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'm... trying to do the same
I'd almost gotten used to the giant chickens replacing all the horses, but if I ever get used to this one, I... might have some more concerns


[could they just avoid making food look sentient please, it's a simple request]

maybe they'll actually listen to our requests and post one
...only so long as it doesn't fuck up any more fruit, please

well ideally just getting used to it won't be what this all leads to. i mean, gosh, there's only so much change we all can take, right?
...not that i know if there's really a fix for something like this, but. here's hoping.

yeaaaah that'd suck! i like the normal fruit we have left, i don't want it messed with

yeah... you're right
if we just keep accepting all the changes as-is, a lot of this world might not even resemble the one we remember


[Like the Ship of Theseus conundrum.]

I can barely think of a way to accomplish something like this, let alone fix it
unfortunately I don't think submitting a request to this app is going to do much of anything

yeah, i'd prefer to have to avoid getting vitamin supplements to avoid scurvy, thanks

in my experience submitting requests doesn't do much regardless of the situation anyway
so that option was already out to begin with
counteracts: (there'd be no point of us looking below)

[personal profile] counteracts 2017-03-27 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
yeah...
so we're just left here to deal with the aftermath of... whatever is happening
great


[If the giant chickens and the smiling fruit are anything to go on, they're not going to like what's around the bend either.]
