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.

When that happens we'll cross over from 'surreal and kind of frightening events' to the plot of at least two dystopia novels.

even if that's kind of a joke, the fact that there's like an actual possibility of it happening is
concerning

[TO SAY THE LEAST.]

well, whatever
as long as no one ACTUALLY goes burning down buildings, it should be fine for now

Someone's going to do that at some point, because a lot of people here make bad life decisions.

[The sad part is, he can't even argue with that... Especially not considering the bad decisions he also makes?!]

you're right...

blanket statement to the public: if any building goes up in flames it wasn't us

I solemnly swear not to light any building on fire. Or any car, or any object not explicitly intended to be lit on fire.

you're good at covering your bases, nice job

I just don't want to get in trouble if somebody decides to make a car explode instead.

let's just hope no one takes it to an extreme like that
fingers crossed

Most people here will probably not blow things up on purpose, knock on wood.

your faith in the people here is surprisingly high!
but i'll knock on wood too lmao

I'd say something about being an optimist but I think you'd laugh.

no way!
nothing wrong with a little optimism
we need optimists and pessimists for the world to function, or something like that

I agree. It's just that I'm really not an optimist. At all.

you're not??
that's a surprise Σ(･口･)!

Do you even remember how we met?

i do!
but i also figured that was just an extra stressful situation
no one does their best in those

It was extra stressful and I was worse than usual, but I'm still not really optimistic most of the time. A -2 on the optimism scale as opposed to that meeting's -9.

that pessimistic huh...
i'm surprised you haven't stressed yourself into a coma by now tbh, knowing that

I'm surprised too, honestly. At least my hair hasn't turned grey, that would be even worse.

i'd hook you up with my fav stylist if that ever happened
grey hair is just not trendy

I already dye it, but I'm always here for stylist recommendations.

if you're really looking for some i can get you in with industry stylists!

[He could have his hair done by the same person who does Baren's hair, just imagine.]

I'm not sure I can afford those? Even though that'd be amazing.

[He would die of joy.]

that's where the "having connections" part comes in handy

What did I do to deserve meeting a saint like you?
