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.

ok putting aside the actual fear that they might have the ability to change even the weather?
it would be rude as hell for them to bring back winter after taking away winter colors

[Existential Dread and Terror: coming to a runway this June.]

i have to say it's pretty refreshing knowing you've got solid priorities like you do

might as well right?
especially because everyone else is already worrying about the big things
like retrospec's creepy ability to change the way our eyes and/or the sky works

ok fair point
and i guess it would suck if you had to redo the whole collection
since you're probably getting ready to show it and all

i had one in the works but it's kind of taking a back seat
especially since i lost all that time when retrospec decided everyone needed to get super up close and personal with bugs and birds and cracks in the sidewalk ┐(-∧-)┌

i'd offer to help you get back up to speed but we both know that's a bad idea

call me when you're ready to show and i'll help you load up and unload though!

[Ah, truly a kind soul, offering to be a Carrying Things assistant to someone like Kiyomitsu...]

i'd super appreciate it
maybe i'll borrow you for hand modeling someday too if you're keeping up with your nails ♪ヾ(☆ゝз・)ノ

uh...
i'm keeping up with them but i'm not good at it
so you might want to get someone else
i will definitely carry all your boxes for a day though

[insert a horrible mental montage of all the awful things toshi could potentially be doing to his poor nails...]

that's what the on-site nail specialists are for
but i'll still take your hands for carrying boxes, thank yooou

[sob he's trying it's just that sometimes he forgets the top coat and sometimes he doesn't do the right prep and--]

just as long as they don't look at my cuticles
they're gonna be in for a bad time

[Sounds like someone needs to go back to manicure bootcamp.]

omg why
what have you done to your cuticles
they can't just get bad on their own right??

no listen
it's not my fault this time
i let someone else do my nails and we didn't have all the stuff so they're kinda messed up

it's your fault for letting them do it even if you didn't have everything
how bad is "messed up" anyway?
pics

[So his poor soul can wither away even further...]

[Okay the picture that comes through is....it's not the worst ever, the polish is kind of chipped because he forgot to top coat it and--OH NO is that a hangnail]

before you say anything i haven't been chewing!

[He's totally been chewing....]

[A HANGNAIL?? PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD, SAVE THESE NAILS!!

And equally important--]

i can literally see that you've been chewing toshi

i didn't have clippers and the hangnail was annoying me

[he says, as though it's a good excuse WHICH IT ISN'T]

get clippers omg!! or just bandage it down until you can find a pair!
you shouldn't be chewing things up with those teeth anyway
i mean even people with regular teeth shouldn't but that goes x2 for you

Hey!
i'm not as bad with the teeth as i was!
i almost never bite hard anymore!

you're just lucky you haven't bitten off a finger or broken any of your teeth tbh

you know i've been thinking about that
i wonder if new ones would grow in if i broke any off

that better not be a precursor to "i'm going to find out"

i'm not THAT eager to find out!
it'd just be useful if that was the case, that's all

just making sure...

[He lives with Yamato, okay. Yamato who regained some healing skills and went "what if I test out how far it can go". Trust no one.]

hopefully you'll never have to find out tbh

[Poor Kashuu, honestly. Yamato alone would be trouble enough to handle.]

don't worry don't worry! i'm not the kind of guy that's going to go around biting metal stair railings just to see if i can chomp through them!

[......that's a very specific example.]

[That is such a specific example that Kashuu can feel himself aging 100 years in response.]

i'm going to pretend that you just happened to come up with that example because you're looking at a stair railing right now or something
more for my sake than yours honestly
