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.

Ah... two apples at once, isn't that a little much? You might hurt yourself, or others, attempting a feat like that.

[alienates]

Don't be ridiculous, Yu.
I will stand a respectable distance before attempting such a dangerous feat.

[covenantal]

It warms me that you're so concerned for our safety. However, what about yourself? Aren't you undertaking too much risk?

[alienates]

With great power comes great responsibility blah blah.
Sometimes you have to take risks, even ones involving fruit that were probably grown via being injected with ecstasy.

[covenantal]

This is true. Still, I don't know if I could survive the heartbreak if something happened to you. If you're really going to attempt crushing two apples at once, please be careful.

[alienates]

I'll leave this with you.
It's a promise that I'll return to you, and when I come back you can give it back to me.
It's symbolism or some shit.

A token of our love... I almost can't bear to accept something so precious. I'll guard it with my life and anxiously await your return from the war.

[alienates]

The third martian fruit invasion isn't enough to keep us away from each other for too long.

[covenantal]

Our hearts will continue to beat as one, even when we're apart. Crush the fruit for me, darling.

[alienates]

With every orange slice vanquished, I will look into the distance and whisper your name...
Hoping that the winds will carry it back to you.
Your name not the dead fruit.

[covenantal]

I'd be pretty impressed if the wind could carry the corpses of our slain foes to me. Besides, I'd much rather have your whispers.

[alienates]

Not even the wind is strong enough to be able to carry the weight of my whispers to you, but I'll see what I can do.

[covenantal]

I'll accept romantic, flowery letters stained with your tears.

[alienates]

Stopping my tears from flowing enough so that the words will still be legible will be a challenge, but one I will proudly accept for your sake.

[covenantal]

My love, it warms my heart the way you fight for me. (´▽`ʃƪ)♡

[alienates]

We may be in a war, but love is always the true battle and I plan on never losing your affection. ╭(♡･ㅂ･)و ̑̑

[covenantal]

Karkat... ♡(｡￫ˇ艸￩) How could you lose something that will always be yours, no matter where you are?

[alienates]

Those words have just given me more hope than any other speech could. I'm touched.

[covenantal]

Do you think the novel about our love could be the next great American classic?

[alienates]

People will slam dunk their copies of Gone with the Wind in the garbage can because nothing will be able to compare to us.

[covenantal]

Of course, the fame and critical acclaim that come with redefining the American zeitgeist will be nothing compared to the warmth of your love.

[alienates]

I would trade it all away just for one extra second in your arms.
The general public is secondary to you.
