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. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

[From here!]

Oh, it's really concerning! I didn't want to come out of the house for days!

But, like. It's just an example of the fact that it seems like there's nothing we can ACTUALLY do to escape these people.

Which is, yeah. PRETTY TERRIFYING, ACTUALLY.

[flexer]

I guess that's understandable, but it'd probably just make you feel more anxious if they manage to get pictures of us in our rooms.
So I wouldn't advice doing that.

[strongestheart]

Too late, this is close enough.

[flexer]

............

Hopefully I didn't jinx it and just happens. More.

[strongestheart]

Given the secret spreading that they did before,
I'm not sure if this is "more" or just "business as usual" at this point.

[flexer]

Probably just business.
I mean this whole thing is a business, isn't it?

[strongestheart]

Supposedly!

Dunno how they monetize, though.

No ads, they haven't stolen my money yet...

[flexer]

Maybe they're just waiting for when you make a large transaction and then they sneak around and take every dime you have.
But if that was their motive they probably would have done it already.

[strongestheart]

Proooooooooobably.

Still, seems like there'd be easier ways to steal people's money, so it's probably not that anyway.

[flexer]

I mean considering there's plenty of places being breached by hackers as we speak, yeah.
But that leaves just more questions than answers.
I doubt they'll be answered anyway so I'm just not gonna bother, I don't feel like having a headache tonight.

If you get nervous again try eating something with avocados. The vitamin B helps relieve stress.

[strongestheart]

"More questions than answers" is kind of par for the course, sadly.

That's... probably smart! We're not figuring much out until we run into some sorta breakthrough, it seems, anyway.

...

Huh. I hadn't thought about that! I'll give it a shot.

[Cue fresh guacamole dip being at Maya's house round the clock from now on.]

[flexer]

I mean if I hear anything useful I'll speak up but for the mean time I've got more problems than a weird app that can't get deleted.

Yeah there's tons of different types of food that help.
If you cook make sure all your stuff is fresh, and be careful with avocados since they can't be left out for long.

[strongestheart]

That's probably not the worst attitude. I kind of stressed myself out WAY too much about this stuff in the first couple months - I definitely don't recommend it.

But I always make sure to cook everything as fresh as possible! I just didn't realize they could have those benefits!

[flexer]

It's good to research the benefits you receive with some foods, and to make sure that whatever you add with it won't counter with the flavor.
Do you cook for fun?

[strongestheart]

Oh, yeah! I love cooking, but I'm still learning about that sorta thing, y'know?

That just makes me want to look even deeper at my recipes.

[flexer]

I work at a restaurant.

[ That's... vague. Try harder, Sousuke. ]

If you need help with anything you can come ask me, I guess. But a fair warning that I don't know everything so sometimes searching up on the internet will be your best bet.
Sometimes.

[strongestheart]

Oh, awesome!

Really, any extra help is always appreciated! And what I can't get from advice or looking it up, that just leaves me room to experiment!

[flexer]

Well that's not wrong.

[ That sort of enthusiasm is contagious, and a little cute. ]

Yeah, feel free to just contact me or come over to the restaurant if you ever need any help. I'm always there if I'm not at home.

[strongestheart]

Thank you! I'll definitely keep it in mind for the future!
