Forward-Dated to 6/14

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard shared a photo. 6/13 near Freshens

Look at these! I found them in the fruit aisle today, and are they not the most beautiful shade? I swear that they taste better now too. Nothing else other than some flowers I found by the side of the road are blue, but these are again. But maybe it is changing, yes?

(OOC: Oops, got over-eager with this. There will be a post this evening, so this is forward-dated to tomorrow. Sorry for that folks.)

Augustine Sauveterre My goodness! Are you sure that the coloration is real?

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Bought two baskets of them, tried crushing one between my fingers.
Chloe Bouchard Everything is normal about them.
Chloe Bouchard Sky was still gray, but I saw a few little light blue flowers by the side of the road.
Chloe Bouchard It is like little bits of blue are coming back.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre I see. So most of the fruits and flowers have their blue coloration returned.
Augustine Sauveterre But, I'm surprised.
Augustine Sauveterre Other than that small incident, this is the first time a larger change somehow reverted a little.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard They're quite small, so maybe that is part of it.
Chloe Bouchard And yes, it is the same for me.
Chloe Bouchard I have never seen one of these change in pieces, which makes me wonder about the surveys froma couple weeks ago.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre A survey?
Augustine Sauveterre You mean that poll that was recently added into the app?

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Did you receive one as well?
Chloe Bouchard I received a poll about what I wanted returned from Jim.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Yes I did.
Augustine Sauveterre However, I did answered that I would like to return the blue coloration of the city.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I suspect, based on the little that I've heard, that this has been what others voted for.
Chloe Bouchard So, perhaps they are actually taking some of this into account.
Chloe Bouchard I don't entirely trust it, but it may be a way for them to make us feel dependent on them.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre In other words, this is their way to let us know there is a way to revert the city back to normal, I think...
Augustine Sauveterre Honestly, I feel it would be better if they could try some kind of hotline or a real-time chatroom to let them know about it instead of setting up a survey.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Yes, but only on their terms.
Chloe Bouchard A chatroom, though, would likely devolve into swearing at Jim.
Chloe Bouchard Much as I hate him, he can't expect productive conversation at this point.

[megabond]

[She does have a point there.]

Augustine Sauveterre You're right.
Augustine Sauveterre But I'm also starting to question their future plans for the app.
Augustine Sauveterre We do know it somehow sends some apps to other potential users right here in Recolle.
Augustine Sauveterre So why did they put up a survey on restoring any elements now?

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Impossible to say, other than that it is almost certain we won't think it is good.
Chloe Bouchard More than that? Who can tell?
Chloe Bouchard Hopefully we know more eventually.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre I hope we can find our answer very soon.
Augustine Sauveterre But at least some of the blue coloration were restored to the world.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Much as I hate Jim, I'm enjoying the blueberries.
Chloe Bouchard It's strange how much sweeter they taste right now.
Chloe Bouchard Entirely in my head, I'm sure.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Well, it is true that the taste is somehow connected to the colors of the fruits and vegetables.
Augustine Sauveterre Regardless, I'm just glad that the survey managed to restore little of the city.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Perhaps it is also the psychology of the situation.
Chloe Bouchard They look normal, and used to look worse, so now they taste better in my mind.
Chloe Bouchard As am I, regardless of the rest.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre But still, I feel we need to use the survey cautiously.
Augustine Sauveterre Even if they found a way to restore some of the elements doesn't mean I can trust them yet.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Since it comes only at their whim, I don't think we need to worry about being sparing.
Chloe Bouchard But trust is something that they have lost forever with me.
Chloe Bouchard It would take a miracle to repair that.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre I agree.
Augustine Sauveterre Unfortunately, with the employees still keeping an eye out for us, let's try not to speak ill about them.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I have said some of the foulest things about Jim in my time on the app, and he still sent me this survey.
Chloe Bouchard I honestly don't think he cares.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre I can guess his job in R&D made him somehow careless of our pleas and complaints.
Augustine Sauveterre I honestly think that the twisted humor from the app came from him, though.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard He is almost certainly the source of the humor, yes.
Chloe Bouchard And maybe you're right, that he feels safe in the research labs?
Chloe Bouchard Though, what they are researching is still up for debate.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre Now that I think about it, I was always think that R&D were there just to investigate new features.
Augustine Sauveterre But considering what was happening to the city so far, I wonder if they are also researching about this strange phenomenon.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I don't know that we can say for sure, but I think you're probably right there.
Chloe Bouchard H treats these almost like features sometimes.
Chloe Bouchard So this is probably what he's researching.

[megabond]

Augustine Sauveterre And considering the number of packages they sent us, I'm guessing their research has anything to do with these items we have right now.
Augustine Sauveterre Not to mention that some of these items are related to our visions.
