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.

okay is the hobo eye gazing comment supposed to be facetious, or is there really a hobo out there that still has blue eyes? seeing as other than a select few, no one has blue eyes anymore.

unless he's calling one of you lot with the mystical blue eyes a hobo.

which is entirely likely considering this is jim.

[true_noir]

Not likely. Almost certain. This is Jim we're talking about, after all.

[thisloveisjustice]

hilarious how 'it's jim, after all' has pretty much become a byword among us users

[true_noir]

I hate them all, but I want to hear from Maurice, just for a change of pace. Familiarity breeds contempt after all, and too much contempt makes me a little ill to the stomach.

[thisloveisjustice]

Well, I think there's plenty of reason for us to hold Jim in contempt, familiarity or no.

But it would be nice to hear from someone else at the company. If only to gauge if they're all jerks like him.

[true_noir]

I am going to assume that they are, just by association. But, regardless I can't help but agree at this point. The variety would be good.

[vendettastool]

I am not going to stare into a hobo's eyes if they are blue unless it is a clue. I am really disliking this game.

[thisloveisjustice]

It's like, which parts of Jim's comments should we take seriously? I'm voting the fire one, if only because it can be a useful skill,
but I'm not going up to some stranger and staring into their eyes for no reason.

[sotenbori]

is hobo a politically correct term

[thisloveisjustice]

IDK, it kind of conjures of images of the guys who'd 'ride the rails' during the Great Depression. I tend to hear the terms 'vagrant' and 'transient' or just plain old 'homeless' more than 'hobo'. If someone's being rude they'd use 'bum' sooner than 'hobo' I think.

[sotenbori]

yeah maybe
i dunno i just don't want to insult our blue eyed savior here

[ he probably knows its yato tbh ]

[thisloveisjustice]

why, do you know someone with blue eyes?
i know of one, but i wouldn't describe him as a 'hobo'

[sotenbori]

right? that's why i asked because
i think jim's being a jerk on purpose

[goen]

[ Replying to this is admitting that he MIGHT BE A HOBO so it's a struggle

but he'll do it... he guesses... ]

I
GUESS
he could be talking about me.

It's not like he's man enough to talk to me directly though, so don't ask me what his beef is.

[thisloveisjustice]

[it's okay, Tatsuo isn't one to judge]

what's his beef with any of us at this point?

i wouldn't take it personally. sometimes it seems like jim's rude just for the sake of being rude.

[goen]

All the same, I wouldn't mind having a little date with him.
My bet's on him being a pudgy mouthbreather with a pube mustache, poor hygiene, and his own little quarantine corner in the lunchroom. I bet punching him in the face would only be doing him a favor!! Q(`⌒´Q)

[thisloveisjustice]

as someone affiliated with the police, just don't tell me before you do it, or i'll feel obligated to stop you

just saying

[b0mbshell]

I have no idea what he's talking about.

At this rate I'm just going to assume I need to become a hobo for my eyes to be blue.

I miss my blue eyes, but not that bad.

[thisloveisjustice]

I'd miss my eye color too if they changed it on me, and brown isn't even that exciting of an eye color. TBH you look a little weird with grey eyes.

I suppose I should go answer that stupid poll of Jim's. I didn't the first time it hit my inbox.

[b0mbshell]

I feel a little weird with them, too.

More than a little.

I mean, sure the rest of the world is having trouble with blue, but looking in the mirror every morning and knowing there's something wrong about you...

[thisloveisjustice]

I was about to suggest contacts, but then I realized, no, they'd still be gray and we'd be right back at square one.

Damnit Retrospec, stop making our lives so bizarre please.

[foretellable]

Maybe the hobo is Maurice! Jim doesn't seem to like him much so he could be just being extra mean to him because he can be.

[thisloveisjustice]

That is a definite possibility. He wasn't really nice to his coworker at all.

[foretellable]

He sure wasn't. Jim sounds like a big bully! I wish we can choose who we talk to since I'll take a hobo over Jim here.

[thisloveisjustice]

Well, someone started a poll over here.
It wouldn't hurt to comment.
