Given that the developers of this application seem wholly uninterested in filtering children and inexperienced users out of their testing pool, I thought it would be prudent to go over some basic rules for navigating social media safely.

1) Never disclose personally identifying information online. Ordinarily this would include one's full name, but Retrospec has made that a moot point by displaying it at all times. Nevertheless, it is important that you keep other information such as your date of birth, home address, and passwords to your online accounts a private matter.

2) Never post anything that you wouldn't want someone to see. You might think you can just delete it, but once something's on the Internet, it's effectively there forever for anyone and everyone to see. Think carefully before you post.

3) If someone on the Internet wishes to meet with you offline, never go alone. Ensure that you have someone with you, preferably a parent or other trusted adult, and ensure that you'll be meeting in a public, well-lit area in open view. Better yet, don't go at all, as not everyone on the Internet is really who they say they are.

If anyone has any additional safety pointers, you're welcome to add them to this post.

[ In the midst of all the text entries in the network, there is surprisingly a video entry posted in Retrospec this afternoon. When clicking on it, a pair of identical twins (

tarotcards and

covenantal will appear on screen. ]

Hello, Recollé.

In light of Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, we’ve figured that we should host an event.

After all, it’s not Valentine’s Day without dates and unexpected confessions.

[ He says, copying almost word-by-word what a certain uncle said (asides from the 'awkward dates' part because look, he doesn't want to deter anyone from signing up). ]

Or without Cupid helping out. Which is, of course, what we’re here to do.

[ A pause as the two twins look at each other. ]

...Cupids? Or is it just Cupid?

[ A thoughtful pause, and: ]

Cupids.

[ And a nod from the other. They then both face the camera once again. ]

As we're such good and kind Cupids, we have decided to help everyone find their one true love. Therefore, we will be hosting a blind dating event, where no one will be alone for Valentine's Day this year.

Just text us your details and we’ll help set you up with the date of your dreams. Or, you can always give us a friend’s details, too.

[ Said completely deadpan. … is … he serious? Is he joking?? It is impossible to tell. ]

We’ll randomize everyone’s information to find them a date, and let you know on the 13th.

Then on the 14th, you can experience the date of your life. We won't just leave you completely hanging, though. We'll have our own little Cupids booth in the city to guide any unsure or confused little lovers.

[ Then, in unison, the twins both bow their heads and say: ]

We hope you enjoy the event.

[ A few minutes after the broadcast, a little extra text is attached: ]

Which outfit is better? Something more traditional or risque?

It’s important, so please be honest.

( ooc: Souji’s dialogue is in dark blue and Yu’s is in gray. The blind date event details are over here! OOC sign-ups are mandatory to participate, even if there’s an IC sign up here. The deadline is on Feb. 10 at 11:59PM EST so please get your comment in before then. Please reply to this entry as text-only, please! Also, Souji’s player (

tarotcards) will reply to all tags tomorrow so apologizes for the delay! Feel free to ask Ichi (Souji) or Pip (Yu) if you have any questions over here!)

There's two things to report this morning, three if anyone wants a list of just how many times my PA beat me during our morning martial arts training.
Item One: What kind of crazy details would you love to see in a game dedicated to the antics of lawyers solving impossible puzzles?
Item Two: I'm not ruling out military grade coding but from what methods I've got I can't figure out what was used to create this program or how it works. That said, it seems benign. No usual activity I'd expect from a virus or any other harmful program SO FAR. There might be more to it, but I've gone through every test I can think of and nothing is coming up. It's like it doesn't exist at a certain point. If anyone has anything else to report on this program, just let me know. Sometimes more then one head helps working out a puzzle.
Oh. And three: Giant chickens? Someone explain this to me, please.

You all acted like I was delusional for taking a picture of a creepy man in black, but WHAT HAVE YOU TO SAY NOW?

Does the disappearance of an entire species from the public consciousness strike you as a bit odd? And I just spent a good thirty minutes stuck inside the most suspicious headquarters building imaginable!

I'm not saying I told you so, but I told you so.
