hey. first matter of business is that you won't be getting items in the mail any longer. i'll send you tickets if i get something and you can ignore it if you want or pick it up from the mailbox. it's your choice. if you ignore it whatever it is stays in storage. the original thought was that you would like your things back, but since that isn't always the case this seems like the easiest way to avoid problems. i'll be upfront and say that you shouldn't try to put anything in the mailbox that doesn't go there. you can put in items registered in our system but anything else will trigger the failsafes. while these failsafes aren't lethal or anything, they're designed to be about as much of a pain as it would be for me to sort out that kind of thing. so that's your warning to maybe avoid triggering them? please do not attempt to destroy the mailbox. it took me a while to set up. it's over by the building. you'll recognize it because it is blue. instructions on how to use it will come with any tickets i mail out. if you have an item you want stored which is in our systems, go over and put it in. if you want one unstored, it'll give it back. easy as pie. no one else can pull your stuff or store it; it's locked to specific users with specific items. by the way, this isn't going to be working fully until the third. i'll be sending out tickets anyway though, so just keep tabs on them. can't do anything about physical changes without knocking your souls out of alignment, which is technician work anyway, and also would kind of kill you. joanne will address that in a second. Maurice Fitzwilliam Mail Department Retrspec Incorporated Hello! Like Maurice said, the physical changes are a result of your souls being as they are! What the mind forgets, the soul remembers. As long as you're you, you will become more "you" physically. It's a little like an echo coming back? I'm trying to be understandable, but the actual explanation is way more technical, sorry! That said, the only way to "stop" that kind of thing would be to let your soul dissipate, which is possible but 1) would kill you! and 2) would definitely be a thing I don't want to do because of point 1 and 3) is entirely against the company directives anyway. Maurice doesn't think saying this will help much, but I don't see any reason to not! Well, actually what he said was that people always need a target and he doesn't mind us being one, but he's a gloomy dork so he doesn't get a say. My great-grandmother liked people who were honest, not people who sighed and didn't bother to say things!! Also, I did try to explain unreality effects earlier when I spoke to some of you, but I don't think I was as clear as I could have been. At least, I'm not sure how to say things clearly and still be allowed to say them, but! There is something that causes unreality on the whole that I can't really say much about. But it was very connected to what destroyed all those poor worlds. We can't do much about that, but sometimes we can snag a few souls from those places, so we do, because we can. Not everyone liked that, you know, but what's the point of saving only yourself from the dark? Anyway, they had that argument way before I was ever born, but even if they'd had it when I was alive, this would definitely be my answer. We do manage to stabilize things sometimes. I'm afraid I need to let you know that some of it we're going to have to let go. The changes might be a little confusing, but it shouldn't be dangerous. We're going to be moving some resources into better defenses against that kind of huge storm. Please don't worry too much if some things move around or shrink! It's a lot to maintain, you know? I'm sorry that we can't be more exact. This month shouldn't be more than residual effects from what we're doing, though. So it won't be any uncontrolled unreality. Mostly! For the record, we don't really control what those effects are! I can't really address everyone but I know that came up a lot last time? Joanne Wiseman Technician 2nd class Retrspec Incorporated As of this post, clothing and personal items have now regained the color blue! This includes all items your character had in their AU plus any regains your character has obtained. However, this does not include physical features. As a reminder, this month's freebie regain can be earned with one thread on this post with five consecutive comments from you with a new character. We define "new character" as any of the incoming new characters from the application round regardless of TDM tags or any in-game character who your character has not threaded with. Once you have those five comments you may turn in the regain request as usual with "November Freebie" as the explanation (and the thread link). 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.

the more you guys yap on about unreality shit the more i think that we're all trapped in some sort of containment facility like the freaks we are

anyways wake me up when you guys finally get the blue back in our eyes again
nice of you guys for finally bringing back the color in our clothes back though i have to wonder why green is taking so long, ugh

[elevelvetor]

perhaps they're colorblind and missing green doesn't matter because it'd simply be blue to them anyway.

[adoringpast]

all of them can't be colorblind, elizabeth
unless that's a must-have for every retrospec employee

[elevelvetor]

well, my working theory of everyone having an "a" as the second letter of their name was thoroughly crushed beneath their heel
so i do need another
and this could be it!

[mr_fancy_car]

Maybe since green is a secondary color while blue is primary, it's taking much longer for green.

That sounds like a logical explanation, but then again, whatever we're in is hardly logical.

[adoringpast]

huh
that's actually the most logical explanation ive ever heard from anyone else who's on this app
thanks for being the beacon of light in these dire times, miles
i guess

[mr_fancy_car]

It's a difficult job, staying sane in the midst of everything that's going on, but I suppose someone has to do it.

[twostringsonebow]

I keep forgetting your eyes are the loveliest shade of blue... I've become used to their grey tint.

[adoringpast]

right?
people are starting to forget even though they look just fine in photos
im going to be so mad if they saved eye color for last

[ lol ]

[twostringsonebow]

Never before have I been so happy to have brown eyes, dull as they are.

[chessking]

ok, I'm just making sure, but are you speaking from personal experience regarding the containment facility or.......

I mean, more people have blue eyes than green eyes also. I think? majority wins and all that?

[ not that he can say anything he has purple eyes so. ]

[adoringpast]

what
are you saying that i came from one, lulu
fucking really

[chessking]

... look, i said nothing of that sort? you kind of implied it though, so i wanted to be completely sure :|

[liberal_arts]

And what sort of freak, precisely, are you?

[adoringpast]

im not a freak, kasen-san!
im not


im not

[ yeah there's a lot to unpack here ]

[liberal_arts]

-...-

I was only teasing. And you're the one that used that word in the first place.

[wantnotneed]

At least we can be freaks together?
Misery sure loves company. :)

[adoringpast]

manon-san
they got you too, huh

[ hostess-senpai not you too ]

[sharplydressed]

ugh you know, that might not even be untrue at this rate (´ж｀;)

the thing with clothes is nice though!
even if blue eyes still being gone is literally the most tragic thing ever

[adoringpast]

oh my god it's you
i thought you were just a figment of my dreams
but i know right
how is it hard to restore color in our eyes anyway
blue being back in outfits don't mean a thing if they aren't good enough for grey eyes

[secare]

i'm starting to think
that no one else cares about green
as much as i do

probably cuz their taste is bad and wrong

[adoringpast]

it's not that no one likes green
it's just that it's a better idea to pool everything into one color first and then focus on the other once that's done
simple

[handpuppet]

Do you think they might get rid of another color again at one point, like yellow?

[adoringpast]

[ oh no, a child..... time to tread on this as delicately as he can ]

i don't think so
unless one of those people behind the app slips their finger on accident and deletes the color from existence
when they delete blue and green it was to get someone else's attention, iirc

[strayknight]

They just want to suck out all of the colors.
