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!

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.

OTA/Overflow + New Prompt
Alright, this is getting ridiculous...
First, the videos, now the photos. I did already say I'm aware there is no way to unsubscribe them, but it's starting to get uncomfortable with the ones from my apartment and office alone.
Not only that, I also noticed you are starting to take photos of young users in here.
I don't know why or how, but please, stop this. You're already scaring them.
As for the new users in here, I would like to say welcome, but I doubt you're having fun in this app as with other users in here...
Ryoji/Action
[Even if Ryoji haven't finished his sentence, he can guess what he is trying to saying as he is also can't wait for his summer vacation from his job as well.
And just as he offers his hand to Modeste after he introduced himself, the dragon just put her snout over it and motions it to just let him pet her.]
Don't worry. That's just her way of saying hello.
no subject
[ "Gentle" is the word that floats through Ryoji's mind as he places a hand on Modeste's snout, glad that Augustine had reassured him of her gentle temperament because then he can relax, giving her a few pets and marveling at her warmth— it's the warmth of a living creature. ]
Where did you meet her?
no subject
As for Augustine, he just sighs in relief that Ryoji is managing to befriend her without any problems.]
To be honest, I just got her from a Retrospec package a month ago, namely inside this ball.
[He then shows the said red and white capsule ball to Ryoji while not mentioning what it really is, thinking that telling him it's a Poke Ball would give him some confused stares.]
no subject
Turning away from Modeste, he looks down at the Pokéball, and that very, very tempting button right on front. That he reaches out to poke right in the center of and—
—yelps when the capsule pops open. ]
no subject
Don't worry, as long Modeste is outside the ball, it just pops open.
And it may be hard to believe, but it did store Modeste inside. I don't know how that works, but it just turns her into energy for it to do so.
[He hopes Ryoji might understand what he's trying to say. Because he doesn't like to do another demonstration since the dragon might be more annoyed than ever.]
no subject
What more can you tell me about her? Her favorite food, or... what she likes to do?
[ He's trying to relate Modeste to a dog or some other pet who he can get to know better by knowing what their favorite treats are or what games they like to play, but it's hard when the creature in question looks like a bipedal shark. ]
no subject
Other than her fondness on some desserts that my friend usually brings, she does like it when I pet her snout sometimes.
[He even shows it to Ryoji as he strokes his dragon's snout while she growls out of delight of her owner's touch.]
no subject
[ Fondness for desserts makes Ryoji smile, because he can relate to that and it makes the creature very real to him, more so than before when she was just... well, he's not sure what to call her. The end of her tail fans out much like a shark's, and her arms too extend out to look like fins. ]
Can she swim?
no subject
That I don't know about. I would like to let her swim in the pool or beach, but I'm worried regarding the other swimmers seeing her...
[Not to mention her similarities to a shark might scare them off if he does so.]
no subject
You said she fits into that ball?
[ Ryoji gestures to the Pokéball, unsure of how it works, but if it does, that makes transport easy without scaring people on the road if Augustine takes her for a drive. ]
If you use that to carry her, there's always further out in the ocean if you rent a small boat. I've gone out there once, and there aren't very many swimmers so far away from shore.
no subject
Though once Ryoji explained this, the dragon just stares at the young man in confusion while worried about his suggestion.]
That might be a good plan, but judging by her reaction, I don't know if she's up to it.
no subject
Is she worried about something? [ He turns to Modeste now, touching a hand to his chest. ] You'll be safe; Professor Sauveterre won't let anything happen to you. I can swim too, and I can be there if it makes feel safer.
no subject
He's right. I'll be here in case anything should go wrong.
If you like, we should try at the shallow waters first. That way, you should have no worries in the water.
[Her owner's reassurance to her is enough for her to ease her worries as she growls in approval before she rubs her snout against the professor's chest.]
no subject
[ It looks like it, but it's best to confirm anyways, as it looks like Augustine and Modeste have a better understanding of each other than Ryoji could ever claim to have. It's like with a dog, he thinks, where the animal is able to understand human speech, but it's much more difficult the other way around. ]
no subject
Now the big problem now is to find a way to let her swim in the shallow waters without being seen.
[Not to mention that considering that it's almost summer, there will be a low chance for them to find a private beach or boat to borrow.]
no subject
[ Nobody goes swimming at three in the morning... it'll be fine... ]
All we have to do is wait for a clear night and calm waters, and the moon will shine brightly enough that you can teach her.
BTW, IC-wise in this thread, tomorrow is the event, so...
[He is okay about tonight/tomorrow morning, but he may worry about his lectures that he will give out tomorrow.]
no subject
[ Ryoji only works part time, and while he works an evening shift, he can get out before midnight, so he shrugs now, open to whatever time Augustine suggests. ]
