Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options.

Anyway, now that the copypaste part is out of the way! Jim here, requesting you guys make your secret meetings a little more exciting. It's not like you're not trying with the whole "let's meet off the network!" dealio, but I have some serious concerns. For one thing, no secret handshakes or phrases? Not even dramatic meeting locations? The trying rating is about half a star if that. And I'm almost bored to tears with the whole back and forth about what's going on. Not bored enough to give you a cheat sheet, but still. I can't get myself taken off surveillance duty, so at least try to make it a little more exciting!

You guys might like this wikihow. Later!

Apparently it gets onto your phone no matter what. Uninstalling won't work either.

But I think flowers are in? Flower prints? The women at work don't wear too much makeup, so I'm not sure, sorry.

why uninstall? it's fun!

ooooh I have some pretty flower dresses I can wear. what flowers do you like best? _へ__(‾◡◝ )>

The pictures are a little strange...

I like morning glories. And sunflowers.

I think I've seen weirder at some of my shows...

those are pretty. I don't have dresses with those on them but I have ones in colors for them! so I'd just need to have some in my hair.

Oh? What kind of shows do you do?

I bet that would look really nice. Definitely great for spring.

a lot end up sort of burlesque actually! （⌒▽⌒ゞ

would you like to see me in the dresses sometime? that way you can tell me if you like them!

Ohh! That's great. I bet you're popular.

[ Wow. He's talking to. A real star. How cool. ]

Sure, if you don't mind it. I don't have much of an eye for that stuff, to be honest.

people seem to like me so I must be doing something right!

[Then again when you do a great job passing for a girl you would be really popular as a drag star...]

it's okay! you just need an opinion. that's all that matters for this kind of thing.

That's always a good sign. Do you work downtown in Enprise?

[ Who knows, some people are into the more butch look. ]

Cool, then I'd be glad to help.

I work for wherever would like to have a lovely lady on their stage for a night! I'm not too picky.

yay! we can make a date of it and you can tell me if you like it or not and I'll buy the drinks!

A free agent, huh? That must get exciting. But you get to choose your own hours, huh?

Yeah, that sounds fun! [ This kinda feels like a catfishing scheme, Kaz... which of course means we're diving right into it. ] Where do you want to meet?

I do! I have lots of time so it's easy. (　＾∇＾)

[Translation: He's rich and still gets money from home so he just does what he wants. Also you are so luck Jirou's not the worst person ever, Kaz. Geez.]

hmmmmmm...maybe Yamazaki's Paris?

I'm a little jealous.

[ This kind of thing happens to him in canon, I can't make this up... Only over the phone because it was the 80s. ]

Ok, sounds good. I look like my icon, I'll be wearing a white blazer with an orange shirt. Are you going to be wearing anything in particular so I'll know it's you?

well now some of that time is for you so no need to be jealous!

[Oh you poor, poor thing.]

a white blazer with an orange shirt... oh I have just the thing! I'll wear this!

[He makes sure to send a picture of the dress he's talking about.]

Then we'll match!

I guess you're right :-)

[ Jirou... you're so good at this, damn. Have you considered a job in a host club. ]

Wow, that's a nice dress. Should I head over now?

[No one has offered so the thought has never crossed his mind.]

yes please! remember that drinks are on me!

[ He should definitely consider it. If Jirou told Kiryu to buy some expensive champagne right now, he'd totally do it. ]

Ok. I'll be there in a few minutes, then.

[ Dang, he lucked out. Also wanna switch to action? ]

[One never knows how the date will go!]

if I'm just a little late it's just because I'm making sure I'm beautiful for you!

[And it's action time. Well not that it's exciting on Jirou's end because he's putting makeup on and getting his hair done up to look super pretty for his date but damn does he look just like a girl when he shows up!]

[ Kaz is not 100% sure what to expect here, I mean, yes Jirou's icon looks effeminate? And the talk of dresses and flowers makes him sound like a girl? Let's be real, he's expecting a girl. But meeting people over the internet is always a coin-toss, and even if he's going on a hostess date or a one-night thing, that's totally fine with him. He fixes his hair and puts on cologne and what have you,and finds himself really pleasantly surprised when he finds Jirou waiting for him at Yamazaki's Paris.

He still approaches him with a shy smile, trying very hard not to hide his hands in his pockets. I mean, wow, he's pretty. ]

Jirou, right? We talked on Restrospec.

[ This app has some serious untapped potential as a dating app, guys. ]

[With hair twisted up and makeup just right, yep that could be a lady. Jirou certainly has a voice that can go either way which doesn't help either. Oh well at least he's a pretty date!

He smiles at the man and goes right over to take his arm.]

That's me. You can call me Juri for now though!

[He gives a giggle and then nods to the place.]

Ready to go eat and have some drinks, handsome?

[ Kaz nods, blushing slightly at the contact, wow!! Nicknames are cool. I mean, he uses one, too. ~~This is a different kind of "nickname," Kaz...~~ ]

Sure thing. You can just call me Kaz if you want.

[ He smiles. How is he this lucky?? Free drinks and a hot date? Retrospec can spy on him all he wants, he could get used to this. ]

Lead the way, Juri.

Ooooh. Kaz. I like that.

[As they get inside and are given a table, he asks for the drink menu and starts to look things over.]

Wine would be good. Oh or champagne. But maybe we could get that if we decide this was a good date.

[Sounds like a good deal right?]

Sounds good.

[ Honestly, he almost can't believe his hot date is paying, too. That's not usually how these things go, but he sure isn't complaining. ]

Order whatever you want. I'll have what you're having.

[He hums a little then calls over the waiter to order a bottle of red wine and a bottle of white. Whichever is the most expensive.]

There. Oh I should look at food too! Eating is important when you're drinking!

[At least he knows that much.]

[ Wow, buddy, keep spending like that and Kaz will start to feel bad. Then again "she" did promise... so it's probably fine? ]

Yeah, we'll regret it tomorrow if we don't.

[ Kaz gives the menu a look. He's not big on eating fancy or french, but he knows what a crepe is, at least. ]

What do you want to order?
