When you join the chat, please do the following in this channel: State your current name and any other information you feel like, and what units and clubs you were part of! If you remember them. If not, then don't worry about it, just mention it when you do.
Additionally, here are some quick resources and notes: • Guide to Retrospec, courtesy of Mrs. Elda Marker • Yumenosaki Academy is a performing arts school with a major focus on producing idols, a subsection of the Japanese entertainment industry that's very popular with men and women alike. The school puts a lot of importance on participation, and the Dream Festival (DreamFes) system is there to help encourage that. It's located by the sea and by mountains on either side, with a city not too far from it. • In Dream Festivals, units either go against each other or they work together. The winners are decided by spectators. Different rankings correlate with the importance, exclusivity, funding, difficulty, and level of rewards received from participating. In order from highest to lowest: ○ SS - The highest ranking DreamFes. These involve schools aside from Yumenosaki Academy too, and are held very rarely throughout the year. The hardest, but most rewarding, and exceptionally exclusive. ○ S1 - Campus-restricted, large scale DreamFes. They're open to the public, but require tickets to be bought beforehand. Only teachers and those of the producer class can submit requests for these. ○ S2 - Campus-restricted, large scale Dreamfes. They're also open to the public, but don't require tickets to be bought. Only teachers and those of the producer class can submit requests for these. ○ S3 - Campus-restricted, large scale DreamFes. It can be held freely and as many times as possible, and only require a unit leader or someone from the producer class to submit a request for it and have it pass through a teacher or the Student Council successfully. ○ A1 - Considered "rookie-level battles," these are low-level DreamFes that count towards student grades. These are usually requested by teachers or those of the producer class as well. v○ B1 - Unofficial DreamFes that can be held by anyone, anytime, anywhere. They're unapproved by the Academy, but the Student Council still oversees them somewhat... ○ DDD - A special competition that was held at the beginning of the year to decide who would participate in the SS-level Lives that occur during the rest of the year. Campus-restricted, but open to the public without any restriction at all. • There are also other opportunities to practice skills that don't count towards your participation grade or grades in general, such as at school festivals and competitions concerning your clubs.

More will be added as information comes up, including examples of each ranking! Thank you for reading, and let's do our best to get along. We're all in this together, for better or for worse... (Old members, please go ahead and introduce yourselves too! So that new people, when they join, will have some idea of who all's in here.)
Please post all Retrospec-related memory talk here. Be as thorough as you want to be, or as comfortable as you feel like being... While every little bit helps to understand each other and our situation as a whole, not everyone shares *everything*, and that's perfectly reasonable.
Any other talk, links, etc. should be posted here! Just for organization's sake... And so we don't spam the introductions and memory channels especially... Please be careful of the topics broached. If anything gets too personal, heated, or involving private affairs, please take it to DMs. ... Please do the same thing for anything that goes above what would be considered appropriate for children to read. 18+ talk will not be getting its own channel.
Ahaha... Welcome to chat, I guess. Um, recently, a couple of the members from the other chat dropped off, including Sena-senpai... Leonii did too... So I decided to combine both chats and start sort of fresh...? I think Sena-senpai would've appreciated it too. Especially with how I set everything up! ♪ At least, I hope so. Anyway, I guess that's that. Please read the pinned of each channel for information and stuff? And ummm Otherwise I think we're good... Fufu, please treat your mod kindly. ♪ If anyone has any suggestions for what else I could add, feel free to do that I guess? ... I'm not really good at this, Chitan opened our art club chat with scolding me and Izutan about something we did on the network. That chat isn't really like this one either honestly, so...
it's a little exciting to think we might have new members in our chat sometime soon, isn't it? ★ i'd like to see it! i saw someone from my memories as a 'projected example' last month, so it could happen...
anyway, introductions. i'm nazuna nito! almost everyone calls me nii-chan ♪ i'm a kindergarten teacher at recolle elementary, and i also help with re:VA and a few other things around town. if you need any help with anything, you can always rely on me! (。•̀ᴗ-)✧
in yumenosaki, my name was nazuna nito too. i was a third year as far as i can tell, and a member of the units "valkyrie" and "ra*bits". i think i was in the tennis club! and the broadcasting club!
since everyone else added people they knew, i have a few people that i knew as well that aren't on the app, or even here as far as i know. 'valkyrie' consisted of shu itsuki and mika kagehira. i'm not really sure about ra*bits, at least not yet, but i have a picture of all of them if anyone wants to see it. one of them was mitsuru, and he looked pretty young.
i also knew a wataru (some kind of magician), a kaoru (who i think may also be a third year), and aside from people in the chat, i think that's it! let's all get along together ♪
Flattery gets you nowhere, Nazuna... But thank you! ☆ Fufu, I appreciate it. If there's anything you need, let me know, okay?
[ a beat, um ... mmm... he should be more honest, probably. ]
pm/locked; Sort of. It isn't like they're disappeared, but obviously that kind of thing can happen? And... Honestly... Outside of Retrospec, of our past lives and memories, I didn't really have reason to talk to Sena-senpai. He's in Leonii's band, so that makes it a little easier too, but... It's still hard, I guess. I didn't think it would be this difficult. Otherwise, I guess I'm okay. Mostly. Sorry, this is really long. I don't really know how to feel. I'm happy Leonii's staying in the city though, and he seems to still want to make things up to me... By the way, I'm sort of mad at you for keeping it from me. About Leonii being here. But I won't hold it against you. It's just frustrating how many people knew he was lying to me.
i know. the same thing happened to me, with mikachin a few months ago. there was someone i really wanted to see here during that carnival, too, but he's already forgotten about me, and there's not a chance he'll remember. and...mizukichin is still mizukichin. i'm sure he'll still find a way to bully you, whether you have a chance to really associate with him or not. ;)
as for the second thing... it's okay. i kind of thought you would be. i didn't want to keep it from you. he finally told you about it, huh?
It's Suzu Kiryu. I'm not sure if I should be surprised to see so many familiar faces here or not. I'm a junior at Rec U, nursing major. I'm gonna start interning at the hospital in a few weeks. Kuro's my brother.
My past self's name is Suzu Kuromori, no matter how many times she denies it. "I'm" not directly related to Yumenosaki Academy or an idol. Even if my past self was in a band with the Light Music Club and performed in gigs and stuff, she's not an idol. It looks like I'm from a neighboring all-girls' high school called Kimisaki Academy.
I won't bother going into more details; it's not really relevant to you guys, so it's probably not interesting, and typing so much is a pain... And we're not sure when the internet will go sentient again and use any information against us.
But the reason I and some other guys think my past self are from the same world and city a everyone here is because I have memories of the following:
- Ruka Tsukinaga - Valkyrie - Mika Kagehira - "Oshi-san" (vaguely, all I remember is him scowling or sewing in a corner) - Anzu
The last one is kinda interesting... I remember being classmates with her, but apparently she transferred to your school at some point?
Anyway, I was invited here by Nazunii
I mean Nazuna
I'm not really sure if I should be here tbh. If not, I can like
We're not hazing Suzunee. But more importantly Was it really important to pm me this... Um, I'm good with anything, honestly. I'm not a picky eater, 33.
Do you have to treat me like a little kid...~? But I don't mind the praise... ♪ It wasn't that hard though, so I don't know if I deserve it.
[pm/locked] [ ghhh so many people doing this to him, is it really that big of deal (yeah it is) ]
I know. ... Thank you. Even if I never take you up on the offer, thank you. It's nothing personal I just find it really hard to figure out how to start and stuff like that
He didn't tell me. He came over to visit Baba before she passed away and to talk to our parents. They came home while we were with Baba, and the talk turned into more of an argument... Like you might expect. I ended up leaving, saying I was going to go back to Baba, but I Didn't really want to leave Leonii alone? So I sat by the door, and I overheard Leonii telling them about all of it.
[ he has this bad habit, honestly, of overhearing things he shouldn't. ]
... Leonii and I talked it out, don't worry. We're going to do better to be better together. We made a promise and everything. He's still holding to that too, off the app, I think. I think.
You went to school with Oneesama? Uwoah ♪ And you knew Leonii's past life little sister, too... He told me a little about her.
[ ... ]
As the mod of this chat, I say it's fine for you to be in here. You have relevant people in your memories and all, and it's nice to have someone like Suzunee around...
Fufu, the oujisama of this chat has decided to give his introduction...♪
Um, more seriously I'm Tsukasa Suzakura! I'm currently a senior at Recollé High, and I'm president of the Art Club! Co-president, actually. I'm best at watercolors... My parents both work at the university—Mom is an Asian Literature professor with a focus in Japanese in particular, and Dad is for Asian History—and I'm sorry if you've had them, since they're really strict teachers. I was homeschooled before this past January, so I'm really good at studying, and I even tutor university students sometimes, so... If you need any help, you can ask me. I'm an all-rounder.
My memories are... Uh, Tsukasa Suou there. Suou and Suzakura are read the same, incidentally. 朱桜! He's part of the unit "Knights," and he's a first year at Yumenosaki... Part of the Archery Club... Oh, and please don't be alarmed if anything with "Suou" shows up in the city. They're sort of Really wealthy? And sometimes Retrospec likes to capitalize on that. Thank you. I'm looking forward to getting along with everyone ♪
Please don't ruin me like this. Sena-senpai's not around to get mad at you anyway, and I don't think anyone else would really care... Well, maybe Nazuna would.
