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.

it doesn't solve the very important scientific mystery of why jim is such a giant jerk though

[accordance]

I do not think that is a mystery that can be solved by science at this point. It is akin to asking the reason why water is composed of two elements.

[He's 100% laughing in public because of this.]

so i guess there's probably no cure for it either then?

[accordance]

[ Old people salt, man. ]

Probably not, no. One would find better use of their time on more productive things.

[sharplydressed]

[Sometimes the elderly just got a few salt cubes to shake out of their sleeves, it's fine.]

right right
too bad about jim but i guess there are always going to be lost causes

[accordance]

That is correct.

I am somewhat interested in what tricks he would think 'cool' enough to spring on us, if only because I am in dire need of data.

[sharplydressed]

they're probably dangerous tbh
i bet he was the one who thought it'd be a good idea to shrink everyone and make us fight ants

[accordance]

Did you fight ants?

[sharplydressed]

yes
and mantises and grasshoppers
and almost a dog but that definitely would have killed me (;´Д`)

[accordance]

Oh goodness.

Were you injured?

[sharplydressed]

no but it was mostly good luck that i wasn't

[And Yamato.]

[accordance]

Indeed.

I had tried to investigate some of the shrinking, but I did not have access to most of my equipment. It remains to be seen if this is a Matrix style explanation, or that our senses were deceived.

[sharplydressed]

what
so you think it's possible that we just thought we were tiny??

[accordance]

At this juncture, yes.

It is only a theory right now, but the theory does have some supporting pseudo-evidence.

[sharplydressed]

can i ask what that pseudo-evidence is?
because that somehow sounds even more insane than actually shrinking

[accordance]

A few months ago, there were files found signed with the Retrospec company staff's names. They detailed people's lives, with the note 'we must rewrite this'. Or something of the sort.

[sharplydressed]

[Those are some dang heavy implications and he is Not Happy About It...]

just when you think they can't get any worse or weirder huh

[accordance]

Yes.

I have not said anything, for my theory can destabilize quite a few people. But this seems most likely for now.

[sharplydressed]

it's good to be prepared for anything i guess
thanks for sharing btw
i'll try not to let it destabilize me

[He's joking, even if tone doesn't carry over text...]

[accordance]

I worry for its effects. If it is true... it has implications.

I am not sure if the population here will be willing to work through it as of yet.

[sharplydressed]

right now?
i think you're probably right
everyone's having a hard enough time just dealing with everything going all weird

[accordance]

I will bide my time until I can find a solution to accompany it.

[sharplydressed]

this is where i say i'm keeping my fingers crossed for you
