LOADING...OVERFLOW

Hello Users,

For those of you who are new: Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options.

For all, new and old: Please be advised that should you go above and beyond the call of duty for Mr. Halloway's little game in the coming days, there may be a reward granted or information given. 100% completion would be the goal for that, should you have an interest. If you have no interest in the matter, please feel free to carry on as usual.

R&D will not be handling further communiques for this month, or possibly the next few months. This should not, of course, have any impact on your usage of Retrospec™.

The first milestone for the second of the colors lost has been met, and accordingly we have diverted resources to fix what could be fixed. R&D has alerted me that a bigger loss may occur in the near future, and I would advise you to be careful, though I am afraid neither they nor I can be much more detailed than that.

Finally, I would like to extend congratulations to those of you who have now reached your sixth month. We hope you will continue to accept our assistance in these trying times.

Thank you for your patience,

Janet Wiseman
Human Resources
Retrspec Incorporated

As of this post green fruits and flowers of this color regain their pigment. (Note: this is not all plants. This is just for flowers and fruits!)

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. Any new characters will find that the first photo they upload is locked as their profile picture for the rest of the month. Characters who have been in game since February will find their profiles now have a 6 months badge. It does absolutely nothing of note.

This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

I guess so. But they were so beautiful before! And the aquarium used to be so vibrant and blue! Now it's gray...
I'm worried about the fish, though. Do these strange changes apply to them, too? Do the fish find all this normal?

Their behvaiour at the aquarium didn't change, so they must think it's normal... But fish are very intelligent! Well, some fish, anyway.
And for your information, most species of fish *can* see color. Some can even see in the ultraviolet range.

that's kind of cool actually
you'd think the water would get in their eyes and they'd have trouble seeing

Fish are super cool!
Fish eyes are suited for underwater life. Some have specialized membranes to keep the salt out or, in the case of deep sea fish, have adapted to be able to see in near total darkness.

i guess that makes sense since the water is so deep down there that the light doesn't even reach it
honestly to go that deep down sounds pretty scary i have a ton of respect for divers

Yeah, diving can be pretty dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. The change in water pressure can cause serious damage to your lungs if you're not careful.
But there's fish that can survive even deeper than where humans can safely dive to. They've only been observed thanks to robots and that kind of thing, and even then... they say that we've only explored a fraction of what's really down there.
