Hello, Recollé!

Have you ever stepped in front of a mirror and went "man, I look good today"? Have you ever been constantly complimented on your appearance by your friends, family, and people on the streets? Or have you ever thought that you should get paid every time that you make someone swoon?

Well, if any of those happened to you, then look no further!

Sponsored by everyone's favourite social media company, Retrospec, Recollé will be hosting its Mr., Miss, and Crossdressing Retrospec™ Pageant!

Sign yourself up or your friends* to show off your good looks! Don't think you're the modern day equivalent of Aphrodite? Don't worry because personalities can put up a good fight too! Let that inner beauty shine out!

Feeling nervous about all the competition and afraid that your chances of winning are too low? Don't worry, we got your back! Because you can join multiple sections of the pageant!

Think you can rock both a suit in the Mr. section and a cute skirt in the crossdressing section? Then sign up for both! A drop-dead gorgeous dress in the Miss section but a rugged biker look in the crossdressing section? Then go for it! There are absolutely no limitations on sign-ups! Just sign up quick because the event will be held one week from now on March 25th, so don't miss your chance of a lifetime!

All winners will receive one chance to remember, but keep in mind, this event is open to the public, so don't let some random person take away your opportunity to remember something important!

So what are you waiting for? Sign up today and have the world see you for how beautiful you really are!

* Please make sure the person you are signing up really wants to go through with the event. Moderators of the pageant cannot check with everyone to see if they willingly signed up. Thank you.

( ooc: this is the ic sign-up post for the beauty pageant player plot! ooc sign-ups are here! it is not mandatory to tag this post to join the event, but it is mandatory to comment on the ooc post, so head on over if you wanna join! )

What do you think of this swimsuit? Do you like laser cats? Would you wear this? This is of critical importance for me to know. Thank you for your time.

you ever have something happen to you that you're like "nah that'll never happen to me" but then here you are, plus one dog and feeling the weight of parental responsibility on your shoulders? i'm too young for this. anyway this is ruffles at the dog park just now! retrospec's width limitations suck but, you can probably tell he's a really good dog. well, i guess, with his previous owner and all. so i pose this question to you: do you think animals can feel sad and do they miss people that are no longer here?

[are you talking about yourself or the dog, prompto?]

I received this from Retrospec this morning in the mail. I think there's been a mistake in addresses or something since I don't think I've ever owned this before. Is somebody looking for this necklace? It's lovely and all but there's something about this that makes me feel a little eerie.

[When you wake up on this fine morning and check your Retrospec feed, you'll find... Russian spam? It begins - ]

Доброе утро. Меня зовут Аня. [ - and it continues on from there, resulting in a full paragraph.

For anyone who can read Cyrillic, they'll find the following message: Good morning. My name is Anya. Is anyone able to understand this? I recognize it as Cyrillic, as Russian, however I don't recall ever being able to speak this language. I woke up and suddenly it's all I knew. If the people on here remember horses, maybe they remember me speaking differently? Properly? Maybe? Please let me know.

In an entirely separate text, she tries again. In two more languages.]

おはようございます。私の名前はAnyaです。わかりますか？これは日本語です。でも昨日でAnyaは日本語を話しません。

[ - and that also goes on. An English message, with the same approximate fluency level as the Japanese, to explain the whole situation is finally provided at the end. Third try's the charm?]

good morning. my name is anya. i am sorry to try again but i am confused. today i know how to speak russian and japanese. the russian is easy but the japanese is harder. english is also harder now. even though yesterday i only spoke english?

??? why?

if the people here remember horses do they remember the anya that did not know russian? please help. please. thank you.

( + action options! )

[ ooc: anya's regain was her canon language tick! an example can be found here! complete with sprinkles of Russian and accent. an additional note is that if you hover over the different alphabets, the exact translation should come up! AND FINALLY, Anya's hair used to be the lightest shade of the blonde in the world - and now it's gone full silver, but that's the least of her problems.]

TODAY'S A SPECIAL DAY! It's my brother Minato's birthday.

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, NATTO ♥ I'LL ALWAYS BE TWO MINUTES OLDER THAN YOU ♪

To celebrate I'm going to perform my sacred Big Sister Duties and share some (potentially embarrassing) pictures from when we were young (๑ゝڡ◕๑)

I know he looks super cute and pouty in that first pic (clinging to our daycare teacher's leg and smushing his cheek like that, how adorable right?! He said he felt too lazy to walk by himself!) but look at how smol and tsun he is here too. He took ages to actually pet the dog. Probably because he's more of a cat person, so it was only nyaatural I suppose (◡ω◡✿)

Here's a few more. The sleepy faced one is my favorite ヾ(≧∇≦*)ゝ I can't count the number of times I had to poke the back of his head to wake him up. Our teachers scolded him for it but he always did good in class anyways, and proved everyone who thought he was a slacker wrong. He was so clever even back then. He probably helped me ten times more than I had to poke his head in class!

Haha, that's probably enough embarrassment, right? I'd better stop now or else I never will!

I love you, Minato. You will always be my most important person.

Anyways I wanted to end this by saying since it's my birthday too, and I'm FINALLY allowed to drink legally here, I'm going to go bar hopping tonight. Tomorrow's a school day so I can't party TOO hard, but if anyone wants to join, message me, okay? Arisato, out! ♥

So. Say you get a thought. And it FEELS so real you think it could be. But there's no way it could be. That's weird, right?
