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!

you do know that the more someone insists they aren't cute, the more everyone will call them cute, right? it's one of the unspoken laws of the universe.

so what are you going to do with it?

[ERK-- he can't argue on that point, because experience has definitely proven him right on this. But still...]

It's a stupid law.

[Wow, nice defense there, Xiaolang, A+]

But I'm going to learn how to fight with it, obviously. It's been quiet the past few months, but I don't want to be unprepared in case something does wind up happening. [Like weird nightmare fog, or monsters, or being kidnapped by Retrospec-- you know, all the stuff that happened before he received the app.]

most are. :)

really?? ha! finally somebody gets it! swords are definitely meant to be used. who's going to teach you? i want to watch!

[cardcaptured]

... that's none of your business. Whatever training I get is going to be a private matter.

[But also because this guy iiiiis kind of making him a little uneasy? Because, for as brash as he was earlier, Xiaolang is probably the most rigid, serious, rule-following kid one could meet, and he didn't want this dude to get the wrong idea about him.]

I'm only doing it because I may need to. If there wasn't all of... this going on right now, I wouldn't bother with it.

come on, kid. you're doing something both smart and bad ass. you don't have to try so hard to make it sound boring.

i get if you want to keep your training secret tho. surprise is a great weapon for guys who aren't confident.
