[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.

Ignoring whatever the fuck that is, has anyone else found a weird coin today? With a chicken on it. Chocobo. Whatever. And a quote on the edge?

[curseoclock]

idk it's pretty hard to ignore that

but YEAH i did! the engraving's pretty funny

[aegist]

Jim and Janet were both mentioned in this and it has the logo, so it's probably related somehow, right?

What is it, a commemorative "we're shitheads" coin?

[curseoclock]

i'd say it could just be someone who thinks they're funny but the chances of that are pretty much zero i think

maybe they'll give out more and we're supposed to collect them or something

[aegist]

If this is like that commemorative quarters for every state thing I'm probably going to give up, like, before it starts.

Has yours done anything weird?

[ripplebeat]

did you try to buy anything with it lol

[aegist]

No. Why, did you try it on a vending machine or something? I don't think it would fool most cashiers but admittedly it would get by the dead to the world and your shenanigans type.

[ripplebeat]

nah i was gonna see if i could sell it but i might be more curious as to whether or not it'd fly as legal tender

[aegist]

Let me know how either attempt goes. I can't be bothered to try either, honestly. Maybe it'll be useful later?

[commandertoolbelt]

i don't know if i'd call that a quote but yeah
it's kind of a lame souvenir compared to the dancing fruit

[aegist]

I assume the fruit probably still rots (?) and therefore would be a bad souvenir if you didn't plan on eating it eventually?

[commandertoolbelt]

well aren't you just a ray of sunshine
at least the fruit gets to have some fun before someone chows down

[aegist]

Didn't ask for your opinion on my worldview, random stranger.

Is it having fun? It's hard to tell if it's sentient or no.

[wiselys]

Yes, and I think Jim might be an idiot judging by that quote. I'm holding him personally responsible for all this bullshit.

[aegist]

If you ever track him down I'll represent you in court or find you a kickass lawyer who isn't in training to do so?

[wiselys]

By the time we find him, you may just be the most kickass actual lawyer.

What if I find him and punch him? Will you represent me in the ensuing physical assault case?

[chiseler]

oh my god why do you BOTH resort to punching people
I mean go for it, I won't stop you but oh my god

[tuffguy]

yeah i did
but i wouldn't call the quote on it meaningful

[aegist]

i'd call it shooting himself in the foot re: chances janet will agree to marry him.

[uptowngirl]

Yes. I'm starting to get the feeling that this company is equally disorganized in all it's branches, but it's more far reaching than previously thought.

[aegist]

???? do you have any idea what the coin is for? because i'm coming up blank and don't even see how they arranged for us all to find these coins.

[uptowngirl]

No, not really. And it's even more confusing than this app downloading itself...but I think the dancing fruit is taking the cake.

[notyourutopian]

Yeah, it was in my backpack.

The little quote is certainly killing some of the...mystique...of whatever this people are trying to do to us.

[aegist]

i think the video killed what the coin quote didn't kill. but okay, as long as everyone else has a weird memento coin and not just me.

[notyourutopian]

The video was...
I've spent a lot of time on the internet so I guess I'm desensitized to how bad it probably is.

The coin is certainly odd, though.
It's not the first time I've heard of them sending people stuff.
Does it...mean anything to you?
