[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.

I need an adult who isn't me.

[ because what did she wake up to from her nap. ]

[goen]

You rang?!

[ Technically... ]

[caelestialis]

[ well- this certainly brings a smile on her face. enough that shock and confusion are no longer the dominant feelings at the moment. ]

I have to admit, this is a lot more a-peel-ing to face when you have company.

[goen]

[ She really went for the low-hanging frui--

fuck

He likes you Ainsley but puns are banned!! ]

Noooooo
Miss MMMMMM

[caelestialis]

[ people can pry her love for silly puns from her currently glitter covered hands. ]

But orange you glad I didn't say the other pun I must have had in mind?

[ stOP. ]

[goen]

NOOOOOOO
MISS MMMMMMMMMM
!!!!!!!!
This was a trap... (･‸･̥̥̥)

[caelestialis]

Alright, alright. I'll spare you now the rest of my puns. 😛 😊

Just thought to lighten up the mood since I'm so unsure of how to respond right now. I'm berry sorry you had to suffer under that.

[megabond]

I can guess you saw the fruits...

[Unfortunately right now, he is also shocked at what he saw when he tried to get a snack from his apartment.]

[caelestialis]

It's kind of hard not to see them when your fridge for the classroom happens to be full of them.

I don't know what to do with them now. I certainly don't want the kids to be eating these. [ because what if the fruits try to eat them back?? there are so many scenarios in her head right now. ]

[megabond]

I could say the same.

[He also doesn't want to eat the fruits now that most of them have smiling faces plastered on them.]

At least they fixed the glitches on this app right now...

[caelestialis]

There is that. We can be confused as a group. It's a lot more fun at least.

[ and a lot less stressful since it was validating. very validating after being told, over and over again, that none of this was weird, ]

[megabond]

What do you mean? We're a group because of this app?

[Maybe you should elaborate on that, Ainsley.]

[caelestialis]

That's what I meant.

Because judging by all the other responses, we're definitely not alone.

[burningblossoms]

Me too. :(

[caelestialis]

What do we do with our fruits now? Eat them? Release them to the wild?

I mean. I have a faint idea of trying to train them to respond to certain poems and songs but still.

[burningblossoms]

I guess it means we have to murder them to eat them. Do they yell when you try and bite? I haven't tried.

And do you really want apples reciting sonnets?

[caelestialis]

I don't think I'll ever have the courage to do such a thing. And here I am trying to be healthy for once with my fruits and vegetables.

Also- Would it be cliche to say I'll be interested in seeing them react to Hamlet's famous To Be or Not to Be speech?

[burningblossoms]

I guess we're all going on a paleo diet then huh?

And no? But I wonder how they'd take it. Because can they react to things like that at all?

How would they hear with no ears? They aren't corn.

[caelestialis]

Just when I was starting to embrace lemons too.

I noticed that they seem to respond mostly to music or things that have a sense of rhythm. Someone here changed the radio station and they're behaving differently in terms of-

I guess I'll have to say 'dancing' if rolling about and vibrating in a basket counts as that.

[madcuriosity]

That would make two people in need of an adult.

[caelestialis]

At least we're not alone! We can all be baffled together.

Are there any fruit parties happening in your current place as well?

[madcuriosity]

There was... I was having tea and in a panic I threw the thing, the lemon wedge, against the wall.

[caelestialis]

Oh! I'm sorry. That must have been a shock for you. I hope the lemon wedge understands your reaction. If it can understand us at all, that is.

[madcuriosity]

I did apologize, it continued to smile, though.

[caelestialis]

I suppose we can take it as it accepting your apology then! Good to hear the lemon is still smiling too. It would be a shame if it lost its zest for life.

[ ainsley please. ]
