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

I remember a morning cartoon that played on one of the 'rerun channels.' It was horribly silly, but all we ever saw of the villain was a metal glove and their cat, listening to them gravel away. "Next time!"

I feel like he is at that level somehow.

Why do bad guys always have cats anyway
Pets usually make people nicer
Or at least more empathetic

[true_noir]

I think because they're cunning predators and very self-reliant. So, a cat will always be a cat, where a dog really takes on traits of the owner?

Or maybe because it is sinister to send someone into the pit of laser-shooting piranhas while you stroke an adorable cat?

[onceandfuturemascot]

Save the cats honestly

[true_noir]

I do love them, so I'm not about to argue with that. We don't want cats maligned by their association with such villainy, do we?

[onceandfuturemascot]

Certainly not. They're far too noble and also amoral for that.

[true_noir]

I like that you recognize that they really are rather amoral. Good and evil are not concepts that a cat understands. They're a bit above the concept, are they not?

[onceandfuturemascot]

Cats were worshipped as gods in Ancient Egypt. They have never forgotten this.

[true_noir]

Feasts most fancy, and delicacies of nobility while they are venerated as objects of worship, entombed with kings. I think you are right. They walk as if they were royalty don't they?

[onceandfuturemascot]

Well we haven't changed any of the rest of that, except entombing them, and that's just because we don't execute peoples' whole households when they die anymore...

[true_noir]

I am inclined to think that is for the best. I'm certain that many siblings would agree. Still, we can give cats the respect that they are due easily enough.
