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.

speccing sounds wrong
and kinda dirty

also this is making you sound like 50 years old u know that right

[notyourutopian]

My internet persona is a 53 year old welsh woman so thank you.

It does sound kinda dirty though.
Oops?

[youraffection]

a lot of things suddenly make sense

u dont sound sad at all

[notyourutopian]

I tried to continue this by saying something clever and welsh-like.
But I don't remember anything about whales so
My ruse falls apart immediately.

You doubt my sincerity, Yosuke?

[youraffection]

you could have fooled me but you know that

its usually a safe bet

[notyourutopian]

Yeah...

We like you anyway though!

So how's it feel to be speccing away?

Don't care if it sounds dirty that's what I'm going with now.

[youraffection]

you should be careful ppl will talk!
uh but its okay i guess
its not that much different than any of the sm sites im on

[notyourutopian]

All publicity is good publicity?

Maybe that doesn't apply

This one seems to be exclusively local people, is the only difference I've found.
Which is somewhat weird?

[youraffection]

well they usually just beta test on a specific user group before putting stuff worldwide and stuff right?

[notyourutopian]

Yeah.
But that's typically in New Zealand, not random American cities.

Don't ask me why New Zealand I haven't a clue.

[youraffection]

i thought you were all about the welsh

[notyourutopian]

My not brand new and entirely real fascination with the welsh is a different thing entirely.

It's like
When companies think they have a 'hit' app, for some reason they always test it first in New Zealand.
So if you're here in the states and you want to try it you have to make a fake NZ app store account.
I have at least four of them.

[youraffection]

what
are you serious?

[notyourutopian]

Yes?
Google tests their location stuff down there and all the big companies test their games down there.

[youraffection]

oh shit
ok thats kind of cool but now i wanna go to nz

[notyourutopian]

You know it's gorgeous there right?
So many better reasons than just wanting to play with phone games before everyone else.

[youraffection]

well yea ive seen pics
there are a lot of places i wanna go tbh

[notyourutopian]

Me too.
When I lived in England we would take trips to the continent.
Now it's always just being here.
So I'd love to travel again.
It's always just a question of when would I ever have time.

[youraffection]

oh really no way
im sure youll have time after high school right?

[notyourutopian]

After high school is college.
My parents and I were talking about taking a trip in the summer though, back to England.
Something like a graduation present?
I don't know though.
I'm pretty sure we'll end up with so many other things to do.

[youraffection]

hey thats pretty cool!
how long has it been?

[notyourutopian]

Three years I guess?
We went to visit my aunt...I think summer of my freshman year.
Mom doesn't have to travel as much anymore and work always keeps her here now, you know?
