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.

Maya - I assume you're the girl I spoke to the other night. This is Rachel.

This app clearly has access to our personal information and doesn't seem to have any qualms about sharing it without our permission. I apologize, but I may have been mistaken the other night.

[strongestheart]

[Oh, it's the nerdy girl who snuck up on her in the alley. The important distinction that Rachel didn't do quite that escapes her mind for a brief moment as she's already dancing around some mild paranoia.]

So what you're saying is, Daddy IS going to kill me.

1/2

[clear_eyes]

It... it depends. My mother and I share a family account, and I've determined it's not in our purchase or download history. I've also been able to tell it's not on any device but my own.

He'd only know if you informed him.

2/2 - [hastily followed up several seconds later]

[clear_eyes]

Not that I'm suggesting you hide things from your father of course!

[strongestheart]

Right.

So.

Probably keeping this to myself for now until I see some scam reports on the news or something.

[clear_eyes]

I'd fear we were being the victim of some kind of fraud, but if that's their aim, they seem to be doing it in a manner quite elaborate.

I would think they'd take the information and run.

[strongestheart]

Well, at least it doesn't seem to have my credit card infoaslkajslkajsla

[Fumbling and accidentally slapping send as she suddenly rushes to delete any and all credit card information off her phone.]

[clear_eyes]

I assume you just realized that information is on your phone.

Removing it immediately would be very smart.

[Rachel, of course, has already taken steps to ensure her mother's information isn't discoverable.]

[strongestheart]

What? No. Me? The phone just slipped out of my hands. That's all!

[clear_eyes]

I see.

[Liar.]

But it's good advice nonetheless, isn't it?

[strongestheart]

It sure is! I really hope people who WOULD have that sort of thing still on their phone would make sure to take those steps, yep!

[clear_eyes]

Like you clearly had the foresight to.

[strongestheart]

I always like to think I'm well prepared! (　＾∇＾)

[clear_eyes]

Clearly.

I'm sorry you were dragged into this Maya. I don't want to disappoint my mother either.

[There's that mention of only one parent again.]

[strongestheart]

[Oh. Oh, that thing. Right. Ah. Hm. Don't pry. Don't look stupid.]

Ehh, I guess it can't be helped at this point...? Everyone here seems to be in the same boat...!

[clear_eyes]

Then that means it's going to be a short while before it's exposed right?

Unless this thing has some magical way to keep itself secret.

[A joke. Ha ha.

She'll cry about this later.]

[strongestheart]

You know what, you're right! That makes sense!

Because, pffffff. That'd just be silly.

[clear_eyes]

No one would even be able to implement it! Something like that on this scale would be the stuff of science fiction!

[strongestheart]

Yeah, that'd be crazy!

It'll probably be fine. There's only so much they can do with our names, right? And people spread those on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter all the time now...!

[This mutual denial club is dangerous.]

[clear_eyes]

They usually have a choice though.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

[strongestheart]

[DON'T YOU RUIN THIS FOR HER, NERD.]

Nah, nah! Don't worry, I'm sure it'll get worked out one way or another!

[Famous last words.]
