[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.

Shame I'm not looking for a job, because I'd ask Retrospec to hire me. Their health insurance plan, unlike the university's, apparently includes the good drugs.

Not that I expect their hiring practices to be ethical, or in any way sane.

[darkinferno]

hey as long as you're cool with the potential that your brain may never be the same after they're through with you then by all means

send them your resume

who knows maybe we can have a guy on the inside

[manolia]

My brain's messed up enough anyway. lol.

Have you ever seen the non-disclosure agreements startups like this make you sign? My God, you need a lawyer to even think about interpreting those things. Advice for you after you get out of college: go for something safe, in the government or something. Less chance of your job imploding on you.

[darkinferno]

ndas are only enforceable if they can prove you're the one that leaked the info

[DANTE NO????]

but at any rate my mom's a publicist i'm pretty sure ndas are under her scope

you wouldn't BELIEVE the sort of dirt you learn about celebrities in her position

[manolia]

Well, fair, but when your startup is three people in someone's basement... [Can you tell he's had a bad time??] I do like the way you think, though. There's always a loophole.

Neither I nor my parents never held such glamorous jobs, [well, ok, his only parent, whom he does not recall holding a job for longer than a year] but yeah, she's probably under a ton of NDAs.

[darkinferno]

okay yeah that'd make it pretty easy to discover the mole. we don't know how many employees they have, the building in tisse could be overcompensation

i can't recommend the job though
