Playing game (Grisna? Something like that). Random checkpoint NPC needs talking to. Talk to 'em, they say to send along the regards of Nelson the Redbeard, Former Pirate. Who is the NPC.

They have purple hair. And no beard.

... I... I guess that's one way to throw off authorities?

Not... really? Stuff like that only occasionally has major changes in pattern over the course of a single year -- '14 data is going to be about as good as '15 data, and the trend up to that point is going to be pretty solid to build a premise off of.

And so far as I'm aware, there's been no major changes indicative of a reversal, so the lack of '15 data probably isn't going to mean all that much. Mexican civil war's still about as bad, US isn't in much of a different place, most of the areas further south are about as as as they were (and no, that wasn't a typo or grammatical mistake)... so far as I can recall southland news, if anything the pressures to head back are marginally higher, on the net -- BRIC's a thing, and economic signs for those areas are... well, arguably better than they were a decade ago, anyway.

... also, when you're dealing with large scale statistics, especially with subjects as difficult to track as the one in question, you're almost always going to be lagging a year or two (or three, or...) behind. Doesn't make observations made off the data particularly wrong.

And I didn't need to know your immediate response to that was thinking about mainiac fingering their instrument. Get. Room.

... wasn't there a club for a while? That... AD CDR weapon. Think it used to build into black cleaver or somethin'?

Are these new ones something we can hit people with?

Yup. I've had it with fried chocolate as the shell, iirc. Pretty good. Not really that different from ice cream with that kinda' solid chocolate coating, if my memory's working right (which it may not be, it's been a fair few years), but still different.

Step X when experimenting with food: See what happens when you serve it actively burning.

Turns out ice cream flambe is apparently... alright? Or something. I've never actually had it, but it's a thing people make.

Eh, if Iwi/Mini or someone(s) else wants to keep the game pushing, I'd be okay with it, m'self. I'd also dreadfully love to be lazy(er) for a week, though
