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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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.

i'm certain you'll be able to find something.
barring that, you do have two roommates who can also help you look.


[ remember that bit about not handling everything yourself

yeah ]

[oh

right.]


Of course. Six eyes are better than two, after all.
Just make sure you take time to unwind before you decide to look.


[... The implication here is that Goro's absolutely not going to wait long to look again, probably will start immediately if necessary, but that's just... how he personally copes.]

By the way, did Kiki stay with you? I woke to find Watson had flown the coop.

[ we all cope in different ways but also please sit down, goro. ]

unfortunately, she hadn't.
it was incredibly disappointing, to be honest...
i was rather fond of her, and we had grown very close.
twostringsonebow: (69 oh please)

[but if he does he'll start thinking about the implications of his memories and how natural it is to shoot and gun and. a lot of things.]

... Do you want to come with me to the shelter? We can look at the animals and see if they'll allow us to play with them for a bit.
Perhaps you'll find your soulmate in one of them.

that would be nice.
perhaps tomorrow?

[personal profile] twostringsonebow 2017-08-27 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Tomorrow is perfect. I'm using all of today to relax, after all, from my... out of city photoshoot that I apparently had.

[It's what his family agrees he's been doing. Wow, he cannot wait to see the pictures that develop out from that.]

[personal profile] elevelvetor 2017-08-28 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
is that the reason for your disappearance...
mine was "visiting relatives". i forgot that there are several birthdays in August in my extended family...
my uncle asked me how they were.
i told him "the usual" and he laughed.
twostringsonebow: (19 i'm a shape shifter)

[personal profile] twostringsonebow 2017-08-28 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
What we did ended up being much more exciting than anything of the sort, huh.
That reminds me.
Your texts are a little alarming, Miss Velveteen.
Particularly in regards to certain notes.


[like her APPARENT ENGAGEMENT.]
elevelvetor: (ⅩⅪ. the world)

[personal profile] elevelvetor 2017-08-28 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
are they?
please remind me of what i sent, exactly.
twostringsonebow: (31 until i can't)

[personal profile] twostringsonebow 2017-08-28 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
The ice cream peddler wants to marry you.
I saw your being a hare (and your text whilst in animal form was rather cute, I'd like to inform you) and

we can talk about the llama-man tomorrow. I'll gather my thoughts on it and give you them then, if you'd still like them.
I did see the inventive way your group managed to escape that room though. I'm rather impressed by the innovation and willingness of participation in turning one's hand into stringy cheese, as horrifying as that is in retro
in hindsight.

[ ah yes. the maybe-engagement. was that really so troubling, goro. ]

please do.
and yes, it was quite creative. Emil and Dave were wonderful...
it made me bite my tongue on any laughs i may have over the uselessness of "turning oneself into dairy products" as a power.
twostringsonebow: (74 hey if i smile with my teeth)

[personal profile] twostringsonebow 2017-08-29 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[yes.]

All that aside, Miss Velveteen...
Did you enjoy yourself?
elevelvetor: (22. ace of wands)

[personal profile] elevelvetor 2017-08-29 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she's older than you (by a few months) she can make her own decisions... ]

for the most part.
i would have preferred to be here, obviously, but the company i ended up keeping was lovely.
ah!
i met some of your groupmates when we returned here as well, by the way.
i'm certainly glad you found your people.
twostringsonebow: (11 an empty glass)

[personal profile] twostringsonebow 2017-08-29 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
My people...
While their company was
interesting and enjoyable to a point
I'm not entirely sure I could consider them such.

[personal profile] elevelvetor 2017-08-30 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
it's that sort of attitude that helped you fit in with them, evidently.
twostringsonebow: (76 oh don't ask me how i've been)

[personal profile] twostringsonebow 2017-08-31 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
What sort of attitude?
elevelvetor: (37. ace of pentacles)

[personal profile] elevelvetor 2017-08-31 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
being extremely condescending.
twostringsonebow: (63 you see it's easy when i'm)

[personal profile] twostringsonebow 2017-09-01 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Excuse Me.]

I am not condescending.
I just think there is more... suitable company to call my people.






[he's condescending.]
twostringsonebow: (78 i know i said that i was doing good)

[personal profile] twostringsonebow 2017-09-01 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
do you think i'm condescending
i don't try to be but i'm aware i can come off as such at times
it was a word that paired well with some of the
rougher people that i knew.
elevelvetor: (27. five of wands)

[personal profile] elevelvetor 2017-09-01 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh...... she made him go to full-on lowercase........... ]

not at all!
but i do know some people who consider you to be,
and one of your groupmates told me you were "extremely so."

to me, you simply feel as if you have fairly high standards, as compared to other people, half of which you yourself may not even reach, yet you pride yourself on them regardless.
and you're very confident in them and yourself despite that as well.






[ he's condescending. ]
twostringsonebow: (50 i might as well)

[personal profile] twostringsonebow 2017-09-01 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[... He can read between the lines here but you know what he's good at doing?]

Kind words from someone so confident herself!
Truly, I admire how honestly you can speak, particularly in consideration of others' feelings.
You certainly have a way about you, Miss Velveteen.
elevelvetor: (34. knight of wands)

[personal profile] elevelvetor 2017-09-01 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ looking the other way?? ]

thank you.
though the last person who told me so managed to be far less patronizing than you are currently.
twostringsonebow: (05 i'm a shape shifter)

[personal profile] twostringsonebow 2017-09-01 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[being a bitch.]

If you perceive me as being patronizing whatsoever then perhaps it's a problem with you, because I never intended to come off as such.
All I mean is that your upbringing truly shines through in matters like this. Verbose and yet striking at the heart of things.
elevelvetor: (52. two of cups)

[personal profile] elevelvetor 2017-09-01 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ....................... ]

my apologies, Akechi. i may have taken my teasing a bit far.
you were not that patronizing, really.

also, i am aware my family is full of these types and i am often no exception. i hope that you will help me keep such a thing in check going forward, seeing how you manage yourself so well.

[what a snipefest. he feels a little bad about it since... she doesn't really deserve that sort of attitude, even if she reminded him of some of the less nice people in his life.]

... I'd like to apologize as well.
However annoyed I may have been at your attitude, I shouldn't have replied in such a way, nor followed it up like that.
Instead, I should have addressed you directly. I'll do so now.
Please don't patronize me. I very much appreciate your honesty, but I don't want it dressed up. I have no problem with accepting it plain.
