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.

ooookay. got it

pets are great but fruit isn't

the apple was apparently plotting to kill you

and you know, not dancing like all the other apples

[chiseler]

pretty sure annabeth would say the same about me
also your brother's like a nerd right? technology and horse conspiracy shit
I mean that in a good way before you say anything

[daemonized]

I think "productive" may be a very liberal use of the word.

Still, you're right. Let us all drown in the ridiculousness of it all, for we're still lacking the answers that we really want.

[trivialization]

That's the idea.

They look perfectly happy even when you're eating them, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

My sleepless nighttime ruminations are just a solid block of questioning my own sanity anyway.

[arahoushi]

This is officially the weirdest string of messages i've read or written in my entire life.

[youraffection]

so theyre multiplying?
wtf

[counteracts]

yeah...
so we're just left here to deal with the aftermath of... whatever is happening
great

[If the giant chickens and the smiling fruit are anything to go on, they're not going to like what's around the bend either.]

[liberal_arts]

At this point, I certainly hope so.

[chiseler]

yes and yes, I know. I don't know how to explain it. I don't know how to explain the dragon either but that one I at least have a witness for
and anyway you say that like dancing fruit wouldn't be hard to believe before this

[liberal_arts]

Wait.

You teach literature, but you're not familiar with King Crimson?

Oh no, I need to sit you down and listen to "In the Court of the Crimson King" from start to finish. You'll love it, I promise.

[chiseler]

would the government have the ability to change fruit and send us packages in the mail?
but to answer your question, no, not that I know of. one day I woke up and the building was just over in tisse. googling the company gives us nothing. for all we know they've been around for a really, really long time, you're right
how long does it take someone to make a social media app?

[chiseler]

your parents are pretty vintage, you're right
[Sorry, Wolfs.]
we'll pick a day and you can educate the rest of us. for now an unbiased opinion's all I need
so I'll see you later today? (hopefully my fruit downstairs won't scare people off...)

[loudmouths]

DO YOU NOT REALIZE HOW MESSED UP THAT SOUNDS???

[loudmouths]

Keigo Higashino ...
Keigo Higashino You just sound like one. All dramatic and verbose and whatnot...

[counteracts]

teach?
nah, I just like it. I'm still taking classes myself

but, hell, I'm always open for recommendations, so if you say so, I'll check it out

[admiringly]

oh then i will consider myself lucky that the timing is right!
in meeting you again and the cats!

well nothing
but it's exhausting to think bad things about them all the time
and i want to believe there's at least one good thing about them
so i don't feel like my phone is out to get me every time i use it

[chiseler]

could be an app that plays really annoying songs on autoplay
could be an app that sets all your snap filters to the dog face
or it could be something that's pulling all of our memories to warp them into something else
the possibilities are endless!

[chiseler]

I could use a pogo stick or two. beats driving and the buses around the bar are always like ten minutes behind

[chiseler]

how mad are you going to be if I said there's actually another person involved? like hypothetically and all that
I'm not that great with science but I know how to navigate my way into getting answers about stuff. that's close to science
been daydreaming about cutting lots of faces lately chuuya? I don't know if I hate that many people today but I might change my mind later

[killyoubastards]

[Oops. Anise feels a little bad now, because that's kind of what she was just doing... latching on to Ari for her fame, and not because she really knows anything about her.]

Anise Tatlin wow. that really does sound like it sucks.
Anise Tatlin well, if you ever want to like... meet up and hang out or something, I'd be happy to get to know you! ♥

[notyourutopian]

It's an apple.

Not a head.

[notyourutopian]

You don't usually 'puncture' an apple before you peel it, though.

[tokencanadian]

Agreed.
And we don't need to look more like fools then we already do anyway.

[uncagedbird]

[It's okay, she's pretty forgiving. Anise might latch onto a celebrity-- that's nothing new. But she's not some scheming character, nor is she a shadow haunting Bianca de Alessandro's house.]

Sarah Ariana Vittoria de Alessandro People in Recollé seem to care just a little less, I think. I don't really mind being recognized or talked to, even like this... It's not the same as at home.
Sarah Ariana Vittoria de Alessandro Still-- I'd like to get to know you, too! Do you like theatre? Fashion? What are you going to major in?
Sarah Ariana Vittoria de Alessandro Or maybe you don't know what you want to do yet. That's fine.

[notyourutopian]

Have you ever used one?
They aren't really good for distances.

Or anything really.
