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 was trying to tell Yato we SHOULDN'T be setting Retrospec on fire.
please don't make my job harder.

Jim makes it so easy to want to, though

if I got arrested my mom would end up in jail too
for murdering me
I totally get the frustration though.
I don't like being teased like..... like a dog I guess.
they're dangling scraps in front of us after taking away everything else.
it's not right.

I know, anything I do would be essentially shutting down my career path towards the police force

I hate the idea that we're being used like that

that we're being used at all

I don't want anyone here to keep getting thrown into existential crises or panicking about the things they've lost or gained from Retrospec

life is hard enough as it is!

I hate it too.
we're supposed to try to continue living our lives like normal when they keep throwing surreal things at us.

we'll just have to be better.

much, much better

imagining it like a Rocky movie training montage is helping me get through the anger rn

we're taking little steps forward, training every day

no stone left unturned

Ehh???
(I'm waggling my eyebrows at you (˘･ᴗ･˘))

(￣～￣;)
(this is me unconvinced)
you're my friend Yato so I'm going to say this as nicely as possible
please don't burn anything down. it's dangerous and I don't want you to get arrested
you don't want all your savings to go into paying your bail right?

[ ... He's willing to bet he wouldn't need to worry about bail anyway. ]

I'm not gonna do anything okay?? So don't get your trousers in a pinch.
But if Retrospec cares so much about democracy, they should understand why a little fire might start up around their HQ.
Just saying!!

my trousers are fine. I just don't want my friends in trouble...

but I can say for certain
if a fire starts in the vicinity of their building, they specifically asked for it.
I'm not condoning this!
it's just a fact.

That's the ticket.
There might be hope for you yet, Sorey.

I really wish they hadn't said that.

I don't condone violence.
but what do I do if THEY'RE condoning violence?!
this is rough

I'm assuming they're going to do something that requires us to have fire to not be massively inconvenienced, I assume.

Shut off the lights maybe?

They did say 'won't see you some of you' before. Like it might be dark.

I can definitely see that happening. we've had blackouts before...
or maybe
oh no. they wouldn't
you don't think they'd actually kidnap people do you?

That sounds like an uphill battle, all things considered. Especially since I doubt Jim cares. Still...I don't like what kind of surprise means us needing to know how to start a fire.

I did pass by the flower shop and what he says checks out. Looks like flower petals have their color back, but not the stems and leaves. Although, the people working there seemed confused when I mentioned how much I liked the blue coloring.

I don't like the sound of this either. we'd better stock up on blankets and water and things like that just in case. it might be another blackout.
remember the one that happened a couple months ago? man that really sucked. at least school's out now.

the flowers are back but not the leaves? that's so weird.

I'm gonna bring some home

Yeah. Let's spread it out over our paychecks.
Of course I remember. I had to retype two paragraphs of my essay because of that.

It's really weird looking at them and not seeing green, to be frank.

Wait, what? Really? Why?

sounds good to me.
I had to teach. that sure was a thing.

um... I was actually thinking you could put them in your hair.
unless you don't want to. but I can help you so it's easier!

he's practically begging for it though

that doesn't mean we should do it. there's all sorts of reasons why it's a bad idea.
if he really wants us to do something, shouldn't we avoid doing it? it could be a trap.

seems like we always end up doing what he wants us to anyway

besides he didn’t say anything about why we should learn how to start a fire or what he wants us to do with it, just that we should

Yeah, setting it on fire would likely do nothing to make our case or make them stop or turn things back to how they were.

exactly!
I'm not sure if there's even anyone in there... we'd probably just be burning up whatever we could find out about these guys.

Probably. And we’re sorely lacking on information at the moment.
