[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.

Now, now, let's not start off this relationship with name-calling.

Hmm . . . let's start with something particularly personal, shall we? How often have you caught him cooing over his cats?

[tarotcards]

Cooing over his cats, you say? Personally, I have never caught him doing that (and if you know about it, please tell me that it's true), but I can let you know that he seems rather fond of the cats. After all, some of those cats are mine.

When I've asked him to catsit a few of them, he seemed far more than willing to take them off my hands. It wouldn't be so far-fetched to say that he's a cat lover like his nephews.

[originallutece]

Sorry, how many cats do you lot have in total?

[tarotcards]

In my dorm, currently six. My brother and I tend to have a rotating cycle, however.

Why?

[originallutece]

So that makes nine in total, including Ardyn's?

[tarotcards]

Yes, if you don't count the strays.

[originallutece]

I began this trying to get something to tease Ardyn with, but now I'm simply worried about you all and the amount of cats you have. Six is not a reasonable number, Souji.

[tarotcards]

What's wrong with six cats?

Technically, it'd be three cats if you split them amongst me and Yu.

[originallutece]

There's no room, for starters!

[tarotcards]

Actually, there's a lot of space for them. We have the second bedroom specifically just for the cats.

Yu and I share a room.

[originallutece]

That's somewhat better than what I was imagining, but still a rather small space for eight beings. Do they all have names?

[tarotcards]

Of course. The three I own are Cream-san, Manzoku-san, and Bisutoro-san.

You should come over to visit them sometimes, or at least let me send you over some photos of them.

[originallutece]

[oh my god what is happening

ardyn really wasn't kidding when he said his nephews were obsessed with cats, good god]

One picture each is acceptable.

[daemonized]

[Oh hi.]

One picture each is never enough, Rosalind.

And by the way, you two are /terrible/ conspirators. At least pretend to do all your plotting where others cannot see it.

[originallutece]

One picture is just about my limit, actually. You'll notice I've never asked for ones of your cats, hm?

Don't insult us, though. Not only is that cruel, but incorrect: we're plotting in public for quite a specific reason.

1/2

[daemonized]

And what reason is that?

Also, one second.

[daemonized]

[A few seconds later and her phone begins to buzz. Buzz. Buzz. With incoming pictures of his cats.

You practically asked for it, Ros. They are named:

[originallutece]

No.

[tarotcards]

She twisted my arm, Izunia-san. I never wanted nor have I ever dreamed to conspire against you at all.

[daemonized]

I don't know, Souji. I don't see a lot of arm-twisting here. You'll have to be far more convincing than that.

[tarotcards]

Didn't you see how she tried to use the power of bonds against me? I'm just a young and naive teenager, uncle. Of course I'd do anything if they'd call me their friend.

[tarotcards]

[ stop judging him, ros. you're suppose to be a good adult here ]

[ yes, they're named after the neko atsume cats because how similar they look. he has a problem.


This is Cream-san with me on the left. Yu's holding one of his own cats, Kohi-san, on the right. Cream-san was the first cat I've gotten and she's beautiful.

Here's me with Manzoku-san. He's a little overweight but he's cute.

I don't have a picture of me with Bisutoro-san just yet but this is him. He's a little shy so he doesn't stay still for enough photos but I'll get one of him with me eventually.

[originallutece]

[Those . . . sure are cats . . . actually, Manzoku is somewhat endearing, but she's not going to say that right now.]

And the other three?

[tarotcards]

Those are Yu's cats. I cannot dream of taking away his moment of pleasure of sharing photos of them so I will not speak of them.

But really, you should visit sometime. The cats would enjoy some more company.

[originallutece]

Ah. Well. Perhaps when I stop by to conduct that experiment we discussed.

[She wavers for a bit, then adds:]

I don't typically make it a habit to visit the student dorms to see pets.
