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.

... Are you sure you're old enough to even join the military? Also aren't military uniforms supposed to be earth toned for camouflage.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's what they want you to do with it, or they wouldn't have sent it to you in the first place.

Why do you think I said "according to the comic books and weird memories"? No duh it doesn't make sense, but it's the only explanation I've got right now.

And for the record, they sent me all of that before they got rid of the colors. If they planned for that, then they were planning it months ago.

... Fair point, how am I to argue with comic book logic?

... I honestly would not put it past them, actually. Considering that the supposedly blank QR codes have been around for a while, even before Jim mentioned it.

There's gotta be some truth to some of it, anyway, but who knows how much. Assuming any of what Retrospec's planting in our heads is true anyway.

...Well, even if they planned it, I'm still gonna keep wearing it. I'd rather be doing something than nothing. Besides, I bet if I piss them off enough wearing the blue, they'll eventually start to get annoyed just by seeing the color. Like those dog experiments.

Ah. You hope to annoy Retrospec enough for them to give us the rest back without having to resort to the stupid poll thing.

Nah, I'm just doing this to piss them off.

Getting the colors back would just be a nice bonus.
