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!

holy shit, man

please tell me you two got pics or something, i would kill for proof of this

[sotenbori]

i actually think jirou might have some
he gifted us the ridiculous costumes we wore so he mustve known somehow??

[doublesmall]

jirou, huh? i don't think we've ever spoken

maybe i'll see if fawkes has a copy or two before i go bugging strangers for that

[sotenbori]

haha yeah it was wild
worked out well too we saved the day and solved the mystery

[doublesmall]

sure as hell worked out better than things did for our group half the time

if i never see a skeleton again in my life it'll be too soon

[sotenbori]

yeah ours was straightforward it was math and then library shenanigans mostly

sorry about the skeletons

[doublesmall]

i mean fighting a bunch of stuff was also pretty straightforward, and i guess exploding an unreality was actually pretty damn cool, but the crypts were still gross.

what other library shenanigans were there?

[sotenbori]

we punched a lot of things before/during the math too

other people had different rooms, with different themes i think
most of the time we were working on unlocking the library

[doublesmall]

i guess they're pretty set on the 'fight a lot of things and unlock something else' pattern

which makes sense, i guess, if it was supposed to be a similar kind of test?

[sotenbori]

seemed kinda repetitive but i guess at least theyre consistent

i dont mind the fighting too much but ive got shit to do
club doesnt stop existing just cause unreality shit is happening

[doublesmall]

right?? i had to close down the bar for a while there while we dealt with that shit, nevermind the monster problems

it's hard to run a business when everything's going to hell

but if we didn't stop it i guess there wouldn't have been a bar to worry about, so.

[sotenbori]

exactly - everyone not on the network is just like This Is Fine and keeps coming, the government still wants you to keep up with taxes and code regulations and im trying to fucking punch monsters in the face what a mess

at least you can run the bar without too many hands
when everyones all tired its hard to get people to come in
im gonna have to start hosting

[doublesmall]

yeah, we're lucky in that regard, but we're usually pretty shortstaffed to begin with so two or three of us being involved in unreality shit makes it pretty difficult

at least the regulars usually understand that shit comes up, even if they don't know what kind of shit it is.

[sotenbori]

heres hoping this shit wont fuck up things too much

[doublesmall]

good luck to both of us then, sounds like we'll need it.

think we've got some employee overlap going on too, now, so if you guys get too shorthanded, let me know. i don't want to overwork the poor guy.

[sotenbori]

shit i dont know how shuji pulls it all off
that kids like a monster he keeps going

if you need some extra hands too ive got a few people who aren't on the network
im sure theyd come in even if it was fucking raining pigs

[doublesmall]

he's older than me and yet i'm the one left feeling old, how does that shit work.

but yeah? if you can spare someone who knows how to mix a decent drink when things go south, that'd help out a lot. that's where we're shortest, i've got more support staff than bartenders.

[sotenbori]

man ive just gotten used to that
everyone thinks im an old man might as well embrace it

yeah ill send them your way when you need it
ive got more hosts than bartenders but even they can mix drinks
probably
