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.

Akira Midousuji is that your explanation for chocobos replacing horses, too? a self-defense mechanism to refuse the existence of giant birds? why?
Akira Midousuji the video makes it clear that it's Retrospec's design. why else would they make a video to draw our attention to this alteration?

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki the chocobos are a bit frightening!
Ryoji Mochizuki it might be Retrospec, but
Ryoji Mochizuki the video isn't really for us, it was for Janet
Ryoji Mochizuki it's kind of sweet?

[me_matey]

unless what they want is the gold medal in being unfunny

[liberal_arts]

Well, did it have to be of fruit? You could find a different subject.

[fushichou]

Izumi Kaneda are you one of those people who has no problem asking random people for stuff because I'm kind of amazed if you are
Izumi Kaneda oh well if nothing else I'll grab a fistful of grass or something and shove it peoples' faces
Izumi Kaneda .......that could be funny actually

[twelfthspark]

You smashed that sweet smiling face in with a *broom*? How could you-

actually yeah go ahead I can't really blame you.

[covenantal]

Ah... two apples at once, isn't that a little much? You might hurt yourself, or others, attempting a feat like that.

[covenantal]

Are they something you remember? Like the "memories" some people have been getting. Strange, though, that something that belongs to you specifically is now applied to all of us. I wonder if that was true of those bird horses, too.

Yeah. It seems unfair. Unless the person being proposed to asked for a public proposal... and to be honest, this doesn't seem like the kind of proposal anyone at all would ask for.

1/2

[covenantal]

[ wow ]

[covenantal]

Well, at least we know they don't feel pain. Hopefully. They have faces, they'd scream if they were bothered, right?

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki lol if you don't ask, they won't be able to help!
Ryoji Mochizuki would you like me to bring you something green?
Ryoji Mochizuki so you don't have to throw grass in people's faces?

[furtherforward]

Akira Midousuji SWEET?? GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSS
Akira Midousuji is this how YOU'D like to be proposed to, Ryoji??
Akira Midousuji reread Halloway's stupid post again. he was supposed to convey something but he took the opportunity to make it into a mind-numbing 6 minute 2 second video set to Bohemian Rhapsody so that he could force a creepy public proposal into it.

[darkinferno]

there's a reason i won't play card games with you, castellan

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki lol maybe not proposal
Ryoji Mochizuki but i can appreciate the time and effort that went into something like this
Ryoji Mochizuki if somebody put together a six minute montage of fruit for me, i think i would be very flattered!
Ryoji Mochizuki as for the post...
Ryoji Mochizuki it's sort of vague
Ryoji Mochizuki and very mysterious
Ryoji Mochizuki but doesn't have much in the way of information. i'm sure he tried

[darkinferno]

you think? considering we'd had almost six minutes of shittily-pasted fruits on recognizable images before that, the proposal's the part i'm MOST willing to take as legit

[darkinferno]

obviously nothing

spinning around in their chairs singing bad 80s pop songs

it's not even admitting it in my case, i'll be open about my hope she shoots him down hard

preferably not wasting our time with a 10-minute long video to do so though

[burningblossoms]

I wonder too!
That sounds super morbid, but really cool too.

[fushichou]

Izumi Kaneda that depends how tall you are

[Because he's Kinda Tall.]

Izumi Kaneda and are you out to ruin my own brand of fun

[furtherforward]

Akira Midousuji but you learned something from this nonsense post anyway: that your fruit are not how they once were. every instance of an apple is now with a face. so on
Akira Midousuji I can't believe you'd feel flattered at a montage of dancing fruit being dedicated to you........ that's desperate!

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki 5'7"!
Ryoji Mochizuki but some things are one size fits all
Ryoji Mochizuki like hats and ties
Ryoji Mochizuki then you don't have to pull out grass that's struggling so hard to stay alive, they just managed to survive through the winter

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki i guess learning about it via the video was better than some other people's experiences
Ryoji Mochizuki such as finding out about faces in mid-bite
Ryoji Mochizuki also it's not desperate!
Ryoji Mochizuki it's appreciation!
Ryoji Mochizuki however silly it is, i can't overlook somebody putting in time and effort for my sake

[fushichou]

Izumi Kaneda nnnnoooo now you're making me feel bad, like a MONSTER
Izumi Kaneda hey wait I have a green sharpie I"ll just draw a clover on my hand

[tokencanadian]

At least we're not eating the birds

[burningblossoms]

Yukiko Amagi I doubt that it's them specifically breaking in, Father.
Yukiko Amagi It's weird though. My snack started singing...

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki lol the grass will thank you for sparing their lives~
Ryoji Mochizuki your hand's not the first place people will look for green though
Ryoji Mochizuki a little green clover on your cheek might look cute
