[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.

what about

ok i know this might be a hard concept but bear with me

no phones

[youraffection]

omg
are you asking me to be disconnected from society
i have social obligations here ok

[browbeater]

[continued from here]

you have a pretty low expectation for what's private vs. public information. yes, i have a junk mail account that i send all social media and coupon email to

but also it's weird for that plus my cell phone number plus my real name to be tied together

[rosettareflected]

I'm an actress of limited renown and my father is a director of markedly MORE renown. I'm morally certain someone knows who we are and what our phone numbers are. It doesn't shock me that I'd end up involved in something, it's just a new medium for me.

class is not the word i associate with french

french maid
french kissing

i'm sure there are others but you get my drift

[beastenderblood]

Wow way to be judgemental towards a respectable profession. Maids work hard to support themselves and I'm disgusted that you don't admire their determination.

[browbeater]

don't change the subject!

[beastenderblood]

Don't you ignore your shame of snap prejudice buster.

But like seriously I think french kissing is more of a "passion" thing. Which I think is also a french thing?

[browbeater]

are you saying junkies don't have passion

[beastenderblood]

CONNOISSEURS have lots of passion.

[browbeater]

well

honestly we're a long way from your phone and penchant for exploding, and while debating the semantics between connoisseurs, aficionados, junkies has been fun

your phone could still explode and i guess that is more appealing to you than me

i hope so

my brother suggested i talk about anything except airplane food so i took that as a challenge

[openhanded]

are you gonna talk about airplane food then?

[browbeater]

yep. still working on it but i think i've got a solid routine

[openhanded]

good luck. I'm not really much of a comedian or else I'd give you some advice.

what day is it? if I don't have sword class I can cheer you on!

[browbeater]

last friday of february

[to say he was looking forward to it would be... an understatement.]

see you there?

[openhanded]

heck yeah!!! I'll be there! I might bring my friend if that's ok

[browbeater]

[continued from here]

i'll be doing crowd control.

i didn't have any big plans so it works out for the people who've got families

[standalonehuman]

I know a couple of us were doing the same thing. I tried to grab as many shifts as I could.

But I guess that means it should be easy to run into you this weekend, then?

[browbeater]

i thought all of us were gonna be out there

well

i know i want the holiday pay at least... so yeah, we should see each other.

[the... what. he considered himself pretty solid on general... knowledge, but everything she'd just said went straight over his head. so he decided to focus on the introduction]

nice to meet you, i'm mako. so, are you one of the folks involved with the university or the shelter? that's who i'm seeing the most of right now

[caelestialis]

It's a pleasure to meet you and unfortunately I'm not a teacher for the university. I work over at the elementary school. 👩‍ 🏫 📚

I take it that you're not part of those as well? I definitely think I would remember you in the university since I have a lot of friends who are colleagues there.

[browbeater]

no, i had to drop out

you know, as you sometimes do.

[caelestialis]

Oh! I see.

What are you doing these days then? [ she won't ask why he dropped out or when he dropped out. it seems very rude to pry that much into someone's life. scattered as ainsley maybe at times, she has some semblance of manners. ]
