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. Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated 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.

What's wrong with gazing deeply into a hobo's eyes? Maybe I'd just like to get to know our friendly neighbourhood homeless man. Don't be classist, Jim.

[ he's joking so onto the more serious things like... ]

But at least our foods are blue again. Eating grey blueberries just didn't have the same feeling. You could say that I was rather blue from it.

Anyway, is anyone interested doing a few experiments with me later?

[strawberrypunch]

[...Seeing the name attached to this, he's almost afraid to ask, but...]

What kinds of experiments?

[tarotcards]

[ Why must you judge him off the bat like this, Tatsuma ]

I'm wondering if we can transfer the colour blue to other things like paper or our clothes. I was thinking we could get some blueberries, mash them up, and then smear them among things to see if the blue will carry over.

[strawberrypunch]

[Oh, that's not so bad.]

Lets see if we can paint with it

[IT SURE WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO USE THE COLOR BLUE AGAIN.]

[tarotcards]

It's time to see your painting skills in action. Think you can paint a self-portrait of the two of us with just the colour blue?

[ They can be the Blue Man Group but with just two of them instead of three ]

[strawberrypunch]

[Blue actually isn't half-bad for painting a picture solely with, it's nice and easy on the eyes and shows up well on the canvas. He's never exactly used berries for paint, but maybe he can get some tone variety if he waters it down...? Hm.]

Well see

Want to meet at my place?

[tarotcards]

Sounds good. I can be over in about 45 mins with a bag of fresh blueberries?

[covenantal]

[ Seeing what he's saying to Tatsuma... ]

You want to experiment with blueberries?

We could also try dying fabric or paper using the newly-blue flowers.

[tarotcards]

I think most of the blue flowers are found in the woods, though

[ Remember what happened the last time there were a bunch of blue flowers in the woods... ]

[covenantal]

... you're right. We might be able to find some elsewhere, if we look. If not, we could go together.

[ Strength in numbers? ]

Or just try the blueberry thing first.

[tarotcards]

How about we try the park? If we don't find any there, we can try out the blueberries.

Or try blue popsicles. Those stain faster, I think.

[covenantal]

Sounds like a plan.

... are popsicles back to being blue as well? I can't say I've seen a popsicle today.

[tarotcards]

I certainly hope they're back to being blue. A rocket popsicle just isn't the same without its blue strip, Yu. It's disheartening and soul-crushing, to be completely honest.

[esperimental]

You should at least bring him food and something to drink. Starting with the staring is creepy.

[tarotcards]

You're right. That would seem very ungentlemanly of me to begin off with staring.

Instead of bringing him food, should I just take him out to dinner?

[esperimental]

That's very forward.

But maybe the world would be a better place if people did this sort of thing.

[tarotcards]

Then we must be the change we want to see in the world.

I'll ask out a homeless man out to dinner if you do.

[esperimental]

[ When is Ritsu going to learn his lesson that talking to either of these twins is always a mistake. ]

And if I refuse?

[tarotcards]

[ This is a lesson that all of Recolle needs to learn tbh ]

Why would you refuse?

[rebellions]

why do i get a feeling you're gonna dress up as a hobo and try to prove your point next...

[Why indeed, Rags.]

i'm gonna regret asking but... what're you up to this time?

[tarotcards]

How did you know? That was exactly my plan.

[ nah, it was going to be about transferring the colour blue but now that ragna mentioned it, souji has to go with it ]

[rebellions]

how the hell is that an "experiment"?? do you even have blue eyes for it?? and who the eff would even WANT to do that, aside from that shithead Jim???

[So many questions. One thing he's not questioning, however, is whether that really is what's been on Souji's mind. Mostly because... he kind of expected it to be that.]

[tarotcards]

You seem really wound up about this. What do you have against staring into a homeless man's eyes?

[rebellions]

i... everything? i'm not gonna stare into anyone's eyes, homeless or not!!

[tarotcards]

Not a romantic, I see, and I thought Valentine's Day would have helped with that.
