Hello, Recollé! Have you ever stepped in front of a mirror and went "man, I look good today"? Have you ever been constantly complimented on your appearance by your friends, family, and people on the streets? Or have you ever thought that you should get paid every time that you make someone swoon? Well, if any of those happened to you, then look no further! Sponsored by everyone's favourite social media company, Retrospec, Recollé will be hosting its Mr., Miss, and Crossdressing Retrospec™ Pageant! Sign yourself up or your friends* to show off your good looks! Don't think you're the modern day equivalent of Aphrodite? Don't worry because personalities can put up a good fight too! Let that inner beauty shine out! Feeling nervous about all the competition and afraid that your chances of winning are too low? Don't worry, we got your back! Because you can join multiple sections of the pageant! Think you can rock both a suit in the Mr. section and a cute skirt in the crossdressing section? Then sign up for both! A drop-dead gorgeous dress in the Miss section but a rugged biker look in the crossdressing section? Then go for it! There are absolutely no limitations on sign-ups! Just sign up quick because the event will be held one week from now on March 25th, so don't miss your chance of a lifetime! All winners will receive one chance to remember, but keep in mind, this event is open to the public, so don't let some random person take away your opportunity to remember something important! So what are you waiting for? Sign up today and have the world see you for how beautiful you really are! * Please make sure the person you are signing up really wants to go through with the event. Moderators of the pageant cannot check with everyone to see if they willingly signed up. Thank you.

[heiroglyphs]

Well I suppose this is one way to show this backwoods city just how beautiful I am.
Challenge accepted. :)

[tarotcards]

Disaster?

No, it'd be

✧ s p e c t a c u l a r ✧

[tarotcards]

I'm glad to hear it.

Blow everyone out of the water. Channel your inner competitive spirit.

[heiroglyphs]

You won't expect anything less from Vera Weisz.

[strawberrypunch]

[So much for not getting any memories of his own back.

This is vastly not his usual type of thing, but after that memory... Even though there's a sense of wariness, there's also a need to know more.

Just... what was that?]

Ill join too

[How hard could it be?]

[furtherforward]

"chance to remember"? so you're hosting this on Retrospec's behalf, are you? then what does a "chance to remember" entail?

[covenantal]

I'm ready, Souji.

[tokencanadian]

.... Seriously?

[trueend]

why are you posting stuff for retrospec

[tarotcards]

And what sections of the pageant should I sign up Miss Weisz for?

[tarotcards]

Really?

[ He really didn't expect Tatsuma to be the sort of person to join in on things like this. ]

[tarotcards]

I'm not privy to the specific details about the prize, but I'm speculating it has to do with the recent memories/hallucinations/visions that we've all been receiving.

[tarotcards]

Do you have your outfits picked out, Yu?

[tarotcards]

Seriously.

[true_noir]

What, precisely, do they mean "One chance to remember?

[Ok, they talked about this to some extent in person, but she still felt it needed to be said. Like hell she was signing herself up, but if she knew her luck with Retrospec, they would "accidentally" sign her up again, so she was going to have a decent dress just in case.]

[tarotcards]

They've chosen me to represent them for this particular event so I've been assigned the tasks of promoting the pageant while also hosting it.

[ Trust him, he isn't particularly keen with this, but he's doing it because he thinks it might bring them some information. ]

[tarotcards]

I would assume it's referring to these "memories" we've been experiencing lately, but I'm not entirely too sure.

[ Souji's going to pretend like they've didn't discuss any of this in person since the last thing he wants is for this to be recorded over the network and for Retrospec to know that there are discussions behind its back. ]

[trueend]

do you think its safe
dont want anything bad happening to you
because of them :(

[strawberrypunch]

[Was he perhaps tipped off by Tatsuma's utterly plain clothes?]

Yeah
I remembered something

[Can't really say he's uninvolved now.]

[furtherforward]

they wouldn't even tell their own rep, would they? very well. since I have the same hunch, I'm signing up myself, no matter how gross this whole thing is. I'm interested in the prize.

[korekara]

ur an embarrassment to society which is exactly why we're friends

ur in on this too, right

[catsudon]

One chance to remember. What is it we're remembering? Why is that a good lure? How is it more important than knowing or "remembering" who we are right now? Ugh, it's so stupidly frustrating.





And thank you.

[true_noir]

Which means that they are implying, or even saying, that they have the power to give us these 'visions' that we are experiencing. It is the closest to an admission I've seen.

So, a beauty pageant? I am not really the sort that does these things.

[Good news was that she wasn't going to push further on the first topic. She wasn't stupid, so focusing on sounding like she was interested because of the memories, that seemed smart enough.]

[tarotcards]

I hope you're not saying that you're not an embarrassment as well. Must I remind you of the tree incident?

Of course. Do you really expect me not to join?
