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.

[ ... ] yeah i got nothing enlightening to add, it's all pretty cryptic as usual :)
maybe just be more careful about those woods.

but anyway, starting a fire's not too awful if you practice
if someone wants some tips on that, guess i'd be willing to help. that is, if you actually want to go along with what this guy says, haha.

[doublesmall]

is it really that hard to start a fire, though

kind of figured you just light something up. where does the practice factor in, here

[vitis]

oh yeah!
maybe i was thinking if suddenly everyone was without lighters and gasoline and whatnot. [ thank you, recent game of hypos. ]
or do you think that's still easy... :(

maybe enlighten people not to burn the forest down?
with that one commercial.

[doublesmall]

enlighten, huh

but in all seriousness, yeah, I guess you've got a point

it's not like crazier shit hasn't happened, I'd buy that they'd take those from us if they can take color

[vitis]

haha that's a good one!

i'm trying not to inspire them with too many ideas, but they've probably got the whole spectrum covered.
what do you think about an even more accelerated ice age? seems like they have the means. [ better yet: please don't let him lead himself down an environmental tangent ]

[doublesmall]

the whole miniature adventure was hard enough on business, I really don't need a full city shutdown from ice.

[vitis]

aw, but didn't you think it was at least a little bit fun?

[ it's hard to tell joking from text ]

[doublesmall]

right up until the idea of beer pools got shut down, sure.

the novelty wore off pretty damn fast, honestly. it might've been better if it didn't last so long.

[vitis]

wow, did that happen?

and i dunno. still would've taken it longterm over every weird change we've had so far.

[doublesmall]

yeah apparently that can kill you, who knew

proof that there's no real good in the world if you ask me

seriously though, you'd take being tiny over just losing colors?

[vitis]

oh
sorry that your fun got spoiled like that. even if it might've been for best, i guess.

that's right.
even if it's arguably more dangerous, don't remembering hearing bout anyone dying
certainly would make resources a lot less scare for a bit

[mercurio]

oh you're the guy
you didn't die

[vitis]

all in working order, thanks
>:(

[godcards]

Are you offering tips on how to commit arson?

[vitis]

more like tips on how to start a well-regulated campfire

[ he's a good boy, ok ]

arson seems like it'd probably need a lot more gasoline.

[godcards]

Not in the woods. It can catch itself on fire!

[vitis]

if it's dry enough, sure.

[ :( ]

i might be reading this wrongly, but that exclamation point has me pinning you either as extremely concerned or actually a bit excited

[godcards]

I'll leave that interpretation up to your own discretion... Although given the nature of complaints lately with the lack of green, maybe it wouldn't matter so much if it burned down.

But for the record. No. I'm not an arsonist.

[vitis]

oops!
forgot that the only, sole purpose to forests was the fact that they look green.

good to hear, though!

[godcards]

Shut up. You know that's not what I meant.

Are you upset because I suggested arson?

[vitis]

[ ... ] no, not really.
i mean, yeah, you'd probably tick off a lotta people if you decided to burn something anyway, regardless of what it was.

[ see, he doesn't want to say he actually doesn't care, so long as it isn't the forest— ]

some places just seem a bit more pointless than others

[godcards]

I have no interest in burning your precious forest. There's no benefit.

I wouldn't know about the logistics of pyromaniacs and what they would consider pointless or useful. It all burns the same, I'm sure.

[vitis]

see, that's what i thought! no benefit whatsoever.
glad we can agree there.

something like that.
just how big and pretty the fire is by the end of the day, maybe.

[godcards]

Now you're sounding like an arsonist.

[vitis]

wow, trying to turn this one on me??
nahh, i'm joking! my bad. seriously, it's like you said-- no benefit!
