Hello! First of all, Maurice would like me to tell you all that he's locking anyone who messes about with putting dangerous things in the mailbox to send to him which don't belong for at least a week (please don't send him dangerous things!!!!) and would like me to remind you it's for things you got sent only, please! Secondly, we've managed to fix one of the colors entirely, although one is still on the fritz. We'll keep working on it! By the way, is anyone going to do secret Santa games? I always like those, although I've only ever done them with other employees. Last year I got Ronnie. He's soooo hard to shop for but I think he liked the cane I got him? And Mr. Baroque got me! I'm not really sure he knows how to shop for girls. Or people who don't only want weapons. But the thought is what counts!

SEE GUYS I TOTALLY TOLD YOU IT WAS CHRISTMAS TIME
JOANNE TOTALLY AGREES WITH ME

also omg my eyes are blue again yessssss!!!

[redarm]

joanne agreeing with you only makes me more against early christmas.

[tire]

IM SUPPOSED 2 B THINKING ABOUT XMAS ALREADY?!?!?!?

[chuusai]

Don't worry, we have to get through Thanksgiving first

[fiddlestick]

Please listen and don't mess with the mailbox!!
My cousin and I got sent to the lion's habitat at the zoo after he kicked it.
It's not worth it!


Oh, and I guess my staff's green now. Thanks?

[blind_badass]

You did what now?

[coinflipped]

I think Secret Santa is pretty fun, at least as long as someone who isn't an asshole draws your name.

At least now's a good time to be thinking about it. I mean, Christmas is still over a month away, but time sure flies. Also it's easier to budget gifts with more time. With the green being back in the plants, it's a good reminder. Maybe I'll get a small Christmas tree for my shop.

Anyway, I'm glad to have my blue eyes back. Kinda got tired looking into the mirror and feeling confused why things didn't seem right.

[complementing]

apparently the media is calling this month "Gray November" because of all of the early Black Friday sales

which I find kind of funny since for us, gray is almost completely gone

but anyways now would definitely be a good time to get everything!!

[storytelleroftime]

...How do I join in on this secret santa ring Joanne? It sounds like it'd be entertaining.

And yeah I know the answer is "no", but can't a girl dream?

[floret]

Are you hoping someone will give you a weapon?

[megabond]

First of all, thank you for returning most of the blue color and the horse's history. To be honest, it is a little weird for my eyes to go gray like that.

Also, this secret Santa sounds somehow interesting. At least it doesn't involve some heavy alterations to our city again.

[floret]

There are some diseases that can cause a change in eye color, though! Some people say diet can alter it as well, but there's no real evidence to support that.

[chaoticwhimsy]

[First, a selfie of Luna, on a park bench, her blue eyes sparkling and a little grin on her face.]

Got my eyes back!

What's a secret santa though?

[storytelleroftime]

It's when you and a bunch of people volunteer to have random people be put in charge of sending you a present without you knowing who it is, and you get to do the same for someone else!

It's a great method of sending people pet spiders in the mail, essentially.

[redarm]

thank god.
now maybe people will shut the fuck up about their eyes.

anyway, fuck christmas i got a more important holiday question:
what kind of food do people have at thanksgiving besides turkey?
thisll be my first thanksgiving so i wanna try everything.

[AND HE MEANS E V E R Y T H I N G]

[thesettingsun]

Cranberry sauce and stuffing, I think? My house was never big on it.

[belligerentwarrior]

quit screwing with the mailbox. don't make them take the colors back. this is why we can't have nice things.

not anyone should be surprised there's issues with the magic mailbox, knowing the lot of you.

[me_matey]

wasnt me

[refate]

yeah i'm not about to trust any retrospec-suggested rounds of secret santa.
forget someone that's hard to shop for.
i don't want to get somebody that'll send me something explosive or with a lot of teeth.

[pronounces]

that... somehow seems like something you would actually want, kochin...
i'm kind of relieved

[judgementkazzy]

Oh, cool.
Hopefully green will be here in time for the holidays.
Does anyone have any Christmas wishes or things they're thankful for?
I'm having Thanksgiving at my new place this year, so that's gonna be great.
I guess I should start shopping for gifts.

Leave me your Christmas wishlists and I'll see if I can get you something.
This is open to everyone. Happy holidays. :-)

[lalliho]

oh you're right decorations are going to look weird without green

[scarlet_devil]

Ah, my eyes are a lovely shade of blue again!

[ Being the vain girl she is, she attaches a selfie. Her eyes are back to an icy blue. A bit like this only her eyes are normal and her hair is light brown still. ]

Lovely, are they not?

[floret]

Congratulations!

[adoringpast]

oh my god i thought i was hallucinating again but no my eyes are blue again
im never gonna take these fucking colors for granted again

anyways it ultimately is the thought that counts
secret santas are fun and cute and all but
it doesn't mean that you guys are invited though~ ☆

[ he's oddly chipper in this post, damn ]

[liberal_arts]

I don't think I've ever seen you so cheerful.

[lalliho]

what happens if you got sent a dangerous thing and put it there...

and it's early November

[floret]

I'd say it's more mid-November.

[cheetahsenpai]

Blue coming back is going to make Christmas shopping much easier

I wouldn't mind doing Secret Santa I can't remember the last time I did it.

Man Christmas is already here I got to get my gift list together

[As if he's not trying to figure out what to make for Thanksgiving.]

[destiny_key]

i wonder if we could do like
a retrospec secret santa!!!

[amodelidol]

Blue is back! Now everything won't look so weird anymore.

It's already Christmas time? I haven't done anything for Thanksgiving!

I don't know what to get anyone for Christmas either. Secret Santa sounds like a lot of fun though I would do it!

[floret]

Really? Things look a lot weirder to me now, since I had already gotten used to it. . . .

[rebellions]

psa #1:
good for you about your eyes
now shut up no one cares

psa #2:
it's not actually christmas
not even close
what the fuck is wrong with you all

[lesinset]

idek but they can all get stuffed in the mail box
coworkers are singing jingle bells every five seconds

[seizedtheday]

Perhaps it's just me but with the way the past few months have gone, I'm not too sure about looking forward to any more surprises.

[floret]

Also, does it really count as a surprise if we know we're supposed to look forward to it?

[stopbleeding]

who wouldn't want weapons?

[redarm]

i dunno
id be happy to get weapons.

[hadeir]

Why would you even mess with colors in the first place?

And because green is back, I'm giving away most of my green clothes. They clash with my Retrospec-issued hair color.

[destiny_key]

theres green things that go with pink i think

[vendettastool]

I'd make a terrible Secret Santa; all I do is give money or gift cards.

Can anyone tell me how to keep cats from opening doors? My two have become escaped artists in the past month.

[coinflipped]

How would anyone be disappointed by being given money or giftcards? I'd almost prefer it that way I can get what I want or need.

[ohrlyeh]

i hope we can fast forward through christmas if it means i never have to worry about it again. i'm already sick of all these people at the stores.

and i'm missing people's gray eyes already. it was nice for a while

[robitussin]

man where's your christmas spirit

also what's wrong with people having their correct eye color

[complementing]

the supervisors at ReVA just approved Team Arisato/Mason's holiday event in December, please look forward to that! ♪

oh and if you see me walking Koromaru anywhere come congratulate him, he graduated from his therapy dog school!! (❍ᴥ❍ʋ) Now I just need to find a program for him to join

[destiny_key]

tell koromaru that i love him and im proud of him!!!

[prometheanflame]

Thank you for bringing the color green back. You have returned something very important to this world.

(I have two more, but they didn't want to sit on the same perch long enough for me to take a picture).

[ohrlyeh]

oh how sweet. what are their names?

[lesinset]

reindeer onesie
nothing is scarier than knowing you have to wear one

anyone want to help me hide the body
also
bah humbug

[floret]

The body of a reindeer?
