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 its a ploy to win her back
now when hes like
"janet you have the most beautiful eyes in the whole world"
and shes like "oh jim you flatter"
he can be like "nah for real i took away blue only you have it will you marry me now"

on one hand someone willing to go to such length must have their tenacity admired.
on the other, no means no.

[sotenbori]

No kidding
Im all for being tenacious but not when its about something so fucking stupid
There's other fish in the sea, Jim

[erythristic]

speaking of tenacious, i did try your suggestions for handling my coworker.

[sotenbori]

id been fucking wondering how that went

and?????

[she switches for the sake of not wanting to air too much in public.]

it seems like you had the right idea. i managed to convince him to meet with me, and started talking, asking questions instead of getting angry. (that part was hard though, when i really just wanted him to fix things.) he ended up talking for more than a half hour, pouring out more information than i truly asked to know but summarized was that he procrastinated because the work intimidated him. then it was a messy rush at the end out of panic. i offered to be a line of communication for him, if he truly wanted to be better, and i think it'll help some.

aw, i'm so glad it went well! hopefully he actually means what he says and itll all be great from now on :)

[erythristic]

we'll see. i want to have hope, but at this point i'm simply glad he was willing to listen. if there's less work on my end, then everything was worth it.

[sotenbori]

and who knows maybe you really helped him out

[erythristic]

maybe. if it gets him to relax, then that's all i could ask. it's not as hard as he's been telling himself it is, after all, and even if he does decide to quit, he can say it with confidence now.

[sotenbori]

Either way you'd have one less problem

I don't think I ever asked -- what kind of place do you work?

[erythristic]

the medical examiner's office. it's on the lowest level of the hospital. that's my profession, actually.

[sotenbori]

damn thats badass
do you see all the awful murder victims bodies and stuff?

[ dont just??? ask her that?? o k a y ]

[erythristic]

i would, if this town really had murder. ♥ the crime rate's pretty low, though.

[she's flattered though...no one's called it badass before.]

[sotenbori]

yeah it's mostly just petty theft and shit

[ not that he knows anything about that!!! ]

[it may be a surprise to see the filter change, but her words will clarify.]

while a blessing to the citizens, it does make things occasionally very, very dull. i have to study to keep my skills for diagnosis away from rust and my mind away from tedium.

but it's terrible to say i kind of wish for a murder, isn't it?

/private/

[sotenbori]

i can kinda see where you're coming from
but murder isn't something you should wish for anyway

[erythristic]

i know. i don't really wish for it, i just think everything's wrapped up so neatly here. no mystery. you could get a coroner to do half of these.

i shouldn't complain. i'm probably reading too many mystery novels lately.

[sotenbori]

maybe we just gotta find you a mystery to solve

[erythristic]

one that isn't easy, though, or solving it won't take up enough time. something that really makes me think.

[sotenbori]

what about this shit with jim?

[erythristic]

that's many mysteries rolled into one. you have to go at them one at a time.

[sotenbori]

hm ok lets write them down
that helps me when im trying to problem solve
isolate the variables or whatever right?

[erythristic]

or finding the points of connection. the answer to one mystery can aid in solving the next.

[sotenbori]

yeah exactly
you wanna talk about it here
or should we go for coffee and make our list there?
