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!

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.

Yuki Sato WHAT IS THAT ON YOUR FACE AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT POOR LEMON
Yuki Sato Wait, are you trying to eat a lemon? People eat lemons?!

Akira Midousuji you wouldn't eat a lemon?? not even if it had a bright, inviting smile splitting open its rind that just BEGGED you to tear into it??

Yuki Sato No?? No one would??? They're sour! And they're smiling for no apparent reason??

Akira Midousuji that's a generalization. saying NO ONE means I wouldn't have eaten that lemon, which I did. SOMEONE eats them, because he's not put off by trivial things like you are.

Yuki Sato You.....ate it. Do you have a vitamin C deficiency or something? People don't normally eat lemons. Something that's smiling and sour isn't something that people would put at the top of their list of Things I Should Eat Today.

Akira Midousuji I don't need a vitamin C deficiency to want to eat a lemon with a face. I'm not a weak baby, so I don't care about whether something's sour or smiling or whatever. it's not. that. complicated?

Yuki Sato I see. It's not complicated, that's true. But I'm pretty sure what you're doing is oversimplifying it. Would you eat a person, then? If they could help you with you vitamin C deficiency.

Akira Midousuji you're asking me such weirdly specific questions. it's gross, you know that? IT'S
Akira Midousuji A LEMON

Yuki Sato I'm worried because I don't think that was a hard no.

Akira Midousuji lemons aren't people, no matter how you look at ittttttt
Akira Midousuji do YOU hold humans on the same level as lemons now that they've sprouted faces? is that what you're saying here? because that's super creepy.....

Yuki Sato It has a face. It's happy and making noises. It has human characteristics. I'm not holding a human on the same level as a lemon. I'm holding the lemons on the same level as a human. There's a difference.
Yuki Sato Also why can't you just say "No, I have never eaten a person."

Akira Midousuji in case you're too weak to cut open a lemon for yourself, I'll tell you: they lack brains. they lack nerves. they lack larynges, too. they're fleshy fruits with seeds inside, like they always have been and always will be.
Akira Midousuji how embarrassing! that you've been comparing lemons to humans just because they have faces now. that's completely unreasonable!

Yuki Sato Having the ability to cut a lemon doesn't make you strong. And having a brain, nerves and larynges isn't the only thing that makes us human.

Yuki Sato And I'm not embarrassed about this. I think it's really reasonable. What's wrong with worrying about hurting something? I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Akira Midousuji really
Akira Midousuji gross
Akira Midousuji oh, this isn't meant to be a joke? you REALLY have no shame in saying this? GROSS
Akira Midousuji I can't believe this. somebody here seriously thinks lemons can be related to humans!

Yuki Sato What's so gross about it, then?
Yuki Sato And it's GROSS because it's GROSS isn't a reason.

Akira Midousuji because you're being creepy, placing lemons on the same level as humans! this isn't some deep matter, Yuki. it's pre
Akira Midousuji tty
Akira Midousuji cut and dry

Yuki Sato Well you're being way creepier for being able to eat something like that lemon.

Akira Midousuji so when I draw a smilie face on a pear, is in inedible?? no. it's a pear. this should go without saying, but look, I have a moron telling me that lemons should be protected from all harm just because of this recent development.

Yuki Sato The problem with that is that you didn't draw a face on these lemons. Nobody did, as far as we know.
