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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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,

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.

[ majima pulls him tight and close, his fingers bunching in the fabric of kiryu's jacket like he means to never let go. they hadn't met up after the dragon thing, just texted. and the texts were nice but he'd been so distracted

now that he's got kiryu again he cant believe he let his distractions get in his way this whole time

he breathes him in deep, burying his face into kiryu's shoulder ]

Mmhm.

[ Between dragons and strange rooms and unrealities, the last month hadn't even felt real. But holding Majima like this, feeling his strong arms surrounding him -- that's real. Kiryu squeezes Majima tightly, taking a deep breath and closing his eyes to just listen to him breathe and feel the rise and fall of his shoulders.

They should have made time, but things were too crazy. The important thing is they were here again, together. And as cheesy as it sounds, this is the kind of thing Kiryu was fighting for. ]

I missed you.

[ that's cheesy and gross but honestly Majima Gets It, and he feels it too. he's really glad they're back together. he may have said they should fight and he does want to, but also -- this part is important, too. ]

I missed you too.

[ Boy, it sucks not seeing your boyfriend for a whole month. Kiryu isn't letting go any time soon, much as he might want to have that fight. This is the part he wants to hold onto right now. ]

You didn't get hurt or anything, right?

[ He doesn't say it, but the obvious implication is: "You're too strong for that, right?" ]

Of course not.

[ he smiles, but kiryu will probably end up feeling it more than seeing it ]

I punched a lot of things, though.

Cool.

[ Kiryu smiles, relieved. He's pretty sure nothing could stop Majima, but he wants to be sure, you know? Actually, talk of punching makes him chuckle a bit, Majima can probably feel that way more than Kiryu's actually showing it. ]

I didn't get to punch things until the end. Solved a lot of riddles, though.

And talked down a dragon. Fuckin' dope.

That was pretty rad.

[ He nods. And he remembered he's the Dragon of Dojima, which is also pretty rad. ]

I punched a plant monster, too. It was huge. But we ended up talking it down and beating it with riddles, too.

I bet Professor-san loved that.

Ah, that one was with Nui. The room I had with Professor-san was one where we had to talk about our secrets.

[ He calls her Professor-san when he's around Majima, obviously. ]

[ he pulls away - not because he's jealous but because he knows kiryu's a pretty closed person. that had to be weird. ]

Are ya doin' ok after that?

I...

[ Wow, it's sweet that Majima cares about this in particular. It's true, Kiryu's not big on sharing too much, much less the kinds of things he had to say to get through it. ]

It was hard, but we got through it. [ That's the important part. ] She knows I was in the yakuza, though.

Can't be much of a surprise ta her. She knows I was too.

Oh, good. That's not too bad, then.

[ He said a lot of things he wouldn't normally admit to... like how he purposely tells people the nice memories and avoids sharing the bad ones.

But he can tell Majima. Who else would he tell? ]

It was a lot of the stuff about my dad. And how I haven't always been honest with people... about the memories I've been getting.

[ kiryu has, at least, told majima a little about his fears about his dad. majima reaches over, running his thumb along kiryu's cheekbone. ]

It's okay not ta tell people, Kiryu-chan. Ya don't owe anyone those memories.

[ Kiryu sighs into Majima's touch. ]

I didn't have a choice. It was for the puzzle.

[ He shakes his head a bit. ]

Anyway, compared to some people, that was nothing. I shouldn't complain.

I don't mean with Professor-san, I mean in general. If ya haven't been honest, there's nothin' wrong with that.

[ they were definitely criminals in a past life. ]

Nah, it don't gotta be like that. Ya know I'll listen, if ya wanna talk.

I know. It's just... hard.

[ Maybe that's more proof for the crime than anything else. Somehow the thought of being that open with anyone (besides maybe Majima,) doesn't sit right with him.

It's okay to tell Majima, though. They shared things in the past, there's nothing to hide. Kiryu buries his face in Majima's neck and sighs. ]

Thanks, Majima. I know you'd be there for me.

I know. It's a lot.

[ for both things - that it's a big deal to trust someone that much, that it's a lot to be able to tell. ]

Yeah.

[ He takes a deep breath, squeezing him a little. ]

At least now we both have super strength, right? We can fight.

Oh yeah!!

[ thats why kiryu came over ]

Lets fight!

[ What could be better than this?? Kiryu smiles. They're just gonna fight in his apartment, huh? Good thing Majima has like no furniture. ]

Yeah.

[ He pulls his shirt off (of course he does) and throws it on the ground. Now they can fight. ]

Let's go.

[ heck yes what could be better than fighting??? a good reunion ]

It's gonna be good.

Feels like I've been waiting a long time for this.

[ For super strength, for them to finally have time to spend together... there's a lot Kiryu's been waiting for, but he's happy to get it all now with Majima, like this. He cracks his knuckles and rolls his shoulders before stepping forward to get up in Majima's space and aiming a punch for his face. Gotta start strong, right? ]

[ always start strong -- majima takes it but only because he misses him so much. he punches him right back though ]
