[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.

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

[crushcard]

it's probably a stronger password than everything retrospec has probably used to far,
actually.

[darkinferno]

you could roll your face across the keyboard and it would be a stronger password than anything they'd think about using

[crushcard]

actually, let them continue using easier passwords. easier to hack them if they're spying on us.

[crudest]

are you asking for recommendations on secret codes or handshakes
did you not have a childhood

[crushcard]

that was sarcasm, could you not tell
i had an excellent childhood thank you

[ that is also sarcasm. ]

[crudest]

does excellent translate to "lonely and under obscene amounts of social pressure" these days
asking for a friend

[crushcard]

possibly, but if it was i'm not telling you
sounds fake. are you that friend?

[roseblooms]

Here's a thought:

Et's-lay all-ay alk-tay in-ay ig-pay atin-lay.

[ fuck i had to run this through a translator ]

[roseblooms]

Well, THAT'S a mouthful.

Possibly moreso than the secrecy it provides is actually worth, all things considered.

[parodeity]

im pretty sure we just got told were being spied on even more creepily than originally assumed tbh

[crushcard]

Jim would have been unhelpfully vague and insulting about it, so I'm going to have to admit I prefer this method of calling out,
to be honest.

Although the thing about not spying at us through our phones was welcome news.
If you believe it that is.

[parodeity]

i mean
i think that just means they have a way to spy on us without those

[liberal_arts]

Is there any certainty to the idea that they are the ones that did the breaking?

[crushcard]

i'm hesitant to say absolute certainty, largely because the evidence i'm basing this is based off those hallucinomemories they've been sending us at odd intervals.

but there is a reasonable amount of certainty, if my assumptions are correct.

[liberal_arts]

We know they are aware. We do not know they are the cause. I get the impression it's something beyond that.

[hauhra]

Something like this could work.

Though...

It may need a few additional steps if it's going to remain a secret

Since I'm sure Maurice is reading every single one of these comments even if he isn't replying.

[crushcard]

they've already admitted to spying on us openly, what even is the point of all this secret code and handshakes nonsense that's not even efficient

... even i don't make my interns read through that many inane comments on a social media post when they could be doing something more productive with their time and skills.

[hauhra]

That may be true in your case... but for them, looking at the comments on their posts very well could be considered productive if it's dirt on us they want.

...and besides, this is Retrospec we're talking about here.

[sharplydressed]

as soon as we come up with something he'd probably say it's not secret so it doesn't count
he seems like that kind of pedantic asshole

+1 to unbreaking things though please??

[crushcard]

it's probably why he irritates me the most among all the retrospec personalities that we've seen this far.

honestly, you'd think they'd be able to do more unbreaking considering that Jim has implied R&D isn't just him.

[sharplydressed]

same! he's such a jerk like wtf
why does he have to hold all the cards here and still try to make us feed his big huge ego

i guess they're too busy chipping and stalking all of us or w/e to actually fix the real problems in this stupid city though

[darkgame]

a firm handshake then touch your nose [And the can-can for good measure.]
