retrospec | 01 | the answers agency presents...

Elizabeth Velveteen and Goro Akechi of the newly-formed The Answers Agency would like to announce that, after multiple days of investigation, we have found that a member of Retrospec's userbase is actually an incredibly kind person.

Silver Bells, known on the app as Gintaro Suzukaze, has done wonderful things such as:

* sprayed water on people on a very hot day
* helped newcomers adjust to retrospec
* had his nails painted a bright assortment of colors that was sure to clash with his hair to help out with someone’s bingo square
* promo’d his brother for bingo and because he obviously loves him
* rescues cats from trees on a biweekly basis
* befriends friendless losers
* lends his aid without asking for anything in return

(citation for at least two of these)

We thank you for reading and ask that you spread the good word about Silver, and perhaps share stories of your own of his kindness!

also, i (The Answers Agency president, Elizabeth) will be holding a show everyone is free to come to in Recollé Square on the 15th, at 5pm. you’ll have to bring your own snacks, but other refreshments will be provided.
additionally, those with a serious interest in becoming a detective or making their way in the investigative world should contact either myself or Akechi for more information about The Answers Agency!
we will also take cases, big or small, missing pets or stolen items, so feel free to contact about that as well.

[ ooc: replies will come from both Elizabeth and Goro (

twostringsonebow)! ...and Silver, probably, damage control at its finest. ]

whose name i also did not capitalize, thus invalidating his realness.

oh, this reminds me.
is it bad form to reply to one's own comments?
or is that acceptable if you don't want to spam someone.

Don't ruin his dreams. He's probably still hoping he won't get coal this year.

you'd think coal would've been a good thing back in the day.
it is, after all, a good way to stay warm.

With all due respect Elizabeth, I'm saying that Goro's a mean dumb jerk.

we'll have to agree to disagree, Silver!
i always thought he was a nice dumb boy.
a bit translucent, but nice.

Okay, he's a nice dumb jerk.
That's even worse.

it's no different than you.

Translucent?

i didn't want to say transparent, even though that's much more apt, because it's a little rude.
but yes.
translucent.

You realize that if he were real, he'd have to be tried in court for breaking and entering.
I'd like for him to exist, because that's a wonderful concept cruelly taken advantage of by our capitalistic society, but unfortunately such a thing cannot. The government would have too much use for an old elf like him.

This is exactly why you get coal.

I'm realistic.

You're a bully. A Christmas bully.

so you've thought about arresting santa claus?

Do you agree with my aforementioned jerk statement yet?

between this and the earlier phone-stealing, i may have to reconsider my words, yes.

You were going to take pictures of me.
Which is also against the law, by the way. You're not allowed to take pictures of otherwise without their consent. Which I would not have given you.

No, of course not.
I doubt anyone could catch him anyway. A twist of his nose and he's off!

that seems very unlikely and incredibly magical.
what class do you think he would be?

miss velveteen.

oh no.
my realness is also at stake here.
please capitalize my name at once.

Only if you capitalize Santa Claus as you properly should.

you said yourself that he isn't real though.

Actually.
Someone like him once existed and started the legend in the first place.
He didn't live on the North Pole, but he did give out gifts in the winter season, if I remember right. The story of Santa Claus (Old Saint Nick) comes from that.
So he's technically real... in a way.
