[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.

Hmmm
Maybe you should see other people?
Or other countries.

[true_noir]

I'm rather happy seeing the lovely people in America. It's been enjoyable so far. And Britain is so far away that I only have to think about them when someone puts on a play.

[alienates]

Do you actually plan on staying here permanently or are you going to go back to France??
I'm assuming the latter since you said your family and your girlfriend are over there.

[true_noir]

The plan is for them to move over here eventually and to build a new life in this place, actually. The land of new opportunities and such.

[alienates]

So you're scoping the place out first.

[true_noir]

Well, I have been in town for several years and acquired American citizenship, so I think we are a little past the scouting period, Karkat, but yes. That was the original intent in coming here, that and to learn English in America as part of a student visa program.

[alienates]

Hey it can take a while to scout a new country.
Why is it taking them so long to come here though??

[true_noir]

Financial. For my mother, this is more of a retirement plan. Her current situation is just fine, financially, but very lonely. So, I am getting a home and hopefully a business worked up first. My girlfriend is in the midst of college education in France and has limited finances, so this is more of a plan for once I have completed my own degree and started into business.

Woooow
How....... adult.

[true_noir]

I am still capable of being young and having fun, but moving to another question does make you ask the adult questions a bit sooner. What, did you think my life was full of strange visions, relationship questions and barging into your home at night for tea?

[alienates]

Considering all of those things are literally the only things I know about you, yes.
That is not an invitation for you to tell me more about yourself. Just FYI.

[true_noir]

Karkat, by now, you should be aware that you are not going to escape learning more about my little life unless you take drastic steps. Just FYI. But if I were to tell you something right this moment, it would be far too predictable, would it not?

[alienates]

It would.
And I could literally just stop reading any of your responses to me from here on out.

[true_noir]

And yet, Karkat, you have not. And I suspect you won't, despite your threats, next time we speak. You are predictable this way.

Just as I am predictable at pestering you whenever I see the chance. It is surprisingly fun.

[alienates]

This is me, closing out of this conversation.
It is over and done with. Forever.

[true_noir]

[And she was going to be nice enough not to mention the fact that he'd said that the next time they chatted over kittens, because he was definitely predictable, as far as she was concerned.]
