[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.

Are yours trying to have a conversation with you too?

[beastenderblood]

Dude I do not want to talk to fruits and vegetation don't even scare me with that

[frostythehitman]

Well too late, because I already killed one for trying to talk to me.

[beastenderblood]

You did what you had to do

[frostythehitman]

It cried out for its wife and children before drowning to death in its own orange juice.

[beastenderblood]

Self-defense

[frostythehitman]

You think I should eat it?

Does it still count as self-defense at that point?

[beastenderblood]

Listen, it has much more use to you dead than alive

Sometimes you just gotta hurt something for its handy innards

[1/2]

[frostythehitman]

Yeah, alright. That is how meat works.

I'm just not used to being the one who murders my food for me.

[2/2]

[frostythehitman]

[ ...and five minutes later... ]

Okay, the verdict is in. It still tastes just as good as it did before.

I had to eat it in the other room, though. I didn't want its family watching me cut up and eat their dad/husband.

[beastenderblood]

DUDE

I WAS JOKING

[frostythehitman]

WELL IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT NOW! YOU SHOULD'VE SAID SOMETHING BEFORE I ATE IT, WHAT THE HELL MAN

[beastenderblood]

I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D ACTUALLY DO IT, IT HAS A FACE THAT'S CREEPY AS SHIT

[frostythehitman]

WELL I DIDN'T JUST CUT STRAIGHT INTO ITS FACE!

I peeled that bit off first and threw it out. Then I cut it up.

[beastenderblood]

[Don't think about it don't ask it don't think about it don't ask it]

And it was still good?

[Shit.]

[frostythehitman]

I mean

it tasted like an orange. I don't know what else to say about it.

[beastenderblood]

[...]

You know what

I stand by it

Rip those innards out for sustenance

[frostythehitman]

....well, good

because I did.

What about you, are you gonna eat the loving father of a fruit family?

[beastenderblood]

I'll consume them and gain their power with pride

Well not pride

But pride

[frostythehitman]

The power of what, vitamin C?

[beastenderblood]

What do fruits need vitamins more than me for? I gotta get that cell repairing nutrients all the time

[frostythehitman]

Well, I guess that is just how the world works. You know, circle of life, everything dies for something else to exist, we're all just specks in the grand expanse of the universe waiting to die, etc.

The oranges were destined to die for us, if you think about it that way.

[beastenderblood]

Fuck plantlife, I must live?

I can buy into that thesis

[frostythehitman]

[ Well. Shortly after sending that last reply, James got his very first regains, comprising of some frankly disturbing memories, so uh. ]

You know what, actually, I take that back.

I'm just some guy, not the ultimate overlord deciding what gets to live and what gets to die. I can't be responsible for some fruit massacre, I'm not gonna go to sleep with that on my conscience.

[beastenderblood]

["NO" sang a mind fresh from her own memory. "FUCK FRUIT"]

Listen those arrogant plant-based bastards have had it too good for too long. You see them laughing at us? That's uncalled for. We have a right to strip them of their parts by this point

Its the American Way
