Don't bother the techs.

Seriously, don't. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but all I'm getting is that it's the equivalent of being hacked and someone who knows layer theory better than we do is out there screwing things up and tampering with the project.

I don't have a really good update for you guys, but bear with us. Please?

No, of course.

My boss has never been on the app, but I knew her forever before then. She's been really understanding of Retrospec stuff as a result . . . within how much she can be when she probably things I'm having an "act like a weirdo" phase.

Ha, must be nice. Management was one of the reasons I quit tech support. I knew they'd never understand if I had to disappear for a while for whatever reason.

Not like I had any connection to that place. They paid the bills. Tech guy was nice enough, but that's it. I'm doing way better at the host club and all I have to do is show up and look pretty.

Honestly, even if I'm frustrated she's still not on this app, I really am grateful for it!

But yes, I bet! You do seem like you have a natural talent for the skill requirements there!

Probably better for her if she's not on this app anyway. At least not right now.

So you're just down to flirt with whoever? Have you talked to Soleil? I think you two could really hit it off.

I don't agree, but maybe that's just how I am 🤔

Buuuut! I've met Soliel a few times. Not that deep though, I know Astin better! If you're asking if I'm down . . . Well, Mostly! I do think I know boundaries when they're presented (hence our meeting!)

And that's fine. Making our own choices is kind of the point I'm driving at here.

Yeah, I appreciate that you're respecting boundaries. Maybe you should hang out with Sol more. Feel like she could use some reminding on what those are.

To me, it seems like everyone just might as well be on here, if they're going to go on about how people not on this app have their souls out of alignment or whatever.

But oh no! Is that really a problem for her?

It'd definitely make a lot of stuff easier at first. Don't know if a lot of the people I know could handle the stuff Retrospec throws at us, though.

I don't think it's as big a deal as I make it sound, but I don't know. She might just be really bad at keeping secrets.

I'm pretty sure people can handle it. It's discovering "themselves," right? It's safer for them in the end . . .

Or well, I can't help but think that!

That's not good though!

Maybe you just know better people than I do.

So far it's only been one thing and it was more or less my fault. Maybe I'm totally off base. I don't know. She's probably fine.

Well as a notorious flirt, I can say it's definitely possible to come on too strong.

As someone who listened to Soleil break shit on purpose so she could call tech support and hear my voice, I know.

That sounds more desperate thirst than flirt.

They're the same thing if you're bad enough at it.

Maybe she's better in person.

Oh ouch...

Poor Soliel...

Still, she's my partner's sister, so I guess I should probably be nicer to her. Maybe she could learn something from you.

Maybe... but now I'm worried she would hurt my cred!

Your... flirting cred.

Dating cred more so

Is that a fucking thing? Don't tell me that's actually a thing.

Maybe about 25% a thing I'd say

Christ, of course it is. Welp, Rose and Astin took some pretty big hits because of me, if you're keeping track on some kind of relationship wall or whatever.

That's probably selling yourself too short!

Do you mean Rose Geteilt ?

There any other Roses around here I should know about?

There's at least one other one on the app, or at least there used to be. I saw her name on these big public posts now and again. Plus, I'm sure there's plenty more in the city itself.
