[recollecters]

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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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.

to anyone who was friends with Ryoji Mochizuki, even if you knew him in passing






he passed away. As did his mother

I'll be holding a ceremonial cremation at Peach Beach next Wednesday to say good bye. If you knew Mrs. Mochizuki, I'll let you know about the funeral later




please come

[ooc: no replies from her unless there are questions about the cremation and the like]

[thesettingsun]

[...oh. He doesn't know what to say to that to make that okay.]

I'm sorry. I'll be there.

[cattack]

I'll be there.
I'm sorry I couldn't save him.

[redarm]

["I'm sorry I couldn't save him" sounds like someone who actually know what's going on, so-]

what happened?

[complementing]

don't

it wasn't your fault

thank you for trying your best

[rygdea]

I heard about Mochizuki from Freya but I had no idea his poor mother passed too.

My sincere condolences.

[scarlet_devil]

Oh, Minako.

I'm so sorry.

If there's anything I can do, don't hesitate to tell me.

[eyestitch]

what?

[What a bad joke.


It's not a bad joke.]

He probably just thought I was some weird girl, so I'd probably be out of place there.

You two were close, right? I'm sorry.

[complementing]

[That gets a tired little smile out of her when she reads the text.] trust me when I say that if on the off-chance he thought you were weird he'd want you to be there anyways

[digthefuzz]

ryoji??

[Give him a moment to try to collect himself. He might not have known him well, but they had fun joking around as king and prince back at the Founder's Day parade. And they had an adventure during the time that they were shrunk... It's so unreal to think that that he's just... gone like that.]

I'm so sorry. I'll be there.

[esperimental]

[ He should confess. He should confess. He knows this.

... ]

Please give him a good sendoff.

[complementing]

...I will

is there anything you want me to say to him for you?

since it seems like you might not come

[feistytrader]

[Are you serious?

That's what he wants to type out. Ryoji's strong. How can he be dead, just like that? But... That's also not what you say to someone in a moment like this, so he says, briefly:]

I'm sorry.

[This is too much. It makes sense- it was impossible to not lose anyone to something like this, right?- but at the same time, he can't wrap his head around it...]

[elevelvetor]

[ ...oh.

she wasn't particularly close to him or anything, and she isn't particularly close to minako, either. but—loss is loss. she understands that far too well, with her parents (even if she was young at the time) and with friends (even if she decided to give up on that a long time ago). the least she could do is offer her words and... ]

you have my deepest condolences, Minako.
if you have need of
rather, if you don't mind my attendance, i would like to provide flower arrangements for both occasions.
you won't have to pay for them; they'll be free.

[ they'll be out of her paycheck. ]

[complementing]

I would like it very much if you could attend but...are you sure? About the flowers I don't want you to you know. Go out of your way? or rather, you I mean I want you to attend but you don't have to do that to attend [Touched by Elizabeth's offer, she has to keep replying through another crying fit. Ryoji would have smiled at Elizabeth's generosity without worrying. And then shown his appreciation in some little way afterward. She wants to do that too.] I'm sorry look at me being an inarticulate mess what I mean to say is thank you so much I would really appreciate it

[mincingminuet]

I'll be there.

If you need something, know you can count on me.

And thank you for taking care of my cat.

[loudmouths]

[ ohhhh boy. this was not what he wanted to come back to. ]

wha

what

you're kiddin me right??? this is a fuckin joke

[complementing]

I'm not joking

[lingeringwill]

I'm here for you, Minako. Always.

[admiringly]

[ Chiyo knows Minako would never joke about this. She would never lie about Ryoji. She knows all this, but all she can think, all she can say, her everything just screams: ]

no

[ and then much much later, she'll reply with: ]

ill come

[livingdeadgirl]

[oh

oh no.

she knew him. not well, but she knew him. she wanted to know him.]

he's ... gone?
but

I never got to teach him tarot

I'm sorry Minako
I'll be there

[negativism]

I'm sorry, Minako.

Don't worry about lessons for now unless you're sure, alright?

[youraffection]

shit
im so sorry
of course ill be there
lmk if theres anyway i can help

[toushiro]

[ this stings. he'd...he'd been with ryoji, seen how he had helped those kids back at the mansion. he didn't know ryoji well, but he could tell he had a good heart. ]

My condolences.

[totallynotanoni]

I am so sorry for your loss, Minako.

[She feels like she should say more, but she's not a hundred percent sure what else to text here. While she knows and gets along with Minako, they don't exactly know each other that well. And she definitely doesn't know Ryoji.

But she just can't stand by and say nothing. She's known the grief of loss from a young age, she knows it hurts. She's a counsellor, dammit, she should be ready for these kinds of things!]

I know we don't know each other very well yet, but I want you to know that if you ever need someone to talk to, your free to call me.
