[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.

[There is an image uploaded of Chloe in a cloak, hair purple and that cloak serving perfectly for the purposes of the requirement. She might have gotten a small shock first, but she was now posting.

She was also a little frantic, though it wasn't obvious from the fact that it was text.]

Jim? Danny? This is you that is responsible for this? Whoever is responsible, or whoever knows something, why am I in my home, staring at an orange that is smiling and laughing at me?

It has been the very long day at work. I wish to eat something and rest from this insanity. Why is my fruit dancing for me?

[twelfthspark]

Bananas are still okay.

Jim or whichever asshole is handling this, *that is not a suggestion.*

[true_noir]

Bananas, you say? I can eat them safely, and they will not laugh at me and dance for me? This thing, it terrifies me. I thought it was just Jade who had one or two, but they are everywhere.

This is officially insane, Arlene.

[twelfthspark]

You mean it wasn't already when the entire concept of horses got swapped out for giant chickens?

[true_noir]

Horses are not in my home. Now it is sitting there, smiling and dripping from my sodding, orange-juice soaked broom. There was a little distance before, if you will.

The screwdriver will never be the same.

[twelfthspark]

You smashed that sweet smiling face in with a *broom*? How could you-

actually yeah go ahead I can't really blame you.

[true_noir]

With alarming ease. It is no more, and there is a great deal of orange pulp everywhere. It was very dark, Arlene.

I am going to become a very big fan of bananas at this rate, mark my words.

[twelfthspark]

"Alarming ease"? Spoken like a true serial killer in the making. 💛

[IF THEY ONLY KNEW]

[true_noir]

Hmmmph. Very funny, my dear, but I am hardly what I could call a serial killer of little harmless oranges. I could not bear to look at its face afterwards. I will have nightmares about that smiling face.

[Soon, soon, the world would come crashing down.]

[spes_phthisica]

you want to hear something even more disturbing???

[WHY WOULD SHE, SOUJIROU? WHY? But he goes ahead regardless.]

imagine what the weird fruit looks like when it's moldy

not fun is what it looks like

[true_noir]

You should not be keeping molding fruit, sir. Especially if it smiles back at you and bounces. Throw it out.

[spes_phthisica]

well i usually forget about the fruit and it goes bad
but that was before the fruit had a face that could rot off D: D: D: D: D:
they look like something from a horror movie



i don't want to touch them џ(ºДºџ)

[true_noir]

First of all, eat your food. Scurvy is a real disease in the modern world, I am told. Mostly among foolish college students who live on twinkies and hohos, but still.

If you have salad tongs, use those to put them in the trash. It will be less creepy. Or put on heavy gloves.

[spes_phthisica]

yes yes everyone keeps saying that

[Possibly because Soujirou already HAS a possibly lethal condition and should be taking care of himself. He is not.]

also you can pry my twinkies from my cold dead hands so there （￣Ω￣）

i dont have tongs and i dont want ick on my gloves
ughhhh
maybe i could put a plastic bag over them so i wont have to see them

[Sorry about this actual manchild.]

[true_noir]

In due course, that may be arranged, but you will eat your twinkies better with teeth. So, I suggest at least Vitamin C tablets and a multivitamin, if you insist upon this course of action.

A plastic bag should suffice, yes. You are in college, aren't you?

[spes_phthisica]

well i'm not dead yet ;) and my teeth are fine

this is the grossest thing i've ever done
they're still MOVING even though theyre falling apart

y i'm studying at the university why

[true_noir]

I have heard stories of the personal habits of single college students. I did not actually believe them, but I am starting to. I do not know you, but I am very very tempted to come to your dorm room and clean.

[notyourutopian]

They don't stop.
Not even when you peel them.

Just have to work through it...

[true_noir]

That's a difficult thing for me. I can't feel comfortable looking at them. The fright when one surprised me in the dark was a bit too much for me.

[notyourutopian]

...it surprised you?

[true_noir]

I was walking home late, and I usually don't turn on the lights in my home before I leave, to save electricity. I saw something bouncing on top of the counter and took a broom to it before I saw what it was.

I honestly thought I had a rat or something similar, until I saw smiling orange rinds dripping from my broom.

[notyourutopian]

You were ambushed by an orange!!



hahahahahahah

[true_noir]

Ok, I will admit it. Now that my heart is not racing, and the disgusting thing is put in the trash...

It is a little funny.

[notyourutopian]

Sorry, sorry

But seriously
that's great.

hehehe


Oh man also Ambushed By Oranges would be a great band name

[true_noir]

Now, if only I could actually play an instrument. Life, it is not full of enough time for me to try all the pursuits I might wish, is it? I suppose the rock star life will simply have to wait.
