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.

Hunh. Wouldn't have thought of that. Might have to try it out.

I seem to be doing well, all things considered. Keeping drinking water every time I go for the nyquil, too. Don't need to slap dehydration on top of this.

It's the peppers, I think. It's good for almost anything if I'm to believe folk medicines.

That's good. I had been thinking of sending a care package at least. You know - tissues and rice porridge, so let me know if you're out of supplies like that, okay?

[Togusa briefly hesitates, but he has to think, for a second. Despite the two of them having been so critical to the others' investigations, he is pretty sure that they've never physically been in the same place at the same time. He only just met Eleanor recently, too.]

[So he sends his apartment address.]

If you want to come by, my door is definitely open. Getting to see anybody at all would be incredibly welcome. I finished up the last TV show somebody recommended, and now I've got nothing, you know?

That is, if you're okay with dogs.

[Keep it casual, but maybe he should finally meet one of his allies.]

[vendettastool]

Oh, sure! I mean, yeah, i know what's it's like when i run out of things to do and i am not allowed to leave the house. So, i can stop by. I'm okay with dogs though I sort of have cats myself.

Togusa lives in an apartment building right on the edge of Apprassage. He never quite moved all the way out of his stomping grounds around the University, but it's like he's also trying to stay as close to work as he can.

At least he knows what Yoon-sung looks like, thanks to the application, but he's still a little nervous about meeting him in person. So he takes the time to try to clean up the apartment, except for that one spot on the couch that still has a fluffy blanket bunched around it. When Yoon-sung arrives, Togusa opens the door, puts on a smile, and offers over a hand. "Hi. Pleasure to finally meet you." He's looking a little more energetic, but still pale enough that he should be sticking inside.

[vendettastool]

He was off the clock and not looking to go to a club, so the Yoon-sung that's at Togusa's door wasn't polished or dressed like some kind of fashion model. Loose lounge pants and an oversized sweater that kinda hung off his shoulders, messy hair and even a pair of reading glasses that he was just taking off as Togusa opened the door. He accepted his hand with an easy smile.

"That it is. I'm sorry that we haven't met sooner but been busy."

[standalonehuman]

"In a good way, though," Togusa nods. "Please, come on in, make yourself comfortable." The apartment is nothing special, he's kept the same place since he left the University, so it still feels like a starter home. There are a lot of pictures on the walls, some of Togusa, but there are also two art pieces, things that he has collected from his best friend, Koutarou.

The quiet is broken by the 'tek-tek' sound of nails on the hardwood floor. A tiny white miniature schnauzer trots from out of the kitchen to look up curiously at the new person. "Ah- Yoon-sung, meet Daisuke. Daisuke, Yoon-sung." Boof. Daisuke sits and his tail wags back and forth lazily.

[vendettastool]

"I guess since nothing has blown up yet." He nodded in response and stepped inside, toeing off his shoes without thinking about it. He might not be in Korea any more, but it was really hard to let go of a habit of a lifetime. Walking in and looking around, he doesn't seemed to view it with any sense of snobbery. He might have been born rich and use to living a certain way, but he didn't lord over people about it. Sure, there were some things he didn't get, but he would apologize if he made a wrong step.

He blinked at the dog and then laughed, crouching down and holding his hand out to him. "Hello Daisuke."

[standalonehuman]

Nobody's poisoned and nothing's on fire.

Yoon-sung's instinct was right, all of Togusa's shoes are right there by the door, too. Some habits from home are impossible to break.

Daisuke stands again to stretch out his nose and sniff insistently at Yoon-sung's hand. He presses his face into Yoon-sung, eventually, whatever he smells, he likes. Togusa can't help but chuckle. "He was a rescue pup. The workers think he's about 4? Maybe almost 5 now? But he's a good dog. He'll just sit on me to keep me in bed if he thinks I need more rest."

Togusa starts to lead the way inside, heading back to his nest on the couch.

[vendettastool]

Yoon-sung gave the dog a good scratch behind the ears before standing and following Togusa into the living room. Glancing around, he decided to take a chair and let Togusa stretch out if he needed to.

"Realy? Both of my cats are rescue, though the one is kinda left behind by a former member of our Retrospec haters club."

It had been Alice and David that wormed the cats into his life, and while David was still around in a way, Alice moving away after an uncle appeared also meant that she never got in touch about her cats after the move. So he had pets now even though he had never wanted them. Not because he didn't like pets, only because he never knew if he had to go home or not and didn't want them to suffer through all the loops to go home with him. He had to wonder now if he would ever get orders to return to Seoul. It almost seemed like it would be an excuse to turn him back into an NPC.

[standalonehuman]

That is actually quite appreciated, as Togusa sinks into the couch, propping himself up on a pillow. Togusa nods emphatically, he remembers. "Still no word out of Officer Amicia, on my end," he updates. "But Prompto has gotten used to having his dog."

"It's one of those ever-present reminders that we need to keep collaborating," Togusa points out. "Any of us could just suddenly not remember what we've been up to for the last few months." But probably nobody understands this better than Yoon-sung.

"I shouldn't have put in that many hours at once," hindsight, "but I did find something interesting. Hard to explain to anybody who wouldn't have your level of expertise, though."
