[recollecters]

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.

[Good thing this isn't audio, or else there might be a noise only audible to dogs.]

OH MY GOSH HI! Wow, I almost feel special now if I got into the same sort of thing as you...!

[Uh, Maya? The... security concerns? Maya? ...Maya...?]

[rosettareflected]

I would wait to feel tremendously special - certainly I'm here, but if they wanted many famous people, they'd want, say, my papa, who doesn't seem to have an invite. I think there are other forces at work. Or if nothing else, the criteria are a little skewed.

Still, it's certainly pulling in a diverse group.

[strongestheart]

Well, I don't know! Maybe they wanted someone younger! Cuter! Up and coming!

[That does NOT explain your place here, young lady. Or some of the people you've responded to...]

But still, it's nice to talk to you again!

[Don't try too hard, you might hurt something.]

[rosettareflected]

I will accept your compliments in the spirit offered. [Because wow, that's coming on kinda strong there. Not that she's going to complain terribly much, it's good for her self-esteem.]

I didn't think I'd be meeting you again quite like this. It's honestly a little strange. Nice, but strange.

[strongestheart]

(　＾∇＾) YAY! [She would apologize but hype has overridden her self awareness for the time being.]

It was fun helping out before, so ... y'know, if you need any help with anything else, by all means...!

[Of course she realizes as she hits that, that might be asking too much.]

[rosettareflected]

Of course, I can keep you in the loop if I have anything for you. Although I don't tend to need help terribly often - you caught me in the middle of an admittedly abnormal scene.

That doesn't mean we can't just... talk, though? [For a moment she almost tests the word on her tongue before she sends the message; it's a novel thing, really.]

[strongestheart]

Well, that makes sense! I'm sure you've gotta be super capable at all sorts of things to do your job...! I'm just saying, if you need anything...!

[That, though...]

...I can talk! I LOVE TO TALK. I CAN TALK ALL DAY.

[Maya. You're going to hurt yourself.]

[rosettareflected]

Relatively capable, yes. There are many things I can do myself, although I do have help for the rest. So

[The capitalized text is almost like a physical force, a magnified voice, from her phone, and she reflexively pulls back from it while brushing the send button automatically. It's a moment before she responds again.]

That seems easy enough, I suppose. I, ah, haven't thought far ahead enough to suggest what to talk ABOUT, but it's an option we have.

[strongestheart]

[Maya's eyelashes flicker on her end as she blinks rapidly at the incomplete message.

Doubt and concern floods her mind all of a sudden until the next one comes in, and then it vanishes just as fast.]

( ^ ◇ ^ ) Well, I mean there's all sorts of things...! But, I guess... you probably don't want to give anything more away here that this thing doesn't already know about, would you? Hm. [She's excited but not TOO stupid. She hopes.] Sorry! I just [want someone to listen] thought it'd be nice to offer, heh...!

[rosettareflected]

[Alicia is immensely relieved that Maya seems to understand the need for at least mild privacy. Poking around the app for a moment, she finds the private message function, and she nods to herself before returning to the open thread.]

I don't, no. But there are other options open as well - you have a cell phone, yes? We could exchange numbers, and just... talk on the phone?

[strongestheart]

[Continued here! And, uh. Sorry for Maya. In general.]
