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!

i might have been exaggerating when i said it was the worst thing to happen to me but not by much

hopefully they don't make a reappearance next december

[ossifragant]

I hope not!

they sure had a bizarrely specific appearance, didn't they? it makes me think we're being screwed with by people who think they're funny

[robitussin]

yeah

that and the thing about fog monsters in october makes me really suspicious about holiday based shenanigans

[ossifragant]

I'm gonna be honest, that sounds like absolute hell

[robitussin]

yeah like

imagine valentines day

[ossifragant]

I don't even want to think about that
can you imagine what kind of creepy thing would be set loose on us?
it'd probably be some terrifying holiday card cherub

the singing mistletoe was bad enough

[robitussin]

a cherub is the least horrifying option i've envisioned

i could totally take a cherub

[ossifragant]

it'd probably be singing weird love songs, though

[robitussin]

define weird

[ossifragant]

I don't know, maybe they sound like parrots when they sing. Or have some sort of freaky stalker-sounding song.

[robitussin]

at least you would know they'd be gone after february which i would imagine is better than a real stalker situation

[ossifragant]

that is a good point, isn't it?
with any luck they won't stick around if they show up

though I still don't know where the hell the bats went

[robitussin]

it's probably better not to think about it too much

[ossifragant]

more than likely, yeah

[robitussin]

avoiding hard questions is a good pastime

[ossifragant]

that's right
especially in this city, where apparently weird things happening is just something that's happened here for months without most of us noticing

[robitussin]

god i hate thinking about that it's soooo creepy

like if tomorrow we lost the app we would just go back to thinking everything is fine

[ossifragant]

I don't understand how it could even be possible

it's unsettling
