[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 is clinically proven to be unable to say no to Minako in the vast majority of cases, it's true.]

Lucy Takada if it'll make you shut up whatever

Oh, to be sure. All I want is just a chance to meet them face to face, is all.

[frostythehitman]

Well, bananas are kind of a weird fruit.

Maybe it doesn't affect weird fruit? Like weird shaped stuff with strange peels. Starfruit and dragonfruit, maybe lychee? They're hard to get, but who knows, they may be the only safe fruits left.

[frostythehitman]

James Barnes Magical flying animals?

[ Well. It's certainly weirder than what he saw. ]

[starfruitfrog]

Yuki Sato What's so gross about it, then?
Yuki Sato And it's GROSS because it's GROSS isn't a reason.

[belligerentwarrior]

don't you get it in your head that i'm giving up fruit because of this. you're gonna have to live with the apples.

[long_live_the_queen]

I just don't want to look at the stupid things, okay?

[belligerentwarrior]

just grab a tall cardboard box from work. there, peace reigns again.

[long_live_the_queen]

I'm not putting it on my head

[sharplydressed]

you know, it says a lot that life here has gotten so anime lately that i could totally believe that's actually going to happen in the future

but i guess you're prepared! ☆*ヾ(-∀・*)

Viktor Nikiforov That's true, technology is a great way to spy on people
Viktor Nikiforov But I wonder about the reason
Viktor Nikiforov We may be the ones who remember things, but we got the app before things started changing
Viktor Nikiforov So are we being targeted for remembering, or being made to "remember?"

[belligerentwarrior]

look, it just needs to be tall enough to keep em from bouncing out. not putting them in the fruit bowl. can you imagine how loud that'd be?

[wiselys]

Fair enough.

I'm sure even they aren't so evil to ruin chocolate. Probably.

[wiselys]

What work?
I'm not a nerd, I'm well-informed. Even assuming it is all food-based products, they would become stale very quickly.

[5kotai]

i think pastries are easier, but the principal is the same. more sore fruit hold up better in baking!

[ you willing to exploit aki's cousin, yuuko...? ]

[sparsity]

[ just because he likes vegetables a whole lot doesn't mean this sentiment doesn't jive with him on a spiritual level ]

ancient runes don't sound as delicious though
i'd take the pie

and you can still put strawberries on the cheesecake
those are ok

[truedetective]

I suppose, yes. Will you be visiting your father at the precinct anytime soon?

[5kotai]

people can be very sensitive of their romantic pursuits and success! my parents taught me that.

i think that makes sense. it's kind of... happening, always then? unless those things you brought up about are happening first. is that right?

[truedetective]

How on earth are you remotely coming away from this conversation with the impression that my problem is your using complex words and not how you're using them? What world do you believe you live in?

[mincingminuet]

Carmen. Or Tristan and Isolde?

[sparsity]

sure thing

[ AND TRUE TO HIS WORD a couple minutes later he sends a picture of a full, naked orange. and its peel sitting there smiling and motionless.

he can't tell if he feels weird about this ]

well
it didn't seem to mind

[truedetective]

I suppose. It's as good a plan as any we have.

Which is to say we are somewhat lacking in good plans.

[truedetective]

"Veils everything from people who aren't meant to see it"... interesting.

Do you mean that it was used to conceal other things, or merely conceal its own existence?

[sparsity]

yeah
have you ever had it before?
apples and peanut butter go really well together

but i've never tried cookie butter
what is it like
