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. :)

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.

A small, Pyhrric victory?

[ He had to google "pyrrhic victory." ]

I wouldn't give up and call it that just yet, it may still work out. Maybe I can just wear these around everywhere I go until I drive Jim and the rest of Retrospec crazy.

Yes, perhaps that is a bit too morbid. We're not burning the bridge under ourselves just yet. And please don't. They're extremely blue. Seriously, think of the fashion statement.

You mean the fashion statement that Retrospec is full of crap? What's wrong with spreading that around?

You know, I suppose I can't really fault you for it. Just, if there are cameras around, you stand over there, and I will stand away from you? I prefer to think of the cloak as avante garde.

What do you think's gonna happen to me, a bunch of Retrospec ninjas will jump outta nowhere and kidnap me for wearing blue?

The Fashion Police are a real thing, you know.

Yeah? Well I bet it sucks to be them now that they can't wear their blue cop uniforms any more.

At least it's not white. Labor Day will come soon enough, after all. I think they might be in trouble at that point.

So they can wear black, big deal.

Someone's going to have to take up the emo look if I'm going to be too busy wearing this thing.

I think it could be argued that wearing a cloak in summer and black clothes qualifies as emo, so more people should be trying to wear it. Fits the colors in the sky.

Well, anything that anyone wears is probably going to be more emo than this getup.

But I'm willing to take that risk if it means sticking it to Retrospec.

I cannot argue with that. I cannot for the life of me imagine anything less emo than that, unless it was a red and green jumpsuit. But who would do that to themselves?

Santa's little elves, I bet. You think Christmas will be immune to this?

Besides I can probably find a way to make this dumb outfit work. If I replace the red tights with black, it might almost look halfway decent.

No, no, I think Christmas just got a lot less green if this persists. Will be interesting, to say the least.

Yeah, red and gray's gonna be real festive this year.

This just in: Retrospec's actually the ones behind the War on Christmas. They have been this whole time.

Let us hope that this is resolved in time.

Wait, doesn't the Christmas Shopping Season begin next week?

Nah, we're in Father's Day season now.

After that, though, we officially enter "Christmas in July" territory.

Very well. We have four weeks to fix this before it's awful for the poor, defenseless elves. Think we can manage it?

What do you think?

[ It sounds like his usual cocky challenging tone, but honestly, he's saying it with genuine doubt. He has no idea. Getting entire colors of the spectrum back? He can't even think of how to begin doing that. ]

That I'm dreaming of a gray Christmas?

That's the saddest sentence I've ever seen in my life.

At least make it a black Christmas.

Oh very well, I can do that, but doesn't black already get Friday for its holiday of choice?

Who says we can't have more than one black holiday?

True, there's Halloween too, but do you really want another holiday like Black Friday? Storming Wal-Mart doesn't seem worthy of celebration.
