[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 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

[openhanded]

what did we do to deserve this

[sharplydressed]

maybe we haven't been buying enough fresh produce lately and this is our punishment

[openhanded]

I'm very responsible when it comes to sourcing local produce

on the other hand, I think this is absolute proof that Retrospec is behind everything weird going on.

[sharplydressed]

there goes my only vaguely sensible theory ヘ(´－｀;)ヘ

but yeah i'd say this is a pretty undeniable tie now

not surprised at all

[openhanded]

I'm not really surprised either.

the question is what CAN'T they do?

[fashioneebo]

It's not just apples.

I'm currently at work trying to figure out how I'm going to make these drinks when orange, lime, and lemon slices are required.

I feel like I'm committing murder and they're *happy* about it.

[openhanded]

ugh yeah, I'll be over there in a bit... I imagine it's a slaughter over there. literally.

do they -

do they scream when you cut into them?

[fashioneebo]

Please send help. We're eating out tonight after work.

No, thankfully. Also, if you turn them around, there's no face on the back. It makes it a little easier.

[openhanded]

no arguments here.

That's............... something, but still... eugh.

have the costumers noticed anything different?

[fashioneebo]

I'll let you pick tonight.

I dunno about the costumers, but most customers act like it's normal. The only ones reacting at all to the sudden change have been others using Retrospec.

[openhanded]

mexican food?

oh shut up. it was autocorrect's fault not mine

so it's just like the chocobos then.

[cutenessproximity]

I'm cleaning out the fridge of anything dancing when I get home.

Throwing them away isn't a much more pleasant prospect than eating them, but I suspect leaving them to rot would be even worse.

[openhanded]

yeah I don't like being wasteful myself but

this is something else

[madcuriosity]

You're not being murdered though, are you?

[openhanded]

Nope! I'm totally fine. just a little...... spooked.

[madcuriosity]

I couldn't agree more. I think I'm going to swear off the four fruits if they aren't in some sort of mashed or chopped form.

[openhanded]

yeah, let other people do the work. especially people who probably won't notice a change.

[He's curious by nature, but he's never spoken to this person before, so he visits her profile and wow she looks young.]

I don't know if we've talked before. I'm a student teacher at the high school. surei doushi, but sorey's fine too if that's easier for you to say.

this may be a little presumptuous but... I know things are crazy nowadays with whatever Retrospec is doing. if you need some help from a grown up my phone's always on.

[madcuriosity]

Oh! Thank you very much, Mr. Sorey!

I would like that very much, Mr. Lee and Mr. David do what they can, but they're terribly busy. I'm a student at the private Catholic school! I'm in the first grade! Will you still be there when I get to high school?

[darkinferno]

so that's what i heard

i had a few different ideas for the source: someone getting the shower curtain pulled open on them, a murder, someone trying to learn how to break glass through opera, a mouse...

you screaming at facefruits wasn't on the list but i guess i'll add it now

[openhanded]

wow okay I think opera is going a little TOO far
I know better than to attempt to sing but thank you for cementing that firmly in the no category.
I don't want to be graded on my performance in the shower

anyway it couldn't have been worse than what they did to queen

[darkinferno]

opera is NEVER too far

better check the floor plans to make sure your shower's on the opposite wall then

but yeah using bohemian rhapsody for this bullshit is a travesty

[openhanded]

suddenly I regret moving out of my mom's house

couldn't they trash something that's so horrible it can't be trashed?
like
uh
rock me amadeus or something

[darkinferno]

if you hadn't before now i apparently wasn't doing my job right

rock me amadeus has its own place

i would've preferred something from cats, then the world would have a valid reason to forget that score ever existed
