[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.

[Dirk obviously rides up on a motorbike because Dirk is that stereotype of a cool other brother except that he isn't cool at all.]

Hop on, baby bro.

[There's a helmet offered? It's Dave's helmet for his personal use.]

[fashionable_yapping]

I think the parents'd think I was weird if I did that. I'll just have to put up with it for now. It's not like the chocobo thing was that bad. This is definitely weirder, though.

[At least cutting the fruits' faces in the kitchen was kinda fun. But she's not about to mention that. She doesn't want others to know that side of her.]

[fashionable_yapping]

[Does he really have to be that boring?]

Nina Écarlate Yeah, it worked. But you know, you can upload a picture of yourself to your profile. Give them an idea of what you look like.

[rhapsodeity]

even if i were guaranteed to say yes, i would not want someone putting me on the spot like that

but also this isnt as important as the fruit so if thats all you wanted to talk about i am going to inspect this situation further!

[parodeity]

[ dirk is the least cool older brother but luckily...dave loves him anyway. he will put on his helmet. ]

What were you doin' today, anyway?

[spes_phthisica]

Soujirou Katsuki at least most candy doesn't actually have real fruit in it
Soujirou Katsuki i mean have you ever eaten a pear candy that even tasted like real pear
Soujirou Katsuki i guess we can just check candy to make sure there's only artificial stuff in them right??

[wordcarvings]

You could always say that you wanted to see something new in the morning? Yes, I suppose.

[ The chocobo's were just as troublesome from a painter's perspective, even worse since they were harder to fix. ]

[spes_phthisica]

well i'm not dead yet ;) and my teeth are fine

this is the grossest thing i've ever done
they're still MOVING even though theyre falling apart

y i'm studying at the university why

[spes_phthisica]

honestly i haven't really gotten past "how" to "why" yet
i mean i do wonder what this is supposed to achieve
but it just seems so impossible to begin with

[spes_phthisica]

not my favorites either thankfully but it's still awful
ughhh
this is NOT what you're supposed to do if life gives you lemons :/

do you think
eating them is still okay or

[Say "yes" Kashuu, don't break his heart.]

[spes_phthisica]

[Look, he doesn't give a crap about fashion, but he will absolutely 100% go all in for every silly holiday he can. And since he doesn't drink, this is the only way he can celebrate anyway.]

Soujirou Katsuki haha it's just a lot of fun to dress up
Soujirou Katsuki a lot of friendly people usually want to talk to you when you do
Soujirou Katsuki and ask next time and i will take a picture of you ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡

[darkinferno]

are you kidding me

memory is the most overplayed part of that whole show

[openhanded]

do not DO NOT insult Memory where he can see it dude
it's super important to him for reasons I won't get into
that means it's important to me too

so while I'd normally agree with you on that point it's also untouchable

[darkinferno]

i'll keep that in mind

[He is so tempted. But he also doesn't want to be lectured at for two hours.

...so maybe he'll ask about it over the network where he can skim the inevitable tl;dr.]

[wordcarvings]

More than rude, they should get some manners and stop but I doubt they will better themselves soon.

[splinten]

Brainstorming plans for my robot that's going to kick Jack's robot's ass.

[Good kid, Dave. Once they are hopped on Dirk will kick off. There will be motorbiking through the streets? It is loud so no talking will happen, probably, but they won't be long before they hit a place where Dave will get his Just Reward.]

[legne]

Ridiculous? Such a close-minded accusation! What is the harm in expanding one's vocabulary and bellowing it forth into the abyss? [ Or typing it, as the case may be. ]

[legne]

I fear that may be our last resort. I can imagine no other means of daring escape from jiggling fruit in the forseeable future.

[alienates]

If you really want it to sting you should take a jab at something more personal.
For all you know they don't care about the monarchy so it wouldn't insult them that much.

[alienates]

[ ................ uh ]

Give me a topic.

[ he's stalling, he doesn't know how to be soothing. ]

[legne]

And, to my knowledge, horses are not generally seen as a light snack.

However, egads! You may well be correct! It is likely the next curse will be even more wide-ranging! It will no doubt hit our weak points for massive damage!! [ They could get the pineapples next time! ]

[ good thing ranko has a secret love of unhealthy crap ]

*long sigh while staring wistfully out the window into the dark and starless night*

If it wasn't for the current state of affairs, we'd still all be able to enjoy lemon tart, or apple pie...not that I need such sustenance! I absorb my energy from ancient runes, among other methods...

That aside, I believe cheesecake is safe from nefarious ends.

[wordcarvings]

I don't know if we can figure out the how yet. So wondering why is more productive. Or not productive perhaps. I don't know.

[legne]

Ranko Kanzaki That app is the originator of this sorry tale! I know it in my ancient bones!
Ranko Kanzaki I'd throw my entire device into the murky ocean, and be done with it all, if I hadn't signed an unbreakable contract with a higher power preventing me from doing so. [ aka the phone company ]

[legne]

Ranko Kanzaki Ah, but that is merely one piece of the puzzle.
Ranko Kanzaki For centuries, I have studied dead languages and forgotten folktales - all the better to elucidate my grim history upon an unsuspecting mortal populace!
