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. ]

I can buy my own food, but I can do that on my own.
Although you did say you were taking me on a romantic date to Target.

We're buying you trendy clothes, I'm not expecting you to kiss me at the end of the night.

You never know, Goro. Maybe you'll get lucky.

Your feelings, while flattering, are ones I cannot return.

it is customary to do so at the end of dates.

It isn't a date.

please define date.

A social or romantic engagement.

But you don't kiss for social ones. Just romantic. Which this will not be.

i concede.
but for your crush.......
would you be able to kiss them at the end of a date?

[........ Liz, you are right in front of him, you can see how red he's getting.]

I would like to think so. Provided it went well.

[ yes she can and she's going to make sure he's not looking when she takes a picture!! excellent. ]

what would you define as a date that "went well"?

[he will murder you one day. get that memory squared away.]

... If we both enjoyed it, I suppose.
That's rather vague, I realize, but... one that would leave both of us wanting a second. You can generally tell if a date is going well by how the other person reacts, how much they talk to you or at least by what they say.
Essentially, they look like they're having fun and hopefully you are as well.

and sometimes that might not be enough for a kiss and they're very awkward when they tell you goodnight and you walk home wishing you were dead

[ do it akechi DO IT ]

you sound as though you have personal experience.

I would be more surprised if someone hadn't had a bad date once in their life.

i haven't.

[ ............... because she's never gone out with someone but details! details. ]

Have you ever gone on one, Miss Velveteen?

Besides the one we are on now.

we're on a date?

A social engagement sort, admittedly, but technically.

i suppose this would be my very first, in that case.
unless visiting the arcade with Silver my initial time on Retrospec counts.
or going to the diner at an unholy hour of the night and having you walk me home also counts.

You've had a number of them, Miss Velveteen. They just haven't been the kiss-at-the-end kind. Would you consider them well enjoyed?

i didn't find them disagreeable, and the fruits from the last one were used up quite quickly in my household.

[take a picture of this disturbed face too]

I'm glad to hear that, then. You'll be able to feel the difference easily when you have the other sort too.

That was absolutely a date.

He's just shy, Elizabeth.
