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.

Oh dear, I'm terribly sorry to hear that. I can't imagine what that would be like!

If I were describing it in a book, I'd have a lot of words, but the short version is that being in the head of someone dying is not fun and I would rather do anything else, including being stung by twenty bees or have to take all my final exams without studying.

I can certainly understand that. Death isn't an experience you're supposed to come back from. Being able to see it and be able to talk about it afterwards... well, it's not something most people would be able to understand, I don't think.

There are definitely other traumatic things, but people do talk about those sometimes. Support groups and therapy and stuff. I can't say to a normal person 'so I remembered dying and it's fucking me up'.

No, absolutely not. Even one of us - the ones who are aware of what's going on - may not be able to help you with something like that. It's a very specific sort of pain that can't be replicated.

Well, I'd imagine. I've never experienced anything like that. I'm doing my best to try to understand, though!
thesettingsun: smile (I'm a good guy)

[personal profile] thesettingsun 2017-06-14 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
I appreciate it, thanks. I'm not sure I know how to talk about it yet, either, it's just kind of a lot right now.

Anyway. Places that give me shitty hallucinomemories can be off my list of places to visit for the next ever.

[There's a long moment of pause before Jaeger responds to that message.]

Understandably so! Anyway, I've just remembered some work I need to get done, so I'll speak with you later!

[That sure was an unusually long pause and sudden exit from the conversation, not like that's suspicious or anything.]

Talk to you later. Good luck with work.
