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. ]

[retrospec is treated today to a whole lot of skin. some RU students might recognise this exhibitionist as the much overworked first-year VP of RU's swimming team. others might recognise him simply as someone in need of a shirt]

Oi, RU students, listen up.

[luckily, this half-naked guy has some interesting accessories to keep him warm. they're doing a good job of it, if the colour on his deadpan face is anything to go by]

Dedication. Teamwork. Passion. Strength of character.

[as he's talking, he crosses his arms, and the floaties squeak!! around his biceps. a red eye twitches, ever-so-slightly]

These are just some of the qualities that we cultivate in the RU swimming team. If you want to be pushed to greater heights, if you have an athletic dream you want to pursue, or if you just have a love of the water, there's a team waiting for you. We work hard, and we get results. Slackers need not apply.

Seize the opportunity to be more, with us.

[the tube slips down his waist a little, squeak-a-squeak!!]

So.... [a yawning chasm of silence here] ....h-hop along and sign up at the bulletin board outside the RU natatorium, today.

What do you think of this swimsuit? Do you like laser cats? Would you wear this? This is of critical importance for me to know. Thank you for your time.

Sweet Charlotte Sakata was kind enough to model my new skirt design. ❤ I'm not sure if I'll put it up for sale on the shop, but I am fond of it.

I've finally got this song together, but I'm still stumped on the title. I'm putting the lyrics in here for anyone who's got any ideas. Consider this an open call for song title suggestions.

( cut for brevity, but just know these lyrics include the line 'I feel like a forgotten bag of chips abandoned on the streets, my soul shattered and scattering to the winds like potato leaves.' )

Lemon Leaf is closed for the whole day today, and will also be closed all of the 19th.

On another note, does anyone know anyone called Mori-sensei? Tall, Japanese, brown hair pulled back.

[ Memory regains he's been wondering over since he got that cat plushie.

And usually, Koutarou never has the atelier closed for a whole day. But he needs some time to himself that is not painting. (And some people might know that today is Koutarou's 29th birthday.) That's not to say that people can't encounter him during that time. ]

I saw some posts regarding some strange packages from Retrospec, but I don't know if this counts as one. I only found this at the park bench when I done my daily strolling. To be honest, the colors on this stone are very unnatural.

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.]

TODAY'S A SPECIAL DAY! It's my brother Minato's birthday.

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, NATTO ♥ I'LL ALWAYS BE TWO MINUTES OLDER THAN YOU ♪

To celebrate I'm going to perform my sacred Big Sister Duties and share some (potentially embarrassing) pictures from when we were young (๑ゝڡ◕๑)

I know he looks super cute and pouty in that first pic (clinging to our daycare teacher's leg and smushing his cheek like that, how adorable right?! He said he felt too lazy to walk by himself!) but look at how smol and tsun he is here too. He took ages to actually pet the dog. Probably because he's more of a cat person, so it was only nyaatural I suppose (◡ω◡✿)

Here's a few more. The sleepy faced one is my favorite ヾ(≧∇≦*)ゝ I can't count the number of times I had to poke the back of his head to wake him up. Our teachers scolded him for it but he always did good in class anyways, and proved everyone who thought he was a slacker wrong. He was so clever even back then. He probably helped me ten times more than I had to poke his head in class!

Haha, that's probably enough embarrassment, right? I'd better stop now or else I never will!

I love you, Minato. You will always be my most important person.

Anyways I wanted to end this by saying since it's my birthday too, and I'm FINALLY allowed to drink legally here, I'm going to go bar hopping tonight. Tomorrow's a school day so I can't party TOO hard, but if anyone wants to join, message me, okay? Arisato, out! ♥

I got a package from Retrospec... and the item inside is strange. A kataginu, which is a kind of sleeveless jacket worn more commonly a few hundred years ago in Japan. It also happens to match the one I saw part of in that strange and vivid dream I had several weeks ago, which is unnerving me.

There's a family crest on the back as well, which is stranger still. I recognise the clan and considering the rest of that 'dream' I had it's... well, I feel odd just looking at it.

If anyone has a rational explanation for this I would gladly welcome it right now.

So. Say you get a thought. And it FEELS so real you think it could be. But there's no way it could be. That's weird, right?

furtherforward

is anyone else experiencing an increase in DROPPED CALLS or TRASHY CALL QUALITY since the launch of Retrospec? long-distance in particular. or is there some other, better explanation for this change that I'm unaware of? after plenty of baseless excuses that turned out to be false, my carrier claims that there's noooothing wrong on their end. but what good are they? they also can't find an app on my phone that we know exists.

it's shocking that nobody else has said anything... unless it really is just me and every single phone I touch.

Minako's Valentine's Day Festa!

(a.k.a. I clearly don't have enough sugar in my system, let's fix that)

So the 'Kami twins are planning a super cute blind date thing, but is there anyone who doesn't wanna do that but still wants to spend Valentine's Day in a relatively not depressing way? Because I was thinking of requesting the RU Cooking Club's kitchen the day of to make stuff. Chocolates, cookies, truffles, macaroons, cupcakes-- the works. Maybe some traditional Japanese treats too, if I can find the right ingredients.

We could eat everything we make during a movie marathon or board game tournament, or you can leave right after you make your goodies, whatever you want.

[ooc: If there's enough interest I'll put up a log later!]

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.
