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?]

Hello, everyone. Hope all the students out there are enjoying their Spring Break (I certainly am). Since it's Women's History Month, I thought I'd give a few interesting facts.

Jin Xing (1967 - present) is a Chinese trans woman who knows five languages, and she's a famous ballerina, modern dancer, choreographer, actress, talk show host, and owner of the Shanghai Jin Xing Dance Theatre, which is a contemporary dance company. She's also famous for being outspoken in her contempt for a trend in Chinese media to try dramatizing and exploiting people's pain. She does amazing work in China, so I certainly recommend checking her out if you're at all interested.

Ada Lovelace (1815 - 1852) was the first programmer. At 17, she speculated that the "Analytical Engine," a very rudimentary computer, could potentially do more than just basic mathematical functions.

Katherine Johnson (1918 - present) is an African-American woman who plotted the trajectory for the Apollo 11 flight to the moon and for Mike Shepard, the first man in space. Now that she's retired, she teaches at a university and encourages her students into pursuing the science and technology fields.

Ellen Ochoa (1958 - present) became the first Hispanic woman in space. She flew on the Discovery for a nine-day mission, and later became the first Hispanic and second woman to be the director of NASA's Johnson Space Center.

I haven't even scratched the surface of the contributions women around the world have made. If you've got the time, I absolutely recommend taking a look at what countless other women have done and are doing. Their hard work shouldn't be forgotten or overshadowed.

Sweet Charlotte Sakata was kind enough to model my new skirt design. ❤ I'm not sure if I'll put it up for sale on the shop, but I am fond of it.

Two questions for Beta Squad.

Have you had Retrospec deliver anything to you that didn't feel like it was yours?
Has anyone tried returning things to Retrospec?

For the record, if you received anything that had a tag of Yuri's Angels attached, no, I didn't send it, no, I don't want it, no, I'm not a spy, no, I don't have a fanclub, no, it isn't a freaking religious affiliation and no, I don't have a secret admirer at Retrospec anymore than I have an explanation for why this happened.

Anyone who feels like trying a return lmk.

Edit: Anyone else named Yuri please contact me ASAP, tyvm.

furtherforward

LISTEN UP. Retrospec can read this all they like, I don't care. their cameras were trained on me the entire time I combed through their office anyway. they INVITED me there. so here I am, putting my findings out here so that all users can access it. you can respond helpfully, or cower behind your phones in silence, and to what end? Retrospec already knows about your precious secrets. or have you gnats forgotten that already??

respond if you know any of the following names:
Dante Sparda
Irene Greenland
Machi Tobaye
Jyushimatsu Ono
Matt Miller

give me evidence that you know them, and we can talk more. don't waste my time with "OOOH I MET THEM ONCE"s if there's no substance. a single detail about their history will suffice as proof.

and since I expect the lot of you to share any information you find in the future, in this fashion... what the REST of you need to know is that I found files on these people in an unlocked room in the Retrospec building. apparently some of these people were once Retrospec users, but for some reason they're not anymore. (you can extend your gratitude to Dave for sorting through all of your nonsense to locate posts by these people.) these files documented their personal histories. DETAILED, by the way. are they accurate? that's what I'm trying to figure out.

ohhh right: the note pictured was clipped only to that file. make of this what you will.

Two important notes:

1) We should come together to discuss everything that we've found out about Retrospec, both the app and the company. I've just received something that might be a clue and a start somewhere but I'd rather not discuss this or show what it is over the network. I will be in Recolle Square by the fountain for the entire day to share any of my information. I hope others will come as well.

2) Share your favourite animal videos and then rate them with others. Bonus points if they're cats.

I'll start with mine. I'll, of course, rate this 11/10.

( ooc: this is in regards to the letter Souji got from Retrospec to prep for the beauty pageant event! There is a log here for those who want to share everything they know about Retrospec so far or to learn more, which will be an open mingle. For this network post, feel free to threadjack and tag others! We gotta rate and judge everyone's videos, right? )

While the power was out, I apparently missed the updates on the Dior showing for the Fall 2017 line. I rather like the haute couture trend toward fantasy lately. It's certainly allowed for more creativity in terms of actual sold items, outside of runway pieces.

um so! >___>;;;;;
as you can see in this video, i have some dancing and smiling fruit
i checked the orange, if you look on the left side, it is peeled a little bit......
it smells like an orange and ummmmmm
it tastes the same as one too........
the apple, lemon and lime also check out
i received these in a package today, it was addressed to me, and it was from retrospec
i am hoping someone else either has seen this before or received a similar package so if you did please contact me as soon as possible
if you have seen a mutation (i suppose!!!!) like this before please let me know
admittedly, i am sort of curious to see if this can be replicated.........
it is so incredibly strange!

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! ♥

hello, everyone! :)
as many of us are aware, the senior class at recolle high school will be graduating soon, and well....
i am part of that class!
i guess because of this fact, i have been thinking that it is maybe time for me to be a bit more independent than i have been, and find a job
this is pretty easy in theory but i find that there is a problem that is maybe not much of a problem to some people but it has been giving me something to think about lol
namely, i do not know what to expect and how difficult getting my first job will be :o
if you have advice, i would definitely like to hear it!!!!
on the other hand, i would like to know what your first job was like, as a blanket sort of thing

ummm, so i guess to make this more concise, i have a few questions!
what was your first job?
what was getting it like?
would you recommend it to someone looking for a first job?

thank you all in advance <3

Disclaimer. DO NOT MESSAGE ME IF YOU INTEND ON FUCKING AROUND.

Has anyone seen this wallet? Specifically last night from the hours of around 8:00pm to 3:00am in downtown Tisse. You'll know it's mine when you see the pictures of Jade and/or Elizabeth. Or, you know, the goddamn credit cards with my name on it. There's a reward for anyone that so happens to conveniently "locate it" and brings it back to me.

Another disclaimer. DO NOT ASK ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THE FUCK IT WAS LOST IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Thank you for your time.

[ anyone who was with Bigby last night (hopefully adults...) will probably know how and why he lost his wallet. he got drunk. no one will likely know that Bigby is currently dealing with the worst hangover imaginable. that is because he texts like this all the time.

please feel free to "not ask questions" or message him to "not fuck around". ]

Yosuke Hanamura shared a video.
02/15 near Recolle High

[ The first thing that should be obvious to anyone viewing this video is that Yosuke Hanamura (

youraffection) is not alone. The second thing may be that he is having a very bad day. It’s a shot of him literally tied to the bottom of the school’s flagpole with several layers of rope that Eleanor Lamb (

notyourutopian) has just finished tying off. Standing off to one side is Yukiko Amagi (

burningblossoms), holding up a small sign stating: 'Local Boy learns a valuable lesson about consent.' She doesn’t say anything yet, but there’s a grimly satisfied look on her face as she looks at the camera.

Yosuke groans, trying to duck his head and hide his face. But let’s be real, who else would it be?

Eleanor gives the ropes a firm jerk once the knot is tied, to make sure they won't come loose without help, and then steps a bit to the side, her hands on her hips as she not-quite-glares at Yosuke. ]

So, Yosuke. What have we learned today?

[ Yosuke grimaces, what’s left of his dignity probably properly trampled under their shoes by now. ] Are you kidding me...?

[ Eleanor glances from him to the camera to Yukiko, then back to him. ] The sooner you answer, the sooner this is all over.

[ Yosuke sighs, hanging his head. ] "Ask first"...

Mmhmm. Ask first because...?

Because if I don’t someone’s going to steal my phone and take embarrassing videos--hey, wait--are you live streaming???

( Boy we sure are livestreaming! This can only end well... )

all right fuck it
i was trying to avoid being That Crazy Person
but clearly everyone else is doing really well at sanity chicken
all edging around the topic or not bringing it up
or possibly it not being an issue for the majority though i am PRETTY fucking sure i can confirm it happening for at least like
nearly ten people maybe i dont know
so im just going to commit to my role as the crazy conspiracy theory guy
get me a whiteboard and some string you all
im ready to mark it up
wave goodbye sadly to my good name and all that
watch it circle the drain as i dump it in the toilet and watch it flush away
so anyway here we go

raise your fucking hand if youve had a very vivid hallucination of some sort
that felt super real
since you got this app
about a thing you definitely never remember yourself doing
also if youre going to go dave you sound like youve lost it
at least link me something entertaining off the internet to add some spice to what is sure to be a pretty common response
it isnt like yo remember when horses were a thing makes any of us sound any less ridiculous
so
admittedly i guess i could sound crazier
theres like a scale here
shit i should make a scale ill do that later
anyway

raise your hands or dont
go
