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!

How do you guys keep breaking this city in the first place is what I want to know.

And that big project sounds ominous...

Maybe if we had an idea of what the storm might be about, we could protect ourselves.

[imaginex]

Yes.

Right now I don't know how much my bow will help or not.

[missingache]

I don't even have a weapon, how can I even help.

[He will soon, though.]

[imaginex]

You've always seemed very resourceful to me, so I'm sure there must be ways.

[missingache]

Maybe if I got something like in that weird memory, it'd be better than nothing.
I think I might ask my brother for ideas, I think he's got weapons.

[imaginex]

Oh, that's right. I forgot you had a brother.

... Then he got weapons from Retrospec?

That'd be pretty spiteful if he did it on purpose just for burning his tongue.
Or maybe it was a conspiracy by food companies for people to buy more foods that they hate around the holidays because they can't taste them anyways.
There's so many reasons we could find and talk about...

[penalizing]

i dunno if people would buy foods they hate though
if it all tastes the same, wouldn't you just buy whatever's cheapest or most filling or something???
i dunno

until we have an actual answer, it's fun to speculate silly answers instead

[missingache]

Sometime's people hate what's cheap and filling, like ramen.
Those people are not the kind of people I want in my life because ramen is amazing.

Speculating sometimes gives people the right answer, but with these guys?
Might just be theories being flung into the left field.

[penalizing]

yeah, i don't mind ramen, either!!
i'd probably hate it if i had to eat it all day every day, but otherwise it's pretty good

oh, i don't expect to be right at all!!!
it's just fun to be ridiculous

[missingache]

If you make it in different ways, it's hard to get sick of it.

I guess so.
It's not like the adults are ridiculous, like, ever.
Have you seen some of their theories?
They're taking everything these Retrospect people are saying way too seriously.

[penalizing]

it's hard to know how much of it is real!!
like i'm not sure if i really believe that i was an alien before... but then again, where are all these different memories coming from??
it's kind of a big mystery
so i don't blame people for coming up with all sorts of theories

What, have someone send you a fake notice or have them read an obituary?

[blind_badass]

Have them read something sad in a chirpy tone. Like an obituary.

[missingache]

Now I want to do this too...

[blind_badass]

This is terrible but I want to make this happen now.

[missingache]

When I figure out how I can make my phone read things out loud to me, I'll be trying it asap.

[blind_badass]

Although overall, I should try to make everyone's texts sound less like robots and more like people. It's a bit difficult to figure out just by listening to what I can do, but I'll manage somehow.

Wait.

Isn't that the guy that got married when I got here?

[destiny_key]

yeah thats him
idk what she sees in him tbh

but hes gone now so i guess whatever

[missingache]

Maybe she sees something we don't, and that's between them.
Love is weird like that.

You really, really don't like him.

[destiny_key]

i do not
hes gross and a jerk
and absolutely the most terrible retrospec employee

[missingache]

Have you ever even met the guy?
He could be different in person.

[destiny_key]

no hes definitely a jerk
you can ask anyone who was here when he was writing these posts
theyll all agree that jim sucks
