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.

Sometimes what the eyes see isn't truly there.

The shadows can confuse us.

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki So you're saying I was hallucinating?

[glacian]

That would be the logical response...

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki Explain to me, then, how my camera was hallucinating!

Ryoga Hibiki That's right, CAMERAS DON'T HALLUCINATE. What they reveal is the truth, and the truth is as plain as the pixels on that photo!

[glacian]

The alleged "truth" in that photo is most likely shadows toying with the dim lights of the street lamps.

Cameras are merely tools that capture the essence of a moment but not the full truth.

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki Dim lighting? Look at those sodium lights! It's bright as day in that photo!

[glacian]

You're quite eager to make your newfound discovery true.

Why is that? A strong fascination in the Unknown or a cry for attention?

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki You're quite eager to spout psychobabble, but that's no reason to be tossing scurrilous accusations hither and thither!

[glacian]

It seems you've taken offense.

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki Oh, I get it. You're one of those chat bots. What a waste of time!

[glacian]

Excuse me? I do believe you're mistaken--

So you're implying that we're all hallucinating? The photo is there for all to see.

[glacian]

It wouldn't be the first time people shared in a similar thought or consciousness.

The human mind is quite subjective to various thoughts and truths.

[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?

[glacian]

I find literature to be more amusing.

[daemonized]

[Come on, Gentiana. Budge a little, here.]

Are you saying my messages to you aren't the equivalent of literary genius? You'll hurt my feelings.

[glacian]

Your pride shall heal.

[There. She budged.]

[daemonized]

[If that's what you call budging, Gentiana....]

No, it won't. I think it's dying a sad, pathetic sort of death right now. You should feel terrible.

[glacian]

Should? I do believe you mean 'could'. I could feel something akin to remorse if I willed it.

[daemonized]

No, I meant what I meant. You should. There's an obligation to feel bad when you do something terrible and unforgivable to another human being.

[glacian]

You're being dramatic. The illustrious tongue of a thespian is less amusing in text.

[daemonized]

[lord his pride, may it not crumble in the face of her words]

Would you prefer audio, then?

[glacian]

If you must.

[One can just feel how horribly uninterested she is with him.]

[daemonized]

No need to twist my arm.

[And hey, a change to audio.]

Now then, what's this about being a thespian? I'm in law, not theatre.
