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.

It's hardly a conclusive theory yet. But my current theory is that they're memories of ourselves from a parallel universe.

[he's surprised she wants to keep this a secret, but he's not going to ask why because hes pretty #blessed she's willing to share at all.]

you aren't the only one who thinks that. my buddy tatsuo feels the same way

Really? I'll contact him soon, then.

Do you have a take on it?

And in some ways, makes more sense than anything else I can think of. Certainly more than past lives or sheer hallucinations.
Though it doesn't explain Retrospec's powers over us.

For people who believe in reincarnation, the past lives thing doesn't seem that weird

I ain't gonna tell anyone how they feel about it is wrong, you know? That's not my place. And maybe, for people like you and Tatsuo the parallel universe thing is totally legit.
But I know, when I get those memories they just seem
Like nothing else could be that real

I'm not suggesting they're not, you know. A parallel universe is just as real as ou

I used to study them.

In the other life, I mean, the other me, she used to study them. She used to be brilliant at them, she had proof they existed. I don't know how, I don't know what the proof was, but she'd proven it, she had some way to prove it!
sotenbori: (letdowns will get you)

[personal profile] sotenbori 2017-06-16 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
If she proved it you can too

You're damn right I can but think about what this means. If she had proof-- solid proof, I mean, genuine evidence to support that theory-- it would mean that it holds true in this universe as well. It would mean that I might actually be on to something.

so then this app's figured out a way to help us see what happened in those parallel worlds?

how come we don't get all kinds of weird shit
like maybe in another universe i fought zombies
or was the king of england
originallutece: (talk; hmm--?)

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-06-21 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps they're specific universes. And not all of those things are realistic. Parallel universes go off the basis that for every decision that one makes, there's a universe where the other decision occurs. While this can obviously have drastic changes, there's little chance there's any world in which, say, zombies exist.
sotenbori: (come on come on)

[personal profile] sotenbori 2017-06-22 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
ok, science
but consider:
zombies would be cool

and maybe someones bad decision made zombies happen

There's no sequence in the world that can reanimate the dead, Majima.

If you can prove that in a logical manner, I'll concede the point to you.
