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.

those are the worst most tragic stories
they always make me sad
are you saying we shouldn't do anything or that we should?

[alienates]

I think that we should even if it ends up biting us in the ass later.
I rather be able say I at least fucking tried instead of just sat around doing nothing, right?

[admiringly]

oh i'm so glad you think so too!
the journey matters as much as the end does
it's always better to try and try
people are the best they can be when they try!

[alienates]

I mean
It would still be a shitty experience overall if it turns out we end up fucking ourselves over.
But people who just sit on their ass all day while complaining are obnoxious, right?

[admiringly]

i don't know about obnoxious but they are wasting their time
having regrets from doing is better than having regrets from doing nothing
you can at least learn from the former
you can't do anything with the latter

[alienates]

Except for obsessively imagine scenarios where you got off your ass and tried something.
Which just ends up wasting your time even more so you do even less.

[admiringly]

so we should all just do something
whatever that something is

[alienates]

WELL
It would still be preferable if that "something" is actually beneficial to us in the end.
Just because something is better than nothing doesn't mean that certain somethings aren't stupid.

[admiringly]

right
but sometimes you don't know a something is stupid until you do it
i'm ok with doing something stupid if it means i can learn from it!

[alienates]

Ok but
WHAT IF
It was stupid AND embarrassing?
