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!

Nobody who works at Starbucks can be gloomy and boring!
Are you sure? I don't open up about this kind of thing very much
Or ever talk about middle school and stuff *because* it's depressing

So um
Ummmmm
Let's talk about coffee again!

Well, when I say it didn't sound depressing, I don't mean that I thought it sounded like it was no big deal,
or like I thought it was funny or something. It's just, it sounds like things are better now than they were, and that you're kind of figuring out who you are and who you want to be, right?
I mean, if you'd said you didn't feel like yourself in class, OR anywhere else, and also you didn't have any friends, and no one understood at all and you figured they probably never would, then THAT would have been depressing.

[ although Jamie does kind of feel like there's an unfair ratio of openness going on here, where Izumi's being really honest and Jamie's kind of not sharing anything.......... but he doesn't want to be depressing either, so.......... yeah ]

What kind of lattes are your favorite??
