[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.

What's going on why is he suddenly being cheered on he feels like he needs to do this now?

Alright alright I'll do it!

[tosa]

( A few minutes later??? A good while later, tbh. )

NVM I CAN"T
ITS TOO WEIRD

[tosa]

( Why is this a struggle... )

hmmmMMM
Have you tried look at old pictures? Everyone looks goofy when they're in middle school.
And some stay goofy looking for life.
Like you.

[tosa]

You think organic fruit are messed up too?
... Probably yeah?

( SIGH )

Imagine going to the grocery store now. Wonder if they keep those guys in cages or something so they aren' all voer the place

[tosa]

There's no way an app can do something like this.
You're talking about this thing changing the whole world or something.
Theres gota be another erason.

[sharplydressed]

it's not the app itself that's doing it

probably

but retrospec? what about them?

[tosa]

Like some sort of conspiracy?

[sharplydressed]

or something

i mean, they're always around when these weird things happen and only the people they "choose" to be testers of their app or whatever are the ones who notice

so it has to mean something right? there's no way all of it is just a coincidence

just look at that tacky proposal video!

[tosa]

( Man, this sure makes his phone and computer and everything else really weird... )

You're talking abotu a company that can control the entire world. That's stuff you see in movies.




But i guess you got a point.

[caelestialis]

Are there people insisting that there's nothing wrong with this too?

I tried to stop one of my faculty mates from eating one of the apples but, for some reason, they thought nothing was wrong. [ but? no? ]

[caelestialis]

What if Janet accepted the proposal though?

[ because ainsley can't trust anything anymore. ]

[caelestialis]

There is that. We can be confused as a group. It's a lot more fun at least.

[ and a lot less stressful since it was validating. very validating after being told, over and over again, that none of this was weird, ]

[caelestialis]

What do we do with our fruits now? Eat them? Release them to the wild?

I mean. I have a faint idea of trying to train them to respond to certain poems and songs but still.

[caelestialis]

Alright, alright. I'll spare you now the rest of my puns. 😛 😊

Just thought to lighten up the mood since I'm so unsure of how to respond right now. I'm berry sorry you had to suffer under that.

[megabond]

What do you mean? We're a group because of this app?

[Maybe you should elaborate on that, Ainsley.]

[trueend]

Frisk E. Business i like your shirt
Frisk E. Business are you ok

[alienates]

Then I hope Janet is prepared for a life of mediocrity and possibly having to deal with a divorce settlement in 5-10 years.
There is no way this marriage will last.
He couldn't even use decent font for the actual question?

[antagonize]

I hope Janet dumped his ass and then ran into the arms of someone more competent. I hope Jim got fired and now spends the rest of his evenings sneaking vodka into the unemployment lines.

Though considering they both work for Retrospec, probably not.

[antagonize]

They're still edible. We'll survive.

[voidedmemory]

Well I will have to beg ignorance on that one, haha!

[ He's never been kissed but honestly? He's okay with it. He misses company, not intimacy, ultimately. Kindness first; love later. Who needs it. ]

I have heard from someone else who tried it but I did not try it myself...

I would rather not kiss an apple but I suppose you could try it yourself if you wanted?

[caelestialis]

It seems rather cruel to simply toss them out.

Everyone else around us seems to be fine with what's happening. So I was thinking of maybe just donating the majority I own to charity or something, keep some for my personal project.

[caelestialis]

That's what I meant.

Because judging by all the other responses, we're definitely not alone.

[megabond]

You may have a point. This is more like a group gathering than a real social media app.

Also, I seemed to notice that there are no signs of users from other cities and countries...

[voidedmemory]

To get into semantics, plants count as living creatures, so it really was always murder...

But I guess they do not see it that way, haha. [ It's interesting, to him, to see how far the definition of 'living' is pushed. Plants are living, too. ]

Mostly just holding them down. Like I would normally. I just have to hold them a little more tightly.

It is nice to meet a fellow lecturer on here, though. [ He does recognise the name, at least, though their paths don't often cross. Engineering and literature don't have a lot to do with each other, after all. But he knows enough. ] I have seen quite a few students already, but it looks like many different people use this application! It is nice in a way. Though I suppose that I cannot be that positive considering it administers electrical shocks somehow.

[trueend]

can you really do that
and can i help
the video was funny but i want normal oranges back :/
