You are goddamn welcome, everyone.
At least now, no matter what kind of a shitstained day you've been having, you can say you saw newborn kittens.

[ timeline-wise this is a little later in the afternoon, so like for high schoolers it'd be after school ends for the day, etc. ]

Two questions for Beta Squad.

Have you had Retrospec deliver anything to you that didn't feel like it was yours?
Has anyone tried returning things to Retrospec?

For the record, if you received anything that had a tag of Yuri's Angels attached, no, I didn't send it, no, I don't want it, no, I'm not a spy, no, I don't have a fanclub, no, it isn't a freaking religious affiliation and no, I don't have a secret admirer at Retrospec anymore than I have an explanation for why this happened.

Anyone who feels like trying a return lmk.

Edit: Anyone else named Yuri please contact me ASAP, tyvm.

um so! >___>;;;;;
as you can see in this video, i have some dancing and smiling fruit
i checked the orange, if you look on the left side, it is peeled a little bit......
it smells like an orange and ummmmmm
it tastes the same as one too........
the apple, lemon and lime also check out
i received these in a package today, it was addressed to me, and it was from retrospec
i am hoping someone else either has seen this before or received a similar package so if you did please contact me as soon as possible
if you have seen a mutation (i suppose!!!!) like this before please let me know
admittedly, i am sort of curious to see if this can be replicated.........
it is so incredibly strange!

[When you wake up on this fine morning and check your Retrospec feed, you'll find... Russian spam? It begins - ]

Доброе утро. Меня зовут Аня. [ - and it continues on from there, resulting in a full paragraph.

For anyone who can read Cyrillic, they'll find the following message: Good morning. My name is Anya. Is anyone able to understand this? I recognize it as Cyrillic, as Russian, however I don't recall ever being able to speak this language. I woke up and suddenly it's all I knew. If the people on here remember horses, maybe they remember me speaking differently? Properly? Maybe? Please let me know.

In an entirely separate text, she tries again. In two more languages.]

おはようございます。私の名前はAnyaです。わかりますか？これは日本語です。でも昨日でAnyaは日本語を話しません。

[ - and that also goes on. An English message, with the same approximate fluency level as the Japanese, to explain the whole situation is finally provided at the end. Third try's the charm?]

good morning. my name is anya. i am sorry to try again but i am confused. today i know how to speak russian and japanese. the russian is easy but the japanese is harder. english is also harder now. even though yesterday i only spoke english?

??? why?

if the people here remember horses do they remember the anya that did not know russian? please help. please. thank you.

( + action options! )

[ ooc: anya's regain was her canon language tick! an example can be found here! complete with sprinkles of Russian and accent. an additional note is that if you hover over the different alphabets, the exact translation should come up! AND FINALLY, Anya's hair used to be the lightest shade of the blonde in the world - and now it's gone full silver, but that's the least of her problems.]

[ Imagine a dramatic sigh right here. ]

It's finally happened. I've become TOO STRONG.

For all those of you that I might have beaten into a blubbering pulp before, I apologize. It was my every intention to give you a second chance at redeeming yourself for your prior SHAMEFUL SHOWING. But I can no longer do this in good conscience.

I'd just end up wiping the floor with you too hard.

To help us take our minds off of the recent strangeness, why not take a moment to think about a rose? Tuesday is Valentine's Day, for all you who have been procrastinating buying a bouquet for that special someone. But, is a Rose really the sentiment you want to share?

Did you know that there is a whole language of flowers, many of them in fact? Different flowers have different meanings, and getting just the right arrangement can say something truly special to the person that you adore. After all, one of the best ways to show someone that you have a true love for them is with a forget-me-not, not a rose. You wouldn't want to say the wrong thing with your flower choice, would you?

Come by Enchanted Blossoms in Tisse and see our Valentine's Day arrangements. Feel free to ask any questions you want about what the flowers you choose say about your love, and we'll help you pick the perfect ones. And if you like, I'll even tell you something about the language of flowers right now.

[ In the midst of all the text entries in the network, there is surprisingly a video entry posted in Retrospec this afternoon. When clicking on it, a pair of identical twins (

tarotcards and

covenantal will appear on screen. ]

Hello, Recollé.

In light of Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, we’ve figured that we should host an event.

After all, it’s not Valentine’s Day without dates and unexpected confessions.

[ He says, copying almost word-by-word what a certain uncle said (asides from the 'awkward dates' part because look, he doesn't want to deter anyone from signing up). ]

Or without Cupid helping out. Which is, of course, what we’re here to do.

[ A pause as the two twins look at each other. ]

...Cupids? Or is it just Cupid?

[ A thoughtful pause, and: ]

Cupids.

[ And a nod from the other. They then both face the camera once again. ]

As we're such good and kind Cupids, we have decided to help everyone find their one true love. Therefore, we will be hosting a blind dating event, where no one will be alone for Valentine's Day this year.

Just text us your details and we’ll help set you up with the date of your dreams. Or, you can always give us a friend’s details, too.

[ Said completely deadpan. … is … he serious? Is he joking?? It is impossible to tell. ]

We’ll randomize everyone’s information to find them a date, and let you know on the 13th.

Then on the 14th, you can experience the date of your life. We won't just leave you completely hanging, though. We'll have our own little Cupids booth in the city to guide any unsure or confused little lovers.

[ Then, in unison, the twins both bow their heads and say: ]

We hope you enjoy the event.

[ A few minutes after the broadcast, a little extra text is attached: ]

Which outfit is better? Something more traditional or risque?

It’s important, so please be honest.

( ooc: Souji’s dialogue is in dark blue and Yu’s is in gray. The blind date event details are over here! OOC sign-ups are mandatory to participate, even if there’s an IC sign up here. The deadline is on Feb. 10 at 11:59PM EST so please get your comment in before then. Please reply to this entry as text-only, please! Also, Souji’s player (

tarotcards) will reply to all tags tomorrow so apologizes for the delay! Feel free to ask Ichi (Souji) or Pip (Yu) if you have any questions over here!)

Why the fuck is everyone freaking out about horses for? I mean, sure, I have an idea that they exist too but do we really need another large animal that can cause havoc when spooked or whatever? Aren't Chocobos enough? So what if other people don't remember them or never heard of them? They're stupid. The whole thing is a huge fucking waste of time to worry over. Just chill.
