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.

No, we can't, and if anything I think we are more likely the ones being toyed with, but it is a great deal to believe that one day we remember a thing, and then it is different. It would mean our memories were altered before, and now we are slowly remembering that there were never horses, and apples always smiled at us.

[true_noir]

Only that it could clearly get worse. I am not even sure what to say at this point. They cannot possibly be gaining anything, so is this...

Are they trolling us? Is this what is happening?

[parodeity]

only w/ me because i am a weak willed damsel i guess

you just want to deny me smoothie rights

[splinten]

We all knew that. God knows what Wolf has been wooing you with.

I'm getting you your smoothie after school. The accusation doesn't hold.

[chiseler]

works for me, mom will believe you if you generate facts and make it seem like they came from a book and not the internet
let me ask the graces tonight and we'll go from there
are you trying to tell me we need to take a trip to the zoo because that can probably be arranged. are giraffes even part of the horse family?
I. why would gingerbread houses be stupider than smiling fruit?

[5kotai]

i think they're cute too, but i don't want to hear them in distress!

i wonder if i could keep one as a pet. we have so much, we just went grocery shopping before this.

[alienates]

I am not sure if you watched the whole video, but it was clearly a marriage proposal.
So, either they're trolling us, or the theory that they just have no idea how to fuck run a company has been proven to us by this Jim Halloway who apparently thinks that important updates should be combined with marriage proposals.
Really, really bad marriage proposals.

[covenantal]

You should let us know if they do.

[rednerd]

That's ten times more worrying than the fact they have faces and dance at all.
Please don't ever say that again.

[parodeity]

its not my fault im weak to familial love
also memes is the answer to the god knows what non question

it does so
youre making me wait through HOURS of non smoothie time
because
you hate me

[professahhh]

That's what I said, but how else can you explain this?! We can't all be hallucinating!

[covenantal]

ƪƪ’▿’)

That's a kaomoji for applause.

[professahhh]

If this is a backfired spell, what was it supposed to do if it hadn't failed?

[ Maybe it was supposed to turn PEOPLE into fruit instead of giving fruit people faces. SCREAM ]

[true_noir]

So, his idea of a marriage proposal was that awful video and to transform fruit in all of our stores and homes forever, while leaving us these inane coins with stupid phrases on them? No, I think you are right.

They do not know what they are doing, whatever their intent.

[chiseler]

you're walking two blocks just for that

[5kotai]

i hope a retrospec employee doesn't fall in love with me when i grow up, now.

but i'd feel bad for the guy if she said no, so i hope yes.

[professahhh]

I don't know. Ryoji says it's magic, but magic doesn't exist.

But fruits also don't have faces...!

[ send help ]

[covenantal]

It's more than coincidence that everyone experiencing this very specific mass hallucination also happens to have this app, right?

[appraiser]

[ laughs, Ryoji is slightly more optimistic about it; he can be sometimes ]

maybe it's something like... eating the fruit will make a person smile and want to dance?

[professahhh]

So it's a... positive thing? Have you tried it?

[chiseler]

either that or the eyes are inside the peel
the eyes better not be inside the peel

[splinten]

Isn't it.
Then I guess more than God knows.

Dave. Do you want me to take you during lunch instead?

[appraiser]

it could be a positive thing! i haven't actually tried it though...
to be honest
i'm a bit afraid

[5kotai]

i'm thinking of buying kashuu a little shamrock plant.

i think he needs more good luck, but would you like one, yasusada?

[rednerd]

Unless we're brains in a vat, it isn't technological either.

[REALLY SEND HELP.]

I don't get why it's affecting some people, but not others.
Why are some of my classmates fine with taking a hunk out of a smiling, dancing apple?
