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.

[wowowow where is all this coming from.

Also, the irony of Dante coming up to him about recklessness... Instead of an actual answer, Dante just gets synonyms.]

Being rash or careless.

[darkinferno]

i don't think that's what you said last month

something about acting with disregard to the consequences of your actions...

so you should know my thoughts on it

[Don't kill yourself, Ardyn. You can't heal everything, and it's reckless to think you can. Don't charge in giving all of yourself away again.]

[daemonized]

[Is this what it feels like to have one's words thrown back at them?]

I do. But have a bit of trust, hm? I've a reasonable mind, and I know when I've reached my limits.

[But Dante, that's just the kind of man he is. If he has the ability to help, it feels silly and selfish to stand by idly because he's too busy worrying about himself.]

[darkinferno]

oh i trust you all right

i trust you to try and pretend like you're perfectly fine until you're on the floor and we're having to drag your ass back home

[daemonized]

Then I've people to rely on who won't leave me bleeding in the street. Good to know.

[A bit of misplaced morbid humor, only because Ardyn doesn't know how to argue the point back.]

[darkinferno]

no way, you do that and i'm leaving your ass there in the middle of the street

[No, he wouldn't. No chance in hell. But if Ardyn's going to make jokes about it, he's not letting him get away with it!]

[daemonized]

How unkind of you. I shall die in a most dramatic fashion, then, crying foul at the cruelty of destiny. Wondering, until I draw my last breath, why my loyal student had betrayed me and left me to die in the street.

[As long as he can twist this serious subject into something less so... that's fine by him.]

[darkinferno]

[prof... why.....]

remind me why i talk to you again

[daemonized]

You're the one who keeps responding.

[listen...it worked ok....]

[darkinferno]

yeah well if you think that's gonna get me to forget what we were talking about you've got another thing coming

[He'd really like to respond with "well maybe i should stop" and just ollie out of this entire conversation, but then Ardyn might think that he's conceding the point.

And like hell is he conceding this battle.]

[daemonized]

[Then they're just going to have to both be stubborn fools, it seems.]

What do you want me to say, Dante? That I'll be careful? I've reiterated that time and time again, haven't I?

[darkinferno]

[He's got a point. And maybe his own point has been made well enough that he can relent a little bit?]

yeah but i'm pretty sure your idea of being careful will go right out the window if something actually happens

so maybe if enough people yell at you about it you'll actually take that into consideration when it does

[daemonized]

[It's probably true, however. A cry for help and Ardyn will offer that help, as is his tendency to do so.

However, maybe with enough people screaming into his ear to step back and think about it first, he won't be so quick to jump in.]

A more stubborn man would say that you're doing nothing more than screaming into the void.

But at least take consolation in the fact that your concern is duly noted. I'll not do anything that'll make those I care about worry about me, or further frustrate them.

[darkinferno]

wouldn't be the first time

don't strain yourself, not frustrating people around you might be too hard a promise to make

but i'll take it
