[ she snorts. ]

Lame.

[ but it's said with a bit of a grin -- as much of a smile as she can sum up in this situation, anyway. ]

Mine's pretty boring, but... I guess it kind of makes no sense because of how boring it is?

[parodeity]

Borin' how? I've heard of a few mundane ones - like eatin' watermelon and the like.

[korekara]

Yeah, it's just kind of mundane. I was climbing a tree with two girls back when we were kids and the branch we were on snapped. We managed to catch ourselves on the tree and then we watched the sunset 'cause we were really high up. That was kind of it.

I have no idea who the girls are, either. It's weird.

[parodeity]

If it helps, I've seen a bunch of people in these things who I've definitely never met, too. It's...a little troublin', but I have also seen people I have met, so it isn't even a rule.

[korekara]

Makes you wonder if there's supposed to be... y'know, a point to all this.

[ She makes a meaningless little gesture with her hands and frowns, clearly frustrated with her inability to properly articulate exactly what it is she wants to say. ]

The weird Retrospec stuff and then... [ she taps the side of head for emphasis. ] It's like a weird science experiment from a bad creepypasta.

[parodeity]

I mean, that could potentially be the point. Livin' out a creepypasta is actually not the worst theory I have heard to date? I would, like, buy that as a theory.

[ WHAT IS LIFE THESE DAYS. ]

[korekara]

The insulting part is it's not even a good creepypasta, though?! Just...

[ jazzhands! ]

Ooooh, creepy haunted social networking app! Ooooh, spooky memories of stuff we never actually did! Too scary for me! If my life's gonna turn into a creepy science experiment, I want a little more intrigue than
this!

[ the instant anything actually gets scary, Honoka is going to think about this conversation and kick herself. ]

[parodeity]

So what would you consider good creepypasta?

[ this seems like an ideal time to get someone to creepypasta at him and dave is Here for that ]

[korekara]

Okay, well, first there has to be some kind of actual threat, you know? Everything's weird right now and it's scary because it's new and we dunno what's going on but nothing about is actually like... threatening or scary about this by itself? You know?

[ she's making a whole lot of incredibly animated hand gestures as she talks. ]

And second, we're the first ones this has ever happened to so we have no idea where it's all going. Imagine if we found something online where some guy was like "oh my god no, don't use Retrospec, it killed my daughter and ran off with my wife" and some other weird cryptic crap like that.

There's gotta be a threat! Or like... the threat of a threat! Otherwise everything's just kind of weird and surreal and that all stops being scary eventually.

[ Honoka is Opinionated about her horror stories ok ]

[parodeity]

I mean, we can totally spread the whole "Retrospec killed my daughter and ran off with my wife" creepypasta because honestly I think that sounds hilarious?

[ he will help you d this thing? ]

I think the threat of maybe bein' changed entirely exists, but admittedly that's more philosophical than anythin' else.

[korekara]

I'll do it. Don't think I won't.

[ she just has to make a stupid enough sounding alt that won't get connected back to her. perfect. ]

I gotta say though, I'm kinda glad that is the only threat. It's weird and it'll probably keep me up at night if I start thinking on it too much but. At least people aren't getting hurt or worse. I guess I'm sorta banking on that.

[parodeity]

If you do I'll help. And give you a few cool points mentally, tbh.

[ SAYS THE KID WHO SAYS ACRONYMS OUT LOUD, JFC ]

And yeah, so far it doesn't seem...actively malicious? Shit could be way worse.

[korekara]

Yeah. And as Dad-moving-into-a-haunted-house as I sound right now, I kinda wonder if maybe we should hang on a little longer and learn some stuff then go charging in to kick some but and get some answers. 'cause I figure the more we know for sure, the more we'll know if they're lying.

[ hopefully, anyway?! ]

[parodeity]

What kinda thing do you think they might, like, be lyin' about? To clarify.

[korekara]

Well, like... even if they're not lying they're sure as heck not telling us the whole truth. How'd they get our names and install the app like they did? And how are they getting stuff to people's houses?

They totally know a lot more about us all than they're telling us and I think it's really suspicious.

[parodeity]

I...don't disagree. Looks like Souji is ready to do his announcement or whatever, though, so...I'll talk to you about it later, I guess?
