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. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and 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. 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. As a reminder, everything besides uploading a profile picture and information was locked until this post. 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. Oddly, profile pictures still cannot be swapped out at this time, so hopefully you took a good one.

Try deleting Android. That ought to do it.

Just because no one reads it doesn't mean that they shouldn't make an attempt. I particularly enjoy watching people's eyes glaze over as they slowly scroll down into legal oblivion.

Enjoying yourself so far, Iris? Post a selfie yet?

I can't really use this for business if the test group is that small, so I suppose I'll have to figure out something else to do on a new social network. Hmm... I'd talk about what I'm doing, but I don't even know if all the testers are in my city or if the invitations were sent to a wider group.

Well, whatever. If the test group is so small, it's not like there's a risk of anything spreading out of control to others. Not that I know what to talk about... I'm not filming right now, the preparations for Founder's Day are more or less done but we're not presently doing anything, school isn't particularly exciting... I almost wish something interesting would happen.

What do you even do on a social network you don't know if you have friends on?

[goen]

They're paying you aren't they.
I can tell.
No real person on the internet types like that. (´-ι_-｀)

[notyourutopian]

Well there weren't any reports of cat eating before you took the picture.
It might have just been minding it's own business being creepy and out of focus but then you had to go and interfere.

[heroforall]

Yeah! We share homeroom.

Ryoga, right?

[parodeity]

Everyone has already spoken enough of how shady this all seems so I'll be brief.

This application doesn't show up on my account's download or purchase history. My mother and I have a family account and I'm very sure it's not on any of her devices.

I hope this information is useful to someone.

[Well this is a surprise. After a few days when he created his profile at the same time this mysterious app downloaded into his phone without any warning, he realizes that most of the app's features are now open, yet he can't change his username into something private instead of his full name.

Guess he might introduce himself...]

Hello there! As what my username says, my name is Augustine Sauveterre and I'm a college professor of animal biology at Recolle University.

To be honest, I have no idea how this Retrospec app got into my phone nor I even remember downloading it from the App Store. Did anyone know about this app beforehand?

[true_noir]

I really don't know that much about scams, but I've changed all my passwords just in case. I wonder what it is meant to do. After all, they have to make money somehow, right?

[caelestialis]

Augustine! You got an invitation to try this out too! 😮😀🙌

Of course I would want to try this out. It was on my phone and it seems like a lot of fun to use! Most of my emojis don't end up becoming boxes, for one thing! 📱🇽🇽🇽 [ the last bits were tongue-in-cheek. possibly. ]

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki Frankly, I don't know how you'd tell what would be with the acceptable range of peacock loudness, but I agree that it sounds unrelated.

Someone suggested sarcastically that my photo was of the founder. I think it's more likely that your sound was connected to him. That is to say, perhaps it was something they're planning for part of the celebration later this week.

taking name suggestions for this one. so far it defies my attempts to name it on my own.

[openhanded]

I can't say I'm crazy about the fact this app downloaded without permission. I definitely thought it was spyware..... I guess it's okay since it's not blasting me with ads.

if you put in my name and found me because I'm your student teacher, hi!!! don't forget there's a pop quiz on Friday. it's on the reading about Alexander the Great. if you don't understand something, please please please let me know before Friday and I'll go over the reading with you.

and hi to everyone else!! you can call me Sorey or Surei whichever is easier for you to say/spell. i'm an arch major and I teach history sometimes. I'm currently waiting to hear back on some field applications for next summer. please wish me luck ＼(º □ º l|l)/

Surei Doushi shared a photo. 2/1 near Recollé

What's that? Your artifact is long john?

[metafaliure]

Oh, is that a legal term? Like Mea Culpa and In Medias Res and Hakuna Matata and all that?

[strongestheart]

I'm sorry, I didn't realize it'd do that! I'm sorry for complaining and if you got a bunch of notifications like that I was just confused!

[daemonized]

But pixels on a screen are not. Though if this is some mass hallucination, I find it a particularly amusing one, don't you?

[rosettareflected]

It's almost more refreshing, though - no self-respecting modern app develops for only one platform. Even the bad stuff. You have to chase the market share, or you'll just be left behind.

[notyourutopian]

Of course.
I've got seven of the set up already to take slightly out of focus pictures in awkward shadows.
But found footage is pretty overdone.
We might have to try a different medium.

What about found vimes?!

[borntoolate]

What would we do without you?
But yeah it's pretty weird how the app knows all our names.
And got into all our phones.

[heroforall]

Ah! Anya.

It's good to see...er talk to you again. How are you?

Eh yeah they can get pretty loud. One of the benefits of the comics.

[ HE'S SURE HOPING THE CUTENESS PART ]

Yosuke Hanamura oh yeah i guess keeping face is important...
Yosuke Hanamura it is kinda cool that we get to like beta test this isnt it?

[rhapsodeity]

:o
it is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love it
it must have a name just as cute as it is
hmmmmmmmmm
ok, i have a suggestion :D
mr stemington the third!

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki Minding its own business in the middle of town?

Ryoga Hibiki That's ASKING for someone to come snap a picture.

Ryoga Hibiki At any rate, I doubt it noticed me.

[strongestheart]

HEY, THAT'S MEAN! KITTIES ARE PEOPLE, TOO!

[No they're not, Maya. They're cats and stores have rules against that and you know this and--]

Uh, I mean. I can't delete it, and it doesn't seem like it came with any update...!
