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!

Do you write like this all the time???

[daemonized]

[Yes. The answer is yes.]

Write like what?

[akatatai]

Like a script from a play or a really complicated book!
Or a lecture!

[daemonized]

I will take the first two as compliments.

And the last? Well, it makes perfect sense; I'm a professor, you know.

[akatatai]

WAIT WAIT WAIT
Have you been judging my grammar or something this whole time?!
You don't work at the high school, right?
Don't tell my teachers on me, I swear I'll redeem myself, even if it means drinking black coffee!

[But he hasn't.... done anything wrong....]

[daemonized]

[Ah, the student freak-out that happens when they realize they're speaking to a teacher or professor. It never really fails to amuse.]

Well, I'll not tell you to drink black coffee if you don't truly enjoy it. But as for your grammar... Hm. I'm going to have to mull on whether or not I think it requires a bit of improvement.

[akatatai]

That's good, at least
I'm not super great at school...
But tons of people type informally on Retrospec so you're probably used to it!
Or that's what I'm hoping, at least

[daemonized]

You should have more confidence in yourself. What is it in particular that gives you trouble in your classes?

But you're right, I'm used to it. It truly doesn't bother me as much as I'm letting on.

[akatatai]

It's just that I'm not a very good student in general
I mean, I get by with passing grades but that's about it

I'm really really REALLY glad I haven't seen any of my teachers on here
They might not be as laid back about it as you are

[daemonized]

Do you find your material too challenging, or not challenging enough?

[akatatai]

Uh, well
Looking at math makes me feel like my brain is going to drain out of my ears, for one

[daemonized]

Ah, numbers. I wish you luck there; I would offer to aid you, if my expertise did not lie in a completely different area.

[akatatai]

Yeah? What do you teach?

[daemonized]

I'm a law professor at the local university.
