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.

You might do well to better educate your family on internet security.

[ yes, he scrolled all the way past that sweet family photo up there just to post this. what a thoughtful guy ]

[puffing]

Probably.
Mistakes were made.

[ eternally groaning @ the prospect of someone (read: a lot of someone's) seeing him capable of smiling. he can't show that, though. ]

Jade influences her mom so of course they're going to poke around on the new shiny thing together.
They're going to get yelled at on their own time, don't worry.

[ ignore the fact that Bigby himself continues to use the app... ]

[judicatus]

Good to know.

[ not that he has any real opinions on how Bigby interacts with his family. he's a bit more concerned with how this is going to make the department look... oh yeah, and the security concerns too. right. ]

Likewise, it's good to know that I'm not the only one in the department who's been roped into this. You wouldn't happen to have any ideas as to who's responsible for this, would you?

[puffing]

Nope.
Feels like Retrospec just kind of sprouted out from the ground overnight.
Tried pulling their tax and employee records, copyrights, licensing...
They have all of that buried somewhere in hopes we don't find it.

I don't like it one damn bit.

[judicatus]

Color me shocked. But at the very least, I suppose we now have some foundation to build our suspicions upon.

Of course, discussing this on the network itself seems unwise.

[puffing]

They put an app on all of our phones and computers and whatever the hell else has an internet connection without any say from us.
They "friended" all of us automatically.
They know all of our names and has who knows what other shit on us.
Talking about this in person probably won't change much.

[judicatus]

All the more reason to watch our step.

[ still, he's got a good point. harumph ]

You'll be at the Founder's Day celebration, I presume?

[puffing]

I don't know.
Would be kind of funny to see you of all people trip and fall.

[ man that sounds mighty ominous but bigby honestly just wanted to see Gabranth lose his footing and trip every once and a while. would maybe humble him for a change, JEEZ ]

Being practically dragged to it.
Might volunteer as security just because of the weird things that have been going on as of late, though.

[judicatus]

[ nnnope, he's not gonna let bigby know just how much that gets under his skin. not even a little bit ]

Then I suppose our paths may well cross.

But I'm afraid you'll be disappointed if you're hoping to see me trip anytime soon.

[ ok so. maybe he did. just a little. auugh ]
