do say so!

[ Don't give him that Disappointed Parent stuff! You're not his real dad! ]

Besides, we still don't have any proof that any of that stuff is even real. Why should we waste our time worrying about it when we've got more important stuff to be focusing on?

We've got lives to lead right here, right now, Davey. I don't know about you, but I know which one matters more to me.

[seizedtheday]

[ You wouldn't listen even if he was ]

It feels real enough. Like a regular conversation you and I [ and Katherine ] would have had.

I can't help but feel like it's important, y'know? Because otherwise what's the point of them? An unwelcome distraction from the mundane? There's enough of that already I'd think.

[insantafe]

Are you really saying you don't think the guys who somehow managed to shrink us all down to the size of bugs wouldn't play mind tricks on us, too? Because I'm pretty inclined to believe that one myself after all the things they've been putting us through.

[seizedtheday]

I'm not saying I can't deny the possibility but it just doesn't feel like it. The variables just aren't equating into something cohesive enough for that.

That being said, I'm not really sure how a memory of oysters would factor into that.

[insantafe]

[ hold on. what. ]

Oysters?

[seizedtheday]

[ That's what you decide to focus on????? ]

A memory I ...remembered, I guess. 'The world is yer ester'

[insantafe]

The world is your what?

[seizedtheday]

Your oyster!

[ It's a good memory isn't it? Such an inconsequential one like this makes it seem less mind screwy. ... Or that's what he keeps telling himself anyway. ]

[insantafe]

You said "ester" before. What was that, some kind of bad accent?

[seizedtheday]

Don't look at me, that's how he pronounced it!

[insantafe]

Y'know, that's one thing I've noticed about those things. Everyone has an accent.

[ except Miss Lutece and her father ]

What's up with that? I haven't known anyone with an accent like that before. And that's just one more reason not to believe in them, if you ask me.

[seizedtheday]

...Really? Sounds like home to me.

[ pauses for a minute though ]

Come to think of it, the person who sounds closest to it is probably my grandfather.

[insantafe]

New York? You know I've only ever been when you dragged me out there. Why would I be getting memories of people with New York accents?
