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.

I don't entirely agree. I think we care about knowing more about these three, such as where they are located. I will agree, though, that I am very very unconcerned about her eye color.

Janet has done nothing of note. Her existence or location is irrelevant. If I had to pick someone, it'd be Jim. Also that coder, who does not actually know how to code...

My eyes are brown, so I am unaffected. Although... if it's really that much of an issue, they make colored contacts for such unfortunate people.

[true_noir]

Jim first. Always Jim first. The one who is coding this app certainly comes to mind.

You do realize those colored contacts will be gray now, yes? Unless they're willing to change their colors.

[godcards]

It's only two colors that are missing from the spectrum. If gray bothers them that badly, they can switch to anything else. Brown, red, gold, purple... There are plenty of options as long as they seek them out. It's one thing to be upset, but another to be so incompetent you cannot practice basic problem solving.

[true_noir]

You, sir, are a very practical individual. I can't even be angry at you. Coping while finding a solution is better than moping around. Thank you for that little kick in the rear.

I feel a little better, actually.

[godcards]

I'm not here to motivate anyone, I simply say what I know is right. In the end, this really is over something petty... The other changes I could understand the outcry, even if it was annoying. This is just about colors. There's plenty more. People are so quick to fall into hysterics.

[true_noir]

Provided plants still grow normally. It's an important distinction, since the green is what gives them the ability to turn light into energy and live.

[godcards]

I don't sympathize with plants. If they die, they die.

It's mostly concrete here anyway.

[true_noir]

Yes, well, the cows that you turn into burgers depend on that green stuff to survive, so sympathize or not, you will need some green things.

Poinsettias are quite poisonous after all, even if they aren't green.

[godcards]

I don't like meat. Yet another way I'm unaffected.
Before you get high and mighty, I'm willing to wait to see if the food market crashes due to the color change... In the meantime, I have plenty more to eat, even if it's the wrong color.

Besides, when humans get desperate, they get creative.

[true_noir]

In theory? I suspect it's just the color. It's just good to be aware that one of these days they might actually do something that really harms us.

The goal would be to stop this first.

[godcards]

Hard to stop it once it's already happened... but I see your point.

I await they day Jim unleashes mass destruction. Rather, his ideals of "mass destruction." I'm sure it would be interesting.

[true_noir]

Mass destruction of Retrospec is a preferred alternative, personally. That said, I fully expect him to try one day.

[godcards]

Like it'd be that easy.
Anyway, knowing him, it wouldn't even be actual destruction... everything would turn to cardboard or something. He's downgraded from a threat to more of a nuisance now... especially given last month when he was bemoaning his lack of entertainment. Destruction would mean the end for his entertainment as well, after all.

[true_noir]

And while he is like a child with a magnifying glass, it's more to annoy us than destroy us, so presumably you are correct. Hopefully it stays that way at the least.
