[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.

I can play the piano.
Well I can play chords...

Yeah I can't really.

We should find a band and give them the name.

[true_noir]

I is definitely a thing to do with this. It shouldn't go to waste, should it? Thank you for helping to lift my mood a little bit there, Eleanor. I think that I needed that.

[notyourutopian]

It's what I'm here for.

You know.
When I'm not making it worse anyway.

[true_noir]

Heh, I would not say that you have ever truly made any of this worse for me. But there must come a day, and for that day we will remember all these lovely times you've helped me smile.

Just know I am around for you if you need it. It's only fair.

[notyourutopian]

You have been forewarned of the worsening.
Yet it will still come as a great shock to you.

But thanks Chloe.
It's nice to know people have my back.

[true_noir]

It is nice to know that we are not alone in this. It has made it bearable, if not always enjoyable. I think I will forgive them a little, for having met a few people I have met through this, of which you are certainly one already.

[notyourutopian]

Man.
Can you imagine if we were all figuring this out by ourselves?
Just stumbling in the dark.
Well.

Moreso

[true_noir]

I've definitely imagined it. The thought is a little horrifying. It's why I am trying to be helpful to those just joining this little social circle from hell. It's only fair, isn't it?

[notyourutopian]

We're all in this together?
Sort of thing.

I wonder...

[true_noir]

We are, or at the very least you and I certainly are unless you are somehow the figment of my addled, insane imagination, as Naoto might suggest. But what do you wonder?

[notyourutopian]

If I were part of some brain-addled imagination.
I should hope I were prettier!

[true_noir]

Eh? What do you mean by that? You're lovely, Eleanor. I don't know what you are talking about. You are as I would have imagined you.

[*ahem* Chloe had absolutely no clue whether or not Eleanor had self-esteem issues about her appearance. She was just being honest. Admittedly, she wasn't going to just openly say that she had a 'type' and short, thin, dark-haired girls tended to fall into said type.]

[notyourutopian]

Thanks for saying that.
Sort of.

I'm probably real anyway.

[true_noir]

Sort of? Ah, apologies, it does feel like the "correct" thing to say at that moment doesn't it? I do mean it, though.

And yes, you are real. Philosophy jokes aside, I refuse to believe you are not, much as I refuse to believe some of the worst possibilities. They simply are not true, even if there is a remote chance that they are. I will be stubborn to the end about this.

it is one of my best qualities. [Or so she believed.]

[notyourutopian]

It's fine, really. None of it's on you.

I'd argue with that but I'm fairly stubborn myself.
We might be here all night.

[true_noir]

It is not a thing I truly wish to argue. I do not think this is the sort of thing one wins an argument over. There are other ways.

[And proving that could be awkward and uncomfortable for various reasons.]

[notyourutopian]

Probably not.

Aaaaaaanyway.

Uh

What were we talking about?

[true_noir]

I believe we were promising to have each other's backs. I suspect that there isn't too much to say right now, other than to promise we'll watch out for each other.

[notyourutopian]

I can work with that.

Hopefully we won't need to though.

[true_noir]

Hope springs eternal, but until that moment is proven true, I am here for you. Give me a call if you need me, for whatever reason, however big or small.

[notyourutopian]

You too.

Later Chloe
