[recollecters]

Hello and happy new year! A lot of poll results came in from R&D and we've almost fixed taste all the way. Horses are almost fixed, too. We've been working pretty much non-stop around the holidays to stabilize everything, so I hope this works! Just so you guys know, while we were working on fixing the original problems we received some alerts of residual effects outside of our usual domain. Don't worry though! Remember what I said a while ago? We're still moving more resources around into better defenses to protect the city from huge storms like last summer. We'll be taking care of that really soon and isolating the unknown problem. I wish I could tell you more, but we're all working overtime here to finish the final stages of a big project. No matter what happens you guys should be safe while we finish up, so just stay calm, okay? Don't get too reckless! Joanne Wiseman Technician 2nd class Retrspec Incorporated As of this post taste tier 4 has been icly regained; tier 5 will go into effect on Saturday, January 6th at 9pm EST and taste will be fully restored!

"no matter what happens you guys should be safe while we finish up, so just stay calm"

raise your hand if that sentence makes you incredibly nervous

[kagepuro]

: (

[robitussin]

is that a yes

[kagepuro]

yeah I kinda wanna cry right now

[robitussin]

oh shit wait please don't cry

i mean

unless it would be cathartic

[ohrlyeh]

my anxiety is through the roof

[robitussin]

maybe soon the reason behind their incredibly ominous statement will become clear

[ohrlyeh]

oh god i hope not

[robitussin]

at least you would know rather than being vaguely anxious about it for weeks

[chessking]

I think it's the "should be safe" part that's throwing it off because there's that marginal chance of error

[robitussin]

"just stay calm" is another highlight, like what is going to happen that will make us NOT want to keep calm

[chessking]

something that will collectively make us all lose our composure, but that's just stating the obvious.

can it top people randomly disappearing?

[robitussin]

i'm afraid to say it can't top that

because saying it can't top that seems like jinxing it

[windeity]

/raises hand.
maybe nervous isn't the right word, but i can't say it puts me at ease either since we don't even know what they're working on.

[robitussin]

maybe they're right and everything will be fine

or at least it'll just be really inconvenient rather than completely awful if something does go wrong

either way i guess we just have to wait to figure it out so that's cool

[windeity]

i would take inconvenient at least because then we have a chance of figuring out a loophole and stuff.
if something really does go wrong, we'll figure it out.
and worst case we throw your apple at them.

[destiny_key]

tbh i really want to believe joanne

but also the track record isnt great

[robitussin]

i mean during the time i've had the app nothing catastrophic has happened

but i've heard some things so i'm not going to get my hopes up that things are going to be normal at all

[destiny_key]

its been a few months so im kind of on edge tbh

i think the last really actually awful thing was october
and before that august was even worse
so i guess well see

[eyestitch]

well as long as things are fine AFTER they're all done, OBVIOUSLY there's not going to be a problem so there's no reason we should be upset! 🙄

they definitely can't see any reason why we should be nervous at all!

[robitussin]

yes and the fact that they see no reason why we should be nervous is absolutely comforting, i totally trust their judgment call there

[eyestitch]

nah i think they know

they're just those, yknow

'better to beg forgiveness than ask permission' type types!

[explodosafe]

#raises three fingers since I'm not nervous, just resigned

we'll probably get monsters and having to either line dance with ghosts or solve aome crazy riddles or having to fight for our lives again. Possibly at the same time.

[robitussin]

hold up two that way you can flash a peace sign as the world descends into chaos

if that happens i call the riddle group

[explodosafe]

V\(^_^)/V!!


What's a riddle group?
