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.

Hello Retrospec users and employees. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to test your new system. Though I receive many offers of exclusive promotions, I'm happy to have made time out of my busy schedule to try this out. There are plenty of features I'm looking forward to giving a try!

For those of you patient enough to be reading this, I will most certainly be logging more of my daily thoughts here, and invite you all to stay tuned.

Thank you again,
Vera C. Weisz
Heiress, Weisz Manufacturing Global

Be a dear and give us a sneak preview of your thoughts. I, for one, am dying of anticipation.

[heiroglyphs]

Well, my first concern is that I can't seem to change my name on here. Even a semi-public figure such as myself needs privacy every once in a while.

[orbweaver]

You're right about that.

The sad fact is, they don't give a shit about you or me. Even if we do have the whole 'moral high ground' thing going for us.

[metafaliure]

Is 'Heiress' really your official job title?

[heiroglyphs]

It's my title within the company, at least.

Technically, I don't have an official job yet.

[metafaliure]

Oh, I see. I was going to ask if you could put it on a resume, but I guess you wouldn't need one... since you're going to inherit something anyway.

[goen]

They're paying you aren't they.
I can tell.
No real person on the internet types like that. (´-ι_-｀)

[heiroglyphs]

[Implying she needs money.]

Excuse me? I can assure you that this is how I type.

[notyourutopian]

I have the sudden urge to interview you for a job.

[heiroglyphs]

What gives you that feeling? I can assure you that I've no need for work.

[strongestheart]

Do you really want to give them MORE information, though?

They seem to have that much handled...!

[heiroglyphs]

What do you mean? I thought they just took all of the information from my Wikipedia page.

They used the picture and everything.

[scarlet_devil]

Mlle Weisz. Fancy seeing you here.

[heiroglyphs]

Émilie? I didn't know you were living in Recollé.

[twelfthspark]

[Vera Weisz, Vera Weisz... where has she heard that name before... Oh. That chick from work.]

Suck up a little harder, you're so close to making a vacuum.

[heiroglyphs]

[Why does this girl look familiar?]

I'm simply expressing my gratitude in being selected for such an exclusive product. If I've somehow offended you, I'm sorry.

[notbunaga]

weisz?
never heard of them

[Although that's a lie. In fact, as a former member of the upper class herself, her parents very likely mentioned them a lot. Or, that is to say, how important it would be to Make Connections with them.

Hell, if her mother knew this conversation was happening, she'd push really hard for her to make a good impression and be """friends""" with vera.

But since she's gotten away from all that...fuck it.]

[heiroglyphs]

I find that hard to believe. There's likely to be a Weisz product within your arm's reach right now.

[Go on. Check. She'll wait.]

[digthefuzz]

DUDE!
the real vera weisz??

[heiroglyphs]

[Well that's a reaction. Why does he look so familiar, though?]

Yes, it's really me. But I'm not sure if I know you.

[mercurio]

at first i thought you were being sarcastic, but
as a willing participant of this social experiment myself, go ahead and share more of your daily thoughts! it's kinda cool to be connected to a few chosen others huh!?

[heiroglyphs]

[You... actually want to hear what she has to say? And not, like, make fun of it or anything?]

It is interesting, isn't it? It can be so hard to have real conversations with people in normal social media. Maybe it will be easier with such an exclusive crowd.

[tokencanadian]

[What. There's an actual heiress on here? whoa. Whoa okay. What should she say here? Should she? c'mon, think of something.]

you uh, get things like this a lot?
