[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!

maybe you should learn that type of magic, i think it sounds like a useful skill

[thesettingsun]

Sure, just let me know if you see any advertisements for gill magic classes.

[ohrlyeh]

sure

what magic CAN you do

[thesettingsun]

Go inside of books.

I don't think fish magic would fit thematically.

[ohrlyeh]

wait what

like one of those computer games or something?? the ones with puzzles??

[He's thinking of MYST.]

[thesettingsun]

Less with puzzles, more with talking to characters. It's not as fun as you'd think, they're super uncanny valley.

[ohrlyeh]

what do they talk about...do they know they're book characters???

it sounds like something out of alice in wonderland

[thesettingsun]

It does kind of have an Alice in Wonderland feel to it, now that you mention it... But no, they're not that self-aware.

[ohrlyeh]

do they behave like the actual characters though

that is so weird

what if you brought one out of the book is that possible

[thesettingsun]

They act like the characters, but they don't feel like people. It's hard to explain.

I haven't tried bringing somebody out. I have tried bringing a flesh-and-blood person in with me, no dice.

[ohrlyeh]

do they remember you if you do it multiple times

[thesettingsun]

Yes. The book's text doesn't change any, though.
