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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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.

Isn't it just.

But yes, I've returned more or less in one piece. And I still owe you drinks, I believe.

I could use a drink right about now, too.

This is giving me a headache.

Believe me, you're far from the only one.

You had your fair share of weird crap happening too, I take it? Seems like it happened to a lot of us.

I'll explain it all in detail, should you choose to hear it, after having been given enough time to recover from it. It wasn't so much damaging as it was draining.

And asinine. Incredibly, incredibly asinine.

We can talk about it after we've gotten a lot of alcohol on our systems, and enough time has passed where it's not irritating to think about.

That sounds wonderful, honestly.

Contact me whenever you'd like.

Of course.

You're gonna be okay, right? You were one of the people I couldn't get in touch with.

I'll manage. It isn't as though I have much choice to do otherwise, after all.

I hear you on that.

Did you remember something bizarre too, after spending nearly a month wherever you were? Because that happened to me and it was unsettling. Maybe more so than everything else I've remembered.

[...]

I did, yes.

[I mean, hell if he's going to elaborate on that, but he did.]

[Oh, don't worry, he's not going to ask for elaboration.]

I wonder if this is going to happen every single time something bizarre happens around here.

It does seem to be a recurring theme, doesn't it?

It does.

I'm beginning to think it's on purpose, though I don't know how the hell it could be.

...Perhaps someone has discovered something recently that might explain it.

We found a few things ourselves, though I can't say I understood much of it.

Same thing happened to us.

There's some weird crap going on around here, and Retrospec isn't keen on telling us anything they don't think we need to know.

Have they ever done otherwise? Really.

Well, one of the people working for them sure as hell told the group I was with something weird, but I don't know how much it has to do with us.

How "weird", exactly?

That she was from some world that "couldn't be saved" and was the only survivor from it.

There's a lot to unpack about that statement alone.

...Oh, that's charming. Absolutely charming.

[are you shitting him.]

They also apparently have a "book of the dead" that lists every single world that wasn't saved.

Oh, and the implications of all the weird shit happening around here being the same thing as whatever killed off all those other worlds.

Like I said, there's a whole lot to unpack here.

[There's so much sarcasm there, you just can't tell through text.]

So what I'm hearing is that, best-case scenario, we're all going to die.

That's lovely.

That's the gist of it, yeah.

We really ought to drink together sometime, then.
