I'm not stupid enough to purchasing this monster right after draining my savings account to buy "Michiyo". But isn't it nice to look at? The Bandit series are known as "hooligan bikes" out on the street. To say the least, the kind of people who own these monsters are rather damn reckless. I wonder what kind of engine this little monster is packing. Too bad I wasn't born rich.

[Hello, Retrospeccers! This sure is a video post meant to get your attention. Dante and Arlene are sitting next to each other somewhere on R.U.'s campus, making a joint recording. Give Dante a moment to make sure that it’s recording, and he’ll begin:]

Hey, this is for all the college students on the network--or at least, those of us around that age. Let’s say those of you 17, 18 to 22 or 23. In case you haven’t met me, I’m Dante.

I’m Arlene. You might have seen me in the Founder’s Day parade. [She winks, offering the camera her best royal wave.]

Now, there are a lot of us here to keep track of. Unless you’re in the same major or gen-ed classes, it’s pretty hard to meet up and recognize each other around campus. So Arlene and I came up with the idea--

I mean, I did, he kind of got involved by accident--

--to have a party where everyone can get to meet each other.

Mingle, have a good time, dance--I can assure you we have an excellent playlist lined up--everything you’d expect.

BYOB, bring your IDs, this is a public network so let’s not give the RPD a reason to come down on our heads. No bullshit or you’ll be thrown out.

[Does he mean that? Hell no. But he’s already tested a few of the police department members between commenting to them on the network or misfiring texts or, in that one case, running into them in person… so sure, he’s not above paying some lip-service to pretend he’s going to play all of this by the rules.]

Message me or Arlene for an invite and location or if you want to know anything more about it. Even if you don’t like us--hell, I don’t like her--

Excuse you. [She gives him a playful shove in the arm. At least, that was the plan, but there’s a sudden small flash of arcing electricity that seems to startle her as much as it does him. She takes a step back, her hair bristling with static, looking at Dante like this is his fault somehow, while Dante stares at her in apparent bewilderment. After a moment, he seems to remember that they’re still recording, and turns back to the camera, finishing:]

--there should be enough people there to avoid people you don’t want to talk to. It’ll be a good time.

You don’t want to miss out. Dante, a word?

[End video.]

[[ooc: As mentioned before, there is going to be a party log going up this Friday night for the college-aged Retrospeccers! Dante and Arlene will both be top-leveling below, so feel free to ask them for details and invites! (Discussions may be taken to private inboxes if they approach topics best kept off the network, such as drinking, and it can be assumed that they sent the location and instructions on how to get there to private inboxes as well--they really don't want random people crashing!)

This event is open to anyone of college age on the Retrospec network, as well as older high schoolers that might have an older friend willing to help them get in. Unfortunately characters that are obviously younger won't be able to get in, as just getting to the party involves a small amount of trespassing (it's an old abandoned warehouse on the fringes of the city), and there will be underage drinking (your party hosts are not very good role models) and they don't want to risk getting outed.

Any questions should be directed to the ooc planning post and DC and I will do our best to answer! Alternatively, use the post to make plans for what you want to happen! It'll be a big mingle post and will hopefully be lots of fun.]]

After that power outage, a major server glitch and someone putting cute little notes on my back, it's time for some chimaek. At least the game is up and running for anyone that's interested. Call this the unofficial official announcement of the game. Just without fanfare or sparkling lights. Anyways. Cheers.

Two important notes:

1) We should come together to discuss everything that we've found out about Retrospec, both the app and the company. I've just received something that might be a clue and a start somewhere but I'd rather not discuss this or show what it is over the network. I will be in Recolle Square by the fountain for the entire day to share any of my information. I hope others will come as well.

2) Share your favourite animal videos and then rate them with others. Bonus points if they're cats.

I'll start with mine. I'll, of course, rate this 11/10.

( ooc: this is in regards to the letter Souji got from Retrospec to prep for the beauty pageant event! There is a log here for those who want to share everything they know about Retrospec so far or to learn more, which will be an open mingle. For this network post, feel free to threadjack and tag others! We gotta rate and judge everyone's videos, right? )

um so! >___>;;;;;
as you can see in this video, i have some dancing and smiling fruit
i checked the orange, if you look on the left side, it is peeled a little bit......
it smells like an orange and ummmmmm
it tastes the same as one too........
the apple, lemon and lime also check out
i received these in a package today, it was addressed to me, and it was from retrospec
i am hoping someone else either has seen this before or received a similar package so if you did please contact me as soon as possible
if you have seen a mutation (i suppose!!!!) like this before please let me know
admittedly, i am sort of curious to see if this can be replicated.........
it is so incredibly strange!

[When you wake up on this fine morning and check your Retrospec feed, you'll find... Russian spam? It begins - ]

Доброе утро. Меня зовут Аня. [ - and it continues on from there, resulting in a full paragraph.

For anyone who can read Cyrillic, they'll find the following message: Good morning. My name is Anya. Is anyone able to understand this? I recognize it as Cyrillic, as Russian, however I don't recall ever being able to speak this language. I woke up and suddenly it's all I knew. If the people on here remember horses, maybe they remember me speaking differently? Properly? Maybe? Please let me know.

In an entirely separate text, she tries again. In two more languages.]

おはようございます。私の名前はAnyaです。わかりますか？これは日本語です。でも昨日でAnyaは日本語を話しません。

[ - and that also goes on. An English message, with the same approximate fluency level as the Japanese, to explain the whole situation is finally provided at the end. Third try's the charm?]

good morning. my name is anya. i am sorry to try again but i am confused. today i know how to speak russian and japanese. the russian is easy but the japanese is harder. english is also harder now. even though yesterday i only spoke english?

??? why?

if the people here remember horses do they remember the anya that did not know russian? please help. please. thank you.

( + action options! )

[ ooc: anya's regain was her canon language tick! an example can be found here! complete with sprinkles of Russian and accent. an additional note is that if you hover over the different alphabets, the exact translation should come up! AND FINALLY, Anya's hair used to be the lightest shade of the blonde in the world - and now it's gone full silver, but that's the least of her problems.]
