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.

Charlotte Sakata that's a good idea... I don't know why i didnt think about that
Charlotte Sakata except i'm not really good at dancing, so I'm a bit afraid to try
Charlotte Sakata ...have you tried?

[ to unlock this fruity mystery!! ]

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-18 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ryoji Mochizuki no, but i can try right now!

[ regardless of whether he's any good at dancing, any moves he pulls off in front of his audience of oranges doesn't seem to matter ]

Ryoji Mochizuki okay
Ryoji Mochizuki i think i was able to relay my eagerness to communicate with them
Ryoji Mochizuki but it's hard to tell if they're smiling and dancing because they're happy and excited for me
Ryoji Mochizuki or if they're smiling and dancing because that's what they do... smile and dance

[ Even if Ryoji can't see or hear her, Charlotte is rooting for him!!! Dance your little heart out man. ]

Charlotte Sakata i like to think they were happy and excited for you
Charlotte Sakata im kind of sad i wasn't able to see your performance. i bet it was great!

Ryoji Mochizuki i tried my best!
Ryoji Mochizuki hopping all around the kitchen, arms in the air like tree branches reaching for the sun!
Ryoji Mochizuki since i was hoping the fruit and i could make that connection
Ryoji Mochizuki fruit is a bit hard to relate to

Charlotte Sakata your best is what truly counts!
Charlotte Sakata i mean, I guess you're right about that, huh?
Charlotte Sakata maybe it'd be a bit different if these fruits can talk-- but i think that'd make the whole "eating them" thing a bit more awkward..huh?

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-18 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Ryoji Mochizuki that's true
Ryoji Mochizuki i think i can accept them as long as i don't eat them raw
Ryoji Mochizuki it's like having a live chicken or freshly caught fish right?
Ryoji Mochizuki that can also dance and make sad faces, but many people don't give a second thought in eating

Charlotte Sakata oh yeah! I would never want to eat something alive... i don't think i could handle it stare at me

[ eww ]

Charlotte Sakata maybe if i cut the apples up into slices it wont be too bad... i still feel rude for doing it though
Charlotte Sakata maybe we could just make smoothies

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-18 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Ryoji Mochizuki it'll be okay
Ryoji Mochizuki tell the apple "thank you for being food" and chop it in half
Ryoji Mochizuki Jade says they stop moving after that, so it's fine!
Ryoji Mochizuki besides, apple peanut butter smoothies sound delicious~

Charlotte Sakata that almost sounds violent the way you put it. but it's technically... just an apple anyway
Charlotte Sakata apple and peanut butter smoothies? I never tried that before! is it good?

[personal profile] appraiser 2017-03-18 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Ryoji Mochizuki whoops
Ryoji Mochizuki i guess taking a knife to anything will seem violent any way i phrase it
Ryoji Mochizuki but in the end, it's an apple and if you mix it with peanut butter, banana, and some milk,
Ryoji Mochizuki it's sweet and thick and delicious
