[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.

Don't even think about playing cute with me.
Calling yourself a lamb is an insult to those poor bastards.
You're as much of a predator as I am and you know it.

… I am cute, tyvm. You keep missing the memo because you’ve never see me sober.

People just misunderstand me because they focus on my tats, not what’s on the inside.
The tragedy of life, writing itself.

I'll pass on seeing you sober for the time being, thanks.
Or at all, I guess?
But that might be too demanding.

[ he'll never admit that he doesn't mind Aranea's company... most of the time. never. that would cause so many infractions within Bigby's own book of ethics and morals. ]

Better that they focus on your tats than tits.
But again, what did I say about playing cute?
Your skin could be scrubbed clean and I would still know better than to think there's something I need to know about what's "on the inside".

[orbweaver]

I know the other cops have told you to stop denying your true feelings. We’re going to have to work on that together.

[ She knows that fact very well, Bigby. Very well.

Why do you think she’s being so annoying? ]

Thought the point of your job was to look beneath the surface, detective.
Don’t tell me I’ve been seeing you as Bogart from The Maltese Falcon for nothing.

[puffing]

Okay, you're wording that awfully weird and definitely on purpose.
Please stop.

[ Aranea enjoys making him uncomfortable. this is clear. they both know this. yet, that knowledge does little to make him not uncomfortable. ]

You're also profiling me by my job, doll.
I'd like to think I'm my own man.
No disrespect to Bogart or anything.

[orbweaver]

See, being profiled doesn’t feel very good at all, does it?

Lemme leave you alone now.
Remember the next time you see me that I take free shots as tokens of apology.

[puffing]

Oh hell no.
You don't get to fuck with me and then proceed to try and guilt me in the same text message.
Pick one method of abuse and stick with it, god dammit.

[ even though he really did feel bad for no reason. HE WASN'T EVEN PROFILING. Aranea's too good at this manipulation thing. ]

[orbweaver]

Of course I can, detective.
It’d be shameful if I didn’t use every tool at my disposal.

[puffing]

There's got to be better ways for you to spend your time.
I know you can't get enough of talking to me, but you should probably go back to tattooing people.
Or doing that shady shit you pretend to know absolutely nothing about.
