Maurice was going to do this, but Maurice sucks so I sent him home before he could. Anyway, some of you may have noticed our new poll feature! We just don't have the time and resources to cater to all your "where is x item, what the fuck" complaints, so we had to streamline. The polls were the result of that! Coded them myself. I mean, Maurice did some of it, but I did most of it.

So basically we're democratically crowd-sourcing what we're going to bother to fix for you! You can send thank you notes to the building, HR doesn't mind. So far it seems like you all care about the color blue most, so we fixed it!

A little, anyway. I suggest a bracing walk through the woods if you particularly missed the color and don't feel like gazing deeply into a hobo's eyes.

You've all been reading up on QR codes, right? You might also want to learn to start a fire. Just a tip.

As per the World Regains tracker, fruits and flowers that were once blue are once again blue. This includes the echo flowers in the Recollé woods! NPCs seem to be incapable of seeing this color still, however, and will not note any differences. The color does not seem capable of being transferred to anything else, either, and any attempts to do so will simply fade the color of the thing you were trying to use to do that. Furthermore, one thread of at least 10 comments from you from this post may be supplied for one untriggered memory by linking the thread and in explanation putting "June Freebie". This may only be claimed through the rest of June, and may not be claimed after the month ends.

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.

Donald Maxwell Soooo... if I scan enough QR codes, does that mean they burn?

Maybe we have to burn walls to reveal secret passages to reveal more QR codes.
It's a bizarre theory but nothing I'd be surprised by.

Donald Maxwell With the way things are going?
Donald Maxwell I wouldn't be surprised, either.

There were maps, then QR codes, now fire. Something has to burn if we're to find a clue.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything of interest in the museum yet, unless you want a general timeline of how the city grew.

Donald Maxwell I'd say burn something in the museum, but that would just get us in trouble.

The museum has valuable artifacts and old documents that could help our investigation. Don't you dare think of doing such things.

Donald Maxwell Okay. Wow.
Donald Maxwell I was kidding, yeah?

Don't joke about setting records of the past on fire. Don't you remember the Library of Alexandria?

Donald Maxwell Dude... chill.
Donald Maxwell What the hell is the Library of Alexandria?

[Was he supposed to have paid attention in history?]

[Okay let's see how much he can dumb it down.]

A giant library in Egypt that used to hold thousands upon thousands of scrolls from various civilizations. A hooligan burned in down over 2000 years ago, and we lost countless information about the ancient world and their history, their stories, and their science.

We could know so much more about the past if it weren't for that fire.

Donald Maxwell Oh... Okay. I think I remember that now.
Donald Maxwell Like, from class.

The lesson is don't threaten to burn down centers of knowledge. You're only shooting yourself and society in the foot.

Donald Maxwell You take this kind of thing really seriously, huh?

Yuki Sato I don't know but that sounds really dangerous

[Oh... now Duo was going to play with you. Sorry, Yuki.]

Donald Maxwell Not if it's a controlled burn.

Yuki Sato What, so you know how many it takes for them to start burning? You know how long they'll burn?

[Duo was totally laughing right now.]

Donald Maxwell No. But there's only one way to find out.

Yuki Sato What do you mean there's only one way to find out

Did you remember to get a bucket of water, at least?!

[What is with all these teenagers living dangerously......]

Donald Maxwell LOL
Donald Maxwell Chill, chill.

[He was starting to feel a little bad now.]

Donald Maxwell I was just kidding.

Yuki Sato You were
Yuki Sato Oh

Yuki Sato Ok, that's good. Don't go around setting fires.

Donald Maxwell Yeah. I'll try not to. LOL

Yuki Sato What do you mean "you'll try"?

Donald Maxwell I mean just that. I'll try.

Yuki Sato If you're going to set a fire, set it with a bucket of water next to you.

Donald Maxwell Thanks for the tip.
