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.

[A part of this is hilarious, because Ardyn is on the other side of the argument in a different text conversation in this Retrospec post; however, it's a very lawyer thing to do, to argue for the sake of arguing. It amuses him, as there's obviously no clear answer this early on where the fruit is concerned.]

I imagine it's the reason for many to feel hesitation. Putting a human face on any object is enough to incite emotions that weren't present before.

So what will you do, then? Have someone else prepare your apples for you?

[caelestialis]

I was thinking of leaving the apples and the rest be, period, until I can gather courage to even think of eating them. I can still eat other fruits and vegetables long as they don't join the sudden sentience train!

For now, my plans to teach them the arts are my main focus with them. It'll be an interesting thing to do. Definitely going to make my Friday nights more exciting.

Well if that's the case, I certainly hope you plan on sharing your results with the rest of us, Ainsley? A video will suffice. It seems to be the trend as of late.

[caelestialis]

Naturally! If there are results to this, I wouldn't be selfish in keeping this away from you and the others. I promise to let you all know what's happening. Cross my heart and everything.

[daemonized]

Perfect. I can't wait to see it.

[caelestialis]

I aim to please!

I also think I should let you go about your day now. No doubt you have other things to worry about besides the Fruits: The Musical. Take care of yourself, okay?

[daemonized]

For now. But my thoughts will wander back to Fruits: The Musical every now and then, I assure you of that.

Until later, Ainsley.

[caelestialis]

Hehehe! Mission accomplished then.

Have a good day, Ardyn!
