Cleo Ritter
5/24 near Recolle University
Good afternoon. For those who don't know me, my name is Cleo Ritter, and I am a rather recent addition to this Retrospec community. I have some questions, to those of you who have received the strange visions after being made a part of this. Specifically, if you're willing, I'd like to hear about those visions. I thought if we collaborate and make a list of what kinds of visions each person receives, we might be able to find a pattern as to who gets what, and perhaps piece together a more complete understanding of what is going on here. Thank you in advance for being willing to share this, and I hope this will prove useful.

I wonder about that? The steel city is why I can't call it medieval. I couldn't see much, but from what I could see, everything was made of steel. The ground, the buildings, everything. And it was so high above the ocean. I can only think it must have been flying, though I am hoping a more logical explanation exists.

...I'd say that's weird but I don't have any room to speak of. Maybe it's one of those mishmash settings like some video games. Floating islands're a mainstay of video games, too.

[Her family makes video games, she's gonna use that as a reference point, okay.]

... Are they? I've never played any.

Okay, you know my name?

[It's in her screenname after all.]

My parents own ÉcarlateSoft. They make a bunch of video games. So I end up exposed to a lot of them, though for me it's more of a side hobby than a primary one. Those games can get pretty weird, too.

I see. I apologize, I've never heard of that company until now.

[don't feel bad, nina, they don't make motorcycle stuff or workout equipment, so cleo just doesn't care enough.]

Do video games often involve inhuman people?

You must really not care about video games at all. It's big in that business. Well, video games aren't for everyone.

[She isn't really bothered.]

Anyways inhuman people're pretty common though usually they aren't the main character. But there're some games with nonhuman main characters.

I do not. Sitting still for that long to play a game would drive me insane. Thank you for the information, though.

So you're an active sort, then. What do you do for hobbies?

Work out? I take karate lessons from Tatsuo, and I have a gym membership. Running, or weight lifting, or things like that. I suppose study for my classes doesn't count as a hobby.

[Does she even have an actual hobby?]

I exercise, though mostly to keep myself slim. Have to worry about that sort of thing when you're a model.

[what's a hobby. sounds fake.]

You're a model?

That's right, and I've been in some commercials, too. Still trying to break into television or movie acting, though.

I see. Is acting your goal, then? I confess I don't know much about it, but I wish you luck with it.

I like modelling, but I'd like to do some more acting, too. What about you? What's your goal?

I aim to join the police. Currently I am studying law and ethics at university with a job shadow program at the police department. Nothing as glamorous as yours.

[Oh, a would-be police officer. They'd mostly been nice to her, but she'd gotten a very serious talking to after that incident.]

Well, police're very important. There'd be way more of a mess without them.
Glamour isn't everything.

[Honestly, she can't see why people want to work in jobs like that, but good for them. All the better to enable her lifestyle.]

[Cleo is, of course, totally oblivious to all of that.]

Well-said. I don't think glamour suits me nearly as well as it does you, but that's all right. All I wish for is to help people.

Yeah. I give to charities and do some volunteer work. Everyone should do what they can.

[Mostly because it makes her look good. Her heart isn't really in it.]

[... yeah, she's falling for it 100%.]

That's rather impressive. You're quite a good person.

Thank you. You're a good person too.

You give me too much credit this quickly. But thank you.

You're one to speak.
Given how you was the one to call me a good person first.

You seem to have done more to earn it, at least. Modeling doesn't seem like a job that needs to help others, and yet you are doing so anyway.

Let's just jump straight to the point where we admit we're both great people or something. I don't feel like arguing about this.
