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!

As I told someone else, all art is cultural, whether geographical or otherwise. We cannot create art within a cultural-less vacuum.

It is interesting to think about, right?

[cornets]

I guess?
But i don't really get it...

[liberal_arts]

It's okay to not 'get' it. Art is something that one 'feels' more than they 'understand', anyways.

Have you ever participated in a tea ceremony?

[cornets]

I don't think i could sit still for that long lol
I was way too young to take when i still lived in japan too

[liberal_arts]

Well I suppose it does take a certain level of maturity in order to properly enjoy it.

[cornets]

It's one of those things i don't get
But i respect it

[liberal_arts]

And that's really the most I can ask.

Do you have any creative pursuits?

[cornets]

I don't know if it counts but
I like making trying to make new moves for soccer
It's not good to have the same movements and strategies all the time
Keeps the game exciting

[liberal_arts]

I'd say it counts. It is, after all, partially performative, correct?

[cornets]

You can look at it that way
Like a play or one of those shows where they make everything up as they go
Improvement shows?

[liberal_arts]

Improvisation. And yes, that's an excellent analogy!

[cornets]

Thank you!

What about you?
Which arts are your favorite?

[liberal_arts]

Ah, that's like asking a mother to choose their favorite child!

[cornets]

Really?
I like a lot of sports
But I definitely have a favorite

[liberal_arts]

Which is understandable, of course. But I suppose in my case, I've dedicated so much of my life to becoming a modern day renaissance man that I can hardly pick a favorite.

[cornets]

I can see you're really passionate about it

[liberal_arts]

As anyone should be, with their life's pursuits. Would you say you have that same passion for the sport of soccer?

[cornets]

I am!
I just think it's amazing to be so passionate about all of art and not just one thing

[liberal_arts]

I suppose my calling's always just been to creative expression itself, and not a particular medium.
