[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.

I hope she was never dating him in the first place.
There are some things you just don't do.

Chloe Bouchard I am going to assume it is just pulp
Chloe Bouchard That is far more comfortable than the alternative
Chloe Bouchard And bananas are safe, it would seem

[rhapsodeity]

just take it step by step
if anything happens tomorrow then you think about it
for right now i think you are getting kind of scared and well......
it will be ok!

[tuffguy]

wait they can wink?
i'm not sure if i like knowing that now

[sharplydressed]

omg please

like for their own sake as much as for the sake of these weird fruits

their little faces make me feel guilty somehow

[Karl has just uploaded an photograph of himself holding up one of these new "apples," his expression uncharacteristically solemn in amusing contrast to the exuberant fruit. The picture is poorly lit and has clearly been taken by standing front of a mirror and pointing his phone at it. And because he is a total grandpa who doesn't know how apps work, he has managed to make it his profile picture instead of merely uploading it. Wow, Karl.]

[Incidentally, he's wearing a large green shamrock-shapped lapel pin on his usual black collared shirt, thereby fulfilling the dress code requirement entirely by accident.]

Karl Bergfried I have avoided using this application up until now because of the company's poor taste in so-called "viral marketing" tactics, but this has gone too far.
Karl Bergfried Please explain how and why you have broken into the Saint Anthony's rectory building and replaced all of the apples in our kitchen with these ridiculous objects.

Chloe Bouchard I believe that I have become a banana sort now
Chloe Bouchard My diet may go through regular changes at this rate

[aegist]

I didn't say I liked it, I said I assume that the usual properties of fruit still apply to the fruit.

[commandertoolbelt]

if you want to know for sure there's this tried and true method to finding out

[ look he's being helpful ]

[appraiser]

oh! good
the questions is for how long though?
i don't know, Jade... if your hallucinomemories are becoming reality, we might have to keep an eye on rabbits next
and whatever featured in that third dream you didn't want to talk about
at least tell me it isn't anything worse

[sharplydressed]

i'll give you a waste of grocery money, but yeah there's no way you'd be wasting good fruit there

anyway unless janet's the one making things all crazy, anyone would deserve better than a guy who makes awful coins and a video like that ^^^

that's a literal mess

[true_noir]

Horses are not in my home. Now it is sitting there, smiling and dripping from my sodding, orange-juice soaked broom. There was a little distance before, if you will.

The screwdriver will never be the same.

[wiselys]

By the time we find him, you may just be the most kickass actual lawyer.

What if I find him and punch him? Will you represent me in the ensuing physical assault case?

[divine_braid]

WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO THE FRUIT?

[rhapsodeity]

stop trying to scare frisk!!
i think the new apple logo is pretty sweet though

[true_noir]

I appear to be safe in this. I looked at my own grapes, and there was no sign of changes. I will be vigilant, though. I do not wish to think of my mother's wine this way.

[trueend]

yes but
i liked apples and oranges more :(

[longwei2go]

if she wasnt then this is extra creepy
in which case
i hope she goes right for the restraining order
fuck

[chiseler]

oh my god why do you BOTH resort to punching people
I mean go for it, I won't stop you but oh my god

[truedetective]

I suppose it's too much to hope this is some sort of practical joke on your part?

[commandertoolbelt]

and that's probably the freakiest mental image to come out of this whole thing, just saying

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Okay, then. Since I'm dealing with a professional, here. What makes a rich jerk hacker go rogue like this? You have the talent and ability to mess with people. But you can only do it on a small scale because of your lack of resources.
Hitori Togusa But then one day, someone bankrolls you. This isn't the inevitable end result?

[magcat]

tell me if it works! i almost feel bad turning such happy fruits into pies though..... will it really be okay?

[aegist]

The video isn't even romantic? Not that I'm an expert on Romance, but like. If you're proposing to someone throw in some hearts? Maybe some flowers?

Maybe also don't do it in a bad youtube video but if you have to...

[truedetective]

I've narrowed it down to either mass hallucination, or... ...to be honest, I don't yet have an alternative.
