Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options. 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. As a reminder, everything besides uploading a profile picture and information was locked until this post. 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. Oddly, profile pictures still cannot be swapped out at this time, so hopefully you took a good one.

Not at all. One must know when to tip their hand when playing the game.

Yaboku Tomioka Stuuuupid! If you think it could be malicious, you should avoid putting real information on it!

[ Who is this Yaboku person Mikorin has certainly never heard of? For the record, this is his profile picture. Photoshop may or may not have been involved. ]

[Good thing this isn't audio, or else there might be a noise only audible to dogs.]

OH MY GOSH HI! Wow, I almost feel special now if I got into the same sort of thing as you...!

[Uh, Maya? The... security concerns? Maya? ...Maya...?]

I suppose that's one of the benefits of my position, yes.

Still, it's going to be quite some time before I take control. I have plenty of time to continue my education while I wait.

No, the strange sound I heard didn't sound anything like a fell wind, or anything like that. It just sounded like an peacock. I remember those from the last time I was at a zoo, but it wasn't quite right, and much too loud.

ok well
yea thats worded in a super creepy way
i guess i was kinda excited at being able to link all the different networks in one place you know??
like isnt that the direction its all going anyway
companies all buying each other out
i mean wouldnt it be illegal for something to get autodownloaded that would be honestly dangerous?
theres gotta be rules about that
privacy stuff
right?
ok shit now im kind of worried

...Yosuke.

I don't even see a feedback button. that's not very fair, is it?
how do we tell them what we think of our test period if there isn't an option?
odd.

[borntoolate]

Strange because of yetis?
Or strange because of mystery app?

[hjack69]

sorry i stopped following crackpot theories after i dropped acid and freaked out about how they grow seedless grapes
time cubes sounds kinda badass though
like some matrix shit

[beastenderblood]

I could invest in like

Really cheap stock

And hope it suddenly booms into big business

[browbeater]

oh

well there goes one possible culprit. i guess i feel better knowing i wasn't suckered by apple or anything

[catsudon]

Here's a neat trick: hand your phone over to literally anyone at the store. Step back. Ask them to find the app.

Be amazed.

Then ask them to hand the phone back.

Be even more amazed at what happens next.

[burningblossoms]

Why? What did the cat do? Use the lumber as a scratching post?

[clear_eyes]

I'd fear we were being the victim of some kind of fraud, but if that's their aim, they seem to be doing it in a manner quite elaborate.

I would think they'd take the information and run.

The alleged "truth" in that photo is most likely shadows toying with the dim lights of the street lamps.

Cameras are merely tools that capture the essence of a moment but not the full truth.

[onceandfuturemascot]

It sounds like general marketing fluff
Also ambiguous grammar
Was our selection based on cutting edge algorithms?
Or is the app based on etc.
Antecedents guys

Rose Strider So long as you don't agitate him, he'll stick to small mammals. If you come across him again, do let me know.

[metafaliure]

This is Secret Google. We're risking a lot to tell you that your dog may have been compromised by spies. You have to brush your dog until the tracking devices fall out. They'll look like old leaves or maybe pine needles or just grass. Tell no one about this message.

BLESS YOU ROSE I NEEDED THIS

[youraffection]

Yosuke Hanamura WHAT THE HELL IS THAT

[true_noir]

[Game? What game? Were they playing a game? Chloe was becoming confused by this conversation.]

Well, they've hardly told us what the rules are. So, I feel like I'm at a loss if we're playing a game? And aren't you revealing something by saying you're notorious?

[burningblossoms]

Yeah, there's no button for that on this either.

I wonder if a factory reset on my tablet will do it. Because it's not just on my phone. what about you?
