What's up, users! We've mostly fixed the technical problems we were having earlier (unless Danny missed something again) but you might want to wear green. Also, I'm supposed to make a vague and mysterious informational post here but that sounded boring so I made a video presentation instead! Watch on YouTube Cheers! Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated As of this post all apples, oranges, lemons, and limes have been replaced in-universe as the silly dancing fruits shown above. This means that as with Chocobos all NPCs will insist this is how things have always been and history/movies/etc will back them up. In honor of St. Patrick's Day characters will find a request from Retrospec to upload a picture of themselves to the network in which they are wearing something green. They will find themselves shocked lightly by their device if they try to use it without complying. Rude? A non-triggered memory regain can be earned through participation in this post in honor of Lucy's birthday the holiday with proof of a single thread with at least five comments from your character. If you plan to redeem this, please submit it to our regains page with the explanation of "March freebie". This must be submitted before April to be valid! Regardless of whether or not a character earns the freebie, all characters will find a gold coin with the Retrospec logo on one side and a Chocobo on the other. On the outside edge of the coin they will find "Jim, put a meaningful quote here. - Janet" engraved in a beautiful font. The Chocobo will morph into a horse should your character obtain the memory regain from the event; it will stay a Chocobo if your character does not obtain the memory regain. Please see our OOC information post HERE for some information and reminders - you can direct any questions about this post there! 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. 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.

Go ahead and find out. Report back.

oho! someone's interested.iI can feel the sadistic intent!
being fruit killers might go on our record though
do you want to proceed?

[godcards]

It's not going on anyone's record. It's fruit.

Just do it already.

[ghostories]

so demanding!

[ She sends a photo of a bitten apple.

It's still happy??? ]

hm. i don't think that looks right.

[godcards]

I don't think it feels pain... that could be why. Possibly you did not bite hard enough.

Though knowing this company, most likely the changed fruit do not feel at all and will continue to be happy, despite being consumed.

[ghostories]

you think i was being gentle? lol
that's sad
but i'm a little envious, too
this company's capable of a lot of things, isn't it?

[godcards]

It was a suggestion. How am I supposed to know if you're a fruit sadist?

They're capable of too much, if this really is their doing. Though with all this fooling around, one wonders what their actual purpose is.

[ghostories]

i'm not too fond of conspiracy theories
but i'm considering getting into them if it'll help me understand
alternatively, we could all just be going crazy

[godcards]

It would be a select group of people going crazy. Most people don't seem to care or notice the changes... I don't think this is a group hallucination, however. Something is definitely going on.

[ghostories]

the problem is what that "something" is
if they can change reality at the drop of a hat
then i don't think this is something the mayor can handle!

[godcards]

That's putting it lightly... Does anyone trust the mayor to get anything done? Then again, there's not much that CAN be done about smiling fruit, I suppose. Let alone anything bigger.

[ghostories]

i guess all we can do now is wonder if we can talk to janet
i hope she's not marrying jim
