[recollecters]

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.

No need. What's a few battle scars? I hear others find them attractive.

[tarotcards]

Are you trying to find a new date?

[ if so, then souji wants to play cupid ]

[daemonized]

[The answer to that is no, and should be followed up with a “I don’t need anyone playing matchmaker for me, either”. But this is Ardyn, and while the latter may be 100% true, he’s more prone to playing along than he is flat-out rejecting the notion like a normal person. Whether this leads to disaster remains to be seen.]

If I was, would you be playing matchmaker from behind the scenes?

[tarotcards]

Of course not. I think I could trust my uncle to find himself a date on his own.

Though these Cupid costumes that coincidentally appeared on my Amazon's suggested items seem to suggest otherwise.

[daemonized]

It must be fate pulling you in the right direction. Obviously you were born to meddle in the love lives of others. Don't you agree? The word of Amazon is law.

[tarotcards]

You're absolutely correct. I shall begin ordering an outfit immediately.

Which one do you like better, though? Should I go for something more traditional or something a little more risky?

[daemonized]

[oh my god

Are you really going to do this, Souji? More importantly, will Ardyn stop you? Not at all.]

That depends on how much of a breeze there is that day.

Why not put it up for a vote? Since we've a shiny new social media app at our fingertips now.

[tarotcards]

[ Look, LOOK, Souji doesn't have any shame and even if he's trying to be more professional here, it's easier to goof off online. ]

That is very true. I'll make sure to make a post when we near Valentine's Day.

I'll send you a message when it is up, so you can submit a vote yourself.

[daemonized]

[He is so glad you are family right now]

I look forward to casting my vote. I'm sure the population will be split on which they prefer.

Don't forget to include the option to choose whom to match with whom. It's not Valentine's day without awkward dates and unexpected confessions.

[tarotcards]

[ How proud is Ardyn? ]

That is quite true. We'd need to hold sign ups first, though.

Would it be too cruel to allow people to sign up other people on their behalf?

[daemonized]

[proud enough to enable you into eternity]

Cruel? Certainly not. Helpful? Yes.

[tarotcards]

[ someone should take photos of souji in his sexy cupid outfit and send it to his father, ardyn's brother, so he could be just as proud too (and when i mean proud, i mean probably leaving ardyn like 231728938 voicemails about what are you doing with my SON) ]

Yes, of course. How could it possibly be cruel to assist others in finding their true love?

Thank you, Izunia-san. I couldn't have thought of this without your help.

[daemonized]

[He'd be more than happy to offer if not for the fact that he won't text his siblings or otherwise give them the time of day. Though granted, if he did receive 231728938 irritated voicemails, he'd probably listen to them all with a clear sense of satisfaction.]

You're quite welcome. I look forward to seeing [this terrible fiasco] all of this come to fruition when Valentine's Day draws near.

[tarotcards]

As do I.

When the event becomes a success, I will make sure to gladly share the fame with you. I'm positive that it will impress your date as well.

[daemonized]

If one happens to exist at the time, then I'll be sure to let him or her know that I had a hand in this grand experiment of ours.

[tarotcards]

And I'll make sure to prepare the wedding invitations at the same time.

[daemonized]

[lord no]

Let's not joke about that, shall we?

[tarotcards]

Far too soon?

[daemonized]

You are skipping a step or two.

[tarotcards]

Don't they say that life is nothing but a bunch of shortcuts, however?

[daemonized]

Are you conspiring against me? That's mutiny.

[tarotcards]

Of course not. I wouldn't dream of doing such a thing against my own uncle.

I am merely suggesting that certain steps may be unnecessary to take. I only have your best interests in mind.

[daemonized]

"Hello, it's nice to meet you. Would you like to get married?" Is that what you mean?

[tarotcards]

It's straightforward and without any hidden intentions.

It just might work.

[daemonized]

You know what? I think you're right. Who should I ask first?
