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.

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.

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

Even Retrospec sees the advantage of the Academic Work Machine.

[frostythehitman]

What the hell kind of college credit do you get for being assistant to a bunch of evil jerk overlords?

[standalonehuman]

And here I thought that was a course requirement to get your MBA.

[vendettastool]

I never had to do that.
Granted, I grew up as an unpaid intern for my Father, but still.

[standalonehuman]

I hear that nepotism is the other course path for an MBA.

[frostythehitman]

Yeah? What's that stand for, master of barbaric assholeness?

[ okay look, he's 16, he's got no business knowing or caring about MBAs. ]

[standalonehuman]

Masters in Business Administration, advanced degree for business work. How to Sell Your Soul, the Advanced Version.

do they make nonmetal chips now

just cuz if theyre metal maybe theyd be picked up by scanners but idfk if not

[frostythehitman]

I don't know, probably? It's 2017, I bet they have plastic microchips by now.

And even if they don't, it's not like Retrospec's ever cared about what the bounds of reality are. We have fruits with faces on 'em, they're mad scientists.

[originallutece]

I'd guess somewhere along your back. The implant, I mean. Either that or behind your ear. That's certainly where I'd put a tracking device.

[frostythehitman]

Have you been planning to?

[ That was WAY too well-thought out to just be an off the cuff answer. ]

[originallutece]

I wouldn't be talking about it if I hadn't already done it, James.

[frostythehitman]

Bull.

Implanting people like that is too low for you. You'd never get your hands dirty like that.

[originallutece]

You're so certain of what I would and wouldn't do. Who's to say I wouldn't make an exception for you?

[sharplydressed]

if he's enough of a jerk to intern at the HQ of some evil corp
he probably doesn't care about giving us any info

[frostythehitman]

I don't expect any of them to. None of them have ever given us answers and I don't expect anyone to start now.

I'm just doing this to heckle them and let them know I'm not gonna take it lying down.

[sharplydressed]

i guess that's about all we can do right now
kinda sad but w/e ┐(´～｀;;)┌
maybe someday one of us will find the right button to press and piss one of them off enough that they actually say something

[frostythehitman]

I don't think it's gonna come from just yelling at them. If we want to push their buttons, we're gonna have to physically do it.

But trash talking them feels pretty good in the meantime.

[sharplydressed]

i know a few people are already lining up to kick jim in the shins
maybe that would do it?

true though lmao
i vent about them aaall the time

[vendettastool]

It could be a biocomputer, tho that's something I'd expect in a sci-fi movie then anything else.

[frostythehitman]

Like we don't already live in one?

[vendettastool]

Of course we are. That is what a body is after all.

I was talking more about our surroundings.

[frostythehitman]

So was I, I was saying we already live in a sci-fi movie. A really crappy one, too, since there's no robots or spaceships or flying cars.

It's just one of those sci-fi dystopia movies about surveillance states and all that crap. 1984, but with messed up presents at our doorsteps too.

[vendettastool]

I'm still waiting for my screenless computers that project holos in thin air that I can work from but no, it hasn't happened yet.

Only problem with that would be that you would have been brainwiped the moment you started making emo music.
