Hey, Users! This month's wikihow is right over here. In other news, don't you just love our logo colors? Such a nice shade of blue. I'm pretty fond of it myself! You know, Janet has blue eyes. But then, I guess you guys don't know anyone with eyes that color anymore, right? Whoops. Anyway, see you next month! Well, some of you anyway. :) Jim Halloway Research & Development Retrspec Incorporated As discussed on the monthly plot post the colors blue and green are now gray - except for the blue on the retrospec application logo and their building sign, although no NPC will be capable of seeing the color in these places. As stated in the plot post, NPCs will also seem to be completely unaware that the colors blue and green ever existed. Oops. 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. Last's month's application round characters are now capable of changing their profile pictures.

Hitori Togusa ..........
Hitori Togusa Employees of Retrospec are immune to the changes. Why didn't I see that before?
Hitori Togusa And these changes? They're not accidents. Then what's your damn game?
Hitori Togusa If you want to know what this month's wikihow is about, just drop me a line, I'm glad to share the wealth.

Tuuri Hotakainen Has anyone found anything else out about them? Figured out how to read them right, etc.?

[protegge]

what the fuck my guy

[thesettingsun]

I don't know how to tell you this, and I'm freaking out too, but
your shirt probably looks better like this.

[sotenbori]

Damn Jim
Stepping it up with the passive aggressive comments

Guess things aren't going well with Janet afterall.

[protegge]

i wouldnt date him either
he ruined my shirt

[destiny_key]

i dont know how this stuff keeps happening or how you took away actual colors

but this is definitely the worst thing yet

and i almost got eaten by a duck last month

[complementing]

oh no Sora...your eyes...

(╥﹏╥)

all of the pretty blue eyes from your side of the family...

[stopbleeding]

GIVE ME BACK MY HAIR ASSHOLE

[appraiser]

retrospect took your hair?
it grows back

[frisyr]

You're finally letting me change my profile picture but now I have to choose from a selfie roll where my eyes are the wrong color? You guys are sadists! S A D I S T S! Delete your app!!

[skald]

It changed your eyes too??? Oh no!

OH NO HAVE YOU SEEN HOW UGLY YOUR FLAG LOOKS

[flowrite]

Fiacre Lachance You bastard how are you doing this?
Fiacre Lachance How can you sit there and laugh at putting us through this??

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard He is always laughing, like some wicked little gargoyle.
Chloe Bouchard I like to think his karmic debt is ramping up.
Chloe Bouchard But first we have to find a way to repay him, do we not?

[glaciers]

What do you have against green and blue?

[digthefuzz]

maybe he's green with envy

[lingeringwill]

lms if you're having a panic attack and your eyes are fucked up and gray and everything is fucked up and gray and fuck fuck fuck what the fuck

[appraiser]

terra, are you having a panic attack?
calm down
breathe

[godcards]

Literally no one cares about Janet.
For once I can't believe the changes are inconsequential... for me, anyway.

Although that last line is rather ominous.

[appraiser]

i care about janet
also hi, malik
i'm here to ask about your favorite colors if they're neither blue nor green

[roseblooms]

...Interesting that you say she "has" instead of she "had".

[originallutece]

Suggesting there's at least a few people who not only remember the colors, but can still see them.

That being said, that might not be true. You and I still have blue and green eyes, after all. Simply because we can't register the color doesn't mean it's not there. The hues are the same, have you noticed? So perhaps this Janet still does have blue eyes, present tense, but that doesn't mean Jim or whomever can see it.

[sivard]

Okay, how the hell can the CEO of an app company change the color of my eyes?

This is creeping me out.

[scythegun]

The less you think about it the better, probably. Though I'm never going to get used to this new eye color!

[it's like two shades lighter than his old one, shut up jaeger]

[ghostdrives]

Thanks OH SO MUCH.

I always wanted to have gray hair.

Thanks jerks.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard But wait, that meant your hair was another color before?
Chloe Bouchard Did you dye it?

[daemonized]

"How To Scan A QR Code" is a rather pointless tutorial if the codes don't register in the first place.

Also, what a childish man. What did blue and green do to deserve your infantile behavior, Jim?

[originallutece]

They're fairly popular colors. It might be a case of trying to be as spiteful in as large a range as possible.

[feistytrader]

Jokes on you, my eyes are already gray.

[And it's all good for a moment until Silver considers it further, and-]


wait i take it back did you take the green or blue out of my baby alligator or something wtf

[glaciers]

Baby what?

[trappingheart]

LISTEN THIS ISN'T FUNNY are you fucking nuts?!?! how the fuck am i supposed to paint a seascape if the ocean is gonna be fucking gray this is an offense to artists everywhere?!?! i swear to god the tiny shit was one thing but this is just way too far

[feistytrader]

You could do a cool seascape with sunset colors, I guess.

[Who the hell just takes away colors. Why. What's the point.]

[originallutece]

Far more importantly than your idiotic taunts: why are we still able to see colors like purple? Surely the removal of blue would simply render them red, and yet they're as vivid to anything.

[frisyr]

Are you really going to argue with them about being consistent with their science when they broke science to do this in the first place

[seizedtheday]

Actual colors are gone and all you have to say is whoops???

What sort of mad science are you doing!?

[sivard]

That's a damn good question.

This is ridiculous. And should be impossible.

[secare]

WHAT
WHAT
AHWR

WHAT DID YOU DO
ITS GREY
YOU MADE SHIT GREY?????
MY EYES?
MY SHIRT????

DSGDSG

GREY!!!

( he's not panicked, you're panicked! )

[glaciers]

You too?

[scarlet_devil]

Émilie Écarlate And now they're taking things from us.

[fashionable_yapping]

Nina Écarlate My eyes're no longer green.

[divine_braid]

Donald Maxwell Uuuuuhhhhh... right. You got a problem with other people having blue?
Donald Maxwell Cuz you kinda changed my eye color...
Donald Maxwell

[digthefuzz]

dude not you too!!

[youraffection]

Yosuke Hanamura shared a photo. 6/1 near Viea Village

WTF IS THIS??????

[glaciers]

The newest in the weird changes, I guess.

[tokencanadian]

My eyes are grey now.
I really can't believe it, but you've somehow done something WORSE then last month.
Who steals a color?!
Who does that?!

[true_noir]

I recall an old cartoon about pixies or sprites once who stole color. Or was it gremlins? I forget. It was a children's piece.

But he really is basically an overgrown child. I am sorry about your eyes though. You have a lovely shade of green.

[notbunaga]

Akinobu Taira okay in my experience these guys never acknowledge we're here or anything so there's no sense in complaining about this
Akinobu Taira so im just gonna say it
Akinobu Taira i get the feeling he's eventually going to steal janet's eyes and keep them in a container or something. just going on my gut instinct re: weirdos here

[erythristic]

and what about the rest of her? will he find a way to remove her eyes but keep her alive, his dearest love? of course, without her vision, she might be more dependent on him, which is truly his plan...

[splinten]

This calls for an update.

First they came for the horses, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a horse.

Then they came for the basic citruses, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a basic citrus.

Then they came for the cool hues, and I did not speak out—
Because I am an asshole who hates really awesome colors.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

--Samuel L. Jackson, February 2017, revised June 2017

[notbunaga]

is this just going to keep getting longer and longer every time they do this
