[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 cant believe this is a thing that actually has to be said and i can't believe i also have to agree with it

[arahoushi]

[Insert one (1) picture of Toshi here, holding up an apple he's obviously just cut in half. There's no face, because it's the back of an apple (but look close in the background and the face side can be seen still wiggling happily on the countertop), but it looks like--

yes.

Yes, Toshi has used a marker to draw a little butt on the non-face side of the apple.

He looks very pleased with himself.]

[sharplydressed]

[WHY IS HE THIS WAY. He shouldn't be surprised, and yet he is... Just staring at this fruit butt (and the marginally disturbing wiggling half in the background) and Toshi's pleased expression, wondering where he went wrong in life to lead him to this exact moment.]

don't look so happy about it, at least!

[arahoushi]

[Here see a second picture of--

Yeah, now he's eating the apple butt.]

[sharplydressed]

[There he goes, aging another 500 years as they speak...]

are you literally five??

[arahoushi]

lol sorry!

[He's not sorry.]

they do still taste totally fine though. You want me to bring you some fresh juice?

[sharplydressed]

[He can tell.]

well

if it still tastes fine...

what kind is it?

[arahoushi]

Orange juice

it's got vitamin C in it. good for your skin.

[Things Toshi likes to think he's learned: certain magic phrases like "good for your skin"]

[sharplydressed]

[He's learned well, honestly, because there's a little pause (while Kiyomitsu struggles with the idea of drinking the bLOOD OF A SMILING FRUIT) and then:]

fine, i'll take some. i guess i should try getting used to our new fruits right?

thanks for the offer

[arahoushi]

[Take solace in the knowledge that the fruit was in no pain and apparently enjoyed itself despite being dismembered, buddy.]

I'll bring some to you later. Or you can swing by the bar before the boss shows up and I'll let you in

[sharplydressed]

[Does that really make it better.]

i can come pick it up, that's fine. what was the name of your place again?

[arahoushi]

Inkwell. you've probably walked by it a few times.

just walk on in whenever you come by, ok?

[sharplydressed]

oh... inkwell?? isn't that the bar chuuya runs?

[He's known Toshi for how long now and only just recently met his boss...]

[arahoushi]

That's the one, and that's the boss. Swing by when you're free and if he's around just tell him you're coming by for the juice

[sharplydressed]

will do! i'll stop by around my lunch break then, see you! ﾟ*｡(･∀･)ﾟ*｡

[Might as well just get everyone at Inkwell used to seeing his face since he already promised Chuuya he'd stop by on his 21st birthday...]
