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.

sounds more fun than you.

he just a car fan or does he actually do something with them?

You may think so. "Fun" is relative, after all.

Professionally, he works for the police department. But an understanding of how cars work just comes to him innately. He could take apart either of my cars and put them back together with no effort; and they would both run as good as new.

To say he has a fondness for vehicles is an understatement.

[damn. almost a match made in heaven.]

sounds like a cool guy.

but if he works with the law i'm not sure he'd appreciate my cars.

Talk to him anyway, if you're so inclined. You can talk shop in a very generalized sense.

[Honestly, as long as this man isn't mowing down people with his cars, Ardyn really does wonder how much Fynn will.... care, at times. But he won't put words in his mouth for him, so! He leaves it at that.]

yeah yeah fine. i'll keep an eye out.

weird talking to you when you're not being an ass.

[that's a thanks... in its own way. he's trying.]

According to many, I'm an ass 80 percent of the time. You've caught me on the 20.

[He has too glib of an (outward) personality to really be offended.]

Bullshit. Even his twenty percent is like fifty.

[Sup, bruh? Missed me?]

[He sees you everyday??? So no.]

Your very biased opinion doesn't count.

I've found you a fellow connoisseur of cars. Speak to him. Or don't. Up to you, honestly.

[Seeing and conversing is two different things. Fynn been busy at the job mostly and just crashing on the sofa lately.]

Like hell my opinion doesn't count! Pffft!

Oh? Well, I'm game for a chat about my favorite subject. Cars are easier to talk about than women.

Again, you're family. Not to mention my younger brother. Therefore, biased.

Talk away, then. You know I'm relatively useless conversing with you about the former subject.

Whatever! Fine, fine.

Eh? Waitttt a minute, Ardyn. Are you confessing to know more about women than cars?

I call bull on that too.

[IS THIS A CONVERSATION YOU WANT TO HAVE ON THE NETWORK, FYNN]

And your doubts are based on /what/, exactly?

[OH SHI--! Hold up! He gotta think about this for a min. He still lives at Ardyn's house, so he gotta play nice.]

Oh good heavens, look at the time! I got shit to do.

Talk to your later, bro.

[Wise choice, Fynn.]

Then I'd hate to keep you.

See you later, Fynn.

Hi, there! The name's Fynn Izunia not to be confused with "Ardie" over there.

Whatever we discuss is on a confidentiality agreement that falls on the lines of "I'm no snitch". So you're fine by me.

Now, what's this about a Shelby 2013 GT500? Six hundred and sixty-two horsepower speed demon with a 5.8 L V8 engine, right? That's the base specs. How freaked out is your ride, man? I bet you already tossed the factory engine out for something better.

now that's what i like to hear.

don't need much for the '13. pushed the hp to 710 and fixed the tires for more traction. better grip doing turns at full speed now. production tires can't take the jump.

could have fixed the acceleration too but that's what i got the tesla for.

Nice, nice. Sounds like something I've would've done. Getting grip and traction is key for a GT500. Read instensively about them.

You have a 2011 Tesla Roadster too? Damn!
I can just imagine the acceleration on that baby. The inital horsepower is straight trash though but that be remedied from a mere 221 to 259.

But that's not the big deal. The big deal is Tesla's new 100kWh battery which will make that demon go from 0-60MPH in 2.9 seconds, down from the original 3.2 seconds.

[holy shit u nerds]

[SHUT UP!]

almost.

2017 tesla model s p100d. 0-60 in 2.5. same engine just a different mode. gotta go into the settings and everything. wears on the motor but it's worth it.

also hilarious watching hotshots get ticked off about their muscle cars getting beaten by a sedan.

WHAT?! You have the 2017 model s P100d!? Who are you, man? Who are you really? lol

Yo, I love smoking hotshots with my baby Michiyo. Ain't no one beating a Nissan GT-R easily! Gotta sacrifice some goats and shit to beat my car. So imagine trying to race a Tesla.

I'm sure you have enemies.

Edited 2017-06-14 17:51 (UTC)

had enemies. beat them and got their cars. got a nice modded 1971 corvette now.

you got a gtr too? asshole up there ruined the paint job on mine. used to be blue chrome.
looked sick.

You're a real street racer then!
The genuine artifact. I don't race too often, profession aside, but I love working on cars. I'm always messing with my brother's car along with my own.

It's a side hobby of mine I've been making more into a hustle. I'm damn good with what I do.

Wait, huh? Which asshole? Hopefully not Ardyn.

your bro's an ass but no. talking about john. jim. whatever.

and i'm a stunt driver. street race for fun and practice. let punks know who the best really is around here. side hobby.

you wanna mess with my cayman gt4? i've been meaning to get the thing fixed up.

John? I can't say I know anyone by that name. Had they messed with my car,
I think I would lose my got damn mind.

A stunt driver?! Like a Hollywood stunt driver? Holy hell! I gotta see you in action someday. That's too cool!

Would I? HELL YES!! YOU BET I WOULD! When are you free?
