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.

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.

That's where you draw the line when it comes to what they won't do in order to fuck around with us? Really?

Look, you're right that I'm starting to grow frustrated by Retrospec, but I feel you need to calm down for a second.

Stressing about it won't help you think clearly of this situation.

[Although, in reality, he is also stressed out by Jim's last message, fearing the worst case scenario regarding this information.]

I'm going to ask you to not treat me like a child. I am not stressed nor do I personally believe that I need to calm down over anything.

It's just irritating to me that you think my idea is apparently too preposterous to believe. Especially when we've already been shrunk and had witness colours themselves be erased from history and seemingly reality. Not to mention Chocobos have replaced horses, certain types of fruits now do a dance whenever a pop song comes up, and etc etc.

Ainsley...

[Now he is completely worried. He knows that she easily succumbs to her migraines, but he also knows she's not the type to grow more frustrated.]

What just happened to you?

Nothing and everything at the same time.

Am I not allowed to show my negative feelings for something that's been building up for months now?

I'm sorry. But you have a point there.

We do need to vent out our frustrations every now and then.

[ alright… she starts calming down. not a lot but better than nothing. ]

I don't know how to describe it but I feel so hopeless and irritated right now. It feels like we're stuck in a loop and we're aware of it and there's nothing we can do. It's maddening, don't you think?

I agree. Which is why I need to be more active regarding this changing problem.

Thank goodness that I don't have lectures for the rest of the summer break. This might be a good time for me to investigate more about Retrospec.

More investigating? What are you planning to do now?

I managed to gather some more information and clues from other users and I might try cross-reference them to learn more about these changes and these packages.

Have you now? You're quite dedicated in trying to learn the methods of Retrospec's madness.

What have you learned from the others so far? All I found out is that others are also getting weapons being delivered to them. [ at least their items weren't covered in blood. that's a silver lining, sad as that is. ]

I wouldn't say dedicated. I'm just doing everything I can to know more about the app so everyone should be prepared. Of course, I'm also trying to attempt on finding out more about the company's motives regarding the app they made.

[And everything he did was all started by that secrets incident.]

And I feel it's more than the weapons, Ainsley. Some of them also posted about receiving clothes and costumes they never saw before.

I feel like you just described what 'dedication' is when in practice, silly.

[ -she's heard about the clothes and items, she's seen the posts about it when she went through the site now and then but didn't have time to comment. ] The weapons are a bit more disturbing to me since this is somehow being sent to us without interference from any authorities. Outside of the ones who own Retrospec, I mean.

Are you implying there's something more to those packages?

[Well, 5 points for Ainsley on proving Augustine that he's very focused on the Retrospec investigation.]

Somehow. Judging by my recent package, it seems they want us to be reminded like our other selves in our respective visions so far.

[ and just like that.

her usual cheer is gone. ]

How unfortunate for them then. I have no interest in learning about the other me. That me can stay dead or missing or living in another world for all I care.

I'm sure others here feel the same. We're not them. [ and i'm not her. i'm not. ]

Ainsley...

[And there she goes. Maybe he shouldn't have mentioned this theory when she's around.]

Just... Don't take this the wrong way. It's just a theory after all. Don't take it too seriously.

[ there she does agaaaaain. ]

I know. I'm sorry for that outburst. That wasn't fair to you at all.

It's just irritating to think this could be a reason why they're doing this to all of us. Would rather take the 'bored billionaire's social experiment' than that theory, to be honest.

I just wish I knew.

I should hold that theory for now. We still lacking some clues regarding Retrospec and their motives.

Probably for the best. I would hate to almost bite your head off again. Not the most pleasant of ways to have a conversation.

Right.

For now, you should take a good rest for now. It's summer break and it's a good time for you to take a break from your classes.

I'm still responding to some people but I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you for looking out for me. Try to follow your own advice, okay? This has been a heck of an announcement for us.

Alright. At least there's good news in all of this.

And of course, I'm your friend after all. Just contact me if you have any problems, okay?

I will. Take care now, okay? Don't be a stranger!
