Li-Na Yiu 11/16 near Viea Village

So, I have been wondering something. Just how many places are moving and/or disappearing? One example. It took me over an hour to find Dance!!! Studio on the 4th, because it was in the wrong place! And it is named Dancinerate now! If the building itself did not look the same, I would not have found it. And then there are the bakeries. I am trying to record the changes, but I am sure there are ones I do not see.

so many good food places are gone.
who would fucking do this.

[toobigtohandle]

Is the place where you work still around?

[redarm]

yeah, it is.
thank fucking god.

[toobigtohandle]

Small graces.

I'm sorry, I actually meant to message Li-Na. My fingers must have slipped somehow.

[Meet Kenta the social media noob.]

[invocate]

which ones? and where?

if my favorite milk tea place vanishes...

[heads will roll

also, she is looking at that convo Noah and just... shaking her head]

[There's a delay in his response as he decided to take a walk after the...well, above. Another day in the life of Noah]

soyokaze, nihoncha, black lion bakery, the homura bakery, and tartine treats are the ones ive noticed. theres just one bakery now called the mad batter.

whats your tea place?

[invocate]

It is called The Teahouse.

[not exactly the most creative name... but there you go]

The dance studio USED to be a few blocks away.

[now the dance studio is on the other end of Tisse]

[toobigtohandle]

Is the coffee shop where you work still around?

[invocate]

For now, it seems to be okay.

[toobigtohandle]

What is happening? It's not like so many business would close doors or suddenly be acquired by others and relocated in such a short timespan.

[invocate]

I am not sure. That is why I am trying to track the changes. See if there is a pattern.

[gudaguda]

When in doubt, just blame Retrospec. They've got some weird grip on this town and I'd blame any weirdness on them.

[invocate]

I am wondering if they are behind these moves and disappearances. I look back at Joanne's message to us at the beginning of the month, and there is a line... "some of it we're going to have to let go."

[youraffection]

its weird!
i didnt realize it until some customers at work started complaining about not being able 2 find something
and i thought it was just like we reorganized something 4 the holidays
but they meant like an actual store

[invocate]

Do you mean the store you work in moved and you did not realize?

[youraffection]

oh no
i work at freshens
but they were showing up here bc they couldnt find like 1 of the bakeries they wanted 2 go 2 i guess
they were complaining about it at checkout

[invocate]

oh, i am sorry for the mistake

did they hope you might know where the bakery was? or did they only want to complain?

[livingdeadgirl]

the haunted museum is gone :(
im not sure what happened to the ghosts

[invocate]

i did not realize there was a haunted museum
there were really ghosts inside?

[livingdeadgirl]

yup ive met them
they were very nice if a bit melancholy
hopefully they found a new home though
whether on this side or the other

[invocate]

i hope so. i would not want them to wander lost in the city.

[alienated]

If I had to guess? Too many before this month's up.
Do you think this is another Retrospec thing?

[invocate]

If it is not Retrospec, we could have a serious problem.

[alienated]

No kidding.
No matter how you cut it, it's bad if we can't contact anyone out of town.

[invocate]

Wait. What do you mean we cannot contact anyone out of town? I called my brother in Hong Kong yesterday.

[albeit with more static than usual]

And what does that have to do with the buildings moving?
