E: @here all right
E: @here
E: now that I have your attention
E: A lot of people seem to be suffering from a condition that i do NOT have the medical credentials to identify or name
E: Symptoms include:
E: Colour loss, which is to say complete desaturation, starting at 'pale' and proceeding to 'black and white movie'
E: memory loss of events that happened during our time here
E: we don't currently know causes or cures so just, be careful I guess?
E: If you think you might have it, look in a mirror
E: if you are afraid of mirrors take a selfie and look at it
E: if you're greyscale please ping me or something I want to make a list of everyone affected

E: okay that's all

Boss: if you're not sure if you've lost memories, have someone quiz you
Boss: there may be a trend but I'm not sure
Boss: at least two of the people affected could not remember their worst memory here
Boss: that said, anyone who has any information on which of the assholes in charge likes to pull things at this level, hit me up

[columbidaring]

E: do you know if anyone has lost a memory that they bought back

[criminaljustice]

Boss: didn't check for that but I think it might be centralized to memories from here

[columbidaring]

E: yikesyikesyikesyikesiykes

[criminaljustice]

Boss: good news, E. if you can remember why we haven't talked in a while, you should be free of monochromitis.

[columbidaring]

E: GOOD NE W S

[criminaljustice]

Boss: just ping me if that changes in the least, ok?
Boss: kinda need as many technicolored people as possible

[columbidaring]

E: i feel like the craziest thing i have done here so far is what i am doing now
E: which is to say i am writing on my arm 'what happened with you and Boss?'
E: just in case I forget and then don't think to question the memory
E: we've hit this level of crazy folks

[criminaljustice]

Boss: just pray it doesn't get to the level of crazy of me dressing up in a nice suit
Boss: and figuring out how best to have a nice chat with some demons

[columbidaring]

E: why you gotta wear a suit for that

[criminaljustice]

Boss: I stole Azzy's suit from the house.

[columbidaring]

E: hm
E: i mean he probably owns lots
E: hes a hell prince
E: but i see it is likely to be about the statement made
E: you do you

[criminaljustice]

Boss: who knows?
Boss: he might appreciate my gumption

Private Message @Anubis

[criminaljustice]

Boss: sorry
Boss: need some help with demon stuff and also a puzzle.

[have images of two lists]

Boss: i don't really remember the hostage game well but 99 said you were able to help with the puzzles?

[rollwillpowercheck]

hydrangea: he's overselling me. I was able to solve one of the puzzles in time.
hydrangea: but I can try to help?

[criminaljustice]

Boss: any amount of help would help
Boss: one of them being if we know which demons control things here outside of games
Boss: i think they're probably the ones enforcing something without telling us what it is

[rollwillpowercheck]

hydrangea: SK is in charge of the shop. He works for Mammon. There's another contract worker in charge of city planning, but I don't know their name or who they work for.
hydrangea: obviously Mukuro works for Asmodeus, and Exael seems to work for Pythia
hydrangea: Lilith is around
hydrangea: is that the kind of info you wanted, or...?

[criminaljustice]

Boss: yep, you're nailing it
Boss: so how does one get a hold of a demon in the first place?

[rollwillpowercheck]

hydrangea: invocations
hydrangea: video calls
hydrangea: text messages

[criminaljustice]

Boss: got SK's number?

[rollwillpowercheck]

hydrangea: No, and I'm not sure how helpful he'd be with this?
hydrangea: I think there are ways you could probably contact him, but...

[criminaljustice]

Boss: you're totally allowed to call me crazy
Boss: but keep in mind, I totally ran this idea by 99 first
Boss: ... actually that's probably not really comforting either
Boss: but anyway
Boss: if people are even worse or we don't have things figured out by tomorrow
Boss: i'm probably going to be looking into speaking with some demons
Boss: which is why i'm asking

[rollwillpowercheck]

hydrangea: I'm the last person who can call you crazy for that...
hydrangea: if things get that bad, then just let me know
hydrangea: I'll meet with you in person to show you how.

[criminaljustice]

Boss: thanks, Anubis
Boss: question: do our abilities work on them?

[rollwillpowercheck]

hydrangea: I have no idea
hydrangea: You'd have to be really fast to even try it, though
hydrangea: SK had complete control over my body the instant he wanted it.
