[recollecters]

hey, for the record we aren't keeping records on you through your electronics. they're useful tools sometimes but they're not required. mr. halloway wanted you (the people meeting at the utsuki dojos at 8pm on sundays) to know it's a nice effort but he still doesn't see any secret codes or handshakes so the meetings aren't spy-level enough to keep him happy yet. also he made me take notes on all of them. i don't really care about how spy-level they are, though. also the technicians managed to fix some things. Maurice Fitzwilliam Intern Retrspec Incorporated As of this post, the following changes have been made to the world: • Normal limes are available alongside the dancing variety. • Horse-related items such as horseshoes, bridles, and feeding bags. These items will still be regarded as unusual or fake by NPCs but will be available in various locations. • Visual media regains the color blue. This applies to all forms of film whether watching on-screen, online, or reviewing videos PCs recorded prior to the loss of color. Please note this is only videos, not pictures. 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.

nice to know we're not being spied on. any ideas for secret codes or handshakes to keep our retrospec overlords satisfied?

please continue fixing what you all broke in the first place.

[darkinferno]

here's the new secret code

FUCKJIM&RETROSPCfuckjanet2
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

case matters

[thesettingsun]

Have you considered getting a better job, Maurice? I know there are places hiring that aren't terrible. Do you know how to mix drinks?

[scythegun]

For the record, Leviathan's Claw is no longer hiring.

[o h m y g o d]

[crudest]

holy shit an intern
maurice how do i get your job
i'll do coffee runs and sound like a jackass for free even

[parodeity]

how the fuck do any of them get their jobs
like serious q
how DOES one get hired to be part of a secret society

[destiny_key]

awww jim didnt get fired after all
my dreams have been crushed

but omg maurice is real too!!!
i think i like him the best so far
sorry janet

[parodeity]

technicians
is that really the job description of a technician
like hey ill make limes a thing again
what do you think the salary for that even is?

in more important news next week im gonna screen The Road Not Kraken
a dave strider original film
staring emil vasterstrom
with lots of those dots over his name i cant be fucked to make w/ my keyboard rn
and you are all cordially invited
its a masterpiece probably

[skald]

Västerström <- here you go, you can copy and paste (the dots are important and he will be huffy if they are missing)

Anyway congrats Emil!! And congrats to Dave too for the film, I want to see it!

[storytelleroftime]

Awww, guys can we take a moment to appreciate how nice Maurice sounds? He's my fav. Maurice is best retrospec boy. Fuck Jim.

But in all seriousness, so nice to see you guys are monitoring our electronics. I'll have to make note to hide mine whenever I talk Retrospec conspiracies with people.

[protegge]

i feel bad for him i bet jim is the worst boss right

i feel like we gotta rescue maurice

[manufactured]

I'm not certain I would consider this "fixing" anything, just given the nature of it, but it seems you've finally put some of the limes out of their misery. Well done.

[sivard]

Now we just need them to get rid of the rest of the creepy fruit.

[scarlet_devil]

The point of secret codes and handshakes is that they are secret. It would defeat the purpose otherwise!

[ladytakamaki]

Leave it to Retrospec to completely miss the point, yeah?

[darkinferno]

you might not have caught this at the last meeting maurice but we've made a couple important decisions you might want to update jim on:

1) no secret codes until he gets bent
2) no secret handshakes until he has the balls to meet us in person

after that we'll talk

[Internally: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK HOW DID THEY FIND THIS OUT

Also he likes you, Maurice. You can stay.]

[secare]

there's a fuck jim society???

i wanna join

[esperimental]

All lower case isn't very professional of you Fitzwilliam. Even as an intern.

[darkinferno]

do you really think jim gave him functioning equipment in the first place, he probably gave him a laptop with a busted shift key

[feistytrader]

Gintaro Suzukaze shared a photo. 7/14 near Freshens

I have a lot of regrets but check it out, it doesn't dance.

[We're going to quietly ignore the shutterstock and pretend someone's holding this damn thing because it's surprisingly hard to find a picture of a lime that's been bitten into by a savage.]

[skald]

Why did you have to bite it??

Omg what would you have done if it danced WHILE you bit it??????

[matchbreaker]

So if it's actually a matter of fixing things, does anyone think it's possible that they don't actually cause the changes?

I mean I don't think think so myself given Mr. Halloway's theatrics and that I didn't start getting memories until I was signed up. and they stalked me and my son.

But still.

[parodeity]

ive considered the possibility before
i mean when they were talking about like allocating resources to fix shit
why the fuck would they have that as a thing if they ruined it to start with
not that i think comprehensibility is a thing they can be accused of but even so

[frostythehitman]

[ jESUS CHRIST THAT'S CREEPY ]

Great. Awesome. FANTASTIC.

Good to know Retrospec chipped every single one of us. You wanna let us know where you've implanted them, Maurice? Or are you just gonna keep sucking up to The Man for whatever crappy paycheck you're getting?

If you even are getting one.

[standalonehuman]

Evidence points to him being an undergraduate research assistant doing this for course credit.

Even Retrospec sees the advantage of the Academic Work Machine.

[sivard]

I'm almost impressed that they've managed to fix one of the possessed fruits.

Almost.

I'm more impressed they're so camera shy now they're making the intern do the talking.

[crushcard]

hopefully it probably means they fucked up somehow that they're not allowed to deal with us as front of house anymore.

[twostringsonebow]

Why are the apples still smiling and dancing.
Why couldn't they have been the one that got fixed.
I have serious issues with your company's priorities, please tell upper management that they need to fix them.

[parodeity]

+1 to bring back apples

[notyourutopian]

You aren't tracking us but by the way here's an example of us completely tracking you.

Your argument seems thin.

Plus there was the whole 'pictures of you from behind when you're alone' thing you were doing last month.
Which was horribly intrusive and obviously tracking us.

It's all such bloody bullshit.

Now if you're giving colors back give me back my eyes!

[parodeity]

i think mostly theyre saying they can track us w/out our phones
why he felt the need to point this out is beyond me but
its pretty clear they dont need anything to stalk us
which is creepy as shit but w/e

[elevelvetor]

just a question of curiosity, however:

am i the only one who's going to miss the dancing limes?

[originallutece]

Yes.

[protegge]

maurice u sound kind of frazzled my man
have u considered a career change
have u considered working for the worlds best boss, goro majima

or like not for retrospec, generally
i bet it aint a paid internship

[me_matey]

GORO MAJIMA

WORLDS BEST BOSS

IM LAUGHIN

I CANT BREATHE

[overtwohundred]

[destiny_key]

he seems like a cool dude

[me_matey]

[redarm]

haha
dantes secret plan didnt work. ♪

anyway
is it too soon to claim theyre using magic of some fucking kind?
cause after the whole secrets thing that happened back in march
i cant think of a way tech could do this.

[livingdeadgirl]

what secrets thing?
I wasn't here for that :o
or more accurately I was here geographically but not on Retrospec
is that like how they were taking pictures of us from the back without any apparent cameras?

[judgementkazzy]

Glad to see Jim hasn't changed much. Is he just not allowed to post anymore?
He's got an intern so he must not have gotten demoted either...

I was worried about you, Jim. :-/

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Those photos came from places and vantage points where people physically couldn't be. Those videos were slapped together wholesale, from footage that didn't actually exist.
Hitori Togusa They're not hacking the phone cameras, they don't have a drone army, they're not even hijacking our own vision.
Hitori Togusa So what's left?

[rygdea]

Fynn Izunia Magic? Like I don't even know...

[rygdea]

Fynn Izunia You gotta be shittin' me.
Fynn Izunia They hired an intern.

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Better. An UNPAID intern. We should make him an offer.

[alitaba]

meetings will now be held bimonthly at the dogpark

[long_live_the_queen]

Is a dog mandatory?
