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.

I've started wearing colored contacts, at least.
A lot of people give me weird looks, but at least no one tries to "help the poor blind girl" anymore.

[She'll even include a quick selfie to show off her new light lavender eyes, probably the closest she'll get to blue for now.]

[true_noir]

Reasonable approach. But, really? Blind girl? That would have to get almost insanely annoying after a while.

Those are pretty, by the way.

My eyes were really light blue, so now they look almost white without their color.
When the second person in an hour asked me if I needed any help, I knew it was time to change colors.
And thank you. It's taking a bit of getting used to, but I'm starting to like them.

I could never deal with having something actually on my eyes like that. It would weird me out too much. But not being asked a question like that would definitely be an advantage.

How have you been otherwise? Hopefully the drab sky isn't too depressing.

[heiroglyphs]

Oh it definitely sucked putting them in, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Now I can't even feel them.
Don't look forward to taking them out at night though.

Otherwise I've been okay. Trying to keep busy now that school is out.
Especially since I want to distract myself from all this grey.
I've been in the studio a lot this past month. Drown myself in music until the whole world disappears.

I've been at work, or studying some side projects, when I'm not training. It keeps my mind busy, and helps me cope with some of what happened last month. It feels good to be doing something, anything. Feels like it isn't for nothing.

College next semester will have me very busy.

[heiroglyphs]

I can agree with that. I really need to start training too.
Dante's asked that I start giving swordplay lessons, so I need to shake off the rust.
Idk why he'd ask me, since fencing is kind of its own thing and seriously who would want me as a teacher?

[true_noir]

Oh, on Sunday? I think people would be grateful for any training. Some of us have picked up strange skills after all, and don't know what to do with them.

He has me available for knife training but I would not mind practicing on Sunday if you find a free moment. Knives weren't the only things the girl I see used.
