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 have been thinking about that!!!!!
i am glad someone else is! :D
i havent remembered them but i think thats a "yet" rather than a "never"....
as for the chocobos, i am hoping we will have an answer to that soon
but i am veeeeery curious where they came from now
i wonder if they came from someone else as well..
in a manner of speaking

well
i wouldnt mind it i think!
it was kind of funny, the whole video, if a little bit silly

So there might be a connection between the strange new things turning up in the city and our memories. It seems like that, anyway, especially if you do end up remembering these ... fruits. What makes you think it's a "yet"?

If it is a "yet," doesn't that something almost impossible for Retrospec, too? How could they be summoning real things from our memories?

You'd like a silly proposal, huh?

they seem familiar to me as though they are mine but i obviously have never had smiling and dancing fruit before
they were sort of familiar to two other people i know though
we have hallucinomemories with each other in them

i dont know unfortunately but i think we will figure it out some day
i think theres an answer right under our nose!!!

i have noooooooooooo idea what you mean >_>

Hallucinomemories... that's an interesting term for it. Accurate, though. They do sort of feel like hallucinations, don't they? Especially when you see fruit start to sing and dance, and no one in the city but us thinks it's unusual.

That makes it sound like something we should look for.

I guess I'll keep that in mind in case I ever find out anyone wants to marry you. I'll know what to tell them to do.

i cant take credit for hallucinomemories hehehe
i heard it from my boyfriend
but it definitely works and is surprisingly elegant!!

i think it is something you will just have to keep your eyes peeled for
answers might not come easily but if we are patient then things will happen
i feel like i understand a little more about the missing horses now.......
just like our missing fruit maybe???

um
thanks????
i think you are trying to be helpful at least, but i am not sure how this is your business????

Haha. Yeah, it is. I think I'll start calling them that, too. It captures a certain je ne sais quoi that "memories" just doesn't cover.

That's true. I feel a little antsy just waiting for answers, but there doesn't seem to be much more we can do, and it doesn't seem to be a crisis at this point, anyway. The fruit is alarming, but as long as it doesn't seem to feel pain it's probably not a real problem... I think. I wonder if we'll see anything else go missing or get replaced.

Ah... sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I was just kidding. I wouldn't actually do something like that.

karkat had a good metaphor for this
it is like we are in a movie that is going to be indie and also win awards, and the movie is very early on its script....
we dont know how long the script is!!!!!!!
we are only in the "discovering things" portion of the plot
depending on if a building disappears next we will know what genre of movie we are in i suppose!!!!!!

oh ok!
i see :)
i am not the type to joke about that kind of stuff sorry!!!!
but i appreciate the apology <3
