[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.

Lucy Takada THAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I MEANT

[whyyyy]

[starfruitfrog]

Yuki Sato But if it's not a scam, then why? Is it just to make you feel sort of generally guilty? Have you tried checking the note for fingerprints?

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki .....

[ ...opposite... ]

Ryoji Mochizuki or
Ryoji Mochizuki you could come over to my place?
Ryoji Mochizuki if you want

[alienates]

Hmmm
Maybe you should see other people?
Or other countries.

[long_live_the_queen]

[screeching intensifies]

Lucy Takada NO
Lucy Takada and I don't want to know where you live

[It'd interfere with her very important task of sulking in a corner and staring at walls.]

[alienates]

I would trade it all away just for one extra second in your arms.
The general public is secondary to you.

[appraiser]

[ But Lucy, how are we supposed to become friends if you don't want to come over, and you don't want me to come over?!? ]

Ryoji Mochizuki we could go to a cafe together
Ryoji Mochizuki what's your favorite drink? dessert?
Ryoji Mochizuki it would be nice!

[parodeity]

Above everyone else's brothers, too?

[ that's sappy, dirk. ]

[parodeity]

you know what
ill ask him
maybe the project would cheer him up
and if everyone still goes wtf
at lest he will have a robot horse

[splinten]

Everyone else is missin' out with whoever their brothers are that fail in not bein' you.

[dirk loves dave TOO MUCH and never hesitates to say it]

[parodeity]

absolutely no one
its something to keep in mind for the future anyway

also my ma just told me she needs help bringing in groceries so i gotta jet
later el

[starfruitfrog]

She can always ask someone else to bite them. Science and research are important but not at the expense of your own safety.

We're gonna file this under 'posts that will be ironic after a few regains'

[standalonehuman]

That's why people are so sure that they're memories, not just dreams. They're triggered by something? Like a song on the radio reminding you of some time back in high school you've forgotten?

Then how can they be offering something like that as a prize? Pretty sure if somebody had cracked the problem of imperfect human recall and could get you to remember something at will, we'd have heard about it.

[rhapsodeity]

it couldnt ever be anything else :)

good!!!!!!!
talk to you later then????

[parodeity]

[ dirk gets a flustered face from his brother. ]

Dude. Anyway - smoothie???

[ he should probably also eat something but. smoothie! ]

[true_noir]

I'm rather happy seeing the lovely people in America. It's been enjoyable so far. And Britain is so far away that I only have to think about them when someone puts on a play.

File under posts that will be ironic when he gets more regains back.

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Okay. Maybe I'm stuck in the hacker mentality because this all started with the phones.
Hitori Togusa There's definitely something else going on, you can't just hack reality. Or even just people's perceptions of reality.
Hitori Togusa But whatever the real game is, we are the ones being targeted, we remember horses and the fruit. And the app is a nice way to keep tabs on all of us.
Hitori Togusa Who needs surveillance when we're telling the app everything that we're doing somewhat willingly?

[aegist]

that would make more sense.

anyway, i promised my best friend i'd go to his place, so i have to go.

[alienates]

Do you actually plan on staying here permanently or are you going to go back to France??
I'm assuming the latter since you said your family and your girlfriend are over there.

[true_noir]

The plan is for them to move over here eventually and to build a new life in this place, actually. The land of new opportunities and such.

[trivialization]

Seems not.

I can't disagree. No matter how great the problem, the scope of our encounter with it is limited the scope of our own lives.

Doesn't make it any more fun to think about though.

[erythristic]

that's strange, given that i saw such a wave of posts complaining about the change. do you remember horses all the way back into your childhood?

[long_live_the_queen]

[That does rather complicate things, it's true.]

Lucy Takada ask Minako since you're friends with her

[Though cookies are nice. And sweet things in general. She's not too picky, though.]

[starfruitfrog]

Wait but which one is a good opera? There are actually a lot....which is the most famous...

Or should I just pick one with funny lyrics?

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki you're right
Ryoji Mochizuki i'll ask Minako to come with us
Ryoji Mochizuki since we're all friends

[ and they're roommates? does Minako have the power to twist Lucy's arm into coming? he hopes so ]
