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.

At least you seem to be enjoying it.
Try to keep the ruining to a minimum though, please.

As an adult authority figure, there is only so much I can do on that score. I may be making this network completely uncool just by being here.

[notyourutopian]

Unhip.
You're making it unhip.

[Confuse the adults with extra out of date slang? Yes.]

[myboggartisthemoon]

That can't be, as that term predates even me. Don't you have some new slang term these days that we adults can't understand, like 'hypertyro' or 'renegade'?

[notyourutopian]

...Hypertyro?

[myboggartisthemoon]

Absolutely. Take a word that means 'beginner' or 'inexperienced', augment it with a prefix to make it an insult, and then completely repurpose the resulting word so that the older generation is completely lost, it seems perfect to me.

[notyourutopian]

I think you might be overthinking this.
Was slang really that complicated when you were a kid?
I mean, I know things were complicated in the dark ages but still.

[myboggartisthemoon]

Of course I am. I'm old, and a scientist, I overthink such things by nature. Instead of just doing it on instinct.

[notyourutopian]

That sounds awful.
Remind me to never get old.

[myboggartisthemoon]

Please, please, let me assure you with all the force and effort I can:

It is far superior to the alternative.

[notyourutopian]

That's not what all the rock songs tell me.

[myboggartisthemoon]

And yet James Hetfield is 53 years old, so.

[notyourutopian]

That's more grunge than rock!
You know.
Live fast die young leave a beautiful corpse?

[myboggartisthemoon]

Strictly speaking it's metal. As for dying, well, that certainly does no favors for the people who care about you, does it?

[notyourutopian]

It doesn't matter anyway.

I have way too much to do to waste time being dead.

[myboggartisthemoon]

That, at least, is a sentiment worth expressing. Death has the very inconvenient disadvantage of requiring all your time.

[notyourutopian]

Speaking of. Homework time.

Goodnight Mr. Lunise

[myboggartisthemoon]

Best of luck on it, and good night to you too.
