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.

[Never!]

So much for finding a common thread. Operating system doesn't seem to matter.

Would it be stating the obvious to say this was very strange?

[strongestheart]

[ (；￣Д￣） ]

A tiny bit. Maybe. Yes. Yes, this is very strange.

1/2

[clear_eyes]

Maybe you should tell your parents. I'm going to show my mother immediately.

2/2 - 15 minutes later

[clear_eyes]

IT DISAPPEARED

[strongestheart]

If it disappeared how are you talking to me here?

[clear_eyes]

It came back when she was gone!

She asked me if I was overworking myself! I can't believe this! My mother thinks I had delusions!

[Rachel, most people would say "she thought I was nuts" or something.]

[strongestheart]

okay no more emojis now i'm just super creeped out

[clear_eyes]

This is like something out of a bad movie about cyber-terrorism.

Maybe don't show your parents right now. I can't believe I'm saying any of this!

[strongestheart]

i wasn't going to anyway now i'm just worried we're gonna get cyber nuked or our phones and computers are haunted or something

[clear_eyes]

I like to think of myself as someone grounded in realism.

There is nothing realistic about any of this.

But this. Maybe I am overworked.

[Better that than accept the existence of the supernatural.]

[strongestheart]

Is a mutual hallucination possible?

Please say yes.

[clear_eyes]

[She discussed this exact thing with Caroline several days ago...]

Yes actually, but not quite on this level. It depends on the power of rumor and suggestion.

[strongestheart]

THAT "YES" SURE SOUNDS LIKE A "NO."

[clear_eyes]

It is a no, then. Humans just aren't capable of making it happen like this.

I don't want to admit it but this is real.

[strongestheart]

science has betrayed me and I don't even like science

maybe that's why it betrayed me

[clear_eyes]

Science is neither good or bad, Maya. It depends on how humans use it.

I honestly hope science can be used to get to the bottom of all of this. Even if for once using it makes the answers elude me, there's always going to be unanswered questions.

[strongestheart]

b e t r a y e d

none of this makes sense [Understatement.]

if THIS makes such little sense, who knows what else it's gonna do

[clear_eyes]

You do realize our speculation earlier predicted the exact thing we're dealing with now, right?

Maybe we should stop wondering.

[strongestheart]

i can't help it

brain won't stop

[clear_eyes]

Look.

You're obviously really worked up about this. What if I gave you my contact information? I'll call or message you first thing if I can find out anything helpful about all this.

[strongestheart]

[Continued here!]
