Network, UN: MadMax

[beyourzoomer]

[Seeing everything and everyone in shades of gray isn't Max's idea of a good time. At all.]

So given the amount of chaos at Town Hall a few hours ago, I'm going to assume I'm not the only one whose vision's been affected by the red dust.

Has anyone's normal vision come back yet?

[She's trying not to panic anymore than she already has been. And she's already making the connection to the fact that Sound Eaters are blind, the red dust comes from the Sound Eaters, and wondering if this is how they start the process of making more Sound Eaters.]

This blows. I only got one good eye left.

[ aka no ]

[beyourzoomer]

[Annnd now she feels kinda bad for complaining. Perspective is everything.]

Do you see anyone in color at all?

UN: dameron

[gotyourselfapilot]

That was a little on the scary side. But at least people helped each other out. My one question is. What else can this red dust do? [ Something to keep in the back of his mind. ]

No, it hasn't. But I can see one person in full color.

[beyourzoomer]

[Yeah, that's a good point. In no time at all, Frank had scooped her up and taken her outside in the middle of her panic.]Nothing good, I don't think.

Yeah, me too.

[ UGH HE HATES THIS SO MUCH... He's been rapidly working to figure out if there's a way to fix this for everyone. What if eye drops??? Water doesn't seem to be doing it this time.

He's so. Worried and frustrated. None of you deserve this...

In all honesty, he's freaking out over the thought of: what if they all go blind from this... ]

Is it just missing color for you?

[beyourzoomer]

[She hates it, too.]

Yeah, just color. Is that all it is for you?

un: supergirl

[iisupergirlii]

Not yet. Are you okay?

[beyourzoomer]

I'm okay, just...freaked out.

un: purpleman

[kiljoy]

No shit. Let's hope it does come back.

[Only seeing in black and white forever is a pretty dismal prospect.]

[beyourzoomer]

[Too dismal to think about, but her fear comes from an even worse place than being stuck seeing in black and white forever.]

Let's hope.

[culver]

[beyourzoomer]

I hope not too.

Is there anyone you do see in color?

WE ARE IN A REAL LIFE SILENT FILM!!!!!! 😨😱😨😱😨😱😨😱😨
are we sure we didn't just go back in time , how else do you explain the black and white

lmfao

[beyourzoomer]

[Oh god. Richie has learned emojis. Somehow, though, it makes her grin just a little.]

...i'm pretty sure it wasn't black and white in real life even back in the olden days, richie.

[deadlight]

un: mollyringwald

[deadlight]

MAX!!!
i fucking hate this noir bs

[ ...that's a no. ]

[beyourzoomer]

me too. this sucks.

un: slothbaby

[morphogenia]

Nope. I feel like dirt on top of it. I swear someone is really out to get us! Like this place could become even more of a horror movie cliche between the silence and weirdly threatening messages.

[beyourzoomer]

Like dirt, meaning...what kind of symptoms?

[She's the first person Max has heard about having any effects aside from the grayscale vision.]

Have you been to the clinic?

[clussy]

No

but
some of us DO see someone in color so i think it'll be okay. i don't think it's gonna be permanent. otherwise we'd see only black and white right?

(You'd think of all people Eddie would be freaking out more, but truthfully it had been like The Wizard of Oz or something when the dull listless all fell to grey and something wonderful and otherwordly became nothing but color.





So in other words, him being a twelve year old with some sort of imagination has him wondering if this isn't something else besides something horrific and health-relevant.)

[beyourzoomer]

But just one person right?

[This is starting to feel a little less Sound Eater-y and more like something else. She's just not sure what.

Max has a good imagination, but it's mostly stuck on horror mode these days.]

[deadboywalking]

i thought it had, but then i went outside and it was still all
blah
none of my paints work :(

[beyourzoomer]

wait, you thought you could see color inside? but outside it was still gray?

un: sixfour

[garrick]

Not yet. And I have to say, it doesn't taste so good either.

[beyourzoomer]

What? Chalk doesn't do anything for your taste buds?

un: sol

[skyofreverie]

Nope. I feel like I've gone to this one world where everything, even me, was black and white.

Seems there's a whole lot of different things the red dust can do. Though the way we got that text beforehand makes me wonder if someone tampered with it.

[beyourzoomer]

...there's a world for everything, isn't there?

[She's fascinated but also so, so horrified in some ways.]

You mean like someone who was supposedly dead and maybe isn't really?

Not yet. It's just grey and more grey excepting the one thing I can see.

[isherarmor]

Person, not thing.

[beyourzoomer]

Is it someone you know, that you see in color?
