[recollecters]

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.

Then I hope Janet is prepared for a life of mediocrity and possibly having to deal with a divorce settlement in 5-10 years.
There is no way this marriage will last.
He couldn't even use decent font for the actual question?

[caelestialis]

Marriages come in all shapes and sizes. And font choices. If that is even a thing to consider these days in the landscape of blissful matrimony.

Maybe it's a personal thing between the two of them. Maybe true love will allow them to prevail despite fonts and all,

[alienates]

If it's a personal thing then I will have to tell them to keep it personal and not involve the goddamn rest of us.
Oh my fuck, what if she responds like he does?
With a six minute long video??

[caelestialis]

[ alright- she has to laugh a little bit at the image of that. goodness gracious. ]

Then they truly deserve one another if she's willing to take the same amount of time to sit down and edit a response that long.

We can only hope her choice of font is more sophisticated. Papyrus, perhaps?

[alienates]

Hmmm
I don't know.
Janet strikes me as the kind of lady who won't change the font from the default setting.

[caelestialis]

Perhaps she will help Jim see the error of his ways.

If it's not broke, don't use a different type of font. We can dream, can't we?

[alienates]

Maybe.
But she should not have to waste her valuable(????) time to help his sorry ass out.
He kind of seems like a lost cause at this point.

[caelestialis]

Who knows what binds them together? The fact he uses that sort of font at all? The fact she hasn't taken down the video yet because of sentimental value?

True love is often blind in many aspects. A little strange but it could be worse for them, I think.

[alienates]

Maybe she doesn't have access to the social media stuff?
That is the only reason I can think of that isn't completely absurd.

Oh man, you're right!
He could have picked a worse song.

[caelestialis]

My goodness! I can only imagine her reaction than if Jim tried to show her all of this. Our conversations and reactions included.

And I have to ask- What would be a worse song to you? I was thinking they could have used Sweet Dreams, personally.

[alienates]

I'd be soooo embarrassed if I were her, holy shit. We all know her personal business now.

Imagine: This video set to a Vanilla Ice song.

[caelestialis]

To be fair I'm sure she knows our and for a long time too. I'm still impressed they got my entire name right when getting my account set up.

Karkat! We have to theoretically choose a song. Not a whole discography.

[alienates]

I'm impressed by a lot of the bullshit they managed to do while simultaneously failing at others.

What if the video just consisted of his whole discography? You know how people will upload entire albums in one video, right? It could be like that, only worse.

[caelestialis]

If they did the sort of thing you described- I think that's the moment we revolt against this app.

Anyone who unleashes the horrors of Vanilla Ice on unsuspecting innocents are truly nefarious masterminds who must be stopped.

[alienates]

That will probably be the last straw.
They can take away our horses and our non-dancing fruit, but subjecting us to Ice Ice Baby?
Fuck no. We riot.

[caelestialis]

Darn right we do!

What do we want? Actual music. When do we want it? Anytime that anyone dare suggest we listen to Vanilla Ice against our will.

[alienates]

Especially in a terrible video format when we were expecting actual, solid information and got
I can't even say what we got because what the fuck

Alright that doesn't roll off the tongue as well as what you said.

[caelestialis]

Better music, better music videos!

Because if we must have these sort of videos now and then, they might as well be high in production and entertainment. And I thought it your slogan had a catchy vibe to it. It'll take a lot of passion to make it work but it's doable.

[alienates]

I can be passionate.

Hahaha
What if next time they actually come up with some sort of Hollywood grade music video?

[caelestialis]

Hmmm!

I think I'll literally eat one of my sweaters. A favourite of mine too. That will be the same day when pigs fly so I doubt that'll happen. For one thing we have to assume that Jim is the one still in charge of video editing and.

You know. He has a distinct style.

[alienates]

The distinct style, also known as, lack of one.

Maybe they let him do it because they think it's hilarious.

[caelestialis]

Aw I feel bad for Jim now if that's the case.

He clearly put a lot of his heart and soul into this video. Despite it being questionable.

[alienates]

If the other people involved are any way competent, then he is either putting this stuff out here without passing it by anyone else, or they are aware and are just letting him get away with it for shits and giggles.

[caelestialis]

Oh.

You have a point there. No matter how you slice it it looks like they're all pulling our legs. [ which is rather rude but it seems to be their thing since they downloaded their app into phones without asking first. ]

[alienates]

I'm not sure which option I prefer?
Neither actually.
They're both terrible. We really should look into that suing plan.
