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?

Because those are the colors that they were painted.

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

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! ]

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.]

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.

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.

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"??

Never say never. My paint brush is still intact, and not all of the city has been fully restored yet. You may just find your own paint brush waiting somewhere.

Yes, tentative. Should you try to push yourself too much so soon after recovery, I may have to have another talk with our fine-feathered friend.

Really? Where did you find your paintbrush? I haven't seen any around so far in my apartment.

I won't push myself too hard, really! But I do have to get back to my jobs... I let Daisuke cover too much while I was sick last month so I have to get on top of it again.

Mr. Carlisle sent us coordinates leading us to our individual paintbrushes in various areas of the blank space that was the city. Yours may still be out there, but I don't know for sure.

I see. It was good of Daisuke to take up the burden in your absence, but he should be kept from pushing himself as well. In that case, I approve of your decision to return to your jobs and accept your promise that you shall not push yourself too far.

I'll take a look around for it then. Thanks for the info, Byakuya!

Don't worry, I don't want to go back to being on bedrest so I'll take it as easy as possible :) I actually wanted to ask if I could take a small break being in the mascot costume and do something else in the meanwhile? Being in there is super hot and I don't know if it'll be a good idea for me to get back in it right now.

Think nothing of it.

My, my. Someone is certainly in a mood to ask favors.

But maybe I won't give you a hard time. The Chicken Nugget could use a few days rest, and I could find other uses for you, to be sure.
