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.

Chloe Bouchard Wait, your ears?
Chloe Bouchard What do you mean your ears?
Chloe Bouchard I thought it was the colors that were wrong?

[cattack]

Cleo Ritter My ears are changed.
Cleo Ritter I don't know anything about the colors.
Cleo Ritter But if they insist on altering my body like this, I will put the visions they have given me to use at them.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard How are they changed exactly?
Chloe Bouchard I know people have had drastic alterations in the past.
Chloe Bouchard Would you forgive me for asking for an image if you have it?

[cattack]

[She just sends a private message to Chloe, then.

The picture has the top of her head, eyebrows up only. And those are definitely cat ears on her head.]

[true_noir]

[... they're adorable, Cleo, but she's not going to say that.]

Chloe Bouchard Oh dear, that is a great deal more drastic.
Chloe Bouchard At least your eyes are not likewise changed.
Chloe Bouchard If it is any consolation, people will pretend it is normal soon.
Chloe Bouchard And... a cap will cover that.

[cattack]

Cleo Ritter My hair is not long enough to cover the lack of my real ears.
Cleo Ritter It is rather obvious, and a cap does not cover that far.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I am going to introduce you to the concept of a hoodie.
Chloe Bouchard They aren't all unattractive.

[She knew someone with horns, so she might have picked up a few tricks to offer.]

[cattack]

Cleo Ritter I own several.
Cleo Ritter But it's June.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Ah yes, that, I suppose you have a point.
Chloe Bouchard I've gotten too used to wearing this cloak regardless of weather.
Chloe Bouchard If it is any consolation, they do not look horrible, even if I am sure it must be frightening to feel that kind of change.

[cattack]

Cleo Ritter I'm glad, but I would be less upset if I wasn't clearly being mocked.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard It is all that Jim seems capable of doing, mocking us.
Chloe Bouchard I would say you get used to it, but you don't.
Chloe Bouchard Unfortunately, I don't think they will change back anytime soon.
Chloe Bouchard My hair has been purple since Mardi Gras.

[Fair warning, Cleo, next time she sees you, she's totally going to try and scratch them.]

[cattack]

[Cleo will get so mad.

but you should do it anyway.]

Cleo Ritter It wasn't dyed?

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I will admit that I got drunk that night, so I thought it was for almost a month.
Chloe Bouchard Until I found that there were no brown roots, and a doctor checked them.
Chloe Bouchard My hair is actually purple now.

[Scritch scritch]

[cattack]

Cleo Ritter I can hardly blame you. The more I learn of this, the more I wish to get drunk too.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I actually dumped all of my wine down the drain a few days ago.
Chloe Bouchard Well, except for a very expensive gift I put somewhere safe.
Chloe Bouchard
I don't trust myself right now with alcohol, not to overdo it.

[cattack]

Cleo Ritter Again, it seems understandable.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard If it were simply the colors, I think I would have been overdramatic.
Chloe Bouchard But my girlfriend of three years broke up with me.
Chloe Bouchard It's best not to get drunk when that is still fresh.
Chloe Bouchard I'd probably end up doing something stupid, wake up in a strange bed, regretting life choices or the like.

[cattack]

Cleo Ritter I see.
Cleo Ritter You have my sympathies.
Cleo Ritter Was it related to Retrospec?

[She is... not the best at talking to people, and doesn't necessarily realize why this is a bad thing to ask.]

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Yes and no. The stress here didn't help, but an ocean probably did the most damage, as did two years of long-distance relationship.
Chloe Bouchard The stress from this nonsense simply broke the camel's back,
since she knows nothing of it.
Chloe Bouchard "We've grown apart," was her reason. I guess it's a little true.

[cattack]

Cleo Ritter I see.
Cleo Ritter I'm very sorry.

[what else does she even say here....]

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard It's ok.
Chloe Bouchard Well, no, it's not, but you aren't responsible.
Chloe Bouchard And I will live. What does the song say? "The heart will go on?"
Chloe Bouchard I really hate that song.

[cattack]

Cleo Ritter I can imagine.
Cleo Ritter I know very few songs, anyway.
Cleo Ritter But I'm sure you'll find someone.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Am I awful that there is someone I'm interested in right now?
Chloe Bouchard Does it make me disloyal to have someone I might ask, even though I was with Simone for years?
Chloe Bouchard I don't quite know how to feel about that. It almost feels worse.

[cattack]

Cleo Ritter I do not know.
Cleo Ritter To be honest, I have never had interest in anyone in that way.
Cleo Ritter But it has been some time, as you said.
Cleo Ritter If this person makes you happy, then there is nothing wrong with it.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I'm sorry, it's just been on my mind.
Chloe Bouchard I was feeing guilty lately about even thinking of it.
Chloe Bouchard But at the same time we've been away from each other for a long time.
Chloe Bouchard I have to think about it some.
Chloe Bouchard Don't want this to be a rebound.
