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.

That's so wasteful Garry-san. Fruits have always been alive, they're just alive a little different now.

well, i'm glad to know at least you don't seem to be that bothered by all this
esperimental: (... idgi)

[personal profile] esperimental 2017-03-18 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
It's only as disturbing as you allow it to be. Mostly I'm bothered a silent household can have their fruit ruin the peace and quiet.

that's...one way to put things in perspective, i suppose!

still, i don't think i have the stomach for this. (;*△*;)

Then start with the eyes so they can't look at you back, you wimp.

At least donate the rest of your dancing fruit. The "normal people" won't care about eating them.

[ RITSU?

Garry's taken aback, and maybe just slightly offended (though Ritsu wasn't technically wrong. But he's a respectable male adult so he's not going to let it show. Smfh! ]


well
that does sound better than throwing them in the garbage. i dislike wasting food
would you like to eat them perhaps??
esperimental: (senpai stop reading my mind)

[personal profile] esperimental 2017-03-19 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
We already made fruit salad and juice today to study if anything else about their anatomy changed, but I guess more wouldn't hurt.

that's...very progressive of you!

so did you find anything new out, or are they just like regular fruit?
esperimental: (wow another idiot. oustanding)

[personal profile] esperimental 2017-03-20 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Everything's the same, other than the clatter they make in the fridge. I'd recommend not buying in bulk, or only for immediate consumption.

Maybe turning baskets into fruit jails could be a new investment.

[personal profile] rosebleue 2017-03-21 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
i wonder if they ever get tired of hopping around like that

fruit jails?? i guess that's one way to keep them tame. wouldn't want them to run around the house if they can do that
esperimental: (how to admit)

[personal profile] esperimental 2017-03-22 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
It is mysterious, they don't have any organs or muscles indicative that they should be capable of motion.

I don't know, they seem pretty eager to be eaten, the ones in our house treated the counter as the most glorified stage.

[personal profile] rosebleue 2017-03-24 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
i can't imagine being happy about being eaten but i suppose...they are fruit....so they'd just be fulfilling their purpose

they sure are making a big spectacle out of it though it seems
esperimental: (contemplation)

insert callout here if i was anyone other than your gf

Maybe they're trying to save themselves from the inability of rotting, dancing sadly in a murky color with the inevitability of death. A choice between a dignified and quick end or a slow agonizing one.

[ THEY SHOULD SHARE WITH THE CLASS he's already brooding in his diary enough who knows maybe he has a future there ]

For the most part only intelligent life engage in fun but...

Who knows. That they all chose dance would be a hypothetical miracle in itself.


[ He's this close to considering it worthy of a study, but also on the other hand, Ritsu's certain he'd give himself a headache trying to find outliers. ]
