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! Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated 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. 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.

Hey, I think we did a pretty good job for our first time. We aren't so bad at this.

[daemonized]

Not terrible at all. I daresay it's a delight for others to read, as well.

[no???]

And now we know that Janet did indeed say yes. How romantic. Though one wonders what trials and tribulations they might still yet face.

define "delight"

[the lack of interruptions from the peanut gallery up until now is both a travesty, and a testament to just how hard it was to look away from that... whatever that was.]

[daemonized]

Thrilling entertainment. The sort of drama that keeps you at the edge of your seat, clamoring for more.

I hope this is not a prelude to criticism, Arlene.

[twelfthspark]

And what if it is, professor? 😜

[daemonized]

Then my heart will be broken, of course. You know how sensitive of a soul I am.

[twelfthspark]

Do I? I always heard lawyers had to trade in their heart when they finished law school.

[daemonized]

Oh, some do. But some prefer to keep their hearts, or whatever is left of them, after all is said and done.

I was one of those rare souls, you see.

[twelfthspark]

So sentimental~ It didn't get in the way of your job? Or maybe that's why you're slumming it with the college kids now.

[daemonized]

I made it a point to not lose my sentimentality. Otherwise, I may just turn into the stereotypical, cold-hearted lawyer that cares for little more than just winning the most prominent cases brought to them.

All in moderation, of course. Too much empathy and the job becomes impossible. Human nature rears its ugly head prominently in law.

[twelfthspark]

Soooooo yeah, in other words that's why you're slumming it with the college kids now.

[Arlene please stop putting words in other people's mouths]

But *did* you win?

[daemonized]

[Ha, well. He'll certainly not bother to take the time to correct her.]

Do you even have to ask, honestly?

[twelfthspark]

Hey, wouldn't want to assume.

[Never mind that she was just doing that...]

Guess that means it didn't get in the way *that* much. Hmm, wonder what the other lawyers get out of ditching it then.

[daemonized]

A gaping hole in one's chest cavity? One wonders.

[twelfthspark]

If that giant Dante and I remembered ever shows up for real, we'll have to send it to law school. It's already halfway there.

[daemonized]

Yes, I remember the picture he sent me. A hole in the shape of a heart, was it?

[twelfthspark]

The Hot Topic goth look, yeah.

[sotenbori]

Hey, if you can't appreciate fucking art.

[twelfthspark]

I'd put it somewhere between "campus improv club" and "that guy who literally got a blank canvas into a museum" on the art scale. Figure out for yourself if that's appreciation~

[sotenbori]

Hey, blank canvas in a museum guy is a genius. Like dude who sold trash as art for a shitton of money.

parks here because I'm lazy and don't have a toplevel to move to

[twelfthspark]

Sure, it's slick salesmanship and I can respect that but is it *art*?

i gotchu
