[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.

aren't apples and oranges like cats and dogs? [ where is she getting this information ]
then again, it's the only pome with a a face right now
so maybe it's only natural that it doesn't have any friends

[5kotai]

[ welp, he'll believe it. ]

oh no! then i'll get it another apple friend. maybe a green apple, unless red ones are the only ones with faces.

[ghostories]

now that would be too sad!
i think all apples should have equal face rights
if you find a green apple with a face, take a picture!

[5kotai]

i will!

i don't really like the sourness of green apples anyway, but they're good for pies.

[ meaning if they have faces, clearly they're the easiest to deal with for edible consumption. just... you gotta peel off the face first. ]

[ghostories]

wow, that's some apple discrimination right there lol
do you make pies?

[ she sees the opportunity for a sweet deal, she goes for it. ]

[5kotai]

i think pastries are easier, but the principal is the same. more sore fruit hold up better in baking!

[ you willing to exploit aki's cousin, yuuko...? ]

[ghostories]

[ yes but only if aki says it's okay

she'll... make her say okay... ]

you learn something new everyday!
you're aki's cousin, right?
i'm her best friend, yuuko
i want to try your pies someday!

[5kotai]

[ well he wouldn't say no if she wanted a snack... have fun with the negotiation though! ]

oh!
i'm glad she has a best friend, then she isn't all alone.
i'll be happy to make you something, and for aki too.

[ghostories]

[ Yeah, Aki's the loner type... Honestly, Yuuko's glad she's here to keep Aki company, too. ]

if you want...
why don't we all have pie together?
the three of us, i mean!
aki and i can come over and we can get to know each other!

[ of course she doesn't think about how uncomfortable this might be for him... okay, she knows that much, but she wants to meet aki's cute cousin. and also eat pie. ]

[5kotai]

sure? i'd have to ask my aunt if guests are okay. but maybe we can try making one together, that sounds fun!

would you like to peel and cut the apples?

[ Admit it, she'd want to... if she can get past landlady aunt, the first line of defense. RIP ]

[ghostories]

[ is landlady aunt that scary... she'll need aki's help in that case ]

yes!!!
i've never made a pie before
but it sounds like fun!
i'll do my best, chef!

[5kotai]

[ Well, in this happy and ridiculous world, Mrs. Ryo did give birth to and raised up this rascal (on the left)... she is also the One Thing he probably fears without fail when the lady is mad. ]

how about we make mini pies! then we each can have one. also, much more manageable than one big pie.

[ at least one of them will turn out good this way, right? ]

[ghostories]

[ i can't believe mutsu has a demon mom ]

oh, good idea!
all this talk of pie is making me hungry...
i have to get something to eat now
let me know if it's okay with your aunt, alright?
i'll see you around!

[5kotai]

[ The women of the Sakamoto Family: kind, mature, but also know how to whip the boys in shape. ]

alright! i hope you find something delicious. i'll talk to auntie and aki.
