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.

and what about the rest of her? will he find a way to remove her eyes but keep her alive, his dearest love? of course, without her vision, she might be more dependent on him, which is truly his plan...

[notbunaga]

listen as fascinating as i find this kind of macabre stuff in fiction

i do not want to imagine her as a collection of organs suspended in a glass case he pumps nutrients into via tubes irl

[erythristic]

do you consider it beyond this mr. halloway?

[notbunaga]

no
and that's the real problem

[erythristic]

okay that's very true.
if janet sees this, i hope she gives us a sign that she's alright.

i don't like how much power jim has.

[notbunaga]

maybe
there's always the possibility she could be worse though

[erythristic]

she hasn't gone and swapped out species so she has points above jim to start with.

[notbunaga]

tbh chocobos > horses

but that being said she could've told him to do it
id rather treat all of their employees with caution

[erythristic]

of course, we don't even know what her personality is like.
i'm just more inclined to look a touch more favorably on someone who is patronizing all of us in public.

why have we only heard from jim, come to think of it?

[notbunaga]

well
that's the other thing, isn't it?
there's noone in the building
(that we could find)
and we only ever deal with jim

who's to say there is a building full of people?
maybe he took over
or maybe there was never anyone but him all along

[erythristic]

so jim is instead a completely evil mastermind posing as only an employee of the company he made up to confuse us from his convoluted schemes?

who's to say jim is even real? or a person?

[notbunaga]

...i mean
that's entirely possible
not everyone who's been dragged into this mess was human in their past life
who's to say he is?

[erythristic]

likelihood of him being an alien?

[notbunaga]

it's up there
i think the main potential culprits are usually

- alien
- advanced a.i
- demon
- some human idiot who doesnt deserve to be as smart as he is

maybe in that order?
the first two are tied

[erythristic]

i could believe any of those, except the part about demons. aren't demons supposed to be corrupting human souls and humanity, not running a company?

i'd say they aren't real, too, but i don't want jim getting ideas.

[notbunaga]

it's hard to predict what demons would or wouldnt do if they were real since they arent

or at the very least the idea of them being real has been impossible up until now

so my opinion is...they could technically do whatever they want

[erythristic]

but what value would there be in a demon running a smartphone chat app? at least make an addictive game to sell your soul over.

[notbunaga]

that's true
and you know if that's what a demon would do on earth, im pretty sure a lot of them already exist
and I've already sold my soul to a few

[erythristic]

that means when it comes time to collect you'll have a few demons fighting over your soul and who gets to take it. providing you with an escape plan while they bicker for who knows how long.

[notbunaga]

i think that was the plot of an american comic once...jack costanza? the demon detective guy

he ended up with immortality
maybe i will too

[erythristic]

maybe. or maybe an angel will swoop in and pick up the soul in the meantime.

[notbunaga]

i gave up on heaven a long time ago, grell
ive not exactly held myself to a virtuous standard

[erythristic]

causing demons grief has to be points in your favor.

[notbunaga]

true
im not really interested in prostrating myself in front of god forever though
i wonder how long it'd take to get myself promoted to be in charge
