retrospec | fourth evocation ✧ kikuri-hime ✧ backdated to may 17th

May 17th near Recollé Volunteer Association Offices
Hi everyone! I have a lot to talk about today, bear with me for a bit!

First things first! I noticed that a lot of people were asking around the app for services like doctors and self-defense teachers-- it's easy enough to give out the names of the ones we know, but I thought why not put them someplace easily accessible for everyone? So I wanted to ask people to offer up some contact information for a directory of Retrospeccers. Now that we're a decent sized group of people, we shouldn't hesitate to rely on each other for anything. We're on this crazy maze of Retrospec life together. It's voluntary, of course, so no complaining to me about how Janet and Jim might see your info! 95% sure they already know what I'm asking for anyways, okay.

Fill out the little form below and I'll make a spreadsheet for us. To all our student Retrospeccers, feel free to chime in as a part timer for your work. Oh, and if you're really good at your hobby or you've suddenly remembered how to do something really well, you can put that here too.

Notes:

(I hope this will also help us keep track of the Retrospeccers who turn back to normal citizens. Eventually I'd like to compile a general list of things all Retrospeccers have experienced, too...but that's a project for another day.)

EDIT: I'm going to make a separate section for students! Again, this is entirely voluntary but I would really appreciate it if you could fill it out so we know who is on this app.

Name:
School:
Year:

Okay, that's all the serious stuff. You don't have to keep reading, but if you're going to keep reading: look at this guy!

His name is Terra and he's one of our volunteers at the Recollé Volunteer Association, aka ReVA. (Which is recruiting for summer community events, by the way~! High schoolers, get some volunteer hours under your belt for those college scholarships!)

Why am I showing you his picture? Because the Spring Fair is this weekend and Terra will be at the service auction representing ReVA! He's a big strong guy so for the duration of his time with you, he can help with all the manual labor you need done before summer starts. House chores, no problem. Moving stuff in your store or warehouse? Got you covered, his arms were made for lifting. He lifted a person sitting in a chair once! And yard work? He's not known as the resident Terraformer for nothing!

Okay that last one was a lie, but he's still really good with garden stuff. That and I think Terraformer is a great nickname for him (๑ゝڡ◕๑)

He also makes drinks so if you're feeling like you need some liquid courage to deal with all the stuff Retrospec is throwing at you, he can help you with that too.

AND THEN ONE MORE THING. If you've read this far, thank you for sticking with me until the end (シ_ _)シ The Dreadful Women's Adventure Club event is next weekend on the 27th! Professor Wolf (or Elizabeth Wolf to people who don't have her as a professor, haha) founded the Recollé chapter and this month's event is a trip to a 1920s speakeasy themed escape room, organized by yours truly! As the name implies, it's only open to women, aged 20 and up, and it's a club for us to gather and try new things together. If you'd like to sign up or ask for more info, send a message to Professor Wolf at xxx@gmail.com, and drop a line in this post to let me know you're coming!

Whew that was a lot. I have to get back to event planning now, thanks for reading, everyone! (✩´꒳`✩)

[She had actually read everything, and was about to post up a business info for Enchanted Blossoms and the like, but then she read that last bit, and her eyes popped.]

Mais non! You are not a dreadful woman! What is the meaning of this, Minako? And why is it that it has such a frightful name?

Edited 2017-05-18 03:44 (UTC)

hahaha don't worry, Chloe, it's full of really nice women, nobody is dreadful at all!!

the name is just something to point out the history of the club, I think! How women used to be thought of as dreadful if they weren't the typical housewife? I'd have to look it up again

Oh, ah, I think I see? Yes, the doting housewife is a certain stereotype people have of what a woman 'ought to be' is it not? So, then, you are a group of the 'not so typical?' I like this, much more than calling you dreadful.

I do hope the chapter is still accepting members in a couple years.

I think so too~! Though I have to admit I have my dreadful days (。-ω-)ﾉ

I hope so too! It's too bad younger people can't join but I can understand wanting to keep it a LITTLE bit exclusive

especially since we seem to like drinking a bit during the events hehe

Even with your spear, I find that difficult to believe. You're sweet even when you're stabbing giant bugs.

I do actually understand as well, even if I'm a touch jealous. Still, I will be old enough one day soon.

[Pffft, drinking. She already did that, shhh.]

hehe you haven't seen me working behind the scenes at an event then

STRESS CITY

yes and in the meantime if you ever want to hang out to do the things DWAC has done I would love to go with you

except let's avoid the shooting range, yeah?

We can definitely do something together, and definitely not use the gun range. Though, I just thought of something.

I didn't know that you lived with Lucy. How long have you been living in the same place?

mmmm about a year? A little bit less than a year?

we have one other roommate too, Freya

Freya too? She's fun. You actually have quite an eclectic little collection there. But I'm glad that Lucy is with good people. She seems to have had a tough time of it.

sometimes I like to imagine that our lives are a sitcom, that's how many shenanigans we get into even with our wildly different schedules haha

yeah, I've talked with Lucy a bit about that. I'm hoping to help her open up little by little!

I would like to as well, but I have to be patient. She doesn't open up easily, not at all, and I don't feel right asking too much.

And I could see the sitcom being funny at least. A lot of very different personalities. Freya getting you two into trouble all the time.

we'll get there eventually! And she will too, at her own pace

haha sometimes it feels like me and Lucy are the ones bringing home trouble though! Me with my weapons and Korochan, and Lucy with her grandfather clock...

So, she's kept the clock. Does it even work at all? I don't think it was working when I last saw it.

[Which may or may not have been while she was pulling it out of a dumpster with Lucy. Shhh.]

it started working right after she set it up in the hallway

it was kind of creepy but now it's a nice addition to the apartment so I can't complain!

Did it now? That's eerie, but at the same time something she said about it does not make me too surprised. So, I think I know why it did, though not so much 'how' it did.

It's like my cloak.

ohhhhh

yeah that would explain a lot then

Why we found it, and why it was so important to get it out of that dumpster. Why she kept it around, why it started again oddly. Yes, to all of that.

Which is worrisome in a way, but it's a clock. What's the worst that it could do?

(OOC: Quick, someone app the clock king.)

you say that but I feel like asking how things can be worse is inviting trouble

At this point, I am convinced that they do not need the excuse of saying that to make it worse. If they will, they will. Still, perhaps best not to tempt fate too much.

yeaaaah I have terrible luck as it is, I don't need the odds stacked against me even more

What makes you say that? You always seem to have everything together, more than me really. I don't think you have bad luck at all.

having my stuff together and being lucky aren't mutually inclusive...

I suppose not. That might just make you very good at reacting to what gets thrown at you, might it not? Ah well, I still say you are lucky. You met me, after all!

[No, she didn't type that with a straight face.]

I did!

hopefully you don't think I'm a stalker anymore LOL

I had almost forgotten that conversation, my little stalker. No, no I don't, though I do like to think we've had quite a bit of fun figuring each other out. Now, whatever will we do with ourselves next?
