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.

No info on that at all yet, Yuri. Sorry. I will admit that, on the same subject, I am glad to see you are still around.

I don't like the idea of people I've met thinking gray skies are normal. Call me crazy.

"Around" on Retrospec. Ugh, this is stupid, we don't know enough and that hasn't been getting better.

idk Think of them as people really used to England or Seattle or something.

[true_noir]

It's been getting better slowly, but very very slowly. I don't like how slowly, but our hands are tied a bit.

Very funny. You've found a way for me to feel more sympathy for them. The very idea of being used to anything British is worthy of some level of sympathy.

[catsudon]

How many months has it been like this?

Is this the French vs English thing in live time?

[true_noir]

We are approaching six long months, though it feels like an eternity, and has just gotten to feeling longer.

Always. I'm quite the french elitist, which is to say I'm French. We're all elitist.

[catsudon]

Is there any country that doesn't have it's people feeling some kind of pride for being from there, really?

[true_noir]

Luxembourg, but nobody really remembers they exist until someone spends a fortune to rent the country out. Have you been alright, other than your eyes?

[catsudon]

I'm alive so things have been fine. Busy, but summer's about to hit, so things will get busier without school in the way.

( he's ignoring the fact his eyes have changed by merit of everyone apparently losing the ability to detect colours. HAHAHA WHAT EYE PROBLEM at least Vitya also has pale eyes now TAKE THAT )

You? The memories being as jolting?

[true_noir]

It's good to hear, though most students have less to do during the summer, I had thought. Lots of work for you, I take it?

Fewer memories, but considerably more disturbing. The last one was especially bad. Ended up having a fight with my girlfriend because of the stress and we broke up. It has not been my best two weeks, honestly.

[catsudon]

More work and auditions etc.

Oh. Shit. That sucks. I'm sorry?

[true_noir]

The real work begins, in other words.

I... can't be mad at her. We're an ocean away, and this has been driving me to distraction. It's too much to ask of her. I just feel more alone, and it hurts.

[catsudon]

Exactly.

( he has nothing to say to any of that. being lonely sucks. it's also somewhat unavoidable in his opinion; and he shakes his head, settling on typing what's true in his eyes. )

It hurts less eventually.

[true_noir]

It becomes a struggle of trying to decide if you need time alone, to figure yourself out, or if you want to try again because after years with someone you're so used to being in a relationship, and then you feel guilty for shaming their memory, wonder if you were already ending it in your mind before, and this contributed to the final straws.

Ugh, it's easy to overthink this, isn't it?

[catsudon]

Okay Chloe I've personally seen like no relationship work out longterm I have no opinion on this that doesn't lead to "people can let you down, you either let it drag you down or you fight tooth and nail so it doesn't" so...

[true_noir]

And I am something of a hopeless romantic who just thinks you need to meet the right girl... or guy, whichever you prefer. Still, a little bit of realism isn't bad to hear right now.

I guess, it doesn't matter. Do what I want, in the end. Better to ask forgiveness than to worry about if I 'should' do one thing or another.

[catsudon]

I suggest two people: Karkat and Anya.

These are hopeless romantics.

These are who I suggest you speak with. To. At? Idk but it might help

[true_noir]

Karkat and I spoke. It was helpful. I'm just dithering a bit in the meantime, and I usually end up teasing him when we speak so the advice tends to get interrupted.

But I might ask him again sometime. Thank you.
