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".

Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given.

and what good does going and making yourself bedridden do?

i can't stop you, if it's what you honestly want, but i beg you to reconsider. prompto saying something puts you under no obligation, and this isn't like togusa doesn't need the excuse to rest.

[why can't a visit be just a visit? if she sees him with a head cold in this specific timing...]

besides, you don't even know if it can handle illness.

[daemonized]

[The lawyer in him wants to argue every single point. That Prompto had nothing to do with him feeling obligated, that Togusa would likely prefer to be up and running if given the choice, and that they wouldn't know if he could cure illness unless he tried.

But.

Perhaps that's not the best route to take. She had made a concession for him, once. Thus his words are completely different than what goes through his head.]

I understand all of your points. But you know it's hard for me to not want to at least try.

[erythristic]

i do know. but you were giving me the good sense to not push my limits unnecessarily. you might want to do the same for now, if you haven't already sworn to him you'd make the attempt.

[daemonized]

He doesn't even know. Though he's clever enough to put two and two together; I had told about my memories of healing once before.

[A moment before the next text.]

When you were dealing with your own talents, you were kind enough to stop on account of my worrying. It's only fair that I do the same in this instance.

[In this. Instance.]

There may be talk of magic, but none will transpire today. Does that please you?

[erythristic]

yes. thank you.

[a pause then.]

i don't mean to have a harsh reaction. i simply want to advise caution.

[wait, one more.]

if you'd like to try this out in the future, see if you can set aside a day or two in the future so that if it does end with you suffering the full effects, you'll at least have time to recover.

Come now, I can handle a bit of harshness time and again.

[He had to survive law school. He can handle much, much worse than that.]

And that requires a bit of coincidental timing, doesn't it? That someone should just happen to be sick when I've the time to take off for it.

[Ah, but he's just being difficult by arguing the point.]

But, perhaps we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

[daemonized]

If /you/ get sick, however, you'll not be talking me out of healing you. That is the one exemption to whatever rules we decide upon.

[erythristic]

then i must be careful to not get sick.

or if i do, then i'll prepare to see you back to health.

[daemonized]

Come now, I'd not have you waste your time on that. I've been sick before, and I can take care of myself if it does happen again.

[erythristic]

as much as i won't be able to talk you out of healing me, you won't be able to talk me out of seeing to your health. it's not a waste of time to ensure someone i care for is well.

[daemonized]

[What a stubborn pair.]

Are you sure? Some people are insufferable to be around when they're sick. How do you know I'm not one of those?

[erythristic]

even if you're willfully insufferable, i'm sure i can manage. my decision is final.

[daemonized]

Very well. If you're committed to such a challenge, I'll not talk you out of it. I hope you know what you're in for.

[Spoiler: Ardyn mostly just sleeps when he's sick. It's ironic, really.

But he's not gonna tell her that.]
