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.

[Ardyn can certainly tell you about it someday. First impressions are lingering things, you know.]

It may seem that way to the innocent bystander, but I assure you that it is indeed a betrayal most unfortunate.

[An over-exaggeration, partly for the sake of being ridiculous, but it also reveals a bit of his, ah, opinion of the man.]

Though if you're sincere about your heart being so thoroughly wounded, I'll say no more and retract all of my previous statements.
erythristic: (quiet.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-23 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
i am wounded, if only because i never intended a betrayal, and now, such words! but do not hold back the tide of your opinion for my sake - if i am to wound you, wear it openly so we might know, that the proper guilt be assigned.

You'd have me speak openly, throwing courtesy to the wind? I'm only leashing my tongue for the sake of propriety.

[As paper thin as it is. If she asks again, he'll gladly share.]
erythristic: ((formal: antique.))

network -> text.

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-23 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
[it's his phone that will go off next, actually, with a real text message instead of Retrospec.]

if you're concerned with propriety, then consider it upheld, for i won't speak a word against you for what you say in private. yes, i'd have you speak openly, for the record.

private text!

[His phone buzzes with a text message proper, and Ardyn doesn't take terribly long to respond to it.]

Then I'll be frank. My opinion of Detective Gabranth is rather lacking. His bluntness borders on being ill-mannered, he lacks a distinct sense of humor, and he's quick to let his irritation overturn his consideration of others.

[W o w? Sorry, Gab.]
erythristic: (interest.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-24 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
and how did you garner such an impression? from what i know of him, yes noah is blunt and occasionally can't take a joke or gets irritated, but i'd not go as far as you have. though i freely admit my bias with knowing him well enough to call him a casual friend.

I'm not exactly enamored by his previous treatment of one of my students. I believe the words were something along the lines of, "roll over and die."

[He's paraphrasing a bit, but that was the general idea of it. Also Ardyn, Prompto is not one of your students, he just sits in your class sometimes. (And the text above will one day be revealed to be terribly, painfully ironic for reasons currently unknown to both of them.)

Regardless, it was a great little exchange, really.]


Admittedly, a bias of my own, but one difficult to shake.

noah said that? i don't think you have a reason to lie to me, but that sounds so unlike him that it's hard to take in.

[Noah telling someone that? either they deserved it or he must have been possessed by the worst mood known to man. being occasionally irritable and stern didn't mean he went around verbally attacking people. no wonder Ardyn dislikes him, though.]

if he has any grace, he'll make amends and take the consequences. be it the result of aggressive insanity or something else. i'm sorry to your student for it.

He intended to apologize, or so he told me. [To be completely fair, he has to at least admit that much. And yet-]

But that doesn't change the fact that Mr. Argentum did not deserve to be addressed in such a way. I think the boy already suffers from self-doubt and self-esteem issues; you can imagine his reaction to being told that he might as well die, just because he was wondering about the extent of an /injury/ that he was sporting.
erythristic: (blink.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-25 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[there's a pause there while she actually does need to attend to things, but after about an hour, she replies.]

no, of course he didn't deserve to hear that. and i hope he's doing alright right now, both physically and emotionally.

[and she doesn't know what would have possessed Noah to say it, but she's reluctant to accuse him of anything without all the facts. Grell respects him too much to go on hearsay alone.]

i don't ask you or mr. argentum to change your opinions. all i'll say is that if noah said he was going to apologize, then he will, and he'll mean it, regardless of whether it's accepted or not. he won't beg for forgiveness, but he'll own his actions. what happens next remains to be seen by all three of you.

[And Ardyn will not try to convince her otherwise of his character; it's not his place, and yes, he is a bit biased. He's not lacking in so much self-awareness to not realize that much.

(But this doesn't magically make him think highly of the detective, either.)]


Of course. It seems I'll be forced to deal with him one way or another, since he's rather keen on interrupting pleasant conversations.
erythristic: (truth.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-25 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
don't worry, i haven't forgotten where we were. somewhere with you accusing me of having no heart for apples because i pointed out if we're to avoid eating anything with a face then we can't eat any meats.

When you put it like that, so concisely, it sounds rather ridiculous in retrospec.

[The message is sent, and then, soon after:]

*retrospect.

This app has ruined me.
erythristic: (doors.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-25 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
in time, it will claim us all. watch. we'll habitually leave off the t at the end of words.

my point still stands about putting the dancing fruit in a blender.

Don't say such an awful thing. I take pride in my ability to always put the letter "t" in its proper place.

Evidence seems to point towards the fact that they don't feel pain.
[As much as he hates to admit it, since it was Gabranth's willingness to experiment that revealed this much.] I'll concede that I was hasty in labelling you heartless. Could you ever forgive me?
erythristic: (sunset.)

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-26 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
you were forgiven before you even asked. my wounds had enough time to heal over the course of our conversation.

What did I ever do to deserve such generosity?

[personal profile] erythristic 2017-03-26 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
more than enough, i'll say.
