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.

so the question is why those four? what makes apples oranges lemons and limes different?
unless it was just too much effort to put faces on anything that didn't have a big flat surface

[rosebleue]

that is some fruit for thought
...
no pun intended

i suppose that's as good a guess as any, though i'm still trying to wrap my head around how and why they just grew faces out of nowhere

[chiseler]

I'll take puns over whatever this is
do you think if we peeled off their faces they'd just grow back somehow?

[rosebleue]

uhm, when i peeled the apple it didn't seem like the face reappeared...
it just kinda
stayed on the peel?

[chiseler]

...see now I don't know what's creepier, the former idea or that. so the peel just stares at you while you mutilate the fruit's body
I quit. this is getting too weird for me to want to know

[rosebleue]

i think we all need some time to just. come to terms with all this
i know i'll be taking a break from apples and oranges for a while

[chiseler]

wish I could say the same, but I've got a business to run
guess I can add "fruit murderer" to my resume though? man
but the rest of that sounds about right...coming to terms with stuff. eventually we settled on the no-horses thing right? sort of. maybe it's just like that
