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!

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.

Are you coming on to me
godcards: (13.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-05-04 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
do you


even know what that means

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-05-04 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
i'm... coming to be your friend...?
godcards: (05.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-05-04 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
That is not what it means.

You shouldn't agree so easily...

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-05-04 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
i thought maybe you'd be upset if i said no
godcards: (05.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-05-05 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I actually would have preferred it.

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-05-06 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
how come you don't like people expressing their love for you?
godcards: (02.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-05-06 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
That's not love.

That's disingenuous.

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-05-06 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
:(
my love isn't disingenuous
godcards: (05.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-05-06 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Shut up.

You don't even know me.

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-05-06 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
i can get to know you, if you let me
and i can get to love you more, if you let me
godcards: (05.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-05-06 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
That's not happening.
First of all, you can't possibly be using that word when you're referring to someone you don't know.
Second, I find it's in my best interest to not let people "get to know me." Since I expect you to ask why... I'm not interested in personal relationships.

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-05-06 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
i can use it, because i know *some* things about you, and that's enough
and your why prompts another why
godcards: (01.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-05-06 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
No, it is not.
And I've never seen the point nor benefited from them. They're more trouble than they're worth.

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-05-06 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
friends help each other though? benefit is largely what they are, to everyone involved. what sort of trouble do you anticipate?
godcards: (13.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-05-06 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
That has not been my experience.
Dealing with people is a hassle. I prefer to focus my time and energy on literally anything else.

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-05-06 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
and how many friends has your experience involved? you can't draw conclusions without a large enough trial
there are agreeable people out there who aren't a hassle to work with. i think you just need to find somebody compatible
godcards: (01.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-05-06 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
There is nobody compatible.
It has been this way for a long time. I think I know better at this point what so-called friendships entail. Which is partially why I choose not to get involved. It's not just a matter of others being 'agreeable,' though that can mean a lot of different things... I'm sure plenty would consider you agreeable, but we're debating now, aren't we?

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-05-06 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
the world population numbers in the billions. you can't know that there's nobody, and you can't know the future either. you're going to keep living, Malik, you're going to keep meeting people and getting to know them and the possibility of friendship will be there when you're ready

anyways, we're not debating, we're just talking, and learning about each other, like what friends do
godcards: (01.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-05-06 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Talking or debating, I'm disagreeing with you. I told you, I'm not interested in such relationships, regardless of how many people there are on this planet.

We aren't friends, either.

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-05-06 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
like friends? maybe we're getting there? friendship could be a process too-- there isn't always a concrete moment where we cross the threshold into friendship
godcards: (13.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-05-06 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
No. Give it up. I don't have friends and I'm not making an exception for you.

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-05-06 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
i'm pretty stubborn, you know
making an exception might be easier
godcards: (03.)

[personal profile] godcards 2017-05-06 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
So am I.
Consider it a challenge. I don't give up easily.
