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.

See, that's what I was thinking - a dancing flower arrangement. If she's insane romantic enough to accept this sort of proposal, surely she could make it happen. Hopefully it doesn't sing too, though.

It even made me smile, in some sense - if you count grimacing and trying to figure out what I'm looking at as 'smiling.' It made me contort my face in a way vaguely similar to smiling.

[erythristic]

you're looking at one man's labor of love to propose to his dear one, set to the wonderful sounds of queen.

but don't contort too much. your face will get stuck that way, and what a pity.

[Chibi gets a vision, then, and a song stuck in his head.]

[That's not going anywhere.]

I don't know. If Jim can get a 'yes' with this, surely someone will come to love my disfigured, contorted face? :P

(I'll have to listen to the video again, though, to get rid of this horrible tune that just got stuck in my head. I have no idea where I heard it. It'll be driving me crazy for weeks)

[erythristic]

i've heard singing the tune can help with ridding yourself of one that's plaguing you. sometimes songs i heard when i was in my teens come back to haunt me in the morning, it's the only thing that helps.

[manolia]

Okay, now I'm sure I haven't heard this tune anywhere before, but I'm convinced it's what those flowers would sing.

Weird. Thanks, Retrospec.

[erythristic]

flowers? what are you talking about, chibi?

[manolia]

[He tilts his head at his phone and thinks...]

[What the hell is he talking about??]

You know how they cut the edible arrangement fruits into flowers? (And don't ask me how I know that.) A singing, dancing edible arrangement.

(Me, I'll stick with roses until the fabric of reality ceases to warp around me)

[erythristic]

and what if the world changes roses? where will you be?

where will i be, for that matter? it would be such a loss.
