Hello Users, For those of you who are new: 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. 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. For all, new and old: Please be advised that should you go above and beyond the call of duty for Mr. Halloway's little game in the coming days, there may be a reward granted or information given. 100% completion would be the goal for that, should you have an interest. If you have no interest in the matter, please feel free to carry on as usual. R&D will not be handling further communiques for this month, or possibly the next few months. This should not, of course, have any impact on your usage of Retrospec™. The first milestone for the second of the colors lost has been met, and accordingly we have diverted resources to fix what could be fixed. R&D has alerted me that a bigger loss may occur in the near future, and I would advise you to be careful, though I am afraid neither they nor I can be much more detailed than that. Finally, I would like to extend congratulations to those of you who have now reached your sixth month. We hope you will continue to accept our assistance in these trying times. Thank you for your patience, Janet Wiseman Human Resources Retrspec Incorporated As of this post green fruits and flowers of this color regain their pigment. (Note: this is not all plants. This is just for flowers and fruits!) 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. Any new characters will find that the first photo they upload is locked as their profile picture for the rest of the month. Characters who have been in game since February will find their profiles now have a 6 months badge. It does absolutely nothing of note.

oh! that'll definitely do it
i only work part time, and i haven't started school yet, so there's a lot of free time
painting doll faces is such a unique hobby- i don't think i've heard of anybody doing so
how did you get into that?

[playdolls]

School is boring bullshit. I got out as soon as I could. You should too.
I don't know, I was never satisfied with the way toys looked or what they did, I always changed them around. Which the other kids did not like :) Fuck if I cared.

[appraiser]

haha i haven't even started college yet, so now would be the time to get out, i suppose
aw, if somebody were to give my toys personalized touches, i would be touched. what's not to like?

[playdolls]

Now would be the time!! Just teach yourself. You don't need a classroom.
I mainly do specialty pieces these days, and full sized garments for people. I helped with the school play,
even though I don't like children. Aren't I benevolent.

[appraiser]

i was homeschooled for much of my life, so a classroom... sometimes i feel like i want to sit in one, just for the experience
but i know that's silly

that's wonderful of you, helping out despite discomfort. i'm sure the students greatly appreciated your hard work!

[playdolls]

Children are ingrates :)

Why homeschool? Mom over protective?

[appraiser]

children are still learning, so their behavior isn't always the best, yes...

that's partially the reason
my mother and i travelled the world together when i was younger, so it was simply easier to have a teacher i could bring with me, instead of transferring schools every year and having to start all over

[ Pitou was never the most developmentally sound. A lot of effort had been spent on this willful and troublesome spirit to teach them how to interface socially.... and they're still not that great at it. There is much about them, selfish and impulsive, that would strike as immature. ]

That's not so bad. Best way to learn is to go,
see, do.

What stupid thing do you think you're going to go to school for anyway?

[appraiser]

yep! i'm not very good at taking care of children, but i love watching them with their caretakers and learning from them

i'm not sure what i want to major in, but i might want to become a nurse or a pilot

[playdolls]

[ Ew that is utterly not what Pitou meant about children. They are making a face at their phone and just glossing past that to hand down unsolicited advice, ]

It takes a long time to become a nurse. Just become a mortician, same difference.

[appraiser]

oh
i suppose they both work with people, but they're different enough professions?
i wouldn't be able to talk to patients if i were a mortician

[playdolls]

UUugh I mean you do the anatomy and shit, so you learn about the body. Then you can just read some books for the other shit. All the fun of medicine without Hippocrates.

[appraiser]

oh. that much is true
nursing school teaches more about how to interact with people though, i'd imagine
not just knowledge of how to heal people's bodies, but also their souls
they're a comfort

[playdolls]

Fuck that. That's exactly why I work in the morgue and not out in the parlor.
