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!



Cheers!

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.

Exactly. Now rinse and repeat until a consistent practice.

DO YOU NOT REALIZE HOW MESSED UP THAT SOUNDS???
esperimental: (oh)

[personal profile] esperimental 2017-03-27 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
But they're not alive? They don't change expression or make noise, so they don't care. It's all fine?
loudmouths: (🌟 go! run! you're free!)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2017-03-27 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
they're like, plants or whatever, right?! They're alive anyway!!
esperimental: (focus)

Technically, only the seeds themselves. It's their final purpose to be eaten and the seeds released from their encasement to propagate their kind?

Stealing away their ultimate purpose is more cruel. This fruit cover is just a joyous prison guard.


[ HIS PERSPECTIVES ARE TOO OBJECTIVE up until. that last sentence. what. ]
loudmouths: (🌟 it makes sense on paper)

...

Man, you're... pretty intense.

You've gotta have an iron stomach to be able to eat something that smiles at you...
esperimental: (huh? me?)

Can't it be interpreted as happiness to serve their purpose? I mean, not that I think they truly have emotions. The fruit salad made no further fuss.

[ Yeah he and his guardian have already gone that far. ]
loudmouths: (🌟 oh no not again)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2017-03-27 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
I mean... I guess that's one way of looking at it? But...

I can't get over the fact that they have faces... Even if they can't feel anything, they move around! It's too bizarre! I don't think I could eat a fruit salad ever again, at this rate!
esperimental: (... idgi)

Their faces and movements are too unrealistic for me to feel bad for them. Like, becoming a vegetarian is one thing (and some are discarding even that now), but these don't seem to have any semblance of survival instincts if they're not running away from getting chopped, right?
