[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.

so that's what i heard

i had a few different ideas for the source: someone getting the shower curtain pulled open on them, a murder, someone trying to learn how to break glass through opera, a mouse...

you screaming at facefruits wasn't on the list but i guess i'll add it now

[openhanded]

wow okay I think opera is going a little TOO far
I know better than to attempt to sing but thank you for cementing that firmly in the no category.
I don't want to be graded on my performance in the shower

anyway it couldn't have been worse than what they did to queen

[darkinferno]

opera is NEVER too far

better check the floor plans to make sure your shower's on the opposite wall then

but yeah using bohemian rhapsody for this bullshit is a travesty

[openhanded]

suddenly I regret moving out of my mom's house

couldn't they trash something that's so horrible it can't be trashed?
like
uh
rock me amadeus or something

[darkinferno]

if you hadn't before now i apparently wasn't doing my job right

rock me amadeus has its own place

i would've preferred something from cats, then the world would have a valid reason to forget that score ever existed

[openhanded]

Austria? even I'm not sure they wanted it

I'm gonna pretend I didn't read that because then I might say something and then Mikleo would probably go on a two hour rant about the historical significance of that musical

[darkinferno]

gotta say now i'm tempted

it'd be funny for the first five minutes at least

though i'm morbidly curious how he could stand to talk about it for two hours that sounds more like he's punishing himself than anything else

[openhanded]

there are some sacred things you just don't mess with
Memory is one of them

[darkinferno]

are you kidding me

memory is the most overplayed part of that whole show

[openhanded]

do not DO NOT insult Memory where he can see it dude
it's super important to him for reasons I won't get into
that means it's important to me too

so while I'd normally agree with you on that point it's also untouchable

[darkinferno]

i'll keep that in mind

[He is so tempted. But he also doesn't want to be lectured at for two hours.

...so maybe he'll ask about it over the network where he can skim the inevitable tl;dr.]
