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.

[Game? What game? Were they playing a game? Chloe was becoming confused by this conversation.]

Well, they've hardly told us what the rules are. So, I feel like I'm at a loss if we're playing a game? And aren't you revealing something by saying you're notorious?

[threnodeity]

It's a metaphor. Try not to think too hard about it.

[Def not addressing that last question.]

[true_noir]

Ah, English is not my first language, I apologize. I miss some turns of phrase easily. I won't think too much about it in that case.

[threnodeity]

It's all right. I'll remember not to fly off into flights of metaphors. It's a terrible habit I've picked up from my brother.

Where are you from?

[true_noir]

Well, I am living here now, so no time like the present to learn, is there? Just be patient with me. I moved here from France as an exchange student two years ago. I just passed the test for citizenship after my graduation.

[Why was she sharing that? Well, she was rather proud of that fact. Citizenship tests were hard, and she was hoping to get into college next year. It was kind of a big deal for her.]

[threnodeity]

And how do you like it here?

[true_noir]

It's a much larger city than I was ever used to. I didn't travel much before I moved here, so it took a lot of getting used to. But, I've come to like it. I really want to bring my girlfriend and mother here someday too. I think they'd love it here.

Are you from here originally?

[threnodeity]

As far as cities go, Recolle is ideal for settling down.

No. My family moved when I was young. We hail from the land of cholesterol-raising steak and ambiguously homoerotic cowboys.

[Choloresterol-raising steak and ambiguously... what in the world? She had to think about it for a moment before she replied, and even then she was really not sure what Rose was saying.]

I really think they'd like it here. I know my girlfriend would. She always wanted to travel.

But, are you from Kansas?

[threnodeity]

Not quite. Does Kansas possess a surplus of gay cowboys?

[true_noir]

I don't know? I've never actually been to Kansas, but the pictures I saw had cowboys in them. I trust, though, that you are being a little humorous about this?

Perhaps Texas?
