retrospec | (no subject)

Whoa...the post settings from the admin accounts are really different than the normal accounts.

I'm sure you're expecting Jo or Maury or one of the others but those are all people who are way smarter and way more qualified than me, and those people are working overtime to trace down a signal we keep picking up on. Not sure what it means yet, but I'm hoping for the best. We thought we were able to isolate the problem when the other regions appeared on the current layer but it's something deeper.

But hey, isn't that what we're all trying to do here? Hope for the best.

Call me curious, but what's your favorite color? I've been teaching myself color theory lately. Bonus points if you say "why", too.

is everyone really that eager to talk about their favorite colors as if anyone else cares?

congratulations on distracting everyone from the ominous "problem" you apparently failed to isolate, i suppose.

[Not that he expects Carlisle will read this.]

People get bored.

This is at least something to do.

are you so devoid of imagination you can't find something to do other than talk about colors?

if one of them had disappeared again, i might understand. it seems like a waste of time as is.

No. I could do anything else besides this, but I find it entertaining. And honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this was some sort of ill omen.

i see. so you're simple-minded.

[He's really salty right now.]

these posts are always ill omens. the only uncertainty about it is what the omen is actually about.

i'm gonna put you down for a 'grumpy grey'.

what, are you going to make a mosaic of everyone's favorite colors.

i was really just going for a laugh
but that's not a bad idea!

don't actually waste your time on that.

you're still a student, aren't you? don't you have homework to do? exams?

might as well do something before the world ends

it might be the end of the world and you're fine wasting your time on colors.

[Unimpressed. At least go sky diving or something.]

Hey, I own a bar.

I've got it covered.

congratulations. i'm sure your last moments will be slightly less miserable than everyone else's.

Sounds like it's making you feel blue.

don't even start.

[NOT ALSO PUNS. The color talk was bad enough alone.]

Fine, but orange you glad to at least get it out of the way?

lostapprentice - 2018-05-07 08:50 (UTC) - Expand

We can't stop whatever is happening from happening.

What's your favorite color?

if i waste energy answering that i'm no better than the rest of you.

[He's fighting against The Man, clearly.]

Don't you waste more energy by arguing?

so what else is new?

if you're expecting anything different from retrospec by this point i don't know what to tell you

from the company? absolutely not.

from those of us they've trapped in this nightmare? i'm disappointed, though i suppose i should have known better.

you definitely should have known better

there's not much else to do when we can't do anything ourselves

people are dumb what can i say
but also it's not like we can actually do anything about the problem rn anyways
i'm sure some shit's gonna happen in a day or 2 and then we can all be scrambling to figure out wtf is going on just like always

maybe not. that doesn't mean the time isn't better spent preparing somehow. making sure everything is where it's meant to be. practicing with whatever skills they have. anything but talking about colors would be more helpful, surely.

colors will probably end up being relevant SOMEhow given that carlisle mentioned them first
so who knows maybe something about it will end up being useful
i doubt it but you never know right
