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.

not even a bit. but feeling it tremble as I bit into it was satisfying. you could say it's an incentive for eating fruit.

So the opposite of how everyone else feels. Interesting.

When I cut one up, it didn't really trust to...uh...keep bouncing? As long as I held it down lightly.

[furtherforward]

it stopped moving as soon as it was punctured. if you just hurry and cut it it'll stop completely... if that's of any help. just an observation.

[notyourutopian]

You don't usually 'puncture' an apple before you peel it, though.

[furtherforward]

you can puncture it with your teeth and SKIP the peeling part, though. if you really NEED to peel it, I'm sure stabbing it would work just the same to keep it still. any kind of trauma will end in a still fruit.

[notyourutopian]

I just like peeled apples.

And all this makes us sound like we're...I don't know...killing it.
They aren't alive.

I'm glad you noticed. they're still fruit, and no amount of cutting or stabbing will affect them any differently from usual. it just makes cutting easier, that's all.

[notyourutopian]

But you're going out of your way to make it sound worse than it is.

[furtherforward]

that's just your perception of the matter! I could care less, as long as I can make them stop dancing before I try cutting them. I thought I was being helpful, not morbid. that's
just
youuuu

[notyourutopian]

Ugh.
Probably.

But you aren't exactly trying to help either.

[furtherforward]

I'm not here to help you or anybody else overcome their fruit-related issues.
so no. I'm not.
