[recollecters]

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. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

Even so, I can't afford to drop my guard. You wouldn't believe how much people stand to gain out of ruining famous peoples' lives.

[notyourutopian]

Sure I would.
I go to high school.
It's the same thing on a smaller scale.

[heiroglyphs]

That's exactly why I was home schooled.

[notyourutopian]

Yes well.
Most people can't afford to do that.

Also it sounds pretty lonely.

[heiroglyphs]

It wasn't so bad. I had my tutors, at least.

[Yes, it was very lonely.]

[notyourutopian]

Teachers aren't exactly friends, even if they're just teaching you.

[heiroglyphs]

Conversation is conversation, sometimes.

[notyourutopian]

I suppose.
You have friends now, at least?

[heiroglyphs]

I have a close collection of associates, of course.

[That's a no.]

[notyourutopian]

Remember how I said your introduction sounded like a cover letter?

Well that just sounded like you're describing a board meeting.

[heiroglyphs]

Given my background, are you surprised?

[She's spent more of her childhood shaking hands with CEOs than playing with other kids. It's no wonder she can't relate to them.]

I do fine on my own.

[notyourutopian]

I'm not surprised, no.
It just seems sad.

I'm quite sure you do perfectly well.
But they hardly means you should have to.
