[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!

yeah I kinda wanna cry right now

[robitussin]

oh shit wait please don't cry

i mean

unless it would be cathartic

[kagepuro]

fear crying is never cathartic : (

[robitussin]

maybe it won't be that bad

i mean since i've got the app the worst things that have happened were like mildly annoying, i was just being overdramatic here because i'm a jerk

[kagepuro]

no, it's probably pretty bad

Monsters attacked and hurt and killed people once

Also, while not directly related, the effects of retrospec made someone go crazy and kidnap and torture a bunch of people to near death (i was one of those people hi)

So i can't not take things seriously...

[robitussin]

it doesn't mean whatever might go down will be as bad as that so fingers crossed

but also

holy shit are you okay

[kagepuro]

oh, I'm fine

It's a long recovery process but I've been up and about for a couple months now, i just can't strain myself

I hope its not as bad, but we should prepare as if it is

[robitussin]

okay

yeah but fear crying is not the same as preparing so i guess just... maybe take a load off for tonight at least? take care of yourself

[kagepuro]

I'm fine, it's just stressful, i hate the first of the month so much, it was like this last month, too

It reminds me how stupid and scary everything is in this world

[robitussin]

yeah and i don't want to be dismissive so like

maybe you should be talking to someone about this? i mean i know you're talking to me about it rn but i don't know if i can help

there has to be a therapist that has the app and wouldn't think you're making shit up

[kagepuro]

ha ha ha

is there any therapist qualified to handle the ridiculousness that is retrospec?

I'll be okay, it's just hard sometimes. I'm lucky that i have a lot of wonderful friends

[robitussin]

a therapist who also has to deal with the ridiculousness that is retrospec? idk

you don't need to downplay it, it's a shitty situation

[kagepuro]

I'm not downplaying it!!! It's just, you know, all of us have to deal with it : /

[robitussin]

okay i won't push but not all of us were nearly tortured to death

[kagepuro]

...that's fair

maybe that's why I'm so weird about all this stuff lately
trying to cope w/ almost dying...

Wow sorry i know I'm like basically a stranger and I'm just throwing all of this at you haha

[robitussin]

no it's okay

i mean it beats not having anyone to talk to it about even if i'm not really sure how to help

but i don't think you're being weird about it

[kagepuro]

sometimes you don't need someone to help you just need someone to listen

And listening is helping anyways

I offer the same to you, you know!!!

I'm ayano ^^;

[robitussin]

well if you want me to listen some more i'm down

also i've only had the app for two months so nothing awful has happened yet, but anyways my name is natalie

nice to meet you
