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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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.

nice meme

Thank you

I really missed the internet.

oh, you were one of them, huh?

I'm sorry, that must've been hard.

I don't think we've met before :o

Yup.
I went on a lovely swamp vacation.

Hi I'm Eleanor.

i feel like you're using humor to cover up the fact that it was in fact, not lovely

I hope you're not like
Hurt or anything

Can i call you Ellie
(I'm terra btw)
(Like the planet we live on)

What? No!
I would never think of doing such a thing.
I mean
What teenage girl doesn't just dream of spending three weeks experiencing all the pleasures that an abandoned mine, a swamp, and a haunted mansion have to offer?
It was the perfect gift right before college

...

I'm fine though
Well. Getting there.

I don't think anyone has ever called me Ellie except my little sister.

as long as your traumatic experience doesn't rule you, i think you're doing well

And hey
Congrats on getting accepted to college, Ellie

Who has time to let it?
I just basically lost three weeks I have to make up

Thanks though.
I'm pretty excited.

at least it was during the summer and you don't have to make up three week's of uni

Do you know what you wanna study yet?

(Look at this normal conversation it's like nothing bad ever even happened)

No just three weeks of my internship.
I'm just glad they don't seem to care I was gone.

Engineering.
And journalism.
But engineering first.

(It's so weird I don't remember how to normal conversation.)

yeah non retrospec people are pretty god damn chill when it comes down to it
Creepy...but convineient

Engineering, jeez, you must be hella smart
I was too dumb to do math so I'm a history major
You can only imagine how many jobs that's going to get me, yep

If you're going to RU, i live on campus, so you can give me a shout if you ever need getting help out of a jam
Jams are a prevalent thing in college life
Just
Constant jamming
(And not the fun kind of jamming)

I never really get used to it.
My parents don't even seem to care I was gone.

I suppose you could say I'm pretty smart, sure.
Or I just have a particular knack for one thing.

I'll keep that in mind.
I'm rather hoping college is a bit calming, actually, after everything else going on.

yeah, interacting with my dad is...weird. Sometimes it feels like he's a zombie. Like they're all zombies.

I feel so shitty for everyone who's like
Dating somebody who isn't also in retrospec


Oof

But yeah hopefully you get some time to be a normal kid doing normal college kid things
Like going to parties and being pressured to drink beer even though it tastes terrible
That'll be p fun

Not sure I could even do that anymore.
It's just so...

Oof. Yeah. Heh.

Preeeeetty sure I have enough self control to not get conned into drinking something that tastes terrible.

wait shit you're not even 21

You shouldn't get conned into drinking at all

Just stay in your dorm and do crossword puzzles ok Ellie

Uh huh.

And how old are you exactly?

older than you

I'm 23, hence my wise attitude and quotations of American presidents

I have some great word search reccomendations

All that sacred knowledge you've picked up in five whole years?

I'm not sure I need recommendations from someone who made at least two dirty jokes so far.

you'd be surprised at how much growing up happens in five years. I mean, you're a drastically different person now than you were when you were 13, no?

Wtf tho

I haven't made a single dirty joke i think your head is just in the gutter, ellie

Edited (M A T H) 2017-08-27 02:23 (UTC)

I hope so, I was kind of weird then.

And I'm a teenager so probably.

But you did

NO I didn't

Literally

Was it the jamming thing

I meant jamming as in like dancing to music

Uh huh

Of course you did.

WHEN HAS JAMMING EVER BEEN USED IN A SEXUAL CONTEXT

IS THIS HOW THE KIDS ARE TALKING THESE DAYS

I'm pretty sure everything can be used that way anymore.
It's the future now
For innuendo.

back in my day, innuendo had integrity

And cleverness

It wasn't just every adjective
