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.

They're smiling. Every time I open the fridge. The apples look like freaky clowns.

It's some pretty creepy shit.

[clear_eyes]

I can imagine. But at the same time, it's superficial. I think once people get used to them, eating them won't be so... weird.

[divine_braid]

I'm just tired of weird changes. What the hell's going on around here lately?

[clear_eyes]

If we knew that, we'd either be a lot happier or have even bigger problems on our hands.

[divine_braid]

Probably. But, ignorance isn't always bliss. What we don't know, can probably do some damage.

[clear_eyes]

So... it'd be both, then. Until it all comes crashing down, I mean.

[divine_braid]

I guess. It's a lot to consider. It's like that what-if thing... where, if you had the chance to go back in time and tell yourself something... would you? Do you think it would make things better or worse if you had the same knowledge?

[clear_eyes]

... I think I would, to be honest. Even if it changed things. It'd be better to know things were going to get a bit better.

[divine_braid]

But what if you knew they were going to get worse?

[clear_eyes]

... I don't know. But I'm already the sum of my experiences, good or bad. I don't know if I like the idea of changing something just because it's painful...

[divine_braid]

That's a good way to look at it, I guess.

[clear_eyes]

I'll be honest. I have to remind myself of that quite a bit. But... it's helpful to remember.

[divine_braid]

I'll try to remember it, too.
