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.

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

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

[everythingisred]

Sounds like a good Friday. I'm permanently off fruit now, but hopefully our sacrifices have helped a clearly special woman learn a thing or two about her coworker.

[doublesmall]

you sure? I think they could be great for stress relief, as long as they don't make noise or anything. that'd cross right over into 'too creepy'.

with any luck it'll get him fired, this is ridiculous.

Come on now the fruit are just happy to see you. I'm guessing the saying now is "don't have abusive relationships with your food".

Somehow I doubt he'll be going anywhere. Competence isn't the Retrospec company motto last I checked.

[doublesmall]

it's fruit, I seriously doubt it's happy about anything, even if it is dancing. there's no way, right?

and I don't know, things have been pretty messed up, but this has to cross some kind of line.

If we're going to get philosophical about the emotions of fruit now I'm afraid that's outside my jurisdiction. I'm just an ice skating instructor.

[The most normal thing one can ever be. Completely. Totally. IT DOES NOT GET MORE NORMAL and that line does not get more cliche, but hey it holds up in court, it's good enough.]

If you think this has all been messed up though you're in for a rough time, friend. This is just like what kids do in pc games. What's the popular one called? Dirtcraft?

[Look video games are not his thing. At least he's not blaming the hacker 4chan.]

[doublesmall]

yeah, well, I guess getting philosophical just comes with the bartending territory. talk to enough drunk people and you can discuss basically anything, you know?

and believe me, I've already had a rough time. if the network hiccups and shit are the worst you've had then count yourself lucky.

Aleksi? You're on this too? Since when?
