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! Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Characters who have been in game for more than one month will find they can change their profile pictures; newcomers are locked into their first choice. At various points throughout the day users will be sent images of themselves from behind, regardless of where they are. There doesn't seem to be any way to catch whoever might be taking and sending these, however, especially since being alone in a room doesn't seem to be a deterrent.

You know, after the secret blabbing on my phone and being chased several city blocks by reporters, I'm not surprised.

If us being boring gets you taken off surveillance duty, then you should know today is laundry day and I'm spending an hour folding socks soon.

[In her "memories" she'd recalled the other girl she was seeing the life of stating she wanted to protect everyone's smiles.

But you, Jim?

She'll make an exception for yours.]

Also, I'm 17. Stop it. That's creepy.

[clear_eyes]

You clearly have the right idea Maya.

We'll defeat them through boredom.

[strongestheart]

After I'm done with with my socks I'm going to go touch up some paint on our yard's fence and watch it dry.

[clear_eyes]

Maybe afterwards we can tackle some particularly different math problems and watch a spelling bee.

... No, wait, those are legitimately fun...

[strongestheart]

No, they're not, but... hey. Keep at it.

[clear_eyes]

Maya.

I thought we understood each other by now.

[strongestheart]

I understand that stuff isn't fun.

[clear_eyes]

You get good grades. I thought we were on the same page here. D:

[strongestheart]

Getting good grades doesn't mean I have to LIKE it~

[clear_eyes]

Now THAT I don't understand.

[strongestheart]

Success is not necessarily a matter of enjoyment.

[Or so she was raised and taught.]

[clear_eyes]

... Well, at the risk of turning this into something overly serious, I think you have plenty to be proud of, Maya.

[strongestheart]

Um. Sure. Probably.

[Oh boy, is that a can of worms.]

[clear_eyes]

... Sorry. You just seemed bothered by this a bit more than usual. I thought I'd try to be encouraging.

[strongestheart]

Heh, sorry! This guy just got under my skin...

[Truth be told, Maya was like this a lot more before she met everyone, it's weird how people bring out the better sides of you.]

I guess I do have a tolerance, heh.

[clear_eyes]

It's okay. I totally understand that. Everyone has their limits. But joking about it at least can take the edge off, even if you feel like screaming on the inside sometimes.

[strongestheart]

Joking. Right.

[Who's joking?]

You're not wrong, though.

[clear_eyes]

It's actually something I use as a coping mechanism. Or... I've started to, anyway.

[strongestheart]

I'm torn between declaring I'm boring, and knowing I'm not. Although I need to study for finals soon, I guess that's boring enough. Important, but boring.

[strongestheart]

No, you're super not boring. But we can fix that.

Let's all just get a bunch of textbooks and study.

After I clean my house's toilets. I'm sure that'll be enthralling.

[rosettareflected]

Fix me not being boring? Or fix that I don't seem boring enough to not watch?

I'm game for a study session - we definitely don't want to mess up now, at the end of the road. It would be a horrible, horrible waste.
