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. 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. As a reminder, everything besides uploading a profile picture and information was locked until this post. 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. Oddly, profile pictures still cannot be swapped out at this time, so hopefully you took a good one.

Jūbei Nankōbō shared a photo. February 1st near Recollé Animal Shelter

I'm not very good with social media... but it doesn't hurt to try this, I would suppose, despite the strangeness and insistant nature of it. I'm been taking plenty of photos recently. Winter is a very inspiring nature and it helps to capture some of that for later, don't you think? While I am here, I should mention the Animal Shelter; please consider adopting one of our lovely pets if you desire a companion! We have so many sweet cats, dogs and smaller darlings that need homes.

Akinobu Taira i was considering getting a dog, actually.
Akinobu Taira how much is this gonna set me back though.
Akinobu Taira might not be an immediate purchase depending.

[samuraisoul]

Jūbei Nankōbō The fees are not large, and in the case of animals who have been here for a while or have extra needs we might allow the pets to go for free.
Jūbei Nankōbō Do you have a preference for breed, if I may ask?

[notbunaga]

Akinobu Taira akita inus mostly
Akinobu Taira failing that id settle for a shiba
Akinobu Taira or a golden retriever if neither of those are available

Alice Penelope Drake I support everything you guys do for animals.
Alice Penelope Drake I want to pick up a cat myself but I can't afford the pet deposit where I'm living...

[samuraisoul]

Jūbei Nankōbō Thank you! It's a shame about the deposit... but if you have any free time, until then, perhaps you come to play with our cats. Volunteers for playtime are very helpful for socialisation.

Hitori Togusa I love the picture. My apartment has been feeling kind of empty lately. And I've got more time to take care of a dog now. Are you open around the festival?

[samuraisoul]

Jūbei Nankōbō Thank you! I only took it with my phone on a whim... but it works well enough.
Jūbei Nankōbō Wonderful; we are indeed! There are less staff on at any time as we've scheduled to allow everyone to get a chance to enjoy the festivities, but someone will be able to help during our usual opening hours. The animals need caring for at all times, after all.

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Of course. That's good to hear. I think I'm going to be on duty a lot, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to stop by for a few days. But definitely look for me soon. If you've got any friends who'll be happier in a smaller space, they'd be indoors most of the day.

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki That's a nice picture. You should post more of them.

[samuraisoul]

Jūbei Nankōbō Oh, you are very kind to say so. I could try sharing an older one, for now...

Ryoga Hibiki That one has a melancholy feel. As though it should be followed by an admonition.

[tokencanadian]

Victoria Annie Nichols oh. oh no
Victoria Annie Nichols I wish i could pick up an animal but I just don't have the time. or the money.

[samuraisoul]

Jūbei Nankōbō Please don't worry, friend, not everyone is able to. If you ever have any gaps in your schedule, though, feel free to come and play with the pets here. It's very good for them.

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki ohhhh what a nice picture! it feels warm despite the snow
Ryoji Mochizuki are your animals keeping warm? having fun playing outside?
Ryoji Mochizuki i plan on coming by and taking pictures of them someday if that's okay! it's been so busy lately!

[samuraisoul]

Jūbei Nankōbō You are very kind to say so, thank you.
Jūbei Nankōbō It varies; I can tell you that many of our dogs absolutely love playing in the snow! Most cats are staying warm inside. They have nice cosy places to curl up, as all cats love.
Jūbei Nankōbō Ah, of course, I'd love that, as I am sure my colleagues would. Photos of our darlings can only help find them homes.

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki good! that's what i want to capture-- just how sweet the animals are
Ryoji Mochizuki and how much more fun they'd have playing in a yard or curled up on someone's lap （*’∀’人）♥
Ryoji Mochizuki hey, what day of the week is not too busy?
Ryoji Mochizuki i could do a proper photo shoot
Ryoji Mochizuki sometime next week, hopefully a day when it's sunny out

Prompto Argentum wuohhh go jubei! this is a great idea!
Prompto Argentum definitely expected this from you
Prompto Argentum let's take advantage of this to give the shelter a good rep~

[samuraisoul]

Jūbei Nankōbō Thank you! It seemed wise... anything we can do to get the animals homes is worth it.
Jūbei Nankōbō I've already had many asking after some of our dogs.

Hibiki Kagawa A stunning shot. You have an excellent eye for composition.
Hibiki Kagawa I never had pets growing up, but we had whales and dolphins just off our shore. I'm sure you spoil your furry dependants. Let me know if you need volunteers.

[samuraisoul]

Jūbei Nankōbō Thank you, you are very kind.
Jūbei Nankōbō From your other stories I can imagine you swimming amongst them, Hibiki-san.
Jūbei Nankōbō And we can always use volunteers! Even just for playtime, it does all of them good to get socialised and experience lots of love.

[feminitis]

Sei Tominaga Wow!! That's an amazing picture.
Sei Tominaga I'd actually have to check and see if it's okay to have pets in my apartment...
Sei Tominaga But I wouldn't mind a dog or a cat.
Sei Tominaga Or both!
