[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 can definitely bring them on over.

... Did you ever do the St. Patrick's day request? I keep closing the popup, but my phone keeps shocking me, and while I would wonder if it would help, I don't really wear much green so I wonder if you can outwait it.

[sparsity]

i am
but i don't know that i'd understand even if someone could explain it
don't you feel the same way?

[ Unless there's some REALITY-WARPING FOR DUMMIES series he's missing out on. ]

[sparsity]

apple clowns
that sounds right
you don't have to eat them or anything but i'd be sad to have to stop

[sparsity]

she sees the giant chickens she just doesn't think they're that weird
which is a whole different problem
but yeah i do
they're just so happy it's like they have no idea they can still be eaten

[sparsity]

i guess it would be yeah
with no one to tell us what's going on
we just sort of have to think of things as we go
i'm glad they're still just fruit

[ he's nothing if not a pioneer of the ill-advised ]

[sparsity]

you can be different
like people have pet chickens but still eat them don't they

i think that would be sadder for them

[tarotcards]

A bar.

We're celebrating St Patrick's Day.

[tarotcards]

I need help picking out a costume for work.

[thirtybits]

It would have to be Hips Don't Lie by Shakira or nothing.

[tarotcards]

I'm so glad that you agree. There really is nothing better than the first choice, is there?

[legne]

Ranko Kanzaki Even you, her devoted owner, did not notice? [ Then again...could Ranko really be so sure that even she herself hadn't fallen prey to the horse conspiracy? Maybe she really had forgotten about them, and was just convincing herself that she hadn't as an attempt at feeling in control of her life? Needless to say, said attempt was a complete failure. ]

Ranko Kanzaki This is...most vexing. Most, most vexing.

[counteracts]

hmmm

[No... quantum physics wasn't really his strong suit.]

alright, no, probably not
but I think I'd still want the benefit of the doubt up until that point

[There's always a chance.]

[legne]

An anonymous creature is one thing, but I would never eat one of my own familiars!

That would be...sadder than sad!

[tokencanadian]

I'm pretty sure I've already said that.

Also... I think I might have jinxed the whole secret disaster myself.

[sparsity]

i think so too
that's why i don't like meat

[standalonehuman]

Jinjing Longwei, I think I'm spelling that right.

[long_live_the_queen]

Lucy Takada probably still dancing
Lucy Takada or whatever it is they're doing
Lucy Takada it bounced back there and I can't reach it

[legne]

I admit that I've had a fondness for [ crappy meatloaf ] fine cuts, smoked, naturally, in the fires of Hell.

Although I think, after all this, that I will be cutting back on my intake of anything known to have once had a face.

[curseoclock]

ooh you're really mad aren't you

[curseoclock]

hm yeah probably. they wouldn't be involved if they're not getting some enjoyment out of it

but i'd say in that aspec, their sense of fun is super messed up

[darkinferno]

oh yeah it's definitely weird, i'm just not seeing the point of freaking out about it when it first appeared a week and a half ago. at least this time we had warning

anyway you're a sarcastic shit right back at me that's about as close to befriending as you get

nix the fruit ninja part and that sounds good. deal

[swordere]

Indeed, this ridiculous Retrospec train hasn't shown any signs of slowing down.

Still, I didn't expect something like the horses to happen a second time. Which makes me worry this may happen even more times...

[ghostories]

don't underestimate our power!
anyway
aside from the flashes
has anything changed about you too?
your eyes changing color, for example

[sparsity]

if we had any of that to start with
we probably wouldn't have fruit with faces so suddenly

[ JUST SAYIN ]

[sparsity]

hellfire sounds like an interesting way to cook something
maybe roasted peaches

if you need help i know about good places to eat
