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 Temporary access levels have been revoked.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.

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.

[ 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. ]

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!!

[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.)

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?

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

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

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

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

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

not if you properly credit them!!
