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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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 Human Resources Retrspec Incorporated 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.

yes

but it's still inconvenient so she's not wrong

maybe she wasn't doing that maybe she just didn't want to say all that

[chuusai]

Just calling it inconvenient makes it seem like they don't want to admit how bad it was
Which is ridiculous considering they're the only ones with all the information so if anybody should know how bad it was it's them

[lalliho]

lots of people don't like talking about the bad things that happen

[chuusai]

That's fine when we're just talking to each other
I know I'd rather talk about school starting or anything other than giant ocean monsters and twists in space and time
But this is a message assuming responsibility for what happened
If anybody's going to talk about the bad stuff it should be them

[lalliho]

they helped fix it and they didn't decide to make it happen they called it a storm

they could just be regular people that are bad at talking

[chuusai]

I'm not sure how you spent the last three weeks
I spent it hiding in my house and wondering if I was ever going to see my friends again
And the people who were missing were getting information and help to get back but we got nothing out here
So I'm not really interested in trusting anything retrospec has to say right now

[lalliho]

I was in their building and following instructions they gave us to help

just because you didn't get anything doesn't mean they didn't give it

[chuusai]

Then you have a reason to trust them and I don't
What are you trying to convince me of here anyway?

[lalliho]

I don't know if I'm trying to convince you I'm just saying that you might be wrong?

[o...kay...]

some people can't talk good and then people think they're weird and wrong

[chuusai]

Wrong about what?
Being suspicious and angry?
I'm glad my friends are back and that they're safe but if I had to rely on Retrospec to tell me why they were taken or explain anything beyond it being an inconvenience then they're really not stepping up

It's not about how they're saying it
It's literally about what they are and aren't saying

[lalliho]

wrong about what they mean

they didn't ask you to rely on them for information and they are saying things that are true

it's not enough for you but they didn't say they would give you more

annoying but not evil

people are like this all the time

[chuusai]

And all of this means I'm not supposed to feel anything about it?
People are annoying all the time
So you get annoyed and sometimes you say so

What're you trying to achieve here?
I get that the people running retrospec are people
But the possible end of reality is not ever just going to be an inconvenience

[lalliho]

no you can be mad

I just don't know why you have to be mad at them instead of just mad
