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.

!!!!!!! uh oh, sorry dad!!

to anyone reading this i made all that up!!!! its a total lie!!!!!!

okay dad :) do you want anything?

[batches]

Sorry, kiddo, but it's too late. Looks like we're going to have to take you in and ask you some questions on who your source is.

I'm good, but if they got coffee then I'll grab myself a cup.

[ fact: frank drinks an insane amount of coffee. he practically lives on it ]

[ceded]

oh no!!!!! i know my rights, i'll call a lawyer!! hehe

i'll get it for you! :) see you soon dad

[ she knows. which is why she also knows how he takes his coffee, so she will get it ready for him, okay ]

[batches]

Tough guys don't answer to lawyers.

[ Especially lawyers named Matt Murdock. ]

[ But shortly after Frank sends off that text, he and Jellybean arrives at the convenience store that Aster mentioned. He ties Jellybean's leash to a pole, telling her to wait, before he enters the store. He probably finds her easy enough or so he hopes so?? Don't go hiding behind shelves or something now. ]

[ceded]

[ well, is he ready for HER to find HIM??

because three seconds after he walks in he'll get pounced on by one (1) daughter, throwing her arms around him in a hug. ]

Hi dad!

[ She'll step back, smiling sheepishly. ] See? I'm okay. Sorry I worried you. Oh, but your coffee's on the counter! [ folds her hands behind her back, rocking on her heels. ] It's already all paid for, along with the snacks I wanted. [ Holds up a hand to show off a bag dangling on her wrist with a little grin. ]

[batches]

[ she's so stealthy that it's like she almost doesn't exist hahaha ba-dum tish ]

Hey, princess. [ He smiles and pats her on the head before she pulls apart. ] Thanks for the coffee.

Those are enough to last you a few days?

[ In case this doesn't blow over, but he doesn't say that out loud. No need to freak her out some more. ]

[ceded]

[ blinks up at him for a moment. honestly, the implication doesn't miss her. after a second's thought, she nods decisively. ]

Mhm. I'll be fine. Still, should we grab a few other groceries while we're here?

[ A convenience store won't have much, but they can get a few things. ]

[batches]

[ He takes a second to think back to their fridge and pantry back home. Hm, well, guess it wouldn't hurt to stock up a little more on things. Save some time when running to a grocery store later. ]

Sure, go grab some things. Especially if that Hiro friend of yours comes over. Not that he stays for dinner but get him some snacks.

[ceded]

Okay dad!

[ A pause, and: ]

You should be nicer to him, you know. [ with gentle, teasing reproach. she knows this problem is. at least 50% hiro's. ]

[batches]

[ He absolutely knows that he's a little rough with Hiro (through intense staring and being a gruff dad) and honestly, it's a little funny to watch the kid squirm, but Frank's just being his normal self. Not his fault that he's all big and scary. ]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[ Translation: I absolutely know. ]
