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.

sounds like a classic
only thing i can add is that theyre the culprits behind the untimely death of vine
it was their first strike in the war

[ghostories]

social media apps live and die every minute
vine had it coming but...
no one thought it'd be so soon

[parodeity]

it was way before its time
7 second videos were a brilliant idea
it gave form to an entirely niche genre of media with like
a bunch of cool new filmography things?
like telling a story in that small timeframe is not the easiest thing in the world
and some people just MASTERED that art
if nothing else i am glad i was alive for it
even if it had to end

[ghostories]

wow you capsed
you're really into this aren't you
well!
at least twitter's still around for all your bite-sized multimedia needs

[parodeity]

well yeah
i loved watching vines and making them they were a unique culture
all unto themselves
theres something cool about being there for the start of an entire like
trend of media
and maybe theres something cool about seeing the fall of it as well
but its also a bummer you know

[ghostories]

ah, c'est la vie!
that's all i learned from french class
but don't worry dave
some things are always more beautiful when they die
and sometimes
their fleeting existence is the most beautiful thing about them

[ probably speaking from personal experience but

anyway ]

well!
as long as you download all your vines, it should be fine, right?

[parodeity]

you do have a point
it just means nothing new will come except
whatever this format moves onto
maybe insta???
i feel like that could work

[ghostories]

then go forth and conquer new frontiers!
or relatively old ones
meanwhile, i'll be here
trying to solve the mystery of the self-installing app
and pick the best filter for my next 20 selfies

[parodeity]

the best filter always depends on the selfie itself you know this
also yeah this would be a great mystery to solve
so far i got no ideas tho
you?

[ghostories]

lol ok true
i've got no leads either
i guess we'll just have to see how this goes
sometimes that's all you can do in life
and love
:)

[ not only is she a ghost, but a stalker. she's been reading his threads.

poor dave. ]

[parodeity]

what
what does love have to do with anything
are we in a romcom now
shit wheres the meetcute

[ghostories]

meetcutes can happen anywhere these days
i mean everything is about love, dave!
especially mysterious messenger apps!

[parodeity]

ok now you sound like an afterschool special
are you trying to ship people together or smth

[ghostories]

am i?
do you want me to?
though honestly
if people want someone so badly
they should do the heavy lifting themselves!
just a valentine's tip ♥
i should look for a valentine too
see you around, lover boy!

[parodeity]

yeah see you
next time maybe you can try to lay the overt hints on even thicker
just for a challenge
