[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.

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?

[antagonize]

Jason Grace Do we know if they're still edible?
Jason Grace I'd say we put off finding out for as long as possible, but science needs to know.
Jason Grace I'll grab the knives and you grab the apples?

[aegist]

Thalia Grace We do not know but we need to.
Thalia Grace I'm going to open the fridge for the right now.
Thalia Grace If we die, we die for science.

[antagonize]

Jason Grace Is there a more noble cause to die for?
Jason Grace I think not.
Jason Grace Let our friends know we died as we lived.

[aegist]

Thalia Grace Determined not to waste perfectly good groceries?
Thalia Grace And also science.
Thalia Grace Anyway meet you @ the table in five and we can see how this goes.

[antagonize]

Jason Grace See, we're good at managing our investments.
Jason Grace And also science.
Jason Grace Got it. Try not to get murdered by an apple.
Jason Grace I don't think I could explain that one to the cops.

[aegist]

Thalia Grace I'm sure you'd come up with something.
Thalia Grace Maybe try to get a picture of the murder in action, or set the apple on the cops?

[antagonize]

Jason Grace Sure, I'll take a picture of your brutal murder.
Jason Grace Add it to the family scrapbook.
Jason Grace Maybe give a copy to Luke if I'm not too busy getting arrested. He can cry on it at your funeral.

Judging by the horse/chocobo disaster, I'm betting we're stuck with these montrosities.

Even I want a drink right now.

[antagonize]

Only if that drink is chocolate milk. Get your calcium, kiddo. [Jason Grace, you're literally two years older. Stop.]

Dare I ask what's going to be defiled next? Maybe we'll step outside one day and all hour homes will be made out of gingerbread.

[wiselys]

Ha ha, very funny. But maybe I'll put grape juice in a wine glass so I can feel edgy.

Oh god, don't give them ideas. I don't want to live in an edible house.

[antagonize]

Oh, yeah. You'll be the edgiest of 16-year-olds. Make way for Annabeth Castellan and her legal drinking.

But if you want to avoid giving them ideas, it's too late for that. The network's reaction to this whole mess is enough to do half of the brainstorming work.

[wiselys]

You're just jealous that I have more street cred than you, Jason.

It's too bad they don't listen to the good ideas, such as "stop it" or "delete this" or "bring back sanity".

[antagonize]

Goodness gracious, you got me. I've been trumped by a high schooler.

Add "delete yourself" to that list. Maybe we should have made better use of that suggestion feature, but that implies it was helpful in the first place.

[wiselys]

You say that as if you're that much older than a high schooler.

Doubtful it was helpful at all. I think they want us to think they're just a normal company with a normal social app, despite obviously being a shadowy organization capable of mind-bendingly weird crap.

[sharplydressed]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu i bought a bag of apples yesterday and they are literally jumping around on my counter as i'm typing this
Kiyomitsu Kashuu at this rate i don't think any of us are ever going to get back to work again tbh

[antagonize]

Jason Grace I can't even call these first world problems because where in the world do fruit gain faces? Only in Recollé, apparently.
Jason Grace Maybe it's time we consider jobs that DON'T involve food.

[sharplydressed]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu yeah this is definitely just us
Kiyomitsu Kashuu super lucky huh?
Kiyomitsu Kashuu anyway, i'll only have a problem if the milk jugs and coffee beans start smiling and dancing too

[antagonize]

Jason Grace Don't give them any ideas.
Jason Grace For all we know, they're monitoring the network for new and exciting ways to fuck us over.

[sharplydressed]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu ugh please no
Kiyomitsu Kashuu as if crazy customers aren't bad enough on their own
Kiyomitsu Kashuu @retrospec if my coffee beans start smiling and you say i only have myself to blame, i'm still blaming you

[antagonize]

Jason Grace Again with the ideas.
Jason Grace You're going to wind up with coffee beans that dance nothing but the cha cha at this rate.

[sharplydressed]

Kiyomitsu Kashuu as long as they don't scream when you grind them up, i guess that would be tolerable
Kiyomitsu Kashuu that isn't an invitation either retrospec

[voicelessresistance]

You might be sleeping for a while, I think.

If they haven't changed the horses back, why change this?

[antagonize]

Sounds fine by me. Sleeping Beauty didn't know how good she had it.
