LOADING...OVERFLOW

[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!

I'm glad that we have most of taste back, but there's a few things that concern me.

1. Doesn't "don't get reckless" cause people to get reckless to begin with?
2. Who here actually thinks that whatever their 'big project' is, it's actually going to protect us?

Even so, it's still good to be optimistic, right? Even if it's cautiously so.

[livingdeadgirl]

for sure
its easy to fall into the trap of jaded cynicism
but weve got plenty of people who will do that for us

[promisedyou]

Exactly. I mean, it's okay to be skeptical, but then there's... being too pessimistic.

Maybe. But I don't want to assume either way. And yeah, basically.

[maidofmistakes]

Maybe I should try and tell Luna that. She was saying she can't fight crime since all she has for powers is summoning a dog.

[promisedyou]

But summoning a dog can still help...? I mean, it's a bit unconventional, though.

That's true, but having it be said makes it a lot more tempting, don't you think?

[robitussin]

fair point

reverse psychology and all that

Oh, you're talking about Kotone, right? We're sisters.

But saying "there can only be one" is highlandering, you know? Let there be equality!!

[thebeastwithout]

yeah i love that tv show that's why i said it

it's gonna work out! we just have to support chocobos first and make sure they don't get rid of 'em then we can work on the much less important horse thing

Honestly, it's better to be overprepared than under, most of the time.

And no. It didn't screw with me when I was doing things properly. But don't worry, sis, if that happens to you, I'll make sure to call an ambulance, okay? ☆

[penalizing]

not always, though!!!
sometimes being overprepared just wastes your time

i don't think i'd trust you to call an ambulance!!!
but it's okay, someone's going to go with me to make sure nothing bad happens anyway

☆ these two are embarrassing ( zhong hui )

Right? I'm glad someone understands. ❤

[ This is the most gross conversation that she's ever had on Retrospec... kill her now. ]

I feel like the point is moot, really. After people have been dealing with it for months, it's only obvious that the company itself cares less about us and more about their own personal well being.

dat subject title ( is true )

[hairstroke]

[ That heart causes him to blush and grin irl ]

Yeah, without a doubt. I've only had this for a month and it's become evident that they only care about themselves and we're all just unfortunate victims that got dragged into this.

No matter what ridiculous thing they end up throwing at us, you can count on me to protect you.

[ He's just going to add onto the grossness of this conversation... someone destroy him. ]

Looks like it.

I don't think I'll be entirely convinced until they do something that benefits us that isn't like... just simply "fixing their mistakes".

[chessking]

so I heard in august that they gave some people a bunch of superpowers

something along those lines, or were you thinking along the lines of something else?

☆ minato

[promisedyou]

Why do you think so?

[compendiem]

About which part?

☆ arion

[promisedyou]

[...previously]

Just because they say one thing doesn't necessarily mean that it's the truth. I hope it won't backfire, though...

[cornets]

I'm think it's okay to trust them even if it's a little bit
As long as you're prepared for emergencies too

Though the way she said defense against storms makes it sound like they're going to shoot at some clouds lol

[concasse]

yeah i'm assuming whatever they're working on is gonna blow back in our faces, but at least they get to say "they tried"

corporate's corporate, gotta cover their asses somehow

[promisedyou]

Honestly! I'm expecting it! And if it does, I can go "we all told you so!!"

[mutualistic]

I'm pretty sure "stay calm" and "don't get too reckless" means that whatever they're doing is probably going to make people want to do the opposite, if they have to say it.

[promisedyou]

Make you wonder if that was the plan all along, sometimes.
