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.

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.

So they can fix.... whatever they did.
It's good to know.

In the meantime, I think I might invest in a fire bucket.

You and me both.

I don't like where this is headed.

There's so many 'Danger, Will Robinson!' signs it's hard not to be concerned.

I only hope we're not jumping at shadows by then.

I know, right? It's absurd.

I mean, at the same time is he saying that we're going to need fire to survive or something?

[ PLEASE DON'T BE ZOMBIES ]

I mean, it is a good life skill to have but.... I still can't figure out what QR codes have to do with it if that's the case.

[But...but...brainz.]

Me either. I mean, should we be learning how they work? Making sure our phones have a QR reader? I don't get it.

[ This is the Last Thing any of them need t b q h]

No harm in investing in a little bit of everything. For something like this, I'm willing to be overprepared for anything than skipping a particular route for another.

[It's true...]

Agreed. I guess we should start being like people on that show, Preppers.

Only maybe that not extreme.

[ Let's just hope it's something small like ... the power goes out! ]

Ha, maybe we'll just stick to using them as an Worse Case Scenario example.

[ Because with the power of belief, clearly everything will go better than expected. Right? .....Right??? ]

Hopefully there won't be one.

I'm really not looking forward to living out Life After The Bomb 3.

[Fallout 3 doesn't have an expy yet, right?]

[ Not yet! ] I don't think any of us are ready for that.

But. If there's one thing I'm sure of is if we pool our resources, whatever Jim's up to won't stand a chance.

Oh definitely. No way we'll lose.

OH. and I don't think we've met. Davey, according to the app?

That's the spirit.

.... -Oh! [ whoops ] Yes, that's me. Yukiko, is that right?

Bet you wish you didn't ban me from the kitchen now, don't you?

The last thing we need is you setting fires on purpose.

Edited (tfw you spot it days later ) 2017-06-18 19:25 (UTC)

I take it that means we’re never going camping?

Do you really want to willingly camp in these woods?

I’m not scared of a bunch of flowers.

I think I'm more worried about weird hobo's that shouldn't be there jumping out from bushes honestly.

What, you don't want to gaze deeply into their eyes...?

[ No, only- ]

Do you want to gaze that deeply into some stranger's eyes?

Depends on the stranger.
See, there was this one girl last month when we were little, right? We talked here on the network before, and oh, Dave, you could stare into those eyes for hours.

[ Oh. ]

I'm sure her eyes are much nicer than a forest man.

Oh, for sure. And they were brown, if I remember right, so none of this gray stuff going on.

And she had this sarcastic streak a mile wide, you'd love her.

[ wait. ]

...You gotten any of those flashes, though? 'Cause I'm pretty sure she was in one of mine.

Edited 2017-06-20 21:09 (UTC)

I'm sure I would.

[ Ha. ]

I- no? The same girl?
