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 hope so, especially since someone's apparently not doing their damn job right.

[chiseler]

seriously, what kind of research and development is this guy doing that this is the best he came up with?

[doublesmall]

I don't think I want to know, if this is the result. have they been breeding freaky fruit the whole time?

if so I'm like 99% sure I'm right about this being made under the influence because what the fuck

[chiseler]

must be growing it in the same place they were storing the chocobos which is who the hell even knows
I'm not even going to argue that because it's embarrassing on jim's behalf. maybe janet kicked him out for the night, who knows?

[doublesmall]

don't let him back in, janet, don't do it

there's gotta be somewhere, right? no way that building of theirs is big enough for that shit.

[chiseler]

definitely not
unless there's something unground we're not seeing? we don't know what goes on in there

[doublesmall]

god, I don't want to think about all this weird shit going on underneath us, that just makes the whole thing worse

I want it far away from me at all times

[chiseler]

well if your gravity keeps acting up you might be the furthest away from it
how's that going anyway?

[doublesmall]

still a work in progress. it's still a pain in the ass, but I'm not as worried about floating off into the fucking sky as I was.

might be able to get a grip on it with some more effort, but it's not going as fast as I'd like it to.

[chiseler]

guess I gotta cancel the discount on chuuya-balloons then...
I don't imagine bending the laws of gravity is actually easy so how much faster were you really hoping it'd go?

[doublesmall]

I swear to god if I hear the words 'chuuya balloons' again I won't stop at punching you next time

and I mean I was hoping to, I don't know, suddenly be one with the gravity or howthefuckever that shit happens to people in fiction but I guess there's a good reason that's fiction. lesson learned about hoping for anything good when it comes to the weird bullshit.

[chiseler]

ah come on, it's funny! they'd be the most dignified balloons around
weird bullshit is never good and fiction's always a lie from what I know. but that's an idea anyway. maybe looking at fiction and people with gravity-shifting powers to get an idea how to make it work
there's that comic book store in tisse that'd probably help? just a thought

[doublesmall]

fine I'll bite how dignified would they be exactly

choose your answer carefully (¬､¬)

and yeah I guess that might help, maybe there's something that'd make it click better? if I can be reminded of other stuff it makes sense that I might be reminded of how it's supposed to work

[chiseler]

like with little hats and maybe bowties or something? fancy. would I ever have a chuuya balloon created that didn't look dignified? be glad we stopped at the monocle
that's what I'm thinking. the library's useful and unless the internet changed how gravity worked there's all kinds of theory and stuff you can apply. let me know if you want help or whatever, I have nothing else to do besides learn how to look my fruit in the eye while I mutilate it

[doublesmall]

is this a 'royal we' situation or did you have someone else in on the balloons??

might take you up on that if you know much about science, though. I studied literature, this is not my field.

and according to one of my employees it's easiest to just blend the things but my personal preference is either 1. turning it away or 2. pretending the face belongs to someone else

these things are great stress relief, trust me.

[chiseler]

how mad are you going to be if I said there's actually another person involved? like hypothetically and all that
I'm not that great with science but I know how to navigate my way into getting answers about stuff. that's close to science
been daydreaming about cutting lots of faces lately chuuya? I don't know if I hate that many people today but I might change my mind later

[doublesmall]

hypothetically? a moderate amount depending on who it is, could be less or more. you'll only find out how mad I might get if you tell me. it's schrodinger's anger.

and how much fruit do you think I've been cutting here, it's not lots of faces, shit. just specific ones.

[chiseler]

I think I'll take my chances and leave pandora's box closed for right now. the suspense is a little funnier anyway
that's an improvement to what I was thinking at least. congratulations on only daydreaming of cutting up some faces
...including ones you sometimes drunkdial?
