Hello you've reached Eleanor Lamb's voicemail. I'd explain what's next but I can't imagine you don't know what to do at the beep.

I think Jim must have really hated high school once upon a time.

[Hi, Eleanor.]

[notyourutopian]

Maybe blue and green were his school colors.
So now they're banished forever

[chiseler]

solid theory, especially since blue's one of the colors from rec high too
maybe he used to get picked on for his shitty videos even back then
what do you think, any kind of science that could explain any of this? or do we have to go the "this is just stupid" route?

[notyourutopian]

I can't imagine why anyone would have picked on someone for such high quality video output.

Hm.
The only thing I can think of that I can come up with a rational basis for is some kind of physical alteration to our eyes.
To induce color blindness.
But it doesn't explain that we can still see the blue in the logo.
And the only way you could do it on a scale like this would be some kind of gene-sequencing thing, I think?
I mean, it's still technically impossible but

okay so half science and half stupid bloody nonsense

[chiseler]

might be time to consider that all of this is stupid nonsense but that's admitting Jim wins, and I don't hate myself enough for that just yet
color blindness, huh. could be the same way that we see things for what they are but other people don't. maybe it's more psychological alteration than actually stripping the color? like mental conditioning or something
is it me, or does the logo seem brighter than usual?

[notyourutopian]

I hadn't really thought about it but
Maybe a little bit?
It might just be our eyes are so used to not seeing blue now that when we see it, it stands out
like people who get stuck underground for a while when they're first outside again everything is supposed to be really vivid
I think

I forget where I read that

[chiseler]

solid theory. also makes you wonder more about the outside world and if blue's gone everywhere kind of like how horses no longer exist in the whole world
it's just one of the things I've been thinking about
but you probably already have enough...you're graduating too, aren't you?

[notyourutopian]

I can't imagine this would be any easier to do locally than on a world-wide scale.

Yeah.
In a couple days.

[chiseler]

why not? if it's a smaller area you have more control over your field. you'd think that actually would make it easier to monitor at least
congratulations then. what's next after that?

[notyourutopian]

Well, they are only keeping track of a small area of...I suppose we're 'test subjects.'

But I think it would be harder to remove all the color from one small section of the sky, rather than the whole sky, as an example.
You'd have...bleed in, I think.

Uhm
Oh my internship starts in two weeks.
Then college in the fall

[chiseler]

the betas to whatever alphas fucked up the first time, I'm guessing
you mean like blue would creep in around the edges? I didn't think of it that way but that's a good point, too. removing everything from the sky seems impossible is all, but then again these are the same guys who somehow eliminated a whole species
I don't really know what to think anymore

but that's awesome. internship's the same place you were worried about in the first place?

[notyourutopian]

Pretty much.
It's hard to gauge what they can do because they do amazing things but so badly?

Thanks.
Miss Sato isn't on retrospec anymore but she's still really nice so.
Still got my internship.
