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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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.

So, that's that. I presume this means we "Champions" are finally being given leave to lay down our arms.

...Meanwhile, all of my non-Retrospec colleagues and acquaintances seem to think I've been gone on a business trip for the duration — which, while strictly technically accurate, is also a bit unsettling.

But on a more personal note: does anyone know the whereabouts of my cat, lately?

oh

yes I've seen it it's fine

[...THANKS??? LALLI?]

You've seen my cat? Where is he?

[Carmen will get an address sent to her.]

or the next street over sometimes

he learned to wait at night there for me to walk him to the store though

[OF ALL THE THINGS TO GET HER TO CHOKE UP...]

His name is Bustopher Jones. I'm glad he was clever enough to find a friend while I was away.

we're not friends

[at least one of them isn't emotionally stupid]

Oh? What are you, then, if not friends?

[Hmmn...]

unwilling caregiver and clever leech

Unwilling, and yet the leech proved successful despite that?

a lot of leeches do

I like leeches better than cats

That's a rare opinion. Why is that?

leeches don't follow me around and annoy me

Leeches stick to your skin and draw out your blood.

Isn't that essentially the same thing?

I've never had a leech do that

What sort of leeches have you been meeting?

just one

bustopher jones

Bustopher Jones is a cat about town.

Calling him by any other name doesn't make him any less of a cat.

hmn

[It seems he Disagrees.]

A cat's entitled to expect these evidences of respect - so this is this and that is that, and that's how you address a cat.

[For a second, he just thinks she's a huge weirdo -- and it's highly likely she still is -- but...something's nagging at him...]

that sounds familiar
