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.

Black. No reason. Cool that you're asking about this and burying the fuck outta that lede again. Lead? Pretty sure it's lede. Whatever.

Any guarantee you're not just gonna take away whatever we say we like? Fits your whole fuckin' pattern from last month.

You're not gonna answer. Why do I even ask.

[aintjustaweapon]

Is this where we pretend you didn't pick black because of how good you look in it?

[hauntedsavior]

Everyone looks good in black. That's why it's such a good color. Just seems like the easiest to call my favorite.

[aintjustaweapon]

Some people look okay in black and some people look good in black.
You are in the second group.

So are you really sayin' you just don't have a favorite color?

[selfloving]

It's lede, yeah.

It sounds like things haven't been kind to you lately.

[Which is a way, aloof as it is, of asking if it's something Anna wants to talk about.]

[hauntedsavior]

Shit, is it that obvious? Must be pretty bad if it's getting your attention.

[she starts typing something a few different times and nothing comes out right.]

There is way too much to get into without making your head spin. Been a wild month. Couple months. Year so far.

[selfloving]

I've been working on my observational skills.

That sounds par for the course, but it still has to be overwhelming. But I'm pretty good at juggling multiple ideas, you know. You can try me.

We don't have to talk about it here. In fact, maybe it's better if we don't.

[servileness]

Those with enough awareness will take note.

What's wrong, Anna?

[hauntedsavior]

Lots of shit, if we're being honest here.

I'm sure you had an eventful month. They gave me wings. You may have been able to guess that I don't have them anymore.

[servileness]

Why did you like the wings so much?

From what I saw, those were more like a side effect of being possessed.

[heiroglyphs]

That's not creative enough for them.
Instead they'll make everything our favorite color so we start to hate it and become even more miserable than we already are.

[hauntedsavior]

Love to see 'em try. We're millennials, dammit, we know how to deal with seeing the same thing over and over again for years at a time if we gotta.

[heiroglyphs]

I'm afraid I don't follow.
Why are we used to seeing the same things over and over again?

[frostythehitman]

it doesn't really make a difference what we say
something crappy is going to happen either way
what did they do last month

[hauntedsavior]

Gave me wings and took them away. Sounds like a fuckin' metaphor but that's literally what happened.

Sorry I don't go around looking like a badass angel of death all the time.

[frostythehitman]

come on
you HAD to have known those couldn't be permanent

[liberal_arts]

Your answer is unsurprising, but while I do dread something on the horizon, I don't think it's just one color that will be gone, like times past.

[hauntedsavior]

That so? What's your theory, then?

[liberal_arts]

The removal of color has already happened before, so I'm prepared to be wrong and frustrated, but I'm predicting either an over-saturation of color, or the removal entirely, leaving only white.

I don't think I'll be as devastated as last time, either way.

[argone]

What got taken?

[hauntedsavior]

Wings.

I had wings. You saw them.

[argone]

From one of those spirits, right.

You thought they were yours?

[mercurio]

just go with the flow
at this point

[hauntedsavior]

Guess I gotta, huh.

Oh hey, you're the one Freya voted most likely to accidentally shoot me in the chest.

[mercurio]

woah what when was this??
i'm pretty okay with my guns now!
