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 dunno
but it's probably something diabolical
like harvesting our organs
that kinda thing

[lastcomfort]

What?? But that's terrible!!

And I'm sure there are much easier ways to do it!

[thebeastwithout]

[why does gar seem excited about this prospect]

no way!
they need 'em to be juicy and plump
all pumped up with adrenaline before they start harvesting

it's true i saw it on y-files

[lastcomfort]

Y-files?? Oh! I love that show!

[ Complete 180?? ]

[thebeastwithout]

yeah!! did you see the episode that referenced this

you know the one where the aliens took over this city and convinced everyone they were government agents doing a census but actually they were just collecting people and picking the ones that were juiciest

[lastcomfort]

Yes! And then they were getting ready to sell their organs to the highest alien bidders! You though that "oh no, they're to make zombies" but they were actually for dinner!

[ Well, that's what Orihime thought. ]

[thebeastwithout]

oh

yeah i always figured they were gonna eat 'em but that's what i think about everything anyway
usually i'm right like 70% of the time

and then they had the little girl in the vat of bbq sauce and they were trying to convinc her that it was a cleansing bath to prepare her

super creepy

[lastcomfort]

So I guess we should be wary of Retrospec offering us BBQ sauce?

[thebeastwithout]

yeah that sounds like the right moral of this story
bbq sauce is great though

...what were we talking about again??

[lastcomfort]

Um...whether to trust Retrospec or not!

[thebeastwithout]

right
and the answer is
definitely not 'cause they're probably trying to eat us

glad we cleared that up

[lastcomfort]

Well...I don't know! I guess anything is possible, but I don't really want to believe they would do something like THAT.

[thebeastwithout]

you gotta be a little less trusting, man

all kinds a' bad guys are out there right

that's what you learn from y files

[lastcomfort]

But sometimes they're just lizard people who are looking for a place to live...

[thebeastwithout]

that's what they say!
and then you realize they can only live in nests of human corpses
and then what're ya gonna do

[lastcomfort]

Try to stop them, of course! Call Mueller and Tully!

[thebeastwithout]

i dont think those are real people who live in this city

we can stop 'em though!!!

[lastcomfort]

But if the stuff in the show is real, why not them too? Maybe someone here will remember that they're Mueller or Tully in another life...!

[thebeastwithout]

...whoa

[he has to like. stop and think about that for a solid minute.]

mind blown.

i wanna be mueller! can i be mueller? do we get to pick?

[lastcomfort]

I don't see why not! Can I be Tully, then?

[thebeastwithout]

yeah!

ok we gotta be partners now! and learn to hunt down the supernatural! you up for this?

[lastcomfort]

I was BORN ready!!

[thebeastwithout]

let's do this thing
we got this

first mystery:
the dome that blocked out the sun and the evil conspiracy behind it

[lastcomfort]

Okay!! So why would they block out the sun...

Or, no! The sun just happens to be blocked. Why is the dome there in the first place? It can't be ALIENS because we're already aliens, right?

[thebeastwithout]

REVERSE ALIENS

i don't know what that means but it seems logical
