Don't bother the techs.

Seriously, don't. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but all I'm getting is that it's the equivalent of being hacked and someone who knows layer theory better than we do is out there screwing things up and tampering with the project.

I don't have a really good update for you guys, but bear with us. Please?

cant argue with that part
still bullshit tho

[ Literally it's not if- well, she can't blame that, so. ]

I suppose so, yes.

question is
if this is a set of problems were supposed to fix
how does a weird magic paintbrush factor into all this
am i in some kind of kids tv special

More or less!

the brushes gave form to a world which has poofed out last month, or at least marked it out.

stuff looked like normal to me once painted
just
weird colors

[ her fault? maybe some of it. ]

Well same but the fact a lot of the city ended up mono-color as a result is weird.

could be whoever is fucking with us is colorblind

I imagine it's more everyone's brush only had one color.

same difference
i mean we could mix and match
doesnt seem to matter

We had to mix in order to get a color that wasn't black. I'd imagine it was a team exercise.

expecting people to work together
do these people actually understand social media
their faking it hard enough

Honestly, a lot of their shenanigans before now have involved teamwork... I have a few theories about it, but they're just that.

go on
i aint got nothing better to do than listen

There's two ... no, maybe three main ways I see it. Though I don't claim to be an expert to know it all.

First, that Retrospec for some reason or another wants to foster that teamwork for its own sake and thus designs most of the fixes we're actually involved for that. I guess just to have us work together? Maybe to make us ready for something else.

Second, that there's some tangible value to us working together. Like the energy of our souls (which I know sounds silly, but they at least believe it exists) resonates better when people are cooperating.

Or third, the cop out of something between the two.

that doesnt sound any more batshit insane than anything else
so who knows
maybe calling it a social media fail wasnt right
more like not getting how group projects worked in school

I know I was the sort who ended up relying on everyone else, if I'm honest. Back then, at least.

me too tbh

I'd like to say age made me more responsible.

good for you
me
i just dodge groups unless its a band
just works out better that way

Yeah?

Well, if that works for you, I can't judge.

guess you wouldnt mind carrying my ass if we got forced together

No I'd mind a lot

But I'd still do it if I needed to.

aw thats all noble and shit
not like retrospec is a fan of giving us a choice

Well, you can choose to help or not, but... no, they don't.

sounds like you got the gist of it
must have had the app for a while
