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.

oh that much is true! we don't know janet's preferences.

if you were going to get proposed to with a song, do you know who you'd want to sing it?

[thirtybits]

It would have to be Hips Don't Lie by Shakira or nothing.

[erythristic]

when it's your turn to be proposed to, i'll make sure to slip your significant other the message so they don't end up with the macarena.

[thirtybits]

Well first of all I'm not sure that'll ever happen but Mambo Number Five would also be acceptable. Maybe a mashup? I mean if we're going with dance hits and they really wanted something Macarena-like

[erythristic]

if they really love you they'll pick shakira.

[thirtybits]

Aaah you're right I shouldn't settle. Mambo Number Five is more of a first dance song anyway, the one will know that.

But what about YOU, what's it going to be?

[erythristic]

i don't want a song for my proposal. i want something intimate, private. a moment that exists only between us. even if it's just turning to me one day when we're alone and asking me if i'd consider offering my hand.

[thirtybits]

omg that's actually really sweet you weren't supposed to say something so cute!!

[erythristic]

i thought you wanted me to answer honestly.

[thirtybits]

Well I mean you could sure, though I assumed that might be a bit personal.

Mine wasn't serious though

[erythristic]

so your beloved's going to have to work much harder to win your hand. well i've no doubts that you're worth it, so whatever they come up with, it should be fitting.

[thirtybits]

No I'm sure I wouldn't be too picky, just expressing interest would be pretty well above and beyond.

[erythristic]

why do you say that? have you never thought about marriage ever?

[thirtybits]

I guess I haven't considered it much one way or another. But as far as proposals go I'm pretty sure my soul would leave my body if I was given or tried to do anything flashy.

[erythristic]

so a private declaration? how classic! i completely sympathize with that.

[thirtybits]

More ideally, no declarations at all, just talking it over and deciding together would be nice.

[And entirely anti-romantic, but......]

[erythristic]

to each their own. i suppose you'd do the whole married at city hall with no fuss attached as well?
