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.

I'm going to be honest, until we actually hear from Maurice, I'm going to assume he's fake.

You shouldn't make up people to blame your problems on.

He does seem a bit conveniently-placed, doesn't he.

I have to hand it to him, it takes some amount of courage to blatantly shift the blame to people who may or may not even exist in the first place.

...Well, it's certainly fortitude of some sort, I'll give it that.

[Courage? Probably not. Balls with their own gravitational pull? Possibly.]

[It's the same thing to Zaveid, really.]

I'm sure they'll do something even more outrageous for next time.

Maybe now that they've shown us they can take colors away at will, they'll start attaching wings to pigs or decide parrots would be adorable with four legs.

I'm still never certain whether this sort of speculation will give them ideas or deter them from trying whatever we mention.

If they want to make parrots into abominations more terrifying than anything special effects can do, more power to 'em, I say.

why did they break it in the first place?
I just don't get why they took it away and now they're giving it back.
are they gonna take it away again?

I'd say maybe it wasn't intentional, but you know, I'm pretty sure it was.

Maybe they thought it'd be funny to watch all of us freak out over suddenly losing colors.

It doesn't even make sense, because purple is still around!

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but until we hear from anyone else we have to assume it's Jim behind all of it.

science started breaking months ago and it hasn't been fixed since

I guess the question is if he's doing it alone, or if he's the man behind the curtain.

Only in this case instead of cowering in a corner like the Wizard he's waving a flag going, "mwahaha, it was me, I did it!"

makes it all the more suspicious, to be honest...
but he could be delusional too. we just don't know

He's probably going to keep doing it, you know. Since we don't have a way to prove that Maurice ISN'T real, he can just keep making up people as he sees fit!
