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.

[The response from Ryoga lists the date and time, but the coordinates, if looked up, would correspond to a location somewhere in the Panama Canal.]

[ SEVERAL MINUTES LATER ]

umm are you sure about those coordinates

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki Pretty sure. I looked it up on a map and everything.

[gemgineer]

google maps is telling me it's in the panama canal???
is that where you took this picture

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki No. At least, I certainly hope not. Well, you can see from the picture, right? It was in the Village.

[good luck buddy]

[gemgineer]

but!! that's not what google maps showed me
are you saying google maps is wrong???

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki Is that so hard to believe? I thought it missed turns all the time.

[gemgineer]

well i did almost drive into a lake once
BUT USUALLY IT'S NOT THAT FAR OFF
panama is really far away!

[momentaryspring]

Hmm. That's true. It is at least 500 miles away.

[gemgineer]

so???
how can you see the panama canal from your window???
do you just have a really really good camera
if so can i please take it apart and see what's inside it
i want to build a camera that can penetrate the earth's crust

[momentaryspring]

Look, it wasn't at the panama canal, ok?? I must have just gotten the coordinates mixed up somehow.

[gemgineer]

ARE YOU SAYING YOU LIED TO ME

[momentaryspring]

WHO ARE YOU CALLING A LIAR. I DIDN'T COME HERE TO HAVE MY HONESTY IMPUGNED

[gemgineer]

THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ALMOST SENT ME ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE TO PANAMA
I ALMOST BOUGHT A PLANE TICKET
I WAS ONE SCREEN AWAY

[momentaryspring]

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU MADE NO APPRECIABLE MOVEMENT TOWARD PANAMA AT ALL

[gemgineer]

MY FINGER HOVERED OVER THE "BUY TICKET" BUTTON
THAT'S APPRECIABLE ENOUGH

[momentaryspring]

APPRECIABLE, MY BUTT

EVEN I KNOW THAT PANAMA ISN'T IN RECOLLE

[of course

knowing that didn't really help him but]

[gemgineer]

are you sure????
because i'm still having my doubts!

[momentaryspring]

Look, we all have our strengths and weaknesses.

[gemgineer]

yes, and yours seem to be directional weaknesses

[momentaryspring]

Go ahead, rub it in! Would you like to know how many times I've missed a movie because I couldn't find the theater on time? How many times I've had to pay full price because the sale was over by the time I was able to get to the right store?

[gemgineer]

HAHAHAHA
or should i say LOL
because i am laughing out loud at your comical misfortune right now!
maybe you should become a comedian? :)

[momentaryspring]

Yes, yes. I'll wait until you're finished.

[ Since he'd been dealing with it all his life, Ryoga was basically used to the reactions by now. ]

[gemgineer]

then you'll be waiting awhile
i'm gonna remind you about this every time we talk now!!!
