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. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

Overflow for Ryoga Hibiki

[momentaryspring]

Original post

For Koutarou Takao

[momentaryspring]

Continuing from here

Ryoga Hibiki Those are some impressive Halloween preparations.

[wordcarvings]

Koutarou Takao They sure are. Some people can get pretty caught up in their costumes.

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki However, they have the wrong holiday entirely. As far as I know, no one celebrates Founders day by dressing up in black and menacing pets.

[wordcarvings]

Koutarou Takao Maybe their calendar shows the wrong date and they don’t go outside very often?

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki That's way past not going outside very often! That's basically living in your house 24/7!

[wordcarvings]

Koutarou Takao So they're a hikikomori then.

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki But doesn't a hikikomori usually stay inside? What would drive one to leave their refuge?

[wordcarvings]

Koutarou Takao Usually, yes, unless something special makes them go outside. Perhaps they just completed the costume and wanted to try it out?
Koutarou Takao See if it might generate any interest?

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki I would think they'd want to avoid attention... but I've never been a shut-in.

[ maybe they had some kind of self-revelation ]

[wordcarvings]

Koutarou Takao Probably, it might be hard to find out though.

Ryoga Hibiki I agree, it's entirely ridiculous. AND YET IT IS ALL TRUE.

[darthvaper]

Gabriel Reyes Still seems fishy to me.
Gabriel Reyes The angle of the picture makes it seem like you were above the thing looking down.
Gabriel Reyes Were you?

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki Yes, there was a pedestrian walkway. I thought I might be able to figure out where I was if I was up higher.

[darthvaper]

Gabriel Reyes Uh-huh. In case you haven't noticed, kid, I don't really believe you.
Gabriel Reyes The whole thing sounds like one of those pranks you see on TV.
Gabriel Reyes However, I'm willing to look into it if for no other reason than to prevent other people from getting wrapped up in this.

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki It doesn't matter to me whether you believe me or not. I have warned you... and there my duty ends.

[darthvaper]

Gabriel Reyes I'm sure we all appreciate the warning.

[Part of him hopes the sarcasm shines through, but he also doesn't care all that much one way or another.]
