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.

Why do I get the feeling we're going to lose more colors soon? And more than...

[frisyr]

Do you think they'll let us do a trade?

Bring back blue, give them brown!

[burningblossoms]

What about people with brown hair and eyes? I like my eyes.

I hope they don't take red next.

[frisyr]

We can trade off every week. And I've already done my time!

What else can we trade? Orange? I don't really like orange!

[burningblossoms]

Orange. Yeah, I can live without orange.

[frisyr]

Let's get it added to the poll! Trade Orange for Blue!

[burningblossoms]

Agreed.

Hopefully Jim actually reads this and isn't going completely crazy.

[wordcarvings]

I'd rather not trade any colors, and instead have them all back.

[frisyr]

Ok but if that's not feasible then I think I'd trade blue for a lot of other colors!

[wordcarvings]

For the sake of the sky maybe but I’d just as much like to have green back. But any color being missing is troubling.

[frisyr]

Troubling yeah, but I'd think of all the annoyances we could have, let's hope for them to at least give us something while we work towards bringing the other thing back! Who knows what they'll take away in another month, or another week!

[wordcarvings]

Colors is a priority. I really don’t want to lose any more. But if it’ll help in getting more of both blue and green back I’ll hope they send me a lot of surveys.

Usually they don’t take things on a weekly basis, at least.

[caelestialis]

I really, really, really hope they don't do that. That'll actually cause some (a lot?) of us to scream in frustration. [ ainsley included.

leave the colours alone, retrospec. you're slapping science in the face as is. ]

[burningblossoms]

I know! I'd murder someone if they take Red or Black. What would I wear then?

[caelestialis]

Maybe very dark grey? If you layer enough it could give the illusion of black?

But an actual revolt may occur if red is taken. All of these shenanigans is preposterous as is.

[burningblossoms]

Yep.

I'll set their building on fire for sure.

[caelestialis]

I promise to try and be a good alibi for you should that ever happen. I can fake book club meetings and everything.

[burningblossoms]

Hopefully I won't need it, but thank you.

It'd be a heck of a week though, if it did happen.

What gives you that impression? Something I've noticed: They've never quite done the same thing twice. We haven't lost any more animals than horses, for instance.

[burningblossoms]

We lost two colors before, why not more.  It's not that I'm saying it's a sure thing but it's a possibility.  This whole message reads like a bizarre social experiment, take things away and see what we want back most.

[And she really isn't going to argue with you on this one, when she'd been half joking.  Though she does half expect you to latch on, Naoto.]

There's no rhyme or reason to it, seemingly.  So simply: Why not assume we may lose more color, in addition to other things, as I said.

[truedetective]

To be frank, because I think they like being unpredictable.
They want to see how we react to different things.
Removing color is already something they've done.

[burningblossoms]

Maybe.  We'll see.
You do also realize I was half joking, right?

Anyway, isn't it also odd how none of the more permanent shifts have been particularly dangerous? 

[truedetective]

Really?
I'm not very good at that nuance over text.

I don't imagine they want to kill us. It would defeat the purpose of an experiment.

[burningblossoms]

[You're not very good at humor in person either.]

Really.

I didn't say lethal, I just said dangerous.
