high school martial artist yells at cloud

[momentaryspring]

You all acted like I was delusional for taking a picture of a creepy man in black, but WHAT HAVE YOU TO SAY NOW?

Does the disappearance of an entire species from the public consciousness strike you as a bit odd? And I just spent a good thirty minutes stuck inside the most suspicious headquarters building imaginable!

I'm not saying I told you so, but I told you so.

[ wait a second[ ] ]

Color changing necklace? I haven't heard about those.

[glacian]

[There's only one problem with that, this isn't spam but an actual person instead.]

No one remembers having horses around anymore. Only these bipedal birds. Just yesterday that was quite the opposite.

The stars are misaligned.

[divine_braid]

Makes me want to avoid that building.

You said it was empty? Like... completely empty? Or was there like furniture and stuff?

[momentaryspring]

I think it was in Tisse, though I couldn't tell you exactly where. I was lost at the time.

However, it does have an ugly neon sign with the company name on it. So I'm sure you could find it fairly easily.

[momentaryspring]

No, empty of people. There were some chairs, a potted plant. An elevator. The things you'd find in an office, except no papers or numbers that were of any use in trying to get out. I tried to find some way to contact the custodian, but no luck.

[divine_braid]

Were you able to get past the lobby? You know, like if you had gone further in instead of trying to get back out?

[momentaryspring]

[ siiiigh

maybe he'd get an offer to transfer all his wealth to a down on his luck Nigerian prince ]

Yes, that's what I said. Except for the part about misaligned stars.

[momentaryspring]

No. I contemplated trying to break the door open, but I was with an officer.

[ so instead he contemplated trying to break the window open. 8'D ]

[threnodeity]

Perhaps those working at Retrospec have stolen all the horses.

[She's kinda joking.]

[strongestheart]

They were tossing them out during the parade! So I kind of saw it right up front, but like. They had the Retrospec logo on it! And would change like a mood ring!

[momentaryspring]

At this point, it wouldn't surprise me.

[this week has been goddamn weird]

[momentaryspring]

Is that really all that exceptional? They sell mood rings at novelty stores...

[ he wasn't sure exactly how they worked in a chemistry sense, but they basically keyed off body heat, right? ]

[strongestheart]

How many of them are that big and hang off your neck? And still WORK?

...I'm gonna be honest. I don't think it was changing randomly.

[momentaryspring]

I've never seen one like the one you describe, it's true. So you're saying that these necklaces actually worked?

That is, they told you what your mood was?

[strongestheart]

Pretty sure! Like, I wasn't paying it much mind at the time, but the more I think about it... I've still got it, even. Just. Kind of afraid to put it on.

After... everything.

[darthvaper]

Still not convinced on the photo, but I'm definitely in a more listening mood than I was before. There's a lot of strange things going on.

[me_matey]

-Well... At least she can get a grand slam.-

[momentaryspring]

That's probably for the best, then. Who knows what else it's going to do? Maybe there's even a tag or something in it.

[youraffection]

[ To be honest...? ]

you know coming from you...its hard to tell if ur joking or not

[ That...might be a compliment? ]

[notyourutopian]

One of them trapped me in a coffee shop doorway and refused to move until it ate my muffin.
So, yes, probably dangerous.
Or at least intimidating.

[divine_braid]

I'm sure if the two of you were trapped, and you broke the door to get out, he'd probably let you off the hook.

[momentaryspring]

To borrow a common phrase: No shit.

[momentaryspring]

In that case, let me answer seriously: I have no idea if these things are connected or not.

[momentaryspring]

Ryoga Hibiki I didn't know birds ate muffins. Was it an escapee?

[ surely they didn't just let these giant chickens loose in the streets ]

[momentaryspring]

Maybe. Luckily, it didn't come to that. So I guess I'll have to wait for another opportunity to break a door down.
