[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.

Lucy Takada just on the off chance anyone was wondering
Lucy Takada applesauce is unaffected


Lucy Takada and FUCK YOUR ELECTROCUTION I HOPE SHE DUMPS YOUR ASS

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki did you make the applesauce before or after the faces?

[long_live_the_queen]

Lucy Takada before
Lucy Takada its a shitty fruit cup from the break room

Lucy Takada I might take requests before shoving one in the blender

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki uh. no requests from me, but
Ryoji Mochizuki oh thank goodness it's from before
Ryoji Mochizuki save those fruit cups
Ryoji Mochizuki they'll be gold for anybody craving apples now

[long_live_the_queen]

Lucy Takada what if I carve Jimmy's name on it first

Lucy Takada I think they'd look at me weird for taking a few pallets of applesauce with me
Lucy Takada js

[appraiser]

Ryoji Mochizuki i think it would be misplaced anger added to something already horrifying
Ryoji Mochizuki would it make you feel better?
Ryoji Mochizuki it's the age of processed food. i could live off applesauce
Ryoji Mochizuki i will compensate you for the applesauce

Chloe Bouchard It is fine, as long as you are not the one to see its smiling face as you crush it into pulp?
Chloe Bouchard Ah, but food always involves killing to survive, so there is that.
Chloe Bouchard But it is unnatural to see it so, smiling at me even when I thought it a rat in the dark and beat it with a broom to an orange, messy pulp.

[long_live_the_queen]

Lucy Takada look
Lucy Takada I don't like shit trying to escape the blender
Lucy Takada this was just one of those prepackaged cup things though

Lucy Takada ...so I guess it's just really small faces?

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I am going to assume it is just pulp
Chloe Bouchard That is far more comfortable than the alternative
Chloe Bouchard And bananas are safe, it would seem

[long_live_the_queen]

Lucy Takada I don't think I want to eat anything right now

Lucy Takada what the fuck happened to today, seriously
Lucy Takada it was supposed to be a boring day at work

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Understandable.
Chloe Bouchard The same thing that happened when the horses went away, and we got gigantic chickens to ride upon.
Chloe Bouchard And only people with this app will understand.
Chloe Bouchard How bad is it?

[everythingisred]

Aleksi Lehtonen Care to find a pie for us and verify if it's the same? Something something for purely educational purposes.

[long_live_the_queen]

Lucy Takada my break's not THAT long

[everythingisred]

Aleksi Lehtonen Fair enough. I think I'll get some for snacks at the rehearsal at the community center this evening. Swing by if you want to see what happy apple pie tastes like.

[Drugs. It's probably drugs. But he supposes they'll all find out experimenting on the community before he tries it himself is perfectly legit okay.]

[long_live_the_queen]

Lucy Takada jfc
Lucy Takada can we not
Lucy Takada I don't even want to finish my lunch now this is ridiculous

[complementing]

Minako Arisato ...I hope Korochan will be okay at the apartment with these things Minako Arisato are you too busy to stop by the apartment to check on him?

[long_live_the_queen]

Lucy Takada shit
Lucy Takada My break's almost over but I can check after work

[Or. RIGHT FUCKING NOW because this was definitely a crisis. THERE WAS A POTENTIAL FOR DOG TO BE UPSET. Definitely a cause for Lucy skipping work.]

[complementing]

Minako Arisato thanks Lucy Minako Arisato I won't be getting back until late today myself Minako Arisato he's such a calm dog that I'm not too worried Minako Arisato but if Fang gets agitated then it might set him off too... Minako Arisato let me know how they are when you get back?

[long_live_the_queen]

Lucy Takada idk dogs aren't supposed to have citrus aren't they?
Lucy Takada or cats
Lucy Takada or both

[A suspiciously short hour later:]

Lucy Takada koro's fine
Lucy Takada cat is hiding under the couch and hissing but doesn't seem poisoned or w/e

[complementing]

[Minako doesn't see this until after that hour happens, and she's so relieved that Koro or Fang haven't ingested potential poison that she doesn't call Lucy out on skipping work. ] Minako Arisato thank you Lucy, I'm so glad they're safe Minako Arisato yeah I just looked it up, lemons and limes are bad for them, it'll make them vomit and give them diarrhea Minako Arisato it's okay to give them apples and oranges in small pieces sometimes though as long as you don't let them eat the seeds Minako Arisato is Fang hissing at the fruit or...you know, just in general? Minako Arisato wonder if all this weird sci-fi stuff Retrospec is pulling on us works on animals too

[belligerentwarrior]

well.

the orange still tastes like it should.

[long_live_the_queen]

not sure how to feel about this

they cause less damage as projectiles?

[belligerentwarrior]

yeah, it's unnerving, but my coworkers seem to be eating them fine. they haven't keeled yet.

do i want to know why you're pitching them?

[long_live_the_queen]

the apple was looking at me funny

[She...might be serious.]

[belligerentwarrior]

[...Lucy.]

is this a rotten apple joke?
