[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.

[The teenager remains sitting on the floor, holding the dog in her lap, scratching Koro's ears, and watching Minako.

A corner of her mouth started to curl a bit when her roommate kicked the apple away, and let out an unexpected snort of laughter when she said that and closed the door.

Lucy seemed just as startled, all things considered.

But she laughed! Sort of! It happened! For less than a second, but it still happened.]

[Nothing escapes Minako's notice! She blinks once, then breaks out into the biggest grin ever.] Oh my god, Lucy.

[long_live_the_queen]

[The teenager froze for a moment, blinking. Did...did she do something wrong? What did she do?]

What?

[complementing]

[Minako has to stifle a giggle behind her hands. Lucy is just so cute sometimes???] Lucy, you laughed.

[long_live_the_queen]

So?

[The bite that was normally in her voice wasn't all there; she let out a huff, turning away.]

...that was weird.

[Or possibly the first time that's happened in months, that's important too.]

[complementing]

[Minako scampers over to Lucy's other side, beaming in earnest.] I don't think it was weird! You have a nice laugh.

[long_live_the_queen]

...I do?

[She shifts and rocks awkwardly in place, still trying to look away.]

[complementing]

Yup! [She laughs and lightly pats Lucy on the shoulder, knowing to back off now.] Anyways, now that the apple's taken care of, I'm ready for some well-deserved dinner. What about you?

End here?

[long_live_the_queen]

[Lucy only froze at the touch instead of flinching or recoiling away. And after a moment she looked back, as if making sure that had actually happened. That...wasn't a bad thing either.

—oh, right.]

Uh—sure.

[Her supervisor was probably going to be very displeased at her taking off so early today. And "dancing weird fruit no one else sees" wouldn't cut it.

But that was something for tomorrow.]

yes!

[complementing]

Alright! Come help me with the spaghetti then, I need a lot of comfort food after how weirdly traumatizing today was. [And she prances off into the kitchen, Koro trailing after her.]
