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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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

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.

[ all you people deciding to continue a conversation after seemingly ending it— ]

it is, and i'm not entirely certain.
dwelling on it too long personally brings a lot of troubling thoughts, doesn't it?

[great minds think alike...????]

It certainly does. I've had several unpleasant memories I'd prefer to avoid thinking about, after all!

But this doesn't seem like the sort of thing we can just avoid forever either, unfortunately.

unfortunately.
something like this would have come out one way or the other too, and i think it was
i believe it was for the best that it hadn't been from Retrospec or any of their employees themselves.
especially given their PR record.


[ which is poor, from what she recalls. ]

Oh, absolutely. I can only imagine how poorly we all would have taken it if it had been announced by Jim!

Though that would have made it easier to ignore.

[what a shame...]

it's true.
but then we would've been forced to confront it in some sort of strange happening, i'm almost certain.
it would at least be our luck for that to happen at least...

[personal profile] scythegun 2017-08-26 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
That's true enough! It really does seem like strange things happen all the time around here...

i don't recall this sort of thing happening in the other cities i've lived in, either.
though perhaps it's because i didn't find anything strange before being voluntold into joining this app?
or perhaps it's because nothing like this happens anywhere else. just this city.


[ it'd fit with the project thing??? and the whole "the organization and government are tied together" thing. and regaining ties. and. why is this such a mess, she doesn't like this at all. ]

I've certainly never experienced anything like this before! It's strange to think that this could be limited to just this city, but it wouldn't be all that surprising.
