[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.

Perhaps. But I'm not quite willing to accept that, just yet.

[counteracts]

understandable
hell, it might make you one of the saner ones.

let's just say I'll be really happy to concede to you if it ends up just being a prank

[liberal_arts]

And if it isn't, well.

I guess confusion will be my epitaph.

[counteracts]

aw, come on, dude

there're plenty of other types of fruit in the produce aisle

[that's probably not exactly the reason why but]

[liberal_arts]

I was mostly just quoting King Crimson lyrics to make myself feel better about being so damned lost.

[counteracts]

oh. well, shit, that's far more cultured than my line of thought

I guess I could say "it could be worse" but I don't want them to take that as a challenge

[liberal_arts]

Wait.

You teach literature, but you're not familiar with King Crimson?

Oh no, I need to sit you down and listen to "In the Court of the Crimson King" from start to finish. You'll love it, I promise.

[counteracts]

teach?
nah, I just like it. I'm still taking classes myself

but, hell, I'm always open for recommendations, so if you say so, I'll check it out

[liberal_arts]

My mistake! Either way, you simply must. On vinyl, if you can.

[counteracts]

it's fine. if anything, I'm flattered

[He's been mistaken for a teacher exactly twice already at the university. It seems to be a common assumption when someone nearly six and a half feet tall and decently-dressed walks into the classroom a little later than normal.]

I might be able to swing that. pretty sure my folks have a player lying around somewhere
so I'll give it a look and let you know what I think
