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.

right
i still drink them but that would throw a wrench in it, probably

that's true
unless something about us is different too
but that's a lot harder to figure out

[esperimental]

Well there are the strangely vivid but not real(?) memories, hair and eye color changes and whatnot. One thing's for certain things will continue to change. I just hope now and then they'll decide to be better instead of

pointless.

[sparsity]

i haven't had anything weird like that happen yet
some people call them hallucinations
others go with memories

how do you think they could be better?

[esperimental]

I heard someone just go "hallucinomemories" too. It's legitimately hard to tell which it is between the legitimate words, it's troubling.

Well, I wouldn't complain if crops got bigger, or fishes to eat, easier sustenance for everyone. But on second thought, that might be harder toil for the ones who have to get them to begin with? Even if they wouldn't notice.

[sparsity]

that's true
even if it happened that way and it improved everyone's lives
the balance seems like it'd be really unnatural

[esperimental]

Maybe projected futuristic things? Teleportation devices? Flying cars? Ahh, people might look at us funny for not knowing how to use them right away, but it would be fascinating to literally go ahead of our times. But even then, it wouldn't be "ahead" anymore, everyone would think it's always been that way.

Hmm.

[sparsity]

it's weird being the only ones experiencing the differences
we didn't do this to ourselves, so
i wonder who wants us to remember

[esperimental]

Retrospec is no normal force to be reckoned with; I'd really like to avoid using it and get on with my life but it just won't leave us alone.

[sparsity]

[ heh ]

it's really bossy isn't it

[esperimental]

Being toyed around with like this really sucks. Makes me envy the blissful ignorance of everyone else.

[sparsity]

i guess so. i don't envy anyone
even if i could make it go away
i doubt i'd be able to just forget about it now

[esperimental]

Well, who knows. If new things can happen maybe new things can go away too.

[sparsity]

probably
either way it's still messing with our brains
