Have any of you had people arou░d you lose the Retrospec app all at once? My family all lost the app within the same week, but it can't just be a coinc░dence. I don't think they broke any rules or any░hing...

Anyway, it's been a few weeks sin░e then, but if any of you know Hinata, Rise, or Chiaki Aoi, try not to bother them too much about Retrosp░c, if you can.

Also, if anyo░e has some free time on their hands and wouldn't min░ stopping by Palettes in Tisse, I could use a hand. There's no way to get every color ju░t right, but it's kind of depressing to have an art st░re where all of the paints and other art supplies are all the same few colors (but not colorle░s anymore, at least). I'm a painter to begin with, and my color's something like this, so I'm happy to help out with pai░ting anything in return!

Jamie Doh Oh, yikes, that's so rough!! And with the layer thing being all weird, or whatever the explanation was, it's got to be even harder... I'm sorry. I hope they get it back soon. Or... that things... turn out the way that's best for everyone. You know.

I'm not really an artist, but if it's just giving things a neat, even coat, I can handle it!

[akatatai]

It's pretty tough to explain it, ye░h... Chiaki only had the app for little while and Rise seemed kind of troubled by eve░ything, so maybe it's for the best.

But if you're willing to help out, that wo░ld be great! Your color is really pretty, too.

[floret]

Are they doing okay?
I mean, normally I think people who lose the app are fine because they just go back to thinking everything is normal, but... that whole aspect of how Retrospec works seems like it's on the fritz or whatever, right? (I mean, I don't want to dwell on this if it's something you'd rather not discuss, but... you know)

Oh lol ty!
It's wisteria, right?
I mean, as an artist, is that what you'd call it?

[robitussin]

man that's shitty timing

i'm sorry

[akatatai]

Right? It seems too perfect to assume it hap░ened for no reason.

It's fine thou░h, don't worry. I still have friends on here!

[nachetanya]

Same here, actually, at the beginning of this month . . .

That family I told you about is down to one still on the app! Other than me, I mean.

[akatatai]

You too? I'm sorry... we only talk░d about it a little over a month ago, too

This is just too strange
It's not normal for this ma░y people to lose access at once, is it?

[alitaba]

what a weird thing be a common trend
my aunt and cousins all forgot around the same time too

[akatatai]

So it really is more than just me...
This is so weird! Is it just cous░ns? Because the three family members I mentioned are all my cousins too

I hope you're doing okay though

[maidofmistakes]

I have kind of a bright red, does that help? I mean, we can't leave the city like this. I have X-ray vision, but...

[akatatai]

That would help a bunch! We cou░d make a nice purple from red and blue

Whoa... that's so cool! But does it even do anyth░ng with the city like it is?

[usurpers]

not all at once like t░░░, but my sister was on here a while b░ck. a lot of friends just lost the app now too.

and if you could use lime i could head over later

[akatatai]

Sorry to hear that... people come and go pretty stead░ly, but it's even harder now that even people wit░out the app are starting to realize what's going on

Lime would work!
We could make a nice teal that way

[justfists]

I'm sorry... But I'm sure they'll be fine. We all were before the app, weren't we?

As for helping with your store... I'm also a blue color. I don't know if that would really help much.

[akatatai]

Yeah, you're right
I'm not really depressed about it or anything, just wor░ied that it might happen to even more people I know

More blue wouldn't be bad, since it would probably make a different blue, but...
Pretty much the whole store is blue right now, since my friend who works there has a similar color
We kind of colored everything we could... I guess that's what ha░pens when two painting maniacs come together
But thanks, it's really nice of you to offer!

[Thanks, Yusuke.]

I don't believe it has anything to do with rules, but with some sort of spiritual misalignment. No one I know who's had the application deleted seemed to do anything "wrong," and there are plenty of disagreeable people still in contact.

[Truly, it would be easier if her family forgot the app entirely and left these tasks to her, but things are never that fortunate.]

I have never been artistically inclined, but most people would call me detail-oriented. I'm happy to help restore some of your supplies if you still need it, though I ask that you make sure no essential services in your area need to be brought back first.

[akatatai]

Spiritual misalig░ment?
That sounds pretty complicated...
But it's at least good to know that they probably didn't do anything wrong

It's been a few weeks, so I think all the essential stuff is working?
At least in the store and at my sc░ool and house and stuff...
But details are important! If you have extra time, that would be a big help

[liberal_arts]

Well, I owe so much to Palettes in my career, it's only right I help out.

[akatatai]

Really?! That's a pretty big compliment!
It's owned by my family, so I wor░ part time there after school

You know, you DO look kind of familiar
Do you c░me by a lot? I should shower you in discount coupons if I haven't already

[chuusai]

My mom and my b░other both got it right when I started then disap░eared after the first month
It suck░ but I think it's just how░it goes

░'m like t░is so I'll be down lat░r to help but you probably ░new that

[akatatai]

They were both on Retrosp░c too? I never knew...
Rise seemed kind of troubled by all of it, and Chiaki got it as soon░as he got back to the city and then lost it right away
So at least he's here, but yeah... Hinata had ░t longer than me, though

I can always count on you! Let's pain░ the town (or the store) green!

[infreefall]

it was really all at once?
i knew a few people who lost the app, but never like that. i wonder what could’ve happened.

oh, right! my brush is pink if you need it!

[akatatai]

Yeah, it's weird, isn░t it?
I knew people who lost access before this too, but this is the first time it's been all at on░e

If you're in the area sometime and willing to help, we could make a nice violet!

[theveilisin]

I'm honestly rather relieved that my family has so far stayed mostly uninvolved in this bizarre turn of events. I do realize, however, that it's different to watch someone simply forget about something so momentous.

My brush is a metallic copper, if you have need of something like that.

[akatatai]

It's weird, right? I hope it stays that way for you
At least my parents have never been on here, so I can be thankful for that
But it was fun while it lasted, since I felt more comfortable when I got the Retrospec app since my cousin Hinata already had it

Metallic? That's so cool!
I don't know how well it would mix with blue, but it would probably turn kind of grey-blue or grey-orange around the midpoint, so I'd be down for that
