[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.

I hope Janet dumped his ass and then ran into the arms of someone more competent. I hope Jim got fired and now spends the rest of his evenings sneaking vodka into the unemployment lines.

Though considering they both work for Retrospec, probably not.

Maybe this is all just a diversion?
I mean, we've been claiming that this company has no idea what it's doing for weeks, and now suddenly we have proof that they obviously have no fucking idea what they're doing?
We have either been right all along or they're trolling us.

[antagonize]

I'm going to go with the former. The later would imply that I have a shred of belief in this garbage corporation's ability to play the long con.

[alienates]

That would be the perfect troll attempt.
But no I am leaning towards your side. I think a part of me is sincerely hoping that they are actually messing with us though?
Because otherwise it truly means there are human beings out there who are this incompetent and that changes my world view drastically, and not for the better.

[antagonize]

Sorry to say, I came out of the womb having zero faith in humanity. This just backs that up. Your faith in people's competence is sorely misplaced, dude.

[alienates]

I don't want to believe I was forced into a world this stupid.
That's just too fucking cruel.

[antagonize]

I'm sorry. We all have to accept the truth, sooner or later.

[alienates]

I am too young to have all my remaining faith ripped through my body to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody.

[antagonize]

Nah. You're never too young to have shit smeared all over everything decent and good in your life.

[alienates]

I am pretty sure that is the whole reason that clown themed birthday parties exist.
Make children learn early that the world is out to get them.

That, and Mall Easter Bunnies. Have you ever seen the pictures? It's the stuff of nightmares.

[alienates]

I had an encounter with one when I was small and it still haunts my dreams.
Especially those really old fashioned fursuits?
They're so nightmare fuelish.

[antagonize]

Nightmare fuel to us. Fetish fuel to others. Can't talk about fursuits without bringing that up, I'm afraid.

[ karkat wonders why must every single conversation he has always leads to furries ]

Think about it
The person who sat on the Easter Bunny's lap right before you did might have had their first sexual awakening right before your eyes.
