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.

( phone he hit delete NOT ENTER, SCREW YOU )

The future is randomly selected to be creepy and make us the focal point for some weird new company running a social experiment?

Where's the opt out.

[viktorymaker]

Nowhere on this app. But this is America, maybe we should sue

[catsudon]

For invasion of privacy? Doesn't that only work if we have evidence we can show?

Wait, can we take screenshots of the app? Even if it goes missing, if those files aren't pulled too, we can make our own paper trail or whatever, right?

[viktorymaker]

It's worth trying. Then again, everything we say here is probably being monitored...

[catsudon]

Say it isn't so.

( what a strange, foreign concept for them. truly. even if Yuri had spent most his formative years growing up in the United States as opposed to Russia. )

[viktorymaker]

[ very strange!! well tbh if this were a gag comic he'd be ready to say hi to the potential retrospec onlookers with a sparkling heart emoji but. it's not. so we get "probably"s. read between the lines and think of what you're saying in public, yura!

or not ]

Haha well, being read by others is more or less the point of social media

[catsudon]

( hey, Yuri's started putting things off retrospec! ... granted, not everything, but he's sixteen, give him a little room for improvement. in a gag comic he'd be staring offscreen by now... as it is, he's staring down at his phone screen. )

Yeah, but usually you get to set your own privacy settings and choose who you're following instead of having your social media account decide to stalk you

[viktorymaker]

[ psssh. if he didn't respect you, he wouldn't expect anything from you ok ]

That's true. But at least they're being transparent about it

[catsudon]

( hence the dilemma )

Transparency would say, "by the way, this app follows you everywhere, no matter what you do"

No one said that

[viktorymaker]

But they didn't try to hide it. Read their message again while thinking of this and tell me it doesn't hint at it

[catsudon]

I hate you

( because he makes a good point, and he doesn't want to admit that.

ergo, welcome to teenagers. again. )

[viktorymaker]

[ He doesn't reply after that, Viktor's point was made so he's walking out of this one victorious (pun intended, puns always intended, especially when they're bad). Yura can work out this moment of exacerbated teenagehood on his own. ]
