[recollecters]

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. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

[ well, that makes them sound ten times scarier than Noctis was thinking. ]

Some communication might help calm us, right? I've never heard of something like an uninstallable app before unless it's broken or some kind of malware. But since it's pretty broken in other ways, maybe it's an honest error?

[ ...Is he not taking this seriously, enough? ]

[glacian]

This could be an error but how would we know? Our friends at Retrospec are being rather tight lipped about their latest endeavors, don't you agree? They claim this is a friendly new means of communication and yet they won't communicate with us beyond a friendly greeting. Quite suspicious.

...

Pardon me for speaking so freely, Noctis.

I was thinking something like clicking on that illegal download link from google search, but maybe I should be thinking harder.

[orbweaver]

Rest easy, the app is self-installing. Not your fault that you’re one of the Chosen ones, just a stroke of luck.

Whether that luck’s good or bad depends on your perspective. Now that the surprise has worn off, I kinda like it.

[ (the hurry is that talking to teachers on social media is weird ..!!)

he's 95% Ardyn wouldn't do that to him... but he's also seriously concerned that if he brings it up to make sure it might give his professor a really awful idea. ]

It says we're exclusives of a group that's less than 200 people, right? I'm almost tempted to go find someone who doesn't have it.

[ and swap phones with them or something !? Gentiana is making this sound a bit more dangerous than silly scam malware -- like those horror movies where apps end up killing people who download and use it?? Or maybe not that bad but--

--Oh, he should go tell that to Prompto using this exact app even. ]

[daemonized]

[Is he making this awkward for you, Noct? What a shame that he doesn't seem terribly bothered by it. Though to be fair, beyond his first grilling, he's no longer making a cognizant attempt to try to make this weird for him. He's not quite that sadistic. Yet.]

The exclusivity bit is a suspicious thing. What is it that makes us all so very special?

[Gentiana is more dramatic than he is, sometimes. You shouldn't really take what she says to heart, if you ask Ardyn.]

Note how there was no explanation concerning that.

[devotional]

I do not think that this is a karmic occurrence, but it is rather worrying that there's no way to uninstall it, isn't it?

[riviation]

I'm sure it's harmless annoying malware at its worst but yeah there is a chance it could be a real concern.

[ gentiana has got him thinking about it a little more now, but he's not the type to jump to the most dire possibility as a conclusion even once he's thinking it... he just had really not thought past this app crashed my game...

wait-- that's a pretty unique name. besides, the last name, too... ]

lunafreya? you are prompto's luna...?

Yeah, he's pretty mad about it.
Wonder if it woke him up?

The notif spam from this app crashed my game earlier
so I found my way on here to complain.

[mercurio]

Meaning they managed to slip through the cracks? So maybe they can skip us out.

Or do you think there's gotta be a perk to this exclusivity and we should be sticking around?

[twelfthspark]

You never know. It could be the next big thing and you'd miss out on being there when it started.

[ this person seems like they are very positive feeling about the app. ]

so you think this app is probably ok or ??

Ragamuffins are so soft and too cute in their expressions! Definitely want to see what you got saved

There are suspicious elements to it and I would be lying if I said I hadn't noticed any of it. The lack of a TOS. The sudden download that puts U2's stunt to shame. The inability to remove it. It's all so very strange. But this is fascinating to be part of because of the aforementioned elements too.

So many people I know and care for are also using this app, adding a sense of personal stakes to being involved with this. It almost feels like we're on the verge of something but we're not sure what it is. Yet.

I've been on the internet long enough to know the risks of using something like this, so I take full responsibility of my actions. I think it's okay long as you take the measures to be careful. Not only for your own sake but for your loved ones' as well.

Oh wow I sound so serious in my last post and not a cat emoji in sight! I'm sorry for that.

You wanted cats? Here are some cats for you!

Here's the one I mentioned! He looks so cute when his fur gets fluffed up in guilt and tries to run away!

Here's another video similar to the one above, this time being about a Scottish Fold

Here's a compilation of cats trying to wake up their owners! 🙀

And! 👏 This 👏 is 👏 my 👏 favourite 👏 one! 👏 A compilation of cats meeting their owners after the owner was away for a long time, one reason or another. The first clip always melts my heart. The sweet cat jumping into his arms!! 😿 ❤️️

well I got good news for you
that it seems to be just glitched.
someone else I talked to has theirs turned off successfully so you should be good for sleeping

if I could uninstall it maybe it would fix it for me but I'll have to try another thing

[ he super appreciates people who know how to sleep and sleep well. so she's a+ in his book if he ever finds out. ]
