[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.

then how do we know she isn't the type to want a public proposal? some girls love the big show of it.

[voicelessresistance]

It's certainly possible

And you can't get bigger than making all the apples in the world dance, can you...

[erythristic]

you think this jim changed the fruit in the world? how likely is that, realistically?

[voicelessresistance]

Honestly?
If not individually, he had to at least be involved.
Otherwise this is a remarkable coincidence.

[erythristic]

i don't think it likely that a man who works for a company who made a phone app - a very persistent, strange app, but an app nonetheless - could replace entire species overnight. there's got to be something much deeper involved, but don't ask me what it is. spontaneous mutations aren't my specialty.

[voicelessresistance]

I wouldn't think they could do any of the things they've apparently done.
Have you looked at any old art?

Because the fruit is changed there too.

[erythristic]

i'm not surprised. the same thing happened with the chocobos.

[voicelessresistance]

Ugh, the chocobo thing will never stop giving me a headache.
At least I realized the fruit changed with everyone else.

Was it as strange when the horses changed?

[erythristic]

you didn't realize? it was even more bizarre because none of us had ever seen anything like it. every movie, picture, real life horse, all of it changed. some were deeply traumatized by the experience.

[voicelessresistance]

Not until Jack pointed it out.

I even went to the parade last month and didn't realize anything was wrong.

[erythristic]

that's strange, given that i saw such a wave of posts complaining about the change. do you remember horses all the way back into your childhood?

[voicelessresistance]

Not until the beginning of the month.
I'm apparently rather late to the show.
