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.

Noah.

You are overthinking this. The fruit have faces; that doesn't make them sentient.

[redarm]

Tch. Yet.

[truedetective]

That would be a bridge too far. We haven't seen anything that suggests the changes fundamentally alter an object's nature, merely its appearance and some attributes.

[redarm]

yet. were only a couple months in.
who knows whatll happen next.

[truedetective]

That is an

ominous thought.

[redarm]

i know.
hey
have you gotten any weird visions?

[truedetective]

You're referring to what people are calling 'hallucinomemories' I imagine?

Nothing conclusive. Nothing that can't be explained away by stress and lack of rest.

Naoto it's either admirable or worrying how diehard you are to stick to logical realistic explanations ]

and a classmate's hair turning silver and suddenly fluent in Russian is...?

[truedetective]

That's different: We've already established that people's memories are being edited. Either those with the app or those without it.

Suppose it is our memories that are being tampered with. Chocobos did always exist; horses never did. How do we know that Anya couldn't speak Russian beforehand, or that her hair wasn't silver? We remember it.

Can we trust those memories?

[redarm]

[uuuuugh]

no i guess not.

[truedetective]

Hence our current predicament.

[redarm]

ugh. what a pain in the arse.

[truedetective]

That does about sum it up.
