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. Anyway, now that the copypaste part is out of the way! Jim here, requesting you guys make your secret meetings a little more exciting. It's not like you're not trying with the whole "let's meet off the network!" dealio, but I have some serious concerns. For one thing, no secret handshakes or phrases? Not even dramatic meeting locations? The trying rating is about half a star if that. And I'm almost bored to tears with the whole back and forth about what's going on. Not bored enough to give you a cheat sheet, but still. I can't get myself taken off surveillance duty, so at least try to make it a little more exciting! You guys might like this wikihow. Later!

No NPC response will be given. 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. Characters who have been in game for more than one month will find they can change their profile pictures; newcomers are locked into their first choice. At various points throughout the day users will be sent images of themselves from behind, regardless of where they are. There doesn't seem to be any way to catch whoever might be taking and sending these, however, especially since being alone in a room doesn't seem to be a deterrent.

Have you tried painting a wall that isn't attached to someone's business?
Like an underpass or some shit

[trappingheart]

great idea chief i'll just stick my art where absolutely no one will fucking see it, my dilemma is solved

[sotenbori]

Damn that's not what I said. Relax a minute.

There's gotta be a happy medium between pissing off hardass cops and not getting to do your art is what I'm trying to say.

[trappingheart]

the way i see it if i upset some people thats just the price you have to pay for art sometimes
did the guy who made the sphinx stop when they knocked the damn things nose off? nope
did the douchecanoe who knocked off david's toe with a hammer stop michelangelo? nuh uh
public outcry is all part of the reaction!!! its very important!!!

[sotenbori]

Upsetting people is one thing but getting busted for vandalism is another
They'd probably just let you off anyway but they'll paint over the whole thing before you know it
And then its gone forever
Who will see it then?

[trappingheart]

but doesn't the fact that it's impermanent just make you all the more eager to see it while its there??
its like how the circus only comes once a year and in different places
have you seen any of my work?? its not much but i think i'm getting better

[sotenbori]

You got a point
But then that makes the underpass option even better
You could leave a bunch of fucking clues to people on where to find it
Like geocaching or whatever
And then you get 'em all intrigued and they go looking
Because it's fucking exciting now
And then they find it and it's satisfying and they get to see some dope artwork

I might've -- send me a picture?

[trappingheart]

[ ...Woah. ]

Holy shit I never even thought of that but that's so awesome?!?!
Like some kind of street art scavenger hunt!!! holy crap that's a GREAT plan i totally have to steal that!! and the real art is the adventure they had oh my god you absolute MADMAN
here it isnt anything all that great but this was my most recent one in the park

[ The image attachment is a little more like a mural than it is a straight up painting on a building; it's kind of a wonder she managed to finish the thing, but the image is a field of red spider lilies under a moonlit night. The flowers are bleeding a bit due to the spray paint, and its a bit sloppy, but it does look more like art than mindless vandalism. ]

[sotenbori]

[yeah girl he's gonna support her!!]

Shit look at that
You're really good at it
And those flowers are super rad, what are they?

[trappingheart]

right? i thought they looked fucking cool i love the way the permanent red is so striking on the black
really catches the eye right? they're called spider lilies i thought they'd make for cool art because they're so damn ominous
glad you appreciate them at least :) good to see theres some goddamn taste around here

[sotenbori]

Red and black look so fucking good together. Especially the way you did it.
Ominous? Are they symbolic for death or something?

[trappingheart]

They can be! I did some research on them before I painted it and the real meaning is "never to meet again"
So there's like some overlap with it. Generally they're just a bad omen though

[sotenbori]

Ominous but beautiful
I like the aesthetic

[trappingheart]

its to be expected of the leader of the fallen angels gang!!! my beauty is almost as well-renowned as my secret technique: the devil's diving elbow drop

[sotenbori]

Fallen Angels, huh? I've never heard of you guys.

[probably because he's an adult and not 16]

This is your guys' thing? Art?

[trappingheart]

[ It's also probably because they're not real, but, sure, let's go with that-- ]

vandalism is the M.O. usually. not really into stealing or anything that doesn't draw attention. i like to be noticed

[sotenbori]

Sounds like the scavenger hunt thing is going to be good for you guys then

[ he will continue to take her seriously until proven otherwise honestly ]

[trappingheart]

its an amazing idea and honestly i have half a mind to make you an honorary member or at least our PR guy

[sotenbori]

Aw, thanks.
That's not really my scene but I'm happy to lend a hand when you need it.
