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.

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.

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.

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

The shins? What is this, amateur hour? Balls or nothing.

I mean that's pretty much all we've been doing for as long as this app's been around. I don't think anyone's figured out how to actually get to Jim to kick him in the balls for real.

going for the gold so fast huh
i guess his personality is bad enough that we can skip the honeymoon period of violence

and yeah pretty much
i don't think anyone even knows what he or janet looks like?
that's why there was that rumor going around that she was just a body pillow

I don't know what would be funnier: Janet being a body pillow he desperately ordered off the internet, or Janet being a real person who can reject him.

they both have charm points!
janet the body pillow has a nice ring to it
i'd also feel bad for any real janet tbh
unless she actually took him up on his proposal because she's into big memes or something

Man, if the real Janet actually hooks up with him, she deserves everything she gets, he doesn't exactly hide the fact that he's a total douche.

i mean tbf we barely know anything about janet
maybe the two of them together are a real match made in hell

Exactly! You get me.

Everyone acts like Janet's some decent person who just got wrapped up in Jim's BS, but we don't know anything about her. It could be both their BS. There's definitely enough of it to go around for two.

too true
my theory is that janet is the actual brains behind this operation and jim is just a front so we all get mad and focus on him
like some kind of evil power couple

And where does Maurice fit into this?

"tired intern who doesn't want to be here" feels like the easy explanation
so he's probably actually the true mastermind

So basically everyone who works at Retrospec that we know of is equally a mastermind.

Sounds about right. They're all evil to the core.

the way i see it you have to be at least a little evil to willingly work for a corp where jim is
also one that steals colors/messes with memories/etc

I bet they write that right into the job postings.

"Requirements:
-must have 5 years experience
-must be literally evil"

see though with jim's shitty humor
i 100% wouldn't actually be surprised if that was a real advert they had at some point
probably before janet was like "wtf jim change this"

What makes you think they changed it? I bet that's exactly how they ran it.

you know what that means
we really have to watch our backs around maurice

You say that as if I wasn't going to anyway.

At least Maurice sounds a lot more punchable. I mean, I'd punch any Retrospec person I found anyway, but especially Maurice.

that's true too tbh
like who even names a real actual human kid maurice in 2017??

maybe it's part of his evil villain origin story

Part of it? I bet it was the catalyst for the whole thing.

you'd think he would just wait until he was 18 and change his name, problem solved
some people are such divas

Well now it's such an integral part of his villainous origin story, he can't change it.

so he's keeping it around as his albatross huh? tragic tbh

It's either that, or give up his evil internship and find something else.

But maybe the job market just isn't good enough for that. Easier to stay a villain.
