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!

It sounds like there's a lot of problems that those in Retrospect don't want to tell us. Guess there's nothing to do but stay calm, though.

But at least our sense of taste is better. Happy New Year to you too, Joanne. Don't overwork yourself.

When I don't have bed rest.

[maskreant]

deal.

i'll bring a gift for you.

[odasaku]

Thanks. You don't have to, though.

[maskreant]

think of it as a housewarming gift.

you are the host that is going to feed me, anyway.

Probably.

Any kind of card games you remember playing?

[penalizing]

no, just mahjongg and board games so far
maybe later??

[odasaku]

Probably. Although the internet is full of tutorials.

[penalizing]

oh, i'm not worried about that
card games are super easy to learn!!

That's true. It would be bad if you got suspected for something because of that.

[saburai]

Someone did bring to my attention that we're allowed to store received items in the mailbox, so perhaps I will return it there.

[odasaku]

That sounds like a good idea. Store it and forget about it.

[saburai]

I am not sure if it will be as easy to forget about as that... but it's certainly a better option than the alternative.

[lalliho]

you look around and call for Jolyne. nothing happens

then the bow glows a little and you hear a voice in your head

"already? what's up?"

[lalliho]

"jolyne? you called me, duh"

Lots of problems or lots of secrets? Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

I'm glad for taste again too, life without steak is no life at all.

[odasaku]

Could be both. Secrets cause problems.

I feel the same way about curry rice. Life has not been the same without it.

[activatingcombatmode]

They sure seem secretive to me

Holy hell, yeah. Good food and BEER.

[odasaku]

Beer was also very missed. Losing taste might have been the worst to happen, honestly.

[despirit]

even a privacy invading controlling overlord company has its flaws. wouldn't be a company otherwise.

they definitely celebrated new year's, though, they're good at being festive.

[odasaku]

Well we can hope that they couldn't taste their Christmas dinner either.

[despirit]

as long as no one went on vacation again.

[odasaku]

I think everyone should get a vacation every once in a while.
