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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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.

That doesn't surprise me at all. I saw some people just drop where they were standing from all the fighting. ...How's your home? Did you go to see your family already?

[Shouto, internally, god I wish that were me. He feels like he wants to sleep for a thousand years.]

I'm going home now.

[Cutter grimaces at the message, but he can't backtrack now that he's already went there.]

Alright. Want me to come over and have your back? I can wait outside again.

[A pause. He remembers way too clearly what he has written Shouto while he couldn't be reached.]

Hey, man... My couch's always open for you if you need a place to crash.

[...

That's right his family might not remember him...]

I think I want to be alone for this.

But thank you for the offer.

Alright. You can do this. Let me know how it went, ok?

[Okay, now he feels really bad.]

I'll let you know.

I'm hoping everything is back to normal.

It should be. You owe me a story of what you were up to while you were gone, too.

Do you want it now or later?

Whichever way you prefer. I don't wanna keep you if you're going to meet your family.

We'll talk tomorrow.

I got you. ...call if you need somebody to listen before tomorrow, ok?

[Things should be back to normal but he can't help it - he's worried.]

Alright. Thank you.

Right. and uh, Shouto? I probably said it before but I'm glad to have you back.

[Just don't go around calling him a softie or something.]

[He's glad he's on the phone, he can't help but smile at that.]

I'm glad to be back. I missed everyone.

Ok. Then I'll just keep an eye out for Midoriya and Aizawa while you're busy doing your thing. And your teacher, in case she tries to implode herself again.

[Izuku and Aizawa are no big fighters from what Cutter knows, while Maggie seems to be edging close to her emotional limits. He has no clue how much a simple guy like him can really help, but he'll do his best to hold down fort for as long as Shouto needs time for himself. Shouldn't be too hard with no signs of impeding crisis anytime soon.]

Please take care of them. And make sure nothing tries to snatch Izuku. I'll check in on Maggie after too.

[Aizawa is an adult and thus Shouto trusts him to... not die, at the very least. But the same is not at all true for Izuku.]

Snatch him? I thought we got all the monsters. Did I miss something important?

[What the hell, Shouto? Are they talking about some weird stalker-something Cutter didn't know about so far? Why did nobody tell him!]

Thanks for taking over Maggie, btw. You know her better so you'll probably be able to reach her better too.

I had a memory of him getting taken by a flying monster.
I guess it made me paranoid.

I've known her for a long time. I'll do my best.
But she's stubborn.

That makes sense. I guess. No worries, I'll look out for him. Though I'm pretty sure we're out of flying monsters right now. ;) Says the right one. I trust you're gonna perfectly out-wit-weird her when the time comes. :)

For now doesn't mean forever.
I keep expecting them to come back.

I'm perfectly reasonable.

Even seeing pink elephants is perfectly reasonable under the right circumstances and you - you can be savage! I want to say that won't happen but I don't want to risk jinxing it.
