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.

I appreciate your concern, Miss Chloe. I cannot say with honesty that I have never overdone it, but temperance is a hard learned lesson. I know that I'm not good for much of anything if I've collapsed from exhaustion, but I admit that I have a tendency to wear blinders when I have a goal in mind.

... The fact that you have picked up on that much shows just how transparent I really am, doesn't it?

[ Her tone is self-deprecating and mildly sheepish. How embarrassing to have nice strangers worrying over her! ]

Chloe Bouchard Hehe, don't feel bad about it.
Chloe Bouchard Martyrs at heart are sort of hard to miss, if you think about it.
Chloe Bouchard They're always looking for a new cause to help out, and for people that need help.
Chloe Bouchard I shouldn't assume too much, though.
Chloe Bouchard After all, we just met now didn't we?

(OOC: Trying out the face-book post thing. Seeing how it works.)

Lunafreya Fleuret I suppose they are, though I would really rather not refer to myself in such a way.
Lunafreya Fleuret I simply see myself as someone in a position to help others, and I would be remiss to do otherwise.
Lunafreya Fleuret Indeed, we only have just met, and under strange circumstances... But I am happy to have had the opportunity to speak to you.
Lunafreya Fleuret I've spent this entire time blathering on about myself, though; what is it that you do, Miss Chloe? Were you born in Recollé?

[ OOC: Sounds good! I'll match styles whenever! ]

Chloe Bouchard I don't think anyone who is like that ever really likes to refer to themselves that way.
Chloe Bouchard It feels like the sort of thing someone would say if they wanted fame, not to help.
Chloe Bouchard But that's not important, really.

Chloe Bouchard Oh, I'm nobody that special.
Chloe Bouchard I moved her from France for school, and now I work as a florist in town.

Lunafreya Fleuret I do not make it a habit to cast judgement upon others, as my circumstances are the only ones I may comment on.
Lunafreya Fleuret Regardless, there's some degree of truth in the notion that some of what I do is for my own gain.
Lunafreya Fleuret I have seen various shades of suffering in my years, and it has pained me to know that others are left wanting while I have more than enough.
Lunafreya Fleuret Perhaps my actions are self-aggrandizing in their own way.

Lunafreya Fleuret I would beg to differ. You speak with a wise soul. That in itself is very special.
Lunafreya Fleuret Working as a florist must be lovely... As must living in France. You certainly must miss your home.

Chloe Bouchard Well, I'm sure you're fine.
Chloe Bouchard You're paying attention to yourself and your actions, and that's the important part.
Chloe Bouchard Though it really isn't all that special to watch people and listen.
Chloe Bouchard I just find most don't do that is all.
Chloe Bouchard Home, though. I miss it, but this has been a wonderful opportunity.
