[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 HAVE BEEN LAUGHING THE WHOLE TIME but tim however is Done

[rednerd]

[He can't believe it's still going even NOW. But, as promised, she won't receive any kind of response because Tim doesn't want bad puns to go with his smiling-dancing fruits.]

[rednerd]

You won't be going to any doctors then.
That's what they all probably do.
Haven't you heard of taking the "Hypocritical" Oath?

[standalonehuman]

[Oh, the deep sigh that is happening on the other side of the screen. It still kind of hurts every time somebody jumps to that assumption.]

Hitori Togusa No, just a regular beat cop. I've been involved in investigations before, though.

[She doesn't realize he's tipsy, which is perhaps for the best as she would be the sort to talk about it and not realize others could see that as a bad thing. Nor does she realize why he might be tipsy in the first place. All she does know is that the sound of ice cream with her juice sounds terribly strange.]

Ice cream to go with my juice? Why would I put ice cream in my juice?

[madcuriosity]

What are civil liberties?

[madcuriosity]

... I don't want to deal with this the rest of my life. Though I suppose if I'm 40 I'll have been used to chocobos instead of horses and smiling fruits and whatever else shall come.

[chiseler]

good call
if he does actually go through with it I want pics
mostly because it sounds funny and I wouldn't be surprised if dirk did good work

[madcuriosity]

I wonder if that's how they communicate, like bees!

[caelestialis]

Hehehe! I can see the headlines now: SOCIAL MEDIA APP APTLY SUED FOR TERRIBLE MUSIC VIDEO.

The final straw that broke the camel's back, it seems.

[chiseler]

the only work I ever care about and that's getting inside people's heads
that's the same thing. let's just be glad my apartment isn't made of stale food in any case

[chiseler]

other things, I think. the concept itself wasn't well-known but I know about it. it's like...the difference between seeing a dog and, I don't know, a goat? two totally different things that you could look at and be like "that is definitely a goat and not a dog" but somebody else would be like "no you're insane that's a dog"
think about the arguments we've had with people about horses versus chocobos

[caelestialis]

Oh! Isn't that a curious but lovely thought? It'll make sense with how much they just seem to move.

I think you're on to something.

[chiseler]

depends. think the cops would nab us for property damage?

[Why are they both like this.]

[chiseler]

it's kind of like the letdown I felt with moonsand
it's glorified play-doh, there was nothing that exciting about it
talk about crushing childhood dreams
don't tell me you still have it though

[rhapsodeity]

haha ok smarty smartpants lol
bye!

[rhapsodeity]

karkat had a good metaphor for this
it is like we are in a movie that is going to be indie and also win awards, and the movie is very early on its script....
we dont know how long the script is!!!!!!!
we are only in the "discovering things" portion of the plot
depending on if a building disappears next we will know what genre of movie we are in i suppose!!!!!!

oh ok!
i see :)
i am not the type to joke about that kind of stuff sorry!!!!
but i appreciate the apology <3

[chiseler]

you're ALSO a huge nerd
and don't call me an uncultured swine what the fuck jason
that's just uncalled for
...wait what do you even use spreadsheets for?

[manolia]

Well, fair, but when your startup is three people in someone's basement... [Can you tell he's had a bad time??] I do like the way you think, though. There's always a loophole.

Neither I nor my parents never held such glamorous jobs, [well, ok, his only parent, whom he does not recall holding a job for longer than a year] but yeah, she's probably under a ton of NDAs.

[divine_braid]

I'd rather not give them any. It makes it even weirder.

[divine_braid]

Good to know. Just don'... eat one in class, okay?

[commandertoolbelt]

i don't know, personally i’m not really into the giant chicken aesthetic

i know, right?
there’s got to be some law of nature against these guys existing
how can they have faces and dance if they're not alive or some kind of fruit robot

[5kotai]

does yasusada ever have projects like kiyomitsu?

[alienates]

Alright so I have a question for you, and it's what doctor murdered your entire family because you have a very strong vendetta here that I am sensing.

[alienates]

We can live with our privacy being breached and having weird shit happen to us irl.
But bad video editing?
Off with their motherfucking heads.

[rednerd]

I'm just explaining why it's a bad idea to let children watch smiling killer broccoli finger horror movies.
