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.

At least the chocobos are cute.

Are they in sync?

[commandertoolbelt]

if you’re into giant chickens i guess

NO THEY’RE NOT and it's driving me crazy
crazier
the little dudes are in serious need of some dance lessons

[notyourutopian]

Have you tried petting one?

Wow.
They should at least have the common decency to follow a pattern if they're going to smile like that.

[commandertoolbelt]

no, have you? do they purr or something?

thank you finally someone agrees
maybe if i play some music for them they’ll actually find the beat

[notyourutopian]

No they're just soft.
They really are a lot like horses.
Except...birds.

Hey, give it a try.
Can't be worse than the film we watched.

[commandertoolbelt]

oh cool
i’m still wondering about the mechanics of actually riding one though
they don’t look anywhere near as stable as riding horses

okay so it turns out they like music and can actually sort of dance in sync when you play something for them

[notyourutopian]

There's some farms on the edge of town.
Maybe they'd give you lessons.

Oh cool.
...Sort of cool.
Not helping my 'they aren't alive' argument

[commandertoolbelt]

i don't know, personally i’m not really into the giant chicken aesthetic

i know, right?
there’s got to be some law of nature against these guys existing
how can they have faces and dance if they're not alive or some kind of fruit robot

[notyourutopian]

One of my little sister's takes riding lessons.
Except now it's on birds instead of horses.
I had to drive her over there a couple times. They're pretty nice.
Just...birds.

Man.
I don't know.
Maybe we should ask some biologists.
Even if they think they're normal they must have studied them right?

[commandertoolbelt]

i feel like i'd get motion sickness with how bad those things wobble but power to her if she can handle it

...okay that’s actually a good idea
problem is i don’t know any biologists and i don’t think the science teacher at school really counts

[notyourutopian]

There are some university professors on here maybe one of them knows a biologist.
