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! 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!

Hey! You can't blame me for stating the obvious.

[promisedyou]

Too late, already am. ☆

[hairstroke]

The next time I see you in person, I'm pulling on your cheeks. Be prepared.

[promisedyou]

Okay.

[hairstroke]

Wow
How did you know that's my favorite Gisney song?

[promisedyou]

That much should be obvious, right? ☆

[hairstroke]

I'm impressed you know me so well.

So, tell me Mio.

Do you see me for the wonder that I am?

[ Did he run his hand through his hair after he typed that out? Absolutely. ]

[promisedyou]

That's my job, you know.

But no, sorry, I don't.

[ She's well aware that this is public so while she can be a little embarrassing, she... has her limits. ]

[hairstroke]

"Your job" then I look forward to what other things you can guess correctly about me before I tell you.

Hey! Surely you must be joking.

[ Leon stop being gross on a public network. ]

[promisedyou]

I'll do my best. ☆

But as for whether I'm joking or not... isn't that for you to find out?

[hairstroke]

I suppose that makes it more fun when you put it like that. I'll just have to ask you in person, then.

AND SUDDENLY, OUT OF NOWHERE

[Okay, so he may have gotten on Mio's case for following his Retrospec conversations in the past, but with her history of bugging Leon, he couldn't help but keep an eye on this exchange unfolding on the network--

... except now he's regretting it because nani the fuck is going on here]

You two do realize this is a public network, right?

[promisedyou]

Of course I do. ☆

It's not like I'm saying anything on here that I'm hiding, unlike a certain someone...

[cardcaptured]

awelifxc

I'm not hiding anything!!

[CHILD THERE'S A RIVER IN EGYPT YOU NEED TO VISIT]

[promisedyou]

Wow, that's a lie if I ever saw one.

You know, there is a backspace key for your constant keyboard smashing.

[cardcaptured]

[-- oh goddammit did he forget to delete that again HE DID]

I KNOW THAT!!

[HOW DID THE TABLES TURN LIKE THIS--]

That's not the point here! Just how long have you

I mean

You know

[He doesn't even want to SAY it]

[promisedyou]

Oh, you do? I wouldn't have guessed it.

As for your question, I don't know what you're talking about, you'll have to be more specific✩

1/????

[hairstroke]

2/????

[hairstroke]

[............ ]

3/????

[hairstroke]

[ WELL, HE DONE FUCKED UP ]

4/OKAY I'M DONE

[hairstroke]

[ There's a delay before he finally responds to his cousin. HE SWEARS he planned on telling him eventually, he just wasn't ready to bring this up quite yet. God, he really should have made his messages to Mio private. Some "genius" he is... ]

Yes.

[ That's it. That's the message. ]

not here

[promisedyou]

[ She's laughing at this message though, she can't imagine how long it took him to figure out how embarrassing he was being. Rest in pieces, Leon...... ]

THAT MULTIPARTER WAS WORTH IT

[cardcaptured]

[Is this karma for keeping tabs on him on the network? YOU BET YOUR ASS IT IS]

You both are gross.

[OWCH, XIAOLANG.]

I'm not sure I want to know what happened here.

THANK YOU FRIEND ♥

[hairstroke]

[ OUCH INDEED!!! Way to sucker punch him. ]

WELL
Then I won't tell you if that's what you want

[ AKA he's just way too fucking embarrassed now... ]

[cardcaptured]

You've already done that, so it's not like it makes a difference.

[XIAOLANG YOU ARE FULL OF FIRE TODAY]

... did you always like her like-- that?
