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.

No idea. Maybe both are equally terrifying.

[caelestialis]

Definitely.

I'm just exhausted at the very thought of having to deal with whatever they have in store for us. I'm so glad summer is here. Teaching summer classes would be a welcomed respite from all of this.

[wordcarvings]

Hopefully it won't actually cause trouble but considering, it's not impossible.

Yeah, it seems like it would. We all could use some summer right now. Though it will not be the same this year thanks to all the gray.

[caelestialis]

I know. It's going to be so depressing going out for jogs more than usual for the rest of this summer. So much grey where greens or blues should be.

But I do want to be hopeful for the future. If some blues are coming back than maybe the rest will return too? Along with the other colours? Jim did mention we wanted blue back the most meaning if this, whatever 'this' is, keeps up than who knows? It'll be normal again.

[ normal as it can get, she means. ]

[wordcarvings]

Yeah. Maybe you should bring some company along, it could keep the mind off of it.

[ It would be impossible for him but. He’s always focused on colors and patterns and such. ]

I really hope that they will. Taking the color out of the world, even if it’s only two of them, is not something that’s a nice thing to do.

[caelestialis]

Honestly? I'm kind of envious of everyone who isn't reacting to this or thinks this is all normal. While I know we have each other to look for support and help, it sometimes feels so isolating to be the only one in a room to find the fruits strange, the Chocobos weird, and the lack of colours puzzling.

I'm sorry if I sound like a Debbie Downer right now! Maybe the months are finally catching up to me, haha.

[wordcarvings]

I know what you mean.

A what? 8o

[caelestialis]

A Debbie Downer! You know? Someone who is known for being super gloomy and super depressing to be around?

I don't want to be that for you guys. That wouldn't be fair since we're under so much stress and surprise as it.

[wordcarvings]

I’m not familiar with that term.

I don’t think you should worry about that, you’re not.

[caelestialis]

Thank you. It's nice to see my current bout of gloominess hasn't tarnished my hard-earned reputation of being pure sunshine!

And really? You haven't heard of it before? I guess that makes sense. The origin of it is from a very old TV show. I only know of it myself thanks to slang and VHS Tapes that had some of the episodes from the sitcom.

[wordcarvings]

Not at all, not at all. How could that reputation be tarnished?

No, I don’t really watch TV at all, since I keep getting distracted from it. Is it that old?
