1.1.01.01.007: Residents may not keep pets in their rooms.

So... that was a flood.

It all seemed so harmless at first, but it quickly went downhill, didn't it?

I've got a question for you, actually. [Eddie disappears off screen, and comes back with a little piece of card, then holds it up to the camera. The card is a square of orange, much like a paint sample swatch

It's very...orange.

[needshumility]

Well, yes. But is it carrot orange?

[19centconstable]

It's the sort of orange a picture of a carrot might be, but I don't believe I have ever seen an actual carrot quite that shade.

[needshumility]

...That's actually a very interesting perspective on it.

[19centconstable]

It is?

[needshumility]

Yes.

The artificial colours never really were quite... natural.

[19centconstable]

I believe the idea is to make the product more appealing, so that you will want to buy it. Because it is more carrot-y than lesser carrots, for example.

[needshumility]

I suppose that makes sense.

And it does happen - natural red doesn't look quite the same as what National Colour produce. But it's a very difficult thing to describe to anyone who doesn't see it.

[19centconstable]

Is it like how hairstyles in advertisements can never really be achieved by an actual person?

[needshumility]

I imagine so.

Or more like trying to describe Vivaldi to someone who can't hear F major or minor.

[19centconstable]

I have heard something about the deaf being able to feel music, though. Through the vibrations.

[needshumility]

...Really?

I suppose that makes sense.

Although, at home, certain colours can make certain music appear in your head. Not like you've heard it, but like you sense it.

[19centconstable]

Like that fellow at the brain hospital who could taste sounds!

[needshumility]

...exactly like that, I imagine. Except I can hear colours, I guess.

Why was he in the hospital?

[19centconstable]

Because he could taste sounds and such. It was more of a research hospital.

[needshumility]

Did they keep him there?

Was he... a supernumary?
