Hello Users, Please be advised that the temporal-spatial storm has now passed. Temporary access levels have been revoked. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please also be advised that as the storm has passed, work has resumed on certain other issues. You have my sincere thanks for your assistance. Thank you, Janet Halloway Human Resources Retrspec Incorporated As of this post, the city has completely returned to normal; damage has been fixed, monsters are gone, and NPCs now believe that monsters are definitely not normal but don't seem to remember them having been a thing. Oops? All weapons and powers gained in their various locations / as QR codes are now gone, additionally. Group 1 locations can no longer be accessed. Retrospec NPCs will not be reachable past this point! As mentioned to various members of group one, the Director does not approve of Retrospec's team speaking with its users, so NPC interaction will drop back down to what it originally was at this time. Doing research for these people will also net zero results. City-based NPCs will now remember members of group two! They will simply be under the belief that group two members were on vacation/had a family emergency/etc. No consequences will come from them being away at their jobs or school or anything else! Furthermore: -Horses are now regarded as valid mythological creatures! So you get mildly less strange looks for talking about them. -Photographs and text, online and off, now have the color blue again! -Visual video media (online, in theaters, etc) now has the color green once again! This does not include text yet. -There has been a new list of karaoke songs added to the city of Recollé! These songs can now be found in karaoke bars and machines all across the city and even can be sold on CDs for your own karaoke parties. -The Crow's Nest now has locations across the world, including a brand new location right in the heart of Recollé! After August's plot wraps up, be sure to grab a bite to eat and say hi to Kenny Crow. -Finally, the ocean has been restored! It's still gray, however. Keep working together to buy back world changes. 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.

Yes. Under the sea. I was actually given gills. And moonlight was visible underneath solid rock. "Science fiction" feels like it doesn't cover it anymore.

[truedetective]

"Weird magical shit" is a nice way to say "reality has been completely malleable and unstable."
Look, I've been trying to think of alternative explanations. None fit all of the facts so cleanly.

[truedetective]

Help? From who?
Someone else I can talk to?

[adoringpast]

you're telling me not to be an elitist snob and yet here you are demeaning their intelligence...

but i suppose you do have a point
might as well make do with buses until monster insurance calls me back

[elevelvetor]

it's very possible
or rather
it's incredibly likely.

[ there's such a difference between the two. ]

what if we simply refuse to help them until they tell us what we'd like to know?

i hate this stupid pun (no, i love it)

[frostythehitman]

What can I say, a cow's just no match for my raw strength.

[ This is a lie, he is pretty sure he pulled something doing that. And could've broken his back. But hey, he DID suplex it. Might as well pass it off as being no big deal. ]

[frostythehitman]

That's what the Retrospec employees called them, anyway.

We weren't locked in--we could come and go whenever we wanted, we just spent a lot of time in there doing all the stupid little puzzles to do their work for them.

It's full of rooms and generators and stuff down there. Lots of monsters too, but I don't think that part is normal. I saw where they keep all our addresses, at least. And I know where Maurice sleeps now.

[frostythehitman]

Just because they did one cool thing once doesn't fix all the BS they've put me and everybody else through. They're still crappy, just not 100% of the time.

It's more like 95% of the time.

[protegge]

oh no thats awesome
thats so great
I CAN BRING INTEGRITY TO WORK THAT CAN ABSOLUTELY BE MY HORSE

also: yeah, its extremely great because its shuji and hes awesome
hes still pretty biased

absolutely. this is absolutely a thing.

[protegge]

babe lying is wrong even when its lying about how super awesome your bf is

[thisloveisjustice]

Can't say I noticed any colorful frogs, but we didn't really look for them. Were any of those weird monkeys there? The ones that showed up with the rest of the monsters at the convention.

I'm so glad

[thesettingsun]

I am 100% telling the truth, you're just biased.

[protegge]

oh yeah does this sound like the statement of an objective man

"coolest, sweetest, most positive, bravest and heroic person"

i am cute as hell tho thats true

[thesettingsun]

You are cute as hell. And also super brave and heroic, and positive, and sweet and cool. I will source these to specific actions of yours and cite quotes.

[protegge]

ok do it then
i dare you

[thesettingsun]

Brave - the convention immediately after the monsters showed up, when I was frozen in fear and you were doing what you had to right away even though you'd never seen monsters before.

Heroic - yelling at that customer for me even though you knew you'd get fired for it, because it was the right thing to do.

Positive - "I know you'll be okay. But you're not right now. So just- It's okay that you're not. Just be not okay with me."

Sweet - "Even if [the cutest drink was more expensive] I'd get it for you, though. You gotta match your drink, right?

Cool - you work at a club where people come to talk to you because you're fun to talk to and also super good-looking, you're way more put-together than me, I can't believe you're even debating this one.

[protegge]

holy shit

[thesettingsun]

I told you.

[protegge]

hOW DID YOU EVEN REMEMBER ALL THE JUNK I SAID

[destiny_key]

well i wasnt paying a ton of attention
but there was a lady
and she was a different age every time she showed up

also maurice talked to us a bunch

[destiny_key]

im not asking my mom for money

and its not like i get paid at the shelter
so i guess jim is out of luck

[thesettingsun]

One of them was a super emotional moment for me and I probably won't forget it for the rest of my life, and the other one was just a cute as fuck line that went straight to my mental folder of 'Cute Stuff Guido Mista Has Said To Me'.

[admiringly]

yyy
it's a success rate we can't beat!

[protegge]

you do not have a folder

[esperimental]

The acquaintance I spoke of is Mohammed Hefaz, do you know him?

The other contacts are harder to get a hold of.

[ ... Not for him, but. Ghosts. ]
