[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.

Yeah okay this is MUCH creepier than the birds

[momentaryspring]

THIS IS BULLSHIT.

[everythingisred]

Aleksi Lehtonen Isn't 9am too early. I haven't even started drinking yet. Apparently I'm behind.

[doublesmall]

I'm leaning more towards whoever made this being high as fuck. alcohol alone isn't enough for this.

[chiseler]

anybody wanna bet janet says no after this...?

[sharplydressed]

she should say no tbh, this guy is obviously 100% a chump (`A´)

[sharplydressed]

okay but we were asking for less weird things, LESS. this is going in the complete opposite direction??

what are we even supposed to do with these things omg

[godcards]

Put them in a blender.

[parodeity]

well id say yes to that proposal
but
what the FUCK happened to my iphone logo
and my aj
@dirk i understand the horse thing now

[true_noir]

It is official. Not only do I not understand what is going on in the world today, I believe that I and all of us have either gone completely mad, or these people are the insane ones.

I prefer the latter.

[darkinferno]

how much time do you have on your hands to have sat down and made this shouldn't r&d be doing something more... research or development-oriented

and i'm not talking about developing your proposal plans

i'd say i can't believe you wasted our time for a shitty marriage proposal but with this network it's not surprising at all

[clear_eyes]

I'd argue the marriage proposal doubles as "clever" way of informing us something strange has happened.

Still rather frustrating, though.

[true_noir]

[There is an image uploaded of Chloe in a cloak, hair purple and that cloak serving perfectly for the purposes of the requirement. She might have gotten a small shock first, but she was now posting.

She was also a little frantic, though it wasn't obvious from the fact that it was text.]

Jim? Danny? This is you that is responsible for this? Whoever is responsible, or whoever knows something, why am I in my home, staring at an orange that is smiling and laughing at me?

It has been the very long day at work. I wish to eat something and rest from this insanity. Why is my fruit dancing for me?

[twelfthspark]

Bananas are still okay.

Jim or whichever asshole is handling this, *that is not a suggestion.*

[trueend]

Frisk E. Business why
Frisk E. Business i dont want to be a fruit cannibal

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Thankfully, someone has told me bananas are safe for now.
Chloe Bouchard And I just bought a pineapple safely.
Chloe Bouchard But I wish to know why too.
Chloe Bouchard No, no, I wish things to go back to normal. I will settle for no explanations.

[heiroglyphs]

Ew, what?
I don't own anything green.
No one tells me what to wear.
And what the fuck is with these fruit?!

[godcards]

They have faces now, clearly.

[magcat]

Charlotte Sakata oh, the fruit... are adorable! they look so happy
Charlotte Sakata but it makes me not want to eat them :(

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki do you think they'll be happier to be eaten than to let rot?
Ryoji Mochizuki i don't think the smiles will hold up once the fruit gets old and mushy...

[bold_in_deed]

fuck you. i hope she says no. and she damn well should after that shit fest of a video

[true_noir]

It gets worse. Assuming you eat the healthy diet, look in your refrigerator.

[commandertoolbelt]

okay so i guess the crazy is contagious because i'm pretty sure the apples mom got a few days ago are having a rave in the kitchen

[clear_eyes]

Eh? A rave? They're not making any noise are they?

[swordere]

Just when I thought things couldn't get creepier. Fruit salad has never been more horrifying...

[clear_eyes]

I've already cut several of them up, so they're apparently still normal fruit, aside from the obvious.

I was concerned at first, but after the first one it became much less. Awkward.

[longwei2go]

lets ignore
for two seconds
what happened to the fruit i just had to throw away

and focus on the fact

you fucked with the wrong queen song

[heiroglyphs]

Freddie Mercury is rolling in his grave right now.

[openhanded]

i just screamed so loud the neighbor called over to make sure I wasn't a lady getting murdered

I'm never eating apples again

[sharplydressed]

i'm joining you there

there's no way i can eat food that's smiling at me

[twelfthspark]

There's six minutes of my life and five bucks worth of oranges I'll never get back.

[There's also a selfie! Her hand not holding the camera is flipping off an alarmingly cheerful orange.]

[darkinferno]

just chop them up anyways once the face is gone who cares

can't do anything about the six minutes though

[rhapsodeity]

WHOS CRAZY NOW ASSHOLES???????????

also this was pretty funny but proposing in public is creepy and messed up!

[appraiser]

jade.................

[antagonize]

Jason Grace I thought I could avoid getting shitfaced drunk by staying away from the booze.
Jason Grace But apparently not.
Jason Grace I'm calling in. Wake me up when someone exorcises our fruit supplies.
Jason Grace Or when Jim gets fired.
Jason Grace Either one works.

[aegist]

Thalia Grace I'd say we're not buying these fruits ever again but honestly I'll murder them for us.
Thalia Grace Real questions: will they dance as we cut them to pieces?

[hjack69]

JADE what did you DO

[rhapsodeity]

i did not do a single thing i can promise you that!

[curseoclock]

hahahahahaha what the FUCK
how do you even react to something like this? oh, wait, i know:

???????????????

(also as far as proposals go this was like a solid 9/10 at least)

[godcards]

More like 1/10. What about that was supposed to make anyone go, 'yes, I'll marry you' ??

[tarotcards]

Souji Narukami shared a photo. 3/17 near Apprassage

Asides from the fruit with faces that I want to try eating and the mini-electrocutions I'm getting from my phone, help me pick an outfit. I need it for work.

not here

[twelfthspark]

[oh thank god they all have their shirts on this time]

[aegist]

Ignoring whatever the fuck that is, has anyone else found a weird coin today? With a chicken on it. Chocobo. Whatever. And a quote on the edge?

[curseoclock]

idk it's pretty hard to ignore that

but YEAH i did! the engraving's pretty funny

[long_live_the_queen]

Lucy Takada just on the off chance anyone was wondering
Lucy Takada applesauce is unaffected


Lucy Takada and FUCK YOUR ELECTROCUTION I HOPE SHE DUMPS YOUR ASS

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki did you make the applesauce before or after the faces?

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa I've figured it out. Everybody go home, I've solved the Retrospec mystery.
Hitori Togusa This is what happens when a generation of jerk hackers grow up and get a lot of money.

Hitori Togusa You wanted my attention? You've got it.

[judicatus]

Noah Gabranth You wouldn't happen to have another one of those green ribbons would you

[ he's willing to put up with a lot of things but electric shock??? please. no more. ]

[voidedmemory]

I

I do not understand what the purpose of this is?

Why do these fruits have faces all of a sudden? This will not make them taste different I hope?

[ He's still eating that fruit salad though.

Dark secret: He's fine with it ]

[manolia]

Good news: can confirm they taste the same.

Bad news: I feel like I just tongue-kissed an apple
