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 don't think I've ever heard of the comparison of grapefruits to pears! But it does sound less clumsy than bananas to grapes... that and I can never remember how many "na"s to put in banana. Grapefruit is much easier to spell so long as you can properly write grape and fruit.

And I suppose I still could use apples to oranges, and will have to with the other children since they won't think anything of it. But I much rather not compare the two, now that they have faces it's rude to compare something that can look at you and dance. It would be like talking behind someone's back, but in this case, that someone is fruit.

[How is she so whimsical and innocent?]

well if you've never heard it before it just means it's up to you to make it the new trend, right? sayings have to start somewhere

i gotta say though i don't think the fruit will care if you talk about it

but maybe that just makes you better than the rest of us for considering it?
