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!

Yeah, I guess so! Maybe you're right. I'll see if that works out.

[livingdeadgirl]

do you remember having any other powers?

[maidofmistakes]

Not yet. I hope I had more than just that, though. Maybe I could go through walls, if I can see through them.

[livingdeadgirl]

ooh yes thatd be neat!
maybe you were like a ghost themed hero

[maidofmistakes]

Maybe the S stands for Spirit or something, then.

[livingdeadgirl]

the S?

[maidofmistakes]

Weird symbol I remember having on practically everything I owned. It looked kind of like an S.

[livingdeadgirl]

huh
do you have a picture

[maidofmistakes]

Just this one:



I kind of added the question marks after that.

[livingdeadgirl]

i see :0
that is kinda weird!
although actually

hold on a sec

[a minute or two later she posts a picture of a ratty t-shirt spread out on her bed, the red Aries symbol prominent on its front.]

i got this shirt last month
and at the time i didnt really think about it
but that aries symbol
i think it was also on everything she owned?
or at least all her shirts

[maidofmistakes]

Huh. Maybe putting your sign on stuff was fashionable? Like -- was it the 90s where you put that on everything? Some time way in the past, anyway.

[livingdeadgirl]

no i dont think thats it
i mean i get the impression this was something everybody did
but i dont think it was the 90s
since it wasnt on earth
i think there is a distinct possibility her entire species just had no fashion sense

[maidofmistakes]

Maybe. I mean, it doesn't seem that bad! But everyone wearing the same thing might be bad. If that makes sense. Sorry.

[livingdeadgirl]

haha i wouldnt say its bad necessarily
at least the shirt is black!

[maidofmistakes]

I guess so! That does probably go with everything.
