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.

It's fine. They'll just bury our corpses under the Irish step-dance of the same fruit that sent us to our graves.

Perhaps that's how they're grown?
They get their nutrients from our decaying bodies and it turns them into My Little Frankenstein.

That's ten times more worrying than the fact they have faces and dance at all.
Please don't ever say that again.

Sometimes you have to face uncomfortable circumstances in order to become a stronger person.
In this case, it's fruit eating corpse juice.

Hard pass.
I'll take a group project with three other F-grade people.
I'll take a bowl of dry cereal.
I'll even hold a baby whose diaper hasn't been changed in half a day.
Just don't give me corpse juice subsisting fruits.

Wait
Dry cereal is amazing, what the fuck.
Ok so it depends on the brand but the point still stands.

Yeah, as a desperate snack. Fruit Loops maybe.
But I don't want to eat the smiling dehydrated faces of strawberries in Special K.

Well your first mistake is actually willingly eating Special K.

As a college student, sometimes those desperate times call for desperate measures.
It's either eating smiling noodle cups or smiling Special K.

Wow
I am not even in college yet and you're making me want to drop out.

Maybe by the time you're in the college, all of the school supplies will have smiling faces, too.
You can pay for your books with smiling paper bills.

Maybe our fingers will have smiling faces by then too, so whenever you flip someone off it'll be with a happy grin?

I don't know what's worse, your smiling fingers or Lamb's killer broccoli.

We could combine the two in order to have the ultimate horror concoction.

Smiling killer broccoli fingers?
Aren't you too young to be allowed in for these R-rated horror movies?

I'm not in middle school you wiseass.
And please. Smiling killer broccoli fingers should be watched by all age groups.
The fear that it instills into you will build character.

Yeah and an exodus away from healthy vegetables.
Do you want to become a doctor? That sounds a lot like medical field talk.
"Keep 'em sick to keep 'em coming back."

Well first of all, what doctors are you going to?
I need to make sure to never go to that office.

You won't be going to any doctors then.
That's what they all probably do.
Haven't you heard of taking the "Hypocritical" Oath?

Alright so I have a question for you, and it's what doctor murdered your entire family because you have a very strong vendetta here that I am sensing.

I'm just explaining why it's a bad idea to let children watch smiling killer broccoli finger horror movies.

You let us get too sidetracked on that metaphor.
You have to have a tighter hold on the steering wheel or else we are going to fly right off the road of symbolic language.

Hope you're wearing your seatbelt.
Or are you supposed to be in a booster seat?

The booster seat.
It's the only way I'll be able to look you in your face since your inflated ego is probably lifting you up a few feet.

Give yourself a little credit. I probably have a couple of inches on you anyway.
