[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!

I suppose that depends on what awaits us in the new year. What are your resolutions, Prompto?

[mercurio]

RESOLUTIONS??? you're always tripping me up...

- not die this semester
- set up a site for my pix
- improve diet!!
- adopt 30 more dogs and cats

[daemonized]

It's an obligation of mine, you know.

-That should be a lifetime resolution, not just a New Year's one. [He knows that's not what he meant, he's just being difficult.]
-A studio, you mean?
-Your diet is already impressive as it is. Are you going vegetarian? Vegan?
-Where will you put them all?

[mercurio]

i know

- umm yeah i guess! but school starts next week and i don't know if i'm ready
- a bit out of my budget! i was thinking website but... that'd be a pretty cool idea...
- nah i gotta eat more.. eugh
- noct's apartment?

[daemonized]

-Preparation is key. You'll be fine; your track record tells me so.
-A studio doesn't have to be anything exorbitant and spacious. All you need is space -- the rest is what you make of it.
-You /do/ need to eat more, I agree. Come over soon and we can remedy that. We're due for another family dinner.
-Did Noctis agree?

[mercurio]

-pray for me and my scholarship yeeeee
-aw man.. now i'm all excited about it..
-soon as in when?? can i bring noct?
-he kinda has to at this point

[daemonized]

-I don't need desperate prayers for something I already have faith in.
-Would you need help setting something up? If it's a serious consideration of yours.
-This weekend? And of course.
-He doesn't /have/ to agree to a multitude of animals in his home.

[mercurio]

-i'm all embarrassed now
-well!! i just started thinking about it like five seconds ago!! i'll let you know
-okay! should i bring something more relevant to a dinner than noct, like uh drinks or ??
-what he doesn't know won't hurt him

[daemonized]

[He ditches the list for now, for the sake of focusing on the idea of a nice family dinner.]

Careful. "What he doesn't know won't hurt him" can get you killed when it comes to relationships. Never risk incurring the wrath of your spouse or significant other, or you'll regret it until the end of time itself.

Only bring yourselves. Grell and I will worry about the rest.

[mercurio]

lol it's not like noct hates animals or anything
i'm sure he'll come around to 40+ pets

[the number keeps increasing??]

okay! uhmmmmm could we do.. friday maybe??

[daemonized]

It's 40+ now? Rest in pieces, Noctis.

Friday it is! Do you have a preference where food is concerned?

[mercurio]

uhh steak?? something on the light side
no greens for noct

[kittycaterer]

[Noctis Lucis Caelum has liked this post ]

[daemonized]

You still haven't convinced him to eat his vegetables?

[mercurio]

i made him a sandwich with avocado and tomato in it the other day
he looked like i had stabbed him multiple times when he took a bite
i walked away and the sandwich was free of both avocado and tomato

it's a work in progress

[mercurio]

oh but i gotta give him credit where credit is due

one day i ordered like six different salads and he ate an entire one by himself

[daemonized]

And what kind of salad was it?

[mercurio]

garden salad!
lettuce sun-dried tomatoes feta cheese cherry tomatoes beets and cucumber

we should have that on friday too
ptsd

and remove any and all dressing from the vicinity

[daemonized]

Done.

Though I'm surprised. For someone who hates vegetables, that's like tossing him straight into the deep end of the pool. And he still managed to swim?

[kittycaterer]

hi
still here

[ WHAT THE FUCK?]

[daemonized]

[YA THINK HE CARES]

Hi.

[mercurio]

he persevered
i'm proud of him

[kittycaterer]

30 pets arent enough tbh

[mercurio]

we can get fish and turtles and guinea pigs too!

[daemonized]

You say that, but when reality sinks in, I have a feeling you'll start to wallow in something called... regret.

[Oh, to be young and stupid.]
