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 part where you idol-worship things that probably aren't real.

[gemgineer]

tch is that really your problem
you really think it's SO IMPOSSIBLE for other lifeforms to exist in our universe?
that's pretty narrowminded, you know!

[notyourutopian]

That's not it.
I believe in aliens.
I just don't believe they'd bother to come here.

[gemgineer]

and why is that?
earth is FULL of valuable resources!

[notyourutopian]

Sure.
But so are probably billions of other planets.
Planets that aren't full of aggressive, unfriendly apes that like destroying things.

[gemgineer]

but that's part of the fun of it for an alien
why take over a planet if there's no joy of CONQUEST?

[notyourutopian]

Why would a civilization advanced enough to develop interstellar travel still want to waste time with wars?

[gemgineer]

didn't you read what i just said???
CONQUEST IS FUN
don't you ever play clash of clans??
it's the same principle
just
extrapolated

[notyourutopian]

Maybe for you.
But I'd like to hope they won't be so...
Well.
So you.

And who has time to play phone games anymore?

[gemgineer]

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN

also what else are you going to do on the toilet BUT ALSO WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN

[notyourutopian]

You're a little excitable.

Read?

[gemgineer]

I AM NOT EXCITABLE AT ALL!!! I REACT APPROPRIATELY TO EVERYTHING

also reading is way too inconvenient on the toilet
unless it's on your phone

[notyourutopian]

You are three exclamation points excitable, Peri.

You realize books are portable right?

[gemgineer]

they also require two hands most of time
phones only require ONE
leaving you with one free hand to do

well you know

[notyourutopian]

[There's a long delay before.]

ANYWAY
Never talking about that again
Ever.

So I still say it's not aliens.
It's just programming we haven't figured out yet.

[gemgineer]

well you keep thinking that then
in a couple of weeks or months or whatever when the aliens DO get here
i'll happily tell you "i told you so!" :)

[notyourutopian]

If that happens, I'll admit you were right.
If you do the same for me when the never show up at all.

[gemgineer]

fiiiiiiiine
i guess i can agree to these terms because i know i'll be the right one!
