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.

dude, i don't think we should take this as an invite to practice burning the city down, bucket or not

ps: blankets > buckets

[starfruitfrog]

No one's telling you to burn the city down. But if anyone feels like setting small, controllable fires just to make sure they can, I don't see anything wrong with that.

And blankets are a good choice too. You could even put a blanket in your bucket of water.

[explodosafe]

You say that. I say we should take it as an excuse to BBQ more. you can start by inviting me to some awesomely grilled steak.

That'd be pretty heavy to handle though. Unless you plan to bucket-toss your blanket.

[starfruitfrog]

Steak is too expensive and I don't even know how to cook that.

[Unless what he was after was steak that was charred on the outside and cold on the inside.]

Put a nice, light blanket in there. Or a towel or something.

[explodosafe]

Stingy! Aren't you supposed to be a responsible adult who looks out for his youngers?

[They could try and make it together. Although the result would probably be half edible well-done strips of meat and a practical experience in putting out fires that got out of control.]

It'd still get soaked with water.

[starfruitfrog]

A responsible adult would tell you if they couldn't afford something. That's true responsibility.

And even if it gets soaked, it's still light. Throwing a dry blanket over a fire would just be adding more fuel.

[explodosafe]

Huh. That's surprisingly sensibly coming from you.

Nah, it's to cut off the air supply, I don't think it needs to be wet for that. ...of course you're not supposed to toss stuff that burns easily!

[Guess who just remembered that synthetic fabrics exist and that that shit burns like whoa.]

[starfruitfrog]

That's rude.

Why can't you just combine the two then? If it has both, it'll obviously be even safer.

[explodosafe]

I'm just calling it as I see it.

Iiiii'm not sure that's how safety works, dude.

[starfruitfrog]

It's still rude.

Of course it is. It's like how if you're wearing a seat belt and your car has airbags then you're two times as safe. And if you're wearing a helmet and full body armor then you're even safer than that.

[explodosafe]

Unless you go diving without an oxygen tank while you wear it.

[He is being contrary for the sake of being contrary at this point. Cutter is pretty sure that Sato isn't what he's call an respectable adult, but he possesses just enough wisdom and maturity that Cutter cannot decide that he isn't to be respected in some way either. It makes interacting with him both fascinating and frustratingly confusing.]

[starfruitfrog]

Not bringing an oxygen tank is already unsafe on its own so obviously it would negate the safety powers of your seatbelt and airbags.

[explodosafe]

Seatbelt and aribags.



While diving.

[starfruitfrog]

If this was diving, they wouldn't even need a helmet in the first place

But an airbag would be useful because it would inflate and take them back to the surface when they need it. And maybe the seat belt will buckle them down into whatever device they're using to secure the airbags.

[explodosafe]

Returning to the surface too fast is actually a good way to kill yourself while diving. It's got to do with pressure and your lungs collapsing or too much expanding oxygen exploding your brain.

[starfruitfrog]

I guess that depends on how many minutes it takes for them to deploy, right? If you're lucky you might not have even gotten that far before it deploys. Maybe you'll be floating on the surface.

[explodosafe]

So it's death by whiplash instead....

you're really scary...

[starfruitfrog]

Why do you always think of the worst possible scenario?

[explodosafe]

Cause I'm not unbreakable and somebody needs to think of those things to prevent somebody else who doesn't from getting themselves killed by their great ideas.

[starfruitfrog]

I would never do any of those dangerous things. And I was thinking of a nice, gentle, slow rise to the top.

[explodosafe]

Yeah, corpses float unless you weight them down.

[starfruitfrog]

Why do you even know something like that?

[explodosafe]

Family secret ;P

[starfruitfrog]

You come from a family of undertakers?

[explodosafe]

Not exactly, but you know how it is: you're specialized in one part but ya can bet that you'll end up playing all variations of the field sooner or later. It just comes with the business.
