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.

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.

[heiroglyphs]

Oh thanks, I really missed that part.
I meant why they're like this, smartass.

[godcards]

You asked.

In any case, this seems to be Retrospec's doing. How they were able to achieve this, I don't know. But it is really no surprised they messed something up again.

[heiroglyphs]

I really don't like the idea that a company like this can mess with the whole fucking world.
Why doesn't it effect us though?
What makes us so special?

[godcards]

Something about the information they're stealing makes us worthwhile targets. How, I don't know, but there's most likely a pattern. If they continue to roll out "updates" it may become more obvious...

[heiroglyphs]

I guess we'll have to wait then.
For them to fuck with more stuff.
Hooray.

[godcards]

I would say they could possibly make an improvement... but I am doubtful.
As long as they leave food alone, there won't be the same kind of fuss as there is now.

[legne]

I am glad I've found somebody else facing up to a sudden lack of verdant clothing.

I never thought this would be a trial I would have to face! Oh, the woes of a committed aesthetic.

[heiroglyphs]

Seriously.
White's kind of my thing.
My apartment is white.
My car is white.
My clothes are white.
I don't do green.

[legne]

It could even be said you live in a literal ivory tower! [ She's pretty pleased with herself for that pun. ] Your devotion to snow-colored stylings is most admirable.

But...green? I must have simply overlooked that colour. Most of my own robes are dark as night.

[heiroglyphs]

[Oh ha ha. Vera's about to write something smarmy about deserving her place atop her ivory tower, but then she's complimented on her commitment to her style.]

Well, thank you, at least.
It certainly isn't green.
I hope this doesn't last forever.
I'm not in the mood to go clothes shopping right now.

[legne]

I must agree, although who knows what other tests of fortitude Retrospec will force us to undergo in the near future. It could be a lot worse than wearing green...

For instance, wearing orange! [ A hideous thought. Ranko would never willingly don the bright colours of the sun. ]

[temperedwill]

Most of my clothes is red, so I wouldn't really own anything green.
I'm not the most fashion oriented person, but I don't want to look like Christmas came early.
Anything with green will work though at least.

I want to say it could be worse, but I don't wanna know what would be worse to happy, dancing fruit.

[heiroglyphs]

It'll be worse when everyone gets scurvy because they don't want to eat fruit with a fucking face.

[temperedwill]

You think people are going to really stop eating fruit completely over this?
They'd eventually cave wouldn't they?

[heiroglyphs]

They have FACES.
I don't even know how you would eat that.
Wouldn't the texture be weird?
Like the eyes and stuff.
I'm thinking about this way too much and its creeping me out.
