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.

Tatsuo Kihara It does. And you get enough things thrown out due to bad lab techniques and all of a sudden everything the lab has done ever could be called into question.

[judgementkazzy]

Kazuma Kiryu Sounds pretty serious. That hasn't happened to you, has it?

[thisloveisjustice]

Tatsuo Kihara Nope, and I plan to keep it that way. Working in a lab might be a little tedious at times, but I like that I can help the police solve crimes.

[judgementkazzy]

Kazuma Kiryu Yeah, that's gotta be pretty cool. At least you know it's for a good cause.

[thisloveisjustice]

Tatsuo Kihara It's pretty much what attracted me to the job in the first place.
Tatsuo Kihara What about you? What's your profession?

[judgementkazzy]

Kazuma Kiryu Oh, I'm in Real Estate.
Kazuma Kiryu We help people on a slightly smaller scale.

[thisloveisjustice]

Tatsuo Kihara Residential or commercial?

[judgementkazzy]

Kazuma Kiryu A little of both. I'm mostly on the residential side.

[thisloveisjustice]

Tatsuo Kihara What's that like?
I've never quite understood the appeal of a house. I've always lived in an apartment.

[judgementkazzy]

Kazuma Kiryu We manage some apartments, too. It's a very lucrative business.
Kazuma Kiryu But if you're thinking long-term, it's better to own than rent, otherwise you're just throwing away your money.
Kazuma Kiryu When you own a house or condo, the money you spend on financing is an investment down the line.
Kazuma Kiryu When you move and sell, you can turn a profit versus just paying your landlord indefinitely and never getting anything back.

[thisloveisjustice]

Tatsuo Kihara Ehhh I wasn't all that good at math or economics, so that doesn't really make sense to me.

[judgementkazzy]

Kazuma Kiryu Basically when you buy there's a chance to get your money back, with renting there isn't.
Kazuma Kiryu But as long as you're happy where you live, that's what's important.

[thisloveisjustice]

Tatsuo Kihara Oh, okay. That does sort of make sense.
Tatsuo Kihara That's true. Sometimes you get comfortable in a place and even though there might be better options,
it's much more convenient to stay.

[rofl talking about himself here]

[judgementkazzy]

Kazuma Kiryu Yeah, the market can be hard to bet on. After the economy tanked, people are more hesitant to put in an investment...
Kazuma Kiryu Oh, but I won't bore you with any more real estate talk.
Kazuma Kiryu I know what you mean, though. It's hard sometimes to tell myself I should try to get promoted when the work I'm doing now is pretty fair...
Kazuma Kiryu Of course, I hope my boss never hears me talk like that.

[thisloveisjustice]

Tatsuo Kihara Promotions. Some people are just hungry to climb and others are more content to just go with the flow. It's okay to be either and I think most employers understand that.
Tatsuo Kihara Unless you've got one of those bosses who either likes you or thinks you have 'potential' and doesn't want to see you 'waste yourself' in a lower position.

yeah chrome keeps doing that with the stupid linebreaks :T

[judgementkazzy]

Kazuma Kiryu Right now I don't think my boss cares either way... but I don't want to be stuck doing grunt work forever, either.
Kazuma Kiryu I have gotten that "potential" speech before though so maybe it's time I step it up.

bad chrome B|

[thisloveisjustice]

Tatsuo Kihara Yeah, if you keep doing grunt work, eventually it'll get monotonous and boring.

it even happens on mobile I'm so... mad...

[judgementkazzy]

Kazuma Kiryu Right. There's only so much I can take...
Kazuma Kiryu Did you do a lot of pencil pushing before you got to your position?

[thisloveisjustice]

Tatsuo Kihara Actually, the more I advance the more paperwork I end up with, because the type of evidence I handle now is more complex than what I handled when I first was hired.

[judgementkazzy]

Kazuma Kiryu Oh... you must like paperwork, then. At least I hope for your sake that you do.

[thisloveisjustice]

Tatsuo Kihara Not really.
Paperwork is my least favorite part of my job. But it's necessary. Everything else I get to do pretty much makes up for it though.
