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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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.

omg will you tell me about your boyfriend and how you met? please?

[ talk to her about REAL ROMANCE and not the farce that is the Halloways (in her mind) ]

very useful! i didn't run into a lot of riddles but i know i would've needed help to solve them if i did
riddles aren't my strong point

[thesettingsun]

Of course I will! Have you met Guido Mista? He works at Club Sunshine, he's cute as hell, you'd remember him if you'd met him.

[admiringly]

no i haven't! but i think i've seen him around on retrospec? i haven't talked to him though
what about him makes him so cute to you?
i want to hear about it!

[thesettingsun]

Where do I even start? Mista is the coolest, sweetest, most positive, bravest and heroic person I have ever been lucky enough to meet. I met him first when we were working retail together? And we got along really well, he's super funny and easy to talk to.

But it was when he yelled at a customer for making me cry that I fell for him. He got fired for that and he knew he would but he was so cool, standing up for me! Like a knight in shining armor, except in a crop top.

[admiringly]

[ She is staunchly ignoring the crop top tidbit for this tale!! of!! love!! Nothing can get in the way of love, not even questionable fashion choices. ]

chinhands
eeeeee this is one of the sweetest things i've heard!!
i'd be on cloud 9 if someone stood up for me like that
he sounds super cool what a great guy!!
i'm so happy you're happy together with your knight in shining armor ♡
that something so good could happen because of working retail is enough to give me hope!!

[thesettingsun]

[That's what Shuji does too. He'll let Mista make his poor fashion decisions because he loves him so much.]

Thank you! It's enough to make the rest of retail hell worth it. (Almost.)

[admiringly]

almost!
love didn't conquer everything for you?
jk but i know you're working hard to get out of retail!
so that it'll just be the story of how you and your boyfriend met right?

[thesettingsun]

Exactly! When I'm out of here, retail will be nothing more than a backdrop for my love story.

[admiringly]

your love rose from the ashes of horrible retail
that's something i'd read again and again!

[thesettingsun]

It's an inspiring story about light coming from even the darkest places.

[admiringly]

yes!!
about how love can bloom in the unlikeliest of places
the flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all

[thesettingsun]

I can't use that line, Didney's lawyers will track me down and kill me in my sleep.

[admiringly]

not if you properly credit them!!
i think
[person]: i'm going to quote from one of my favorite movies!!
[insert line]

disclaimer: i don't know how copyright works

[protegge]

its true i had a horse and everything*

seriously tho i think every time he talks about me to somebody he adds more adjectives
dont believe him

_______________________
*i didnt you cant bring horses to work. or chocobos.

can they be sitting across the room from each other please

[thesettingsun]

I keep adding more 100% true adjectives, Mista, I am an extremely reliable source on how great you are.

absolutely. this is absolutely a thing.

[protegge]

babe lying is wrong even when its lying about how super awesome your bf is

I'm so glad

[thesettingsun]

I am 100% telling the truth, you're just biased.

[protegge]

oh yeah does this sound like the statement of an objective man

"coolest, sweetest, most positive, bravest and heroic person"

i am cute as hell tho thats true

[thesettingsun]

You are cute as hell. And also super brave and heroic, and positive, and sweet and cool. I will source these to specific actions of yours and cite quotes.

[protegge]

ok do it then
i dare you

[thesettingsun]

Brave - the convention immediately after the monsters showed up, when I was frozen in fear and you were doing what you had to right away even though you'd never seen monsters before.

Heroic - yelling at that customer for me even though you knew you'd get fired for it, because it was the right thing to do.

Positive - "I know you'll be okay. But you're not right now. So just- It's okay that you're not. Just be not okay with me."

Sweet - "Even if [the cutest drink was more expensive] I'd get it for you, though. You gotta match your drink, right?

Cool - you work at a club where people come to talk to you because you're fun to talk to and also super good-looking, you're way more put-together than me, I can't believe you're even debating this one.

[protegge]

holy shit

[admiringly]

if i can't believe your boyfriend who should i believe??
isn't it great that he can say so many good things about you? i think it's great!!
your steed was your integrity! standing up to customers who go over the line is outstanding!!

[protegge]

oh no thats awesome
thats so great
I CAN BRING INTEGRITY TO WORK THAT CAN ABSOLUTELY BE MY HORSE

also: yeah, its extremely great because its shuji and hes awesome
hes still pretty biased

[admiringly]

integrity is your horse and dignity is your armor?
set it in stone

if your boyfriend isn't biased would he be your boyfriend?
what would someone not shuji say about you?
