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!

As of this post:
•Clothing and personal items have now regained the color green! This includes all items your character had in their AU plus any regains your character has obtained. However, this does not include physical features.
•Additionally, all flora and fauna have regained the color green.
•Blue eyes and hair have been restored, meaning blue is entirely back!
•Horses begin appearing in history texts, books, and academia, often phrased as being newly discovered from the past.

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

man where's your christmas spirit

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

bah humbug and all that. but no, it's too busy around christmas. i just want everyone to stay at home.

it's fine i guess but sometimes i find gray better. it's unusual.

you can hire shoppers for you

my eyes are still grey

[only good news from him!!]

what if they get the wrong things though? they don't know how i think.

and that's good. i'm assuming you had green eyes originally?

you tell them what to buy I think

no just grey

yes but what if there's something on sale that i really suddenly want to buy. they would pass it over. they need to be prepared for all changes in my shopping habits

and gray is pretty. a good color.

aha

[He only understands impulse buys a third of the time...]

yeah

it's calm

lots of people complained about it though

people complain about anything, what is new. they should learn to appreciate what they have in my opinion

Do you go shopping a lot, Mr. Carter?

not a lot really but when i do go shop there's just crowds everywhere. i hate it.

Ah, that's what's so nice about 24-hour stores, isn't it? If you go at three or four in the morning, almost no one is there.

that's not half bad of an idea but i would be half asleep at that time

i might end up buying like five bird feeders and an axe for all i know

At least you can buy them in peace!

At what time of day do you feel most alert?

i have never felt alert a day in my life.

Not much for the old holiday spirit? I know commercialism is a soul-sucking nightmare, but surely there are things beyond that which are appreciable, hmm?

i like the sweets they make at christmas. sitting by the fire is nice too.

everything else can go though.

Ah, see, there it is! That's the part of you, the part of many people, that truly is linked by the very soul to the season. Sensory things that cannot simply be forgotten. The taste of a candy cane, the warmth of a fire in winter. These are what inspire us.
