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!



Cheers!

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 think we will all be ok
i am still me, and you are still you, and i think that is a perfectly good place to start at :)
adaptable is a good way to look at it but maybe we should just do our best!

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-18 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
hmm you're absolutely right
i will do my best at doing my best! since i'm not exactly sure *what* i should be doing my best at?
rhapsodeity: (staring down at me)

[personal profile] rhapsodeity 2017-03-18 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
hahahaha!!!!
you are a pretty silly guy sometimes ryoji :D
but i think thats a great way to handle this whole thing :)
just because we dont know doesnt mean we cant be prepared and ready and willing to deal with it you know?

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-18 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
lol at the end of the day, it's dancing fruit, so it's hard not to be silly about it
i love your positivity though, Jade, much more than people being angry at and in denial of things they cannot change
rhapsodeity: (you got someone new)

[personal profile] rhapsodeity 2017-03-18 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
thanks!
i think just getting mad about it is more likely to hurt your thought process.....
thinking clearly means keeping your head up :)

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-18 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
alright, so heads up and positivity time!
you know more about these fruit than anybody, Jade
what point between peeling and cutting and/or cooking do they stop moving?
the first step towards people accepting them might be if they could taste how delicious the fruit still are
rhapsodeity: (tearing into me without teeth)

[personal profile] rhapsodeity 2017-03-18 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ rYOJI ]

well thats going to be difficult because its only once they are kind of ummm
in half or something similar...
like if the orange is peeled
that they stop moving!
which i guess is pretty strange buuuuut
they are still just fruit and besides people eat living things all the time

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-18 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ he's trying his best to be positive :( ]

yes! that's the connection people should see
it's like beheading a fish or a chicken! if people are uncomfortable doing it themselves, maybe other people can do it for them?
like a butchers shop but for fruit
rhapsodeity: (this old and empty house)

[personal profile] rhapsodeity 2017-03-18 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
pfhehe
yes i think that is a great idea!
do you think you could do it ryoji???

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-18 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
lol i think i would cry the entire time
rhapsodeity: (can you hear the horses)

[personal profile] rhapsodeity 2017-03-18 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
hehehe youre so funny
but i thought so!
i could do it i guess :o
although it might kind of strange because everyone who is not us might not remember fruit being anything but this way

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-18 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
our city's honorary fruit butcher, the hero we don't deserve (*・∀-)☆
there are a good number of us otherwise, though!
you could set up an ~underground shop~ for fruit peeling services
rhapsodeity: (carried away)

[personal profile] rhapsodeity 2017-03-18 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
:o
that sounds like a lot of fun
i kind of like doing things like that! you know with my hands
i would do it for free :)

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-18 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
i don't think anybody would complain if you'd do it for free lol
but there'll be people who will insist on doing something in return anyways
is there anything you don't like doing?
rhapsodeity: (it's a lonely road)

[personal profile] rhapsodeity 2017-03-18 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
well duh ryoji
no one likes everything :p

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-18 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
lol that's a prompt to tell me what it is!
because i have lemons i'm hoping you can zest for me and that's not as quick and painless as peeling...
rhapsodeity: (and they won't wait)

[personal profile] rhapsodeity 2017-03-18 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
well theres nothing i would like anyone to do for me
and its nice just talking to people about this
it makes me feel less alone i guess!
so if you want me to zest some lemons for you i can do that free of charge :)

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-18 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
you're too nice Jade...
i will come hang out and talk with you while you zest! and maybe be brave enough to watch while you do it!
rhapsodeity: (so get up shake the rust)

[personal profile] rhapsodeity 2017-03-19 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
you should try yourself too
not zesting yourself but zesting the lemon
its not that hard!

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-19 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
maybe
if i pretend i'm providing an exfoliation
instead of shaving off its peel bit by bit
rhapsodeity: (walking barefoot in the snow)

[personal profile] rhapsodeity 2017-03-21 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
i am a little worried if you cant zest a fruit......
its a very simple process and all

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-22 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
i've never done it before, alright? not the ones with faces
do i use the mouth as extra grip? what if i accidentally poke it in the eye?
having a face changes everything
