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.

my answer would have been the same, ardyn. a video wouldn't change that.

You'd still have the heart to decline even after all the laborious video editing I'd have to suffer through, in the name of romance?

Cruel indeed.
erythristic: (question.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-18 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
while your commitment to the task at hand would be admirable, the same impediments to marriage would exist.

besides, i never claimed to not be a cruel woman.

[personal profile] daemonized 2017-03-18 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Surely you can overlook trifling "impediments" when singing fruit is involved. Even your cruelty has its limitations.
erythristic: ((formal: antique.))

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-18 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
those "trifling" impediments become of the utmost importance when marriage is involved. a singing fruit cannot cover faults in a relationship.
daemonized: (57)

[personal profile] daemonized 2017-03-18 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you just haven't met or seen the right singing fruit yet.

Also, are you saying our
[he's avoiding the word "relationship" here, because. Well. Only two dates.] association with one another is littered with /faults/?

["Association" is a very lawyer-y word to settle on, in hindsight.]
erythristic: (dream.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-18 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
[could you sound more legal, Ardyn.]

i'm saying that the reasons i outlined for declining still would stand had you sent me a video instead, not that our association has faults. don't misunderstand, it's actually quite pleasant.

[personal profile] daemonized 2017-03-18 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[He could, but why would you want to suffer through a conversation mired in legalese, honestly.]

It's a willful misunderstanding, I'll admit. [Being jokingly difficult because it's him, basically.] "Pleasant" is only one of many words I'd use to describe it.

But I digress.
[how dare he digress after saying something like that?] Let's talk about how fruit is now musically inclined.
erythristic: (idea.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-18 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
everyone else seems to think there's nothing wrong. just like before, with the horses.

also the fruit don't seem to have a preference as to what music's being played, though i haven't seen if they have an expression other than smiling to convey emotion.


[they've got that property of matching up to the beat of any song.]

[personal profile] daemonized 2017-03-19 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder if I should try cutting into one yet? Or if anyone else has dared to eat an apple even while it's smiling innocently up at you? I'm afraid to be the first, and I'm waiting for some other brave (or heartless) soul to take the first step.
erythristic: (use.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-20 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
someone has to be willing. in the name of science, in saving us all to see if apples still taste like apples. i think as long as i didn't look at the face it wouldn't be that bad.
daemonized: (37)

[personal profile] daemonized 2017-03-20 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Why don't you have a go at it then, Grell? Just close your eyes.
erythristic: (effortless.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-20 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
i don't have any fruit with me. the experiment will have to be postponed.
daemonized: (02)

[personal profile] daemonized 2017-03-20 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
It hardly has to be right this minute. Though if it's a singing apple you require, I'm more than happy to bring one over.
erythristic: (dream.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-20 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
i'd take you up on that if i wasn't going back to work.

Some other time then. I'll need to unload all of the fruit from my home onto /someone/, somehow. I'm not keeping them in my fridge. [He's already calling the fruit "them", what a riot.]
erythristic: (doors.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-20 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
give it to your students. they'll appreciate anything free.

[especially food.]
daemonized: (45)

[personal profile] daemonized 2017-03-20 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I do love giving my students reasons to be distracted and not pay attention to my lectures. Can you imagine, me trying to speak over a choir of melodious fruit? What a disaster of a class that would be.
erythristic: (truth.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-20 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
just reveal the musical fruit at the end and let their other teachers sort it out.
daemonized: (38)

[personal profile] daemonized 2017-03-20 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You realize that this would surprise only a handful of them? If this is anything like the chocobos, most of my students won't consider it anything out of the ordinary. They'll start to think their professor a madman for handing out mundane, everyday fruit at the end of each lecture. Wouldn't you?
erythristic: (effortless.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-20 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
put them in the blender then to get rid of them without waste. no faces, that way.
daemonized: (33)

[personal profile] daemonized 2017-03-21 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[on his side, he actually laughs a little at that.]

I didn't realize you had this darker side to you, Grell. So eager to blend up innocent little fruit faces into an amorphous slush of nothingness.
erythristic: (shadow.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-21 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
now you're making me sound positively heartless when all i was doing was offering a nutritious way to solve your problem. i may be cruel, but i'm not going to rejoice in their demise.
daemonized: (06)

[personal profile] daemonized 2017-03-21 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Premeditated murder is often considered an heartless act by many. I hardly know what to tell you.

[Yes, this has laughably escalated to fruit murder now.]
erythristic: ((formal: antique.))

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-22 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
you're calling me a murderer when these fruits have been plucked from their trees, nevermore to grow or feel the sunlight enter their cells. all we have is the slowly decaying body to deal with, and i'm the one who murdered here? they dance, but are they alive?
