Hello Users, Please be advised that the temporal-spatial storm has now passed. Temporary access levels have been revoked. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please also be advised that as the storm has passed, work has resumed on certain other issues. You have my sincere thanks for your assistance. Thank you, Janet Halloway Human Resources Retrspec Incorporated As of this post, the city has completely returned to normal; damage has been fixed, monsters are gone, and NPCs now believe that monsters are definitely not normal but don't seem to remember them having been a thing. Oops? All weapons and powers gained in their various locations / as QR codes are now gone, additionally. Group 1 locations can no longer be accessed. Retrospec NPCs will not be reachable past this point! As mentioned to various members of group one, the Director does not approve of Retrospec's team speaking with its users, so NPC interaction will drop back down to what it originally was at this time. Doing research for these people will also net zero results. City-based NPCs will now remember members of group two! They will simply be under the belief that group two members were on vacation/had a family emergency/etc. No consequences will come from them being away at their jobs or school or anything else! Furthermore: -Horses are now regarded as valid mythological creatures! So you get mildly less strange looks for talking about them. -Photographs and text, online and off, now have the color blue again! -Visual video media (online, in theaters, etc) now has the color green once again! This does not include text yet. -There has been a new list of karaoke songs added to the city of Recollé! These songs can now be found in karaoke bars and machines all across the city and even can be sold on CDs for your own karaoke parties. -The Crow's Nest now has locations across the world, including a brand new location right in the heart of Recollé! After August's plot wraps up, be sure to grab a bite to eat and say hi to Kenny Crow. -Finally, the ocean has been restored! It's still gray, however. Keep working together to buy back world changes. 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.

halloway...she actually went through with it. that absolute madwoman.

i'd say i don't believe it but at this point i'd put nothing past any of them!!

nooooooot really digging the business as usual tone (but it's better than the alternatives...........what should i do???) which, considering there are entire universes just 'twinkle, twinkle, little bat'-ing out of existence with no real record whatsoever, maybe not unexpected?

we wanna talk about that? at all? anyone?

addendum

[eyestitch]

ALSO:

i know you have the least effective c.s. management system in history but that's ACTUALLY what i wanted to complain about so BLEEH!

where am i supposed to file a complaint about this 'director won't let us talk to people' clause? it's b.s.!! who's with me?

[doublesmall]

at least jim not posting at us anymore is an upgrade but yeah, kind of bullshit. social media is about engagement and all that shit right?

the intern's gotta read all this anyway I guess so I think we just file complaints by shouting into the retrospec void.

hey maury tell your director you guys needed a pr department like, six months ago, and also that that's a stupid rule

probably re-word that though. also let wendy post sometime and let us know she's alive, that'd be pretty great, thanks

[eyestitch]

all they rlly need is a suggestions box, yknow?

even if we put our ideas in and they just POOF! right into the void like that, wouldn't you feel better knowing you weren't just yelling in dubiously-arranged forum threads?

(that is ALSO a suggestion, maurice the intern who probably deserves better pay)

[twelfthspark]

Oh, is *that* why we maybe hear from them once a month when they fuck something up and then nothing? Lame.

[eyestitch]

i mean probably? it sounds like there's a hush hush policy about dealing with one-on-one feedback.

some of them might just be dicks though 😇

[twelfthspark]

Or both. I think I could bet on both.

[eyestitch]

i don't sign up for contests i know i'd lose! that's how i stay ahead in life.

but beneath all those chairman ceo manager jerks there's probably a bunch of small fries just tryina get by. if only we could send them a sign...

[But truth told, if the Retrospec directors are making bank, she's more envious of them than she really wants to admit.]

[twelfthspark]

If they're still doing their creepy spy thing, I guess you just did. ☄ *Forgive* me if I find it hard to feel bad for them, though~ they could just quit.

[Arlene that's not how jobs work anymore]

[eyestitch]

oh, yeah! hi, guys! i guess there's no point in being sarcastic about it.

something tells me the ones who don't monitor the app are the ones we can, you know. coax over. with cake! or something. cake totally compensates for a pink slip.

[twelfthspark]

I'm like 95% sure the cake won't even do anything weird! Can you say the same for your bosses?

[lalliho]

I think we should be allowed to talk to miss Gracie she's a robot so this rule is stupid

[eyestitch]

robots shouldn't have to follow human rules! though i guess that's how they exterminate us 2, isn't it.........

you rlly ran into a robot? TIGHT, that's almost as cool as our security detail!

[lalliho]

robot overlords would do a better job

what security detail

[eyestitch]

let's keep our fingers crossed for a coup!

ah, gosh, i don't know if i really want that to happen, though! this is a young girl's dilemma for sure.

we found a security employee while we were down in the icky crypts! her name's wendy and she's SUPER COOL!

[lalliho]

[This girl...is kind of scary to talk to. Thankfully it's text.]

aha

retrospec people didn't act very evil huh

[eyestitch]

yeah, i guess not. the doc was a little sus, i guess. but that intern is just in way over his head and wendy sounds like she has a tragic backstory. you know...one of those closed-off, badass heroes with a lot of pain in her past.

but...is that really any excuse for how they've treated us? even if they aren't evil, they made a choice!

[lalliho]

did they? which choice?

[judgementkazzy]

After everything, I'll just be happy to not have to worry about the city falling apart.

The fact that we can't normally talk to their employees really is weird, though.
Especially now that we know there's all these other worlds out there.

[eyestitch]

hope that monster insurance everyone was talking about really pays out... otherwise people are gonna be scammed out of their money twice over.

damage control m/b? entry level employees say the wrong thing, everyone panics, retrospec gets alien sued or whatevs?

[judgementkazzy]

It worked pretty well for me, I got a lot back on my car. The windshield got blown out back at the convention. That helped air out the smell of big macs, at least.

You'd think they'd have a PR department? I'd kind of like to see them get alien sued though, LOL

[eyestitch]

i can't believe you had to feed a dragon big macs............. it must have terrible cholesterol!

yeah now that i've said it i kinda wanna see it happen. are you pro-alien?


that can mean in support of aliens or you think they exist or whatevs

[judgementkazzy]

No kidding. 250 of those is more than I ever wanted to see in my life.

I guess after all this I can't just say aliens couldn't exist. Maybe they're rivals with Retrospec, and they have their own weird world craziness happening somewhere. I could see that happening if this was a movie or something.

[eyestitch]

can't believe they didn't make you go out and kill the cows yourselves! yikes...

sure. i mean, at this point, anything's possible, but if all that stuff about "worlds" is true, i mean. okay, like, humans are too stupid to go around destroying worlds all willy-nilly, right?

[judgementkazzy]

I don't think I could've handled that...

[ Fighting monsters? Cool. Killing animals? ...no... ]

Probably. If there's infinite universes then aliens have to be out there somewhere.
When you think about it, people from different worlds could count as aliens too, right?
We could be aliens.

[ That's deep, Kiryu. ]
