[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.

Cars replaced by giant dung beetles.
Wow.

Do we still drive them?

[trivialization]

If it were difficult, why fruit?

Actually, I'm not sure I want to pursue that line of thought.

[tokencanadian]

I know right?

Well, why not?

[strongestheart]

Ahh, don't jinx us!

Looking something up is nothing compared to experience! We can make a thing of it. It'd be fun! ♥

[maya where the hell did that heart come from]

[swordere]

So... that helped, then? You're fine with it now, really?

[true_noir]

It is not a thing I truly wish to argue. I do not think this is the sort of thing one wins an argument over. There are other ways.

[And proving that could be awkward and uncomfortable for various reasons.]

[swordere]

I'm not sure there ever were rails to begin with.

Not a very comforting thought, is it? I guess it helps we'll be more prepared for it now. We'll slowly learn to skip past the shock phase of everything. Not that I'm happy about it.

[sparsity]

i promised someone i wouldn't eat one yet anyway
you're safe from me

[sparsity]

it's weird being the only ones experiencing the differences
we didn't do this to ourselves, so
i wonder who wants us to remember

[sparsity]

so you're close by then
i'll bring you some as a trade

[sparsity]

that's more like it

you could
though i think it might be better inside the pie
have you had strawberry pie before

[curseoclock]

yeah that is kinda creepy. even for me. and i have a super high tolerance for that.

[curseoclock]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

gotta take what you can get

Yoon-sung Lee I'd hate to say that we might need to wait on this, but we might need to do so.
Yoon-sung Lee I think that we need advice or at least some extra help from someone that knows that kind of stuff.
Yoon-sung Lee I can work with computers and probably some maths but actual science and biology isn't my strongest points.
Yoon-sung Lee As for the strange memories.
Yoon-sung Lee It sounds like whatever is causing them varies from person to person. Which means it's customized for each person involved with this, just like how they figure out who is using it where.

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung Lee Who knows? I got rid of it so can't do that. I just thought it was a stupid joke or something.

[ghostories]

[ is landlady aunt that scary... she'll need aki's help in that case ]

yes!!!
i've never made a pie before
but it sounds like fun!
i'll do my best, chef!

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa Okay. That last point, especially, I'll agree with. This isn't a 'blind men describing the elephant' thing where we're all getting snapshots of the same information.
Hitori Togusa It's all very different from person to person.
Hitori Togusa But you're right to wait, also. If neither of us has the expertise to tackle the psychological questions, then maybe we should find someone who does.
Hitori Togusa Everybody on this app has a vested interest in solving this thing.

[ Well, in this happy and ridiculous world, Mrs. Ryo did give birth to and raised up this rascal (on the left)... she is also the One Thing he probably fears without fail when the lady is mad. ]

how about we make mini pies! then we each can have one. also, much more manageable than one big pie.

[ at least one of them will turn out good this way, right? ]

[esperimental]

Retrospec is no normal force to be reckoned with; I'd really like to avoid using it and get on with my life but it just won't leave us alone.

[ghostories]

[ i can't believe mutsu has a demon mom ]

oh, good idea!
all this talk of pie is making me hungry...
i have to get something to eat now
let me know if it's okay with your aunt, alright?
i'll see you around!

[caelestialis]

Oh.

You have a point there. No matter how you slice it it looks like they're all pulling our legs. [ which is rather rude but it seems to be their thing since they downloaded their app into phones without asking first. ]

[sharplydressed]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu omfg
Kiyomitsu Kashuu jason???
Kiyomitsu Kashuu if you end up getting cursed or something because you heard the angry siren song of death from some fruit, i can't help you

[5kotai]

[ The women of the Sakamoto Family: kind, mature, but also know how to whip the boys in shape. ]

alright! i hope you find something delicious. i'll talk to auntie and aki.

[sharplydressed]

[In a situation like this, "any means to comfort" is pretty viable, at least. In the mean time, Kiyomitsu's left squinting at this message like what even is Ars Goetia and feeling vaguely concerned in general.]

might want to brush up on it a little more then, since that seems to be the future we're heading toward at the speed of light

i'm sorry this is late orz

[recusancy]

As long as Retrospec has you selected as a user, you're in the game.
