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 thought everything I saw outside my window was part of a feverish delusion... but it was really real?!

Why is my apartment building pink and the bushes purple...

PS: Also can someone please do me a favour and come over to my place to remove a crane off my chest? I can barely breathe.

[memoryshifter]

Because no one could paint things in the right color, and now we are stuck with this mess.

_{[This fashion designer is very displeased. Colors have a purp—
Wait. What?]}

How did you get a crane on your chest?

[optimistical]

I own a crane...

And I guess he decided to use me as his nest while I was sick for the past month.

[memoryshifter]

That makes more sense than what I first thought. I can probably help, but have you tried loud noises?

[optimistical]

Yeah, that was the first thing I tried but he didn't even budge.

I don't think he really cares. He's always kind of ignored me since I got him.

[memoryshifter]

Of course the easiest solution never works. I figured I would ask before coming over, but if you need me to come remove your bird, I shall do so.

[optimistical]

I don't want to impose if it's too much of trouble. The crane kind of...

... pecks a lot with people he doesn't know.

[falsepretentious]

Because those are the colors that they were painted.

PS: My physical presence shouldn't be necessary. Just put me on speakerphone.

[optimistical]

But why would someone paint the bushes PURPLE??

And all right, give me a moment and I'll call you.

[ which is exactly what he'll do in a minute! ]

[falsepretentious]

Our paint brushes come with a bit of a limited pallet.

Very good.

[Byakuya will soothingly command the bird to release Makoto and then hang up.]

[optimistical]

Couldn't we just have used different paint, though? And clean our brushes?

[ naegi still hasn't caught up with everything since he might have only woken up not that long ago. also, the crane (un)surprisingly listens to byakuya and gets right off naegi?! naegi takes a minute to text the other half of his response to byakuya because he just stared in disbelief at what just happened. this is ridiculous... ]

Wow, I can't believe that actually did the trick... Thanks, Byakuya! Now I can finally get up from my bed.

[falsepretentious]

Makoto, you seem to be quite out of the loop. We all received specialized paint for repainting the city, but each brush could only use one color. Different colors could be combined to make other colors, and I attempted to oversee combinations that were as fitting as possible whenever I could, but unfortunately I cannot be omnipresent during a city-wide project.

[And then, as for the other half...]

Of course it worked. You're quite welcome, Makoto. You now have our tentative permission to roam freely.

[optimistical]

Wow, a lot has really happened while I was sick last month... It sounds like it was really hectic for everyone. I wish I could have helped. I think I might have actually had a bit of fun painting everything back.

[ even if it's the boring type of painting, he probably could have made it fun somehow ]

"Tentative"??

[steadycourse]

Are you feeling better, Professor Naegi?! I'm glad to hear that! ヽ(＾Д＾)ﾉ

But you have not been suffering under a feverish delusion! Color was really gone for a while and we've all tried our hardest to repaint everything!

If needed, I can come over and repaint your apartment red!! And remove that crane from your chest!

[optimistical]

Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better! My fever is at least gone now so I don't have to stay in bed all the time.

Thanks for the offers but if you're busy, it's okay! At the very least, repainting an entire apartment sounds like a lot to ask for when it's so much work.

[steadycourse]

Just don't overexert yourself! You haven't completely won this battle yet, so don't let your guard down!

I don't mind!! I'd be happy to assist you!

[optimistical]

Haha, I won't. I missed a lot of work last month because I was sick so I have to make sure that I'll be ready to head back.

Thanks, Kiyotaka, I appreciate it :) I think the front door's locked since Daisuke isn't home so I might have to throw my keys out the window for you to catch.

[steadycourse]

That's fine!! I'm a great catcher-- I'll be ready!

I can come over now then! See you in 15 minutes! o(≧∇≦o)

[optimistical]

See you soon! ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶

[ blah blah we can probably fastforward naegi throwing the keys outside his window for ishida to grab and all that stuff! unless you want ishida to get hit in the face with the keys but naegi will just be Dying in his bed, looking miserable with the worst bed hair in the world and a crane sitting on his chest. said crane will peck at ishida if he gets anywhere close :') ]

[sketchythief]

[ assuming this was after the crane extraction ]

some people just wanted purple buildings i guess...

are you feeling better though? i should be home soon

[optimistical]

It's kind of disorientating. There are so many bold colours out there...

But yeah, I think I'm better now. My fever's gone, at least, but I still feel pretty gross.

[sketchythief]

haha yeah i know what you mean... everything feels like pop art

i got some bath bomb from a friend so please use it when i come home

im glad youre feeling better though...

[optimistical]

That's really what it feels like. I think I saw a dog run outside that was painted green as well?!

Thanks, Daisuke, and thanks for taking care of the apartment while I was sick. I can't believe how many days of work I missed while I was in bed...

[sketchythief]

oh yeah i think i saw that dog once... it was really weird seeing it for the first time but then I just gradually accepted that its... normal :')

i think this was the sickest time ive ever seen from you, so im really really glad youre doing better. im always here to support you, remember? so im happy that i had the chance to do that

this bath bomb is supposed to be ~rejuvenating your soul~ so

i hope you look forward to it :D

[optimistical]

I really shouldn't be surprised after being on the app for this long but I still find myself in shock every single month...

Thanks, Daisuke. I don't know what I'd do without you ( ; ω ; ) I spoke with Byakuya so I'll be going back to work soon but I at least can stay out of the mascot for a bit so I think that'll help.

Do you mean that literally because I can't really tell anymore after Retrospec...
