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.

If he ever becomes that obsessed with his students, report him to the police. You’ll be saving everyone a world of trouble.

It’s going down as smoothly as three shots of tequila.

Hope the whole demon tattoo business doesn’t fuck him up too badly.
But can't say I didn’t warn him.

[hjack69]

you know i have no idea whether hes going to handle it great or whine the whole time tbh
i mean i handled my wrist thing great but i was also RIPPED at the time so
hey good question
can i show up ripped
i mean depending on the day of the week we do this ill probably already be ripped anyway so can we like combine those two or

[orbweaver]

Show up ripped, show up wearing your favorite tutu, show up holding hands with a lover. As long as I’m being paid, I don’t care.

If you want my professional advice though, don’t do it. A bit of blood and pain won’t kill you.

You might even find it liberating.

[hjack69]

see i could make this weird but i dont know you well enough for that
i just want it to go acknowledged that there was great joke material there and i didnt go for it bc im polite
have my arm done in two places tho im p sure i can handle it

unrelated but hey how about we get to know each other better sometime

[orbweaver]

Spare me the etiquette and make things as weird as you want.
Believe me, I can handle that too.

Sure. I’m curious to see for myself what kinda guy you are, anyway.

[hjack69]

well as a start im hilarious and i keep it real
id like to swing around the shop and talk out the design sometime soon anyway
hows lunch sound
dont worry ill tell you alllllllll about myself people tell me im really good at that

[orbweaver]

Brilliant. With your ability to keep it real and my undying love of traveling, hiking, food and air, I can already tell that we’re really going to hit it off.

You can find me at the shop most weekdays from nine to six. Call if you want to be safe.

1. Haters are people who are going to try and tell you to be someone that you’re not.
Trolls can be haters but they’re better known for delivering you 15 pizzas and getting you pay for them.
2. I can tell you’re a smart one already.
3. Of course it is. [ This may seem to go against what she’s saying in #2, but really. She just has a complete disregard for concepts like internet safety beyond passwords. ] Makes it easier for the people you've met to recognise you.

[concern]

1. I'm inclined to ignore people like this anyway.
2. Thank you!
3. It just seems so...invasive? And I'm also unsure about whether or not people will really care about the salad I'm eating right now.

[orbweaver]

You’d be surprised by the things people care about. Beet quinoa salads, neatly organized school notes, unnecessarily large makeup collections, mounds of rubbish.

What do you know, people like to live vicariously through others. Can’t say I blame the poor bastards.

Time for me to put things in perspective. There’s nothing going. I mean, nothing. I call a guy in LA, he blows me off. I call a guy in Houston? Same thing. Rinse and repeat until I've exhausted all my contacts.

Guess I’m stuck having fun solely in Recolle now.

[me_matey]

the well's that dry, huh? i guess desperate times call for desperate measures.

[orbweaver]

Ah, well. Shit happens.

I know you're always able give me a through report on what’s been happening in the city. Been busy lately?

[me_matey]

i had some good sales during booth set up the other day, but the fuzz got wise to me so i had to shut it down. mostly people just really excited about founders day stuff. supposedly something real big is planned for the parade, but they say that every year.

[orbweaver]

Did they? Haven’t been paying much attention.
Always plenty of business opportunities, but those workaholics know that better than anyone.

Know I’ll be spending most of my time making sure Recolle moves to the beat of good music. A personal Founder’s Day tradition, at this point.

[me_matey]

ooooh that sounds like its gonna be sweet, lemme in on that

[orbweaver]

I’ll need to know what you actually want first. Entry into the clubs, or the job of being my personal assistant?

You know, you can always do both if you're in a mood to overachieve.

[me_matey]

ehh, no offense, but i prefer being my own boss

I don’t deceive, Arlene.
My reputation would go down the drain if I did.

Besides. Do you really want the pretty lie over the harsh truth?

[twelfthspark]

Hey, I'm an actress. When you think about it, pretty lies are what I do. 🎭

[orbweaver]

Part of me would like to say that I’m surprised, but Honest Aranea isn’t my nickname for no good reason.

What’s the best pretty lie you’ve ever told?

thanks Abi for the suggestions

[twelfthspark]

[Aw, crap. Nothing that took place off-campus, other than a minor role in the Founders' Day pageant one year. Oh well, own it.]

Ooh, tough call. We put on Macbeth last semester and that was *so* fun. But I think Hedda Gabler was my best so far.

[She always seems to end up in the villainous roles. Can't complain when the one she's playing is also the star, though.]

[orbweaver]

[ Obviously, she’s heard of Macbeth. She hadn’t been lucky enough to avoid the years of Shakespeare. And though she appreciates the knowledge a tad more than before, Aranea’s still relatively uncultured when it comes to literature. ]

Tell me more about Hedda. What makes her so special?
