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.

I guess that means that poll is a way to restore everything the way it should be.

But fire and QR codes? What are those Retrospec people are even thinking?!

It would seem so. That, at least, narrows down its purpose. And, I honestly don't think any of us wants to know what they're thinking.

Point taken.

But still, we know what Jim is trying to tell us regarding the QR codes, but what does they intend us to do with getting knowledge about starting a fire?

This may sound a little silly, but probably start a fire. The question is less 'what' he wants us to do, and more 'why.' I saw someone suggest the possibility of a cold snap. I might buy a survival blanket.

They are cheap this time of year.

I doubt that's the reason why...

More importantly, you did mention a place with the QR codes, correct?

The subway tunnels. Officer Togusa publicly stated he and a group had gone into them while shrunk. They found Codes everywhere, apparently. I have not personally confirmed this, though they apparently corresponded to nothing.

Well, judging by what you explained, I wonder if those Codes they found might be unlocked at some later date.

Besides, I doubt Jim put that Wikihow link just to mess with us.

Possible. Definitely possible, and more may be appearing soon enough. In fact, I suspect that more will appear.

What they might do, well that is something we'll have to wait to find out.

Well, at least my summer break maybe more eventful than I thought it would.

For now, I think we should focus more on the visions and the Retrospec packages. I think I already saw some posts regarding their packages being weapons and such.

Yes, there's going to be a gathering on sunday attempting to help people receive training for the strange things they've been getting in the mail. We may do whatever we can to keep tabs on who gets what.

Right.

And there's the fact of a high chance that more of these strange creatures will appear in the city.

By high chance, I would say "Guarantee." At some point, there is always a chance that we may have to fight something new. So being prepared is just wise.

Right. If there are more creatures appearing, I'll try my best to control the situation.

If we are speaking about ones like your Modeste, are you sure that you can control all of them?

Not exactly. But from my experiences, I should try to give the owners some advice regarding on taking care of them.

Wait, are you expecting others to end up owning these types of creatures? I mean, I think I met someone else who had similar drawings at one point to yours, but then that would mean that they really were becoming common everywhere if that happened.

I'm not sure how I'd react to that.

I'm just pointing out a possible scenario in case Retrospec plans to send more creatures.

However, I leave the owner's decisions on what to do with them.

While I suppose Modeste is simply a little scary to look at, I confess that I hope we don't see too many creatures of this sort here. It might cause a bit of chaos.

Which almost certainly means it's a possibility.

Regardless, we better prepare for a worst-case scenario in case a chaos breaks out thanks to these packages or the changes.

And it could be any of a number of things. Since all of these worlds we keep seeing are so vastly different. Hard to prepare for every contingency.

I agree.

Right now, what are your next plans involving Retrospec?

Bitch and moan while I plot yet another futile attempt to break into the Retrospec building, most certainly. I don't have any leads to discuss on the app right now. Hopefully someone will find something so that I can focus my attention.

[She hoped the implication of her second sentence made sense to him. Her current plans were about to move forward a little, tomorrow, but she wasn't going to talk about them here, not where Jim could see.]

Okay?

[Chloe, please don't do anything careless.]

Are you sure you're going to just break in without knowing the security inside the building?

[If by "Don't do anything careless," he means "Don't break into the Retrospec History Museum on the off chance of finding things," weeelll ooops?]

Retrospec? There's yet to be real security in that building. Thinking of buying a portable battering ram and asking May to help with the door this time.

It won't stand a chance, and she'd enjoy the exercise.

[Oh no... Hearing that name makes him even more worry.]

Wait, you're not planning to bring May into this, aren't you?!
