DON'T WANNA BE

[ladytakamaki]

I'm pretty sure they're aware of it. This happens all the time.

I hope so... I'm pretty sure the lack of color's been going on for a while, too. Doesn't that affect your art?

etc

[fabrefactions]

Then there is even less of an excuse! Surely they aren't proud, releasing a sub par product onto an unwilling public?

It is strange. I am aware I have lost something and don't know what to replace it with, other than what was taken from me in the first place.

[ladytakamaki]

I think this is their 'beta' phase or something...

Isn't it weird, how you didn't notice it before? How blue wasn't a color until you got here? Man, when I realized all of these changes...it was really overwhelming.

If you have any questions, let me know, okay?

[fabrefactions]

[They're not out of beta, but they're releasing on time?]

It is overwhelming. I keep looking up at the sky, expecting blue and-- it looks constantly as though it will rain.

It's quite gloomy. I'm sure there's beauty it in, but finding that beauty right now is just... difficult.

[ladytakamaki]

Don't worry. It's been slowly coming back..we'll get blue skies soon, I'm sure of it.

[fabrefactions]

I think it would be less jarring, transitioning from not knowing to knowing, if something as important as the sky were to remain its usual colour.

[ladytakamaki]

True. I mean...knowing how it used to be is kinda depressing. Everything's just a little more..lifeless?

[fabrefactions]

[That's a very... on point way of describing it.]

... Yes. Everything feels just a little less bright. I hope we can change that soon.

[ladytakamaki]

Me too. I don't know how everything's coming back,
but it's happening, so I know it must be possible.

I miss having my eye color...

[fabrefactions]

Hm. My eye colour is naturally grey, so I cannot say I have felt the same personal loss. But for the sake of everyone with blue eyes who have lost their natural shade, I hope we get blue back soon.

[ladytakamaki]

...Right. I forgot about that. You're a lucky guy.

[fabrefactions]

That's a narrow interpretation of lucky. I have lost my natural hair colour as a pay off.

[ladytakamaki]

Okay...that's true.
Is it really your natural hair color?

[fabrefactions]

I remember my hair having a slightly navy-ish tint, but now that appears to have gone, along with my ability to see blue.

[ladytakamaki]

I don't think it's your ability to see blue. I think it's just...the color itself is gone.

[fabrefactions]

Yet it is still present in flowers. How? And how is it decided that people lose their eye colours and the sky turns grey, yet flowers remain the same?

[ladytakamaki]

Retrospec.
It's messing with the entire city as we know it.
Trust.

[fabrefactions]

[Trust?]

It feels petty. Very petty. No one benefits from this!

[ladytakamaki]

[ trust her, she means! ]

Exactly! I think this is really dumb and I don't get why they won't give us our colors back... I wonder if it's supposed to stand for something....?

[fabrefactions]

[you kids and your slang]

What would withholding colour do? Is there a meaning in the shades they are keeping from us...?

[ladytakamaki]

I was thinking about it.
Aren't they the colors of the earth...? Blue for water, green for land?

[fabrefactions]

Certainly, in an abstract form. But then why not take away the yellow of the sun, or the brown of a tree trunk?
