[recollecters]

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.

And what were you late for, precisely?

[parodeity]

part time job 3
sometimes my schedule slips away from me

[doitrockapella]

That must be difficult to juggle. What jobs are they? Are they all in your areas of interest?

[parodeity]

haha i wish
but you cant really make decent money djing or anything or most of my shit actually
but i work at one of the flower shops
i signed on to officially tutor people in the maths
and more recently i work at a movie theater
which is i guess an area of interest technically
except that most of what i do is make and sell popcorn
which is not a deepseated passion of mine

[doitrockapella]

Not even a kernel of passion for it, hmm?

[FOR GOD'S SAKE CARMEN WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS]

What would you rather be doing? In a perfect world, I mean — now you've got me curious about where your passions do lie.

[parodeity]

i cant believe you would assalt me like this

[ get it ]

huh well
if you mean in a world where this all was not happening
in that world i was like unsure
i settled on cinematography but like
ive always thought paleontology was really cool
and i like photography
and mixing music
theres a lot of stuff id rather be doing its just all stuff that doesnt really like
immediately pay bills you know

[doitrockapella]

Don't be corny.

[SHE SURE DO]

I don't suppose you have a portfolio of your work? One you're willing to put up for review, that is.

[parodeity]

butter than having no sense of humor at all

yeah kinda
i mean i could create one anyway
aside from weird youtube vids and my webcomic i dont really have a portfolio online or in file form or w/e
but it isnt hard to make one
well i guess instagram is where photos go but its mostly just a social account like the other things
so yes ?

[doitrockapella]

As it happens, I have an office that would benefit greatly from some decoration — and if the photography happens to be the work of a local artist, then so much the better.

Interested?

[ he assumes this is one of those things like luke letting him dj at cabin eleven for youth night - if he's lucky he will get aj and maybe a twenty, and that suits dave fine. even just aj.

dave, why. ]

yeah sure
like people shots or animal shots or scenery or architecture or weird random crap
are like
my categories of things i take pictures of for whatever you wanna look at

[doitrockapella]

I'd like you to assemble a collection, actually. Six black-and-white shots, of whatever subject matter you choose — using your artistic discretion — provided they follow the theme of capturing what you believe to be the essence of this city. Whether that comes in the form of people, architecture, landscapes — I'll leave the content up to you.

Bring me your chosen six shots when you're finished with it and I'll pay you fair market value for the collection as a whole.

[parodeity]

all right sure
i can probably have it done by the weekend
assuming
nothing weird happens in the next few days
but maybe even then

[doitrockapella]

Take your time. I'd rather see something you're proud of, even if it takes a while longer to get it to me.

[parodeity]

sure
ill touch base later then
oh im dave strider btw i know it says so but i like to try to like
introduce myself without just relying on the stalker username thing

[doitrockapella]

Courtesy noted and appreciated, Mr. Strider. And I'm Carmen Sandiego.
