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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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.

[WELL, SHE DOESN'T KNOW THAT, SO REPLY IS COMING ANYWAY]

Why do you believe all of this? Retrospec is making our lives hell. Given the powers they have demonstrated, they could have faked any and all of this. If they were trying to help, then why are they not talking to us? What would be the point in giving us these false identities? What is the point of all the suffering we've gone through? They've already said- "unreality". We can't believe the things they say and show us, as they by their own admission are not real. I refuse to believe that these are lies. My life has not been a lie. All the pain and suffering we have gone through is not a lie. Our lives here, the friendships we've made, the people I know and love here, none of this is lies. Ryoji did not die for a lie.

[ ryoji... does he mean ryoji mochizuki? that playful guy who interviewed him for his blog last month is dead? a shiver goes down sena's spine because while they're not really that close, the fact that someone you know has kicked it is still pretty heavy stuff.

he's not really planning on replying after that, but he can try dishing out two more cents before he turns in for a nap. ]

It's not like I wholly believe in them to the point that I'm gonna start supporting their shit because trust me they're still a bunch of secretive assholes. But they did help us out during those missions, so maybe they're all not that bad. Some of them are still total shitters though, like Jim.

It's just that... I've been thinking. And I'm trying not to get all pissy for once because by god, I'm so fucking tired.

Do you know that there's a chance that you might meet certain people from those past lives in this city? And that you might have an interesting relationship with them? I've found more than one person who's connected to me in some way. And frankly it's unfair. Should I be obligated to restart whatever we had back then now? I'm just as happy with my life here. And, as hard as it is to believe, I do have friends that I love here. I wouldn't want to exchange that for anything either.

But it doesn't have to be lies. You can still continue to live out your life here. Retrospec may be set on ruining our lives every month, but it's really up to you on whether you should let that happen. I'm too cynical for that shit though so I'm still gonna bitch every time something goes wrong again, but in the end it's really up to you on how you make of all of this. And like I said, if you're still going to be in denial after all that, whatever.

I'm going to rest now and I'm probably not gonna reply anymore after this but... Just think about it. Hate me all you want again or whatever. I don't care. I'm used to it anyway.
