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.

...yeah the thing is

they're not mechanical in any way

i pulled one out and tore to pieces. there wasn't anything in it. it was just... a flower

[ it's still keeping him up at night sometimes... ]

so how the fuck were they recording me? or anything else for that matter?

[frostythehitman]

Maybe it's just a flower that screams back at you. Like a venus flytrap, but with words instead of eating.

Or maybe they really are recording us through plant matter now somehow. If anyone could pull it off, it would be Retrospec.

Hell, maybe the oranges have been cameras all this time too.

[ ....wait. wait, the more he thinks about this, the more it makes sense, FUCK-- ]

[loudmouths]

i mean i'd buy that, but it was my voice coming out of that flower. what would the point be in recording my voice and then playing it back to me, over and over??

...shit tho cameras instead of fruit??? edible cameras?!?!

[frostythehitman]

Just to mess with you? Retrospec does a lot of stuff that's got no use except to piss us off, I wouldn't be surprised if the flowers were part of it.

I don't know about the fruit cameras, but they've got eyes. They watch us. Who's to say they're not recording us too?

Also they're not edible, even if they seem like it. Have you been eating those fruit this whole time? What's wrong with you?

[loudmouths]

i guess that's true... i dunno...

I HAVEN'T EATEN A SINGLE FRUIT SINCE THIS HAPPENED ARE YOU KIDDING??? but i know a lot of people who have been!! i don't know how they do it!!!

either way, i don't trust those things...

[frostythehitman]

Well, good.

We can't trust enemy fruit. Especially if it's being used to record us somehow.

Get rid of all the citrus in your house, and the apples. If scurvy is the price of freedom, then I'm willing to pay it.

[loudmouths]

i'm way ahead of you

i haven't had a single fruit in my dorm for months

...at least applesauce is safe... unless they start making the sauce sentient too...

[frostythehitman]

I don't know how they'd do it, but I bet they would. Don't give them any more ideas.

But start checking your applesauce anyway. Just in case.

[loudmouths]

AH YOU'RE RIGHT

...though how would they get cameras in the applesauce...

[frostythehitman]

I'm not even gonna start guessing how, or else they'll start getting ideas.

But if they really wanted to? They'd find a way.

[loudmouths]

yeah you're right...

that's probably the scariest part, honestly...

[frostythehitman]

Exactly.

It's Retrospec's world, and we're all just living in it.
