[recollecters]

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.

suddenly I regret moving out of my mom's house

couldn't they trash something that's so horrible it can't be trashed?
like
uh
rock me amadeus or something

[voicelessresistance]

Honestly?
If not individually, he had to at least be involved.
Otherwise this is a remarkable coincidence.

[erythristic]

i don't want a song for my proposal. i want something intimate, private. a moment that exists only between us. even if it's just turning to me one day when we're alone and asking me if i'd consider offering my hand.

[erythristic]

noah said that? i don't think you have a reason to lie to me, but that sounds so unlike him that it's hard to take in.

[Noah telling someone that? either they deserved it or he must have been possessed by the worst mood known to man. being occasionally irritable and stern didn't mean he went around verbally attacking people. no wonder Ardyn dislikes him, though.]

if he has any grace, he'll make amends and take the consequences. be it the result of aggressive insanity or something else. i'm sorry to your student for it.

[truedetective]

That depends on which of us is remembering incorrectly.

Some technology far beyond anything I've heard of, that's for sure.

[truedetective]

That is the crux of the matter, isn't it? Is the app hypnotizing us, and horses never really existed. Or, is it inoculating us to the effects of something else, and they did?

[truedetective]

You remember a memory-altering fog? I hope you do see why that's particularly hard to believe.

[truedetective]

I suppose that is your prerogative to do.

[true_noir]

You want to puzzle this out somehow, don't you? I envy that resolve, but I don't know if I can be much help for you. At least for now. But if I happen to see something new, do you wish to hear about it? Maybe you can help puzzle it out.

[At the very least, she felt like Naoto was more qualified than she was. She was just a florist, after all.]

[sharplydressed]

exactly! (`A´) steak already had a face once, don't give it another after it's been cut into pieces

[Why... Just, Why™.]

anyway that's stupid but it makes a lot of sense i guess
they obviously don't care about customer input and probably don't want to be drowned in @s

[okitactless]

constantly ditching people to go after the newest shiny thing, yeah, sounds right

[#NEVER OVER IT

...and rude, how dare you bring up that memory Ryusei?? GET OUT]

what like from ages ago, or are people still doing that? [he says, like he wouldn't still be doing it if he didn't have a very important grudge to be petty about]

[okitactless]

does anybody know when this company was actually started? they couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere and taken over everybody's phones, unless they're government or something

[clear_eyes]

I'll have to check it out, definitely. I can deal with melancholy.

[clear_eyes]

It might not be a bad idea to ask that out in the open sometime. If we ever run out of leads, I mean.

[clear_eyes]

... I think I would, to be honest. Even if it changed things. It'd be better to know things were going to get a bit better.

[thirtybits]

omg that's actually really sweet you weren't supposed to say something so cute!!

[furtherforward]

that's to be expected. if you really want something, nothing this trivial should keep you from it. even if it makes you "heartless" about fruit.

since you're such a great enabler of my spree-serial killing, I might have to go for it. this lime I found is begging to be my next victim, after all.

[erythristic]

i thought you wanted me to answer honestly.

[liberal_arts]

And if it isn't, well.

I guess confusion will be my epitaph.

[erythristic]

i don't think it likely that a man who works for a company who made a phone app - a very persistent, strange app, but an app nonetheless - could replace entire species overnight. there's got to be something much deeper involved, but don't ask me what it is. spontaneous mutations aren't my specialty.

[daemonized]

He intended to apologize, or so he told me. [To be completely fair, he has to at least admit that much. And yet-]

But that doesn't change the fact that Mr. Argentum did not deserve to be addressed in such a way. I think the boy already suffers from self-doubt and self-esteem issues; you can imagine his reaction to being told that he might as well die, just because he was wondering about the extent of an /injury/ that he was sporting.

[starfruitfrog]

Right?
This is fun! I wonder if they'll sing anything else. Have you tried? Has anyone else tried? I can't believe Youtube isn't just filling up with videos of fruit singing.

[madcuriosity]

But I don't want to be called mad.

[Action]

[madcuriosity]

COMIIIING! [He can hear from upstairs as Alice hurries down the stairs.]

[starfruitfrog]

Yuki Sato Huh.

....so it is supposed to be about you? But what's the point if you don't even know who Young-Joo Kim is? Wouldn't it be better if the note was "Remember Young-Joo Kim? Of course not, but here's a folder of newspaper clippings I collected so read it and educate yourself."

Or is that too heavy to tape onto someone's back?

Yuki Sato Are you sure someone isn't just out to scam you or something? Kind of sounds like a scam.
