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.

i think they could move it to a more suitable habitat than your bedroom, or wherever you're keeping it
but good for it
it's been half an hour and i'm starting to forget what blue looks like

[feistytrader]

He's been following me around wherever I go, actually.
Not without weird looks from everyone, but still.
I can send you a picture, if you want? Since he's blue.

[appraiser]

like a duckling that's imprinted on the first thing it sees?
i'd like a picture. with you in it too? i'll make it my phone's lock screen so i can see it every day

[feistytrader]

Something like that. It's hard to tell since it doesn't do much with its face.

[But he'll comply and take a picture of the two of them; it's pretty easy to get Totodile to sit on his lap and take a selfie with it while holding out a peace sign. ...Strangely enough, despite not doing anything with its face, the tiny crocodile emulates his hand gesture pretty much immediately.

Well. There you go, Ryoji.]

He might be smarter than I'm giving him credit for.

[appraiser]

oh! you guys are cute
have you given him a name?

[feistytrader]

Not yet. I'm not very good with names.

[...He named himself Silver, he's absolutely horrible at names.]

Got any ideas?

[appraiser]

blue

[ they can match..... ]

[feistytrader]

Blue, huh? That sounds
Actually, I don't think that's a very good idea.
I guess I knew someone named Blue.

[Or that... Goes by Blue, kind of like how he goes by Silver? Maybe? Well, either way-]

[appraiser]

should i ask about the
"I guess"
or
"I knew"?

[feistytrader]

In the hallucinomemories.
Who goes around calling themselves Blue?

[No sense of irony whatsoever with this one.]

[appraiser]

sometimes when people blog and want to keep others anonymous
they use nicknames like Blue
to distinguish people by favorite color
or mood, i guess

[feistytrader]

Maybe this girl was my internet friend or something, then.
I hope she just really liked blue instead of being down in the dumps.
Although I guess blue can be calming, too.

[appraiser]

oh cute
an internet friend group with color names

[feistytrader]

I don't know about an internet group. Past me doesn't seem to be into friends.
It's probably more of a codename, but I can pretend.
Or grab you and my other friends and make you all pick colors.

[appraiser]

i call dibs on sunshine yellow
i wonder why past you didn't want friends?
or were people just scared away by your baby crocodile?

[feistytrader]

No way, he's adorable.
Past life-me was kind of intense, I guess.
I guess most twelve year olds are intense and take themselves way too seriously, though.

[appraiser]

he's adorable
and also a crocodile
i forget what i was like when i was twelve... i think i wanted to be an author of some sort

[feistytrader]

[...God, he was a shitty twelve year old. But at least he knew how to have fun... Sort of.]

What kind of stories did you want to write?

[appraiser]

hmm i liked listening to folk stories, and i think i entertained the idea of retelling them in a more modern, universal context so that more people could understand them across different ages and cultures

[ ryoji as a twelve-year-old was a nerd i guess ]

[feistytrader]

[Nerd!]

If you ever pick it back up, let me know.
You seem like you'd write good stories.
I'd want to read it because you made it anyway.

[appraiser]

the content is what makes it interesting, regardless of whether i'm a good writer
but thank you for your confidence
