They very clearly aren't.

[longwei2go]

adjust your screen

[truedetective]

Contact lenses? With natural color correction, they are unmistakably purple.

[longwei2go]

ive had blue eyes all my life

[truedetective]

And yet, in the picture you posted, your eyes are...?

This isn't hard.

[longwei2go]

purple
right
its not hard
its fucking IMPOSSIBLE

[magcat]

what's wrong with the picture? You look really pretty

[ as you can tell, she probably didn't read the entire post until---- ]

oh... your eyes aren't blue but they're really beautiful! I don't really get it?

[longwei2go]

doesnt matter how they look
it matters that its WRONG

[divine_braid]

I dunno... I think it looks kinda cool.

[Blue, purple... Don's eyes got mistaken for both all the time. He didn't really pay enough attention to figure it out. He always just said blue when people asked him.]

[longwei2go]

way to miss the point bro

[divine_braid]

No. I mean, I get it? Kind of? You're saying your eyes changed colors, which is definitely weird. But, it could have been worse? They could have been like orange or something.

[longwei2go]

yeah i guess
sorry im just trying really hard not to get pissed off
more than i already am

because theres another problem

[divine_braid]

Nah, it's cool.

What else is there?

[longwei2go]

you wouldnt believe me
hell i dont believe me

[divine_braid]

Okay... all the world's horses turned into giant chickens last month. Try me.

[longwei2go]

thats a good point
this is nothing compared to mad chocobo disease

my eyes glow red when i get super pissed off

[Togusa's message starts out with the address of a medical clinic.]

If you have the chance, I'd recommend talking to Dr. Trevelyan. He's a good man, discreet, and I doubt if he'd even charge you for the visit if it's in relation to this Retrospec mystery.

How do you even quantify 'eye color change' medically?

I'm sorry that this is happening.

[longwei2go]

cant say the thought of seeing a doc excites me
for any reason
ever
got enough of them in my life right now
but if a bunch of people are in on it guess i could suck it up

[standalonehuman]

If it's not something that's going to give you comfort, then skip it.
His advice helped me out, when something weird happened around the Retrospec building, and he could tell me that there was nothing wrong with me.
But not everyone will feel better from the same things.

[longwei2go]

you went there too
did they lock you in

[standalonehuman]

The first time, yeah.
I went back a few days ago, and it was all different.

[Attached is a picture taken from his phone. At first, it might seem like a totally different lobby. The elevator is gone, and the walls have a number of glass tubes with different-colored stones in them, all at different levels, as if counting something. There is also a large sign that reads 'Do Not Touch.' Three guesses what Togusa did.]

[longwei2go]

two orders of chicken fries onion rings chicken sandwich and two pies

[...]

god dammmit not again

[magcat]

but

is it really that bad? :(

[longwei2go]

what are you saying
its not natural
period
if you woke up one day with a neon green tongue
wouldnt you be mad

[truedetective]

So you're claiming your eye color somehow changed overnight?
