Maurice was going to do this, but Maurice sucks so I sent him home before he could. Anyway, some of you may have noticed our new poll feature! We just don't have the time and resources to cater to all your "where is x item, what the fuck" complaints, so we had to streamline. The polls were the result of that! Coded them myself. I mean, Maurice did some of it, but I did most of it. So basically we're democratically crowd-sourcing what we're going to bother to fix for you! You can send thank you notes to the building, HR doesn't mind. So far it seems like you all care about the color blue most, so we fixed it! A little, anyway. I suggest a bracing walk through the woods if you particularly missed the color and don't feel like gazing deeply into a hobo's eyes. You've all been reading up on QR codes, right? You might also want to learn to start a fire. Just a tip. Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated As per the World Regains tracker, fruits and flowers that were once blue are once again blue. This includes the echo flowers in the Recollé woods! NPCs seem to be incapable of seeing this color still, however, and will not note any differences. The color does not seem capable of being transferred to anything else, either, and any attempts to do so will simply fade the color of the thing you were trying to use to do that. Furthermore, one thread of at least 10 comments from you from this post may be supplied for one untriggered memory by linking the thread and in explanation putting "June Freebie". This may only be claimed through the rest of June, and may not be claimed after the month ends. Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently.

I've always wanted to learn how to start a fire in the woods. It might just be the perfect time for that.

[true_noir]

You know, until those flowers, I used to love those woods. Do please try not to destroy them if you do. There's a few nice parts.

[prometheanflame]

I can't say I have experience controlling fires in this world but I can look up basic campfire safety.

[true_noir]

Smokey says, "Only YOU can prevent forest fires."

Oh god, I'm sorry. As soon as you said that, I looked it up. I remember seeing one of those posters when I first arrived and laughing for an hour. It was so silly, yet cute.

[prometheanflame]

Only me.
So much responsibility for one man.

[true_noir]

Yes, I always thought it was a little silly too. But I'm sure if you are simply making a campfire you will be fine. One wonders if this is a red herring, though.

[frostythehitman]

I managed to figure out starting fires in the woods last month. If you need lessons, I'm willing to give some.

[prometheanflame]

It depends on what kind of fires you started.

[frostythehitman]

I didn't start a forest fire, if that's what you're asking.

[prometheanflame]

I would have noticed if you did.

[frostythehitman]

What's that supposed to mean? You think I couldn't start a forest fire? I could if I wanted to, you know.

[prometheanflame]

You're not the kind of boy that would hide his attempt to set a forest on fire. No, you would make sure it everyone can see how it burns. Half of the woods would be gone.

But since you displayed self-control, I trust you more.

[frostythehitman]

[ Wow okay, he's a MAN, not a boy. ]

Yeah well, that's me. Shining beacon of self-control.

[ The truth is, though, that he started that fire when they were all still tiny--it probably wouldn't have looked much bigger than a burning crumpled ball of paper, even though at the time it seemed massive. ]

[prometheanflame]

[Now he knows who to ask if they need a bonfire.]

I hope to see that self-control in action once Jim sends up our next challenge.

[frostythehitman]

Or what? You gonna grade me on it, Mr. TA?

[prometheanflame]

We don't have grades in this class.

Only respect points.

[frostythehitman]

And are respect points actually worth anything?

Or are they some pointless value system that doesn't hold any real meaning in the world?

[prometheanflame]

Isn't that what we are all figuring out as people?

[frostythehitman]

Well yeah.

But I meant more with your respect points. You're the one who created them, you're the one giving them out. You should be the one who knows what they actually mean.

[prometheanflame]

[He cares about his respect points. Mohammed is surprised that James has actually admitted that, though he the teen has surprised him before, why not one more time?]

The more I respect you, the more likely it is that I'll go out of my way to talk to you. [The more likely he can display his shitlord side.] It's not that I hate most people, but I'm not close to everyone I talk to, understand?

[frostythehitman]

That's how literally everyone works, that's not special.

[prometheanflame]

[wow Mohammed is hurt, he has admitted he is making something called a 'friend' and you treat him like this]

Alright, so maybe it isn't special to you, but it is important to me.

[frostythehitman]

[ well he's not good at this ]

I'm just saying. Most people don't like talking to people they don't like or respect.

[prometheanflame]

That's life, unfortunately.
