I only received the app recently, so I'm fairly new to all of this. Though it certainly hasn't left the best impression so far.

[ not to mention all the stories she's heard... if things aren't hard to believe, then they're just creepy. ]

I can't say I'd trust the people who run Retrospec any further than I can throw them. But so far, the rest of the users seem friendly.

[digthefuzz]

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

[He ignores the one that has gray in place of blue and insteads picks the one with the square pattern, bouncing it around in his hands mischievously.]

Alright, we have a winner!

[digthefuzz]

Ah, a newbie. Well, trust me. It can and does leave even worse impressions!

[he says with a weak laugh and then gestures to himself.]

We try to be helpful where actual Retrospec isn't! That's what happens when we all suffer them together.

[saburai]

Sounds like it's as much a social network as a support group.

[ Which makes sense, if people really are getting strange memories and superpowers as a result of being "chosen." ]

[strawberrypunch]

Hope Janet likes it.

[And Jim can go ahead and Deal. Tatsuma's not really the malicious sort, but a simple prank like this should be fine.

Now that their items are selected, he half-turns, clearly ready to head to the cashier but waiting on Kurt to follow first.]

[digthefuzz]

I'm sure she'll like it about as much as likes old Jimbo!

[He smirks as he starts moving towards the cashier.]

Now let's get this over with.

[digthefuzz]

[He snorts at that.]

You're not wrong. It's not what I expected from a random new app, but... then the last few months happened. I'm sorry to say that you're in for a lot of weirdness to come.

[saburai]

[ A nod. ]

I've heard it involves stalking and superpowers, so that... sounds about right. Honestly, I don't want to imagine what's next on their list.

[strawberrypunch]

[To the cashier they go!]

How much is the toaster?

[With the... design. Kurt's definitely walking out of here with the pricier gift.]

[digthefuzz]

You haven't heard wrong. [He confirms with a nod.]

I don't really want to imagine either! But I have a feeling we'll find out eventually, whether we want to or not.

...Sorry, this all sounds pretty depressing, doesn't it?

[digthefuzz]

[Kurt finally looks at the price tag, and his eyes widen as he does so.]

Fifty dollars?! Man, for this price... I really hope we get to see the look on old Jimbo's face afterwards!

[strawberrypunch]

[...That does bring up a good point, though.]

If we give these to him... Do we get to go to the wedding?

[digthefuzz]

[He pauses uncertainly.]

...And would that be a good thing or a bad thing? Buying these things... Is it like a deal with the devil?!

[strawberrypunch]

[Just casually getting in line now.]

We'd get to see him in person.

[That... might be worth something?]

[digthefuzz]

Yeah, we would... [He gets into line as well!] Think we'd be happy to sneak in some rope or something?

[strawberrypunch]

If there's enough of us, we can try to catch him.

[Overpower by numbers!]

[digthefuzz]

[He snaps his fingers and points at Tatsuma.]

You got it, dude! It'll be the perfect trap. Then he'll spend his honeymoon answering our questions!

[strawberrypunch]

Maybe Janet can answer, too...

[It'd be really great if they could learn what's up...

The line isn't too long. Tatsuma's up next. And when he sees that, something else seems to occur to him.]

Oh-- do you want to hear a rumor?

[Subtlety at its finest.]

[digthefuzz]

True that! We'll figure out once and for all what the deal is there.

[He waits in line behind Tatsuma, raising an eyebrow at his question.]

Um... Sure, why not! I'm always hungry for some good old-fashioned gossip!

[strawberrypunch]

Prompto helps little old ladies across the street.

[Success!]

[digthefuzz]

Huh! That... does sound like something he would do!

[strawberrypunch]

Exactly.

[So please believe him. Or not, whatever, he's just one step closer to five people!

As the clerk calls him over, he only half-turns towards them, pausing to wave at Kurt.]

See you later?

[digthefuzz]

[He flashes a peace sign.]

Yeah! Thanks for the company. Peace out, broseph!

[saburai]

[ She shakes her head. ]

There's no point in denying it if it's true, depressing or not. I'd rather not dwell on the possibilities, but there's no use in keeping my head in the sand, either.

[digthefuzz]

True that! No one wants to be an ostrich. [He says with a soft laugh.]

And as long as you brace yourself, maybe things won't be too bad!
