[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 we are mere guinea pigs to them?

Blasted curs! This will not stand! How dare they reduce Ranko Kanzaki to the level of a wriggling grub? If this allegation is true, we must shout our battle cry to the heavens and fend off their dubious machinations posthaste!

[truedetective]

Why are you talking like this?

[legne]

It is my normal vernacular. I apologize if my esoteric exclamations are difficult to understand, but one finds one cannot help oneself. [ That's a lot of ones! ]

[truedetective]

I didn't say I couldn't understand it. It's perfectly comprehensible.

It's just ridiculous.

[legne]

Ridiculous? Such a close-minded accusation! What is the harm in expanding one's vocabulary and bellowing it forth into the abyss? [ Or typing it, as the case may be. ]

[truedetective]

This is completely separate from developing one's vocabulary. My vocabulary is perfectly serviceable. I'm just not talking like I'm in some juvenile comic book.

[legne]

My veracious vocabulistics are the product of far grander tomes than mere comic books!

What is the point of learning a glut of literary incantations if not to use them?

[truedetective]

How on earth are you remotely coming away from this conversation with the impression that my problem is your using complex words and not how you're using them? What world do you believe you live in?

[legne]

Alas, I am all too aware of the world I have been banished to, that I nomadically traverse on tattered wings in search of the truth. Little gives me pleasure in life, except my own echoing chants and murmured songs.

Therefore, I intend to use the incantations you take issue with as frequently as possible. So...that's that! [ weak ending, ranko ]

[truedetective]

This is ridiculous. You're being ridiculous. [But good lord, this girl.]

[legne]

Only according to your own personal point of view. [ that's just, like, your opinion, man ] As such, you keep using that word repeatedly, and will never ascend to a higher plane of enlightenment. Come now, open your heart to a new thunderstruck horizon!

[truedetective]

"Thunderstruck horizon"

What does that even mean? You think you're speaking eloquently but what you're saying is gibberish.

[legne]

Certainly not!

[ That was less composed than she would like. Ranko continues, although she knows she's not going to get her point across at this stage. (What that point actually was in the first place is another matter.) ]

To one whose eyes remain closed, much that exists on this planet will remain beyond comprehension, including my own methods. It is only when you open your third eye that you may see that horizon in all its thunderstruck glory.

Until then, I will withdraw back into my silken shrouds, and bid adieu.

[truedetective]

Everything about this has been a waste of my time.
