[Video] With all the colors in the rainbow...

[not_heavens_adam]

[Here's one(1) vampire currently leaning against the railing of his apartment's balcony, looking a little contemplative today. He takes a moment to puff on the cigarette he was currently working on before acknowledging the SFC.]

People always say 'all of the colors in the rainbow' and assume those 8 are it. But, in reality, the number of color possibilities are endless. Even Black and white, which might be considered the end-points of the color spectrum, have different shades to them.

[He looks thoughtful a moment and smirks.]

And, to avoid the debate on whether black and white are actually colors, let's just go with the assumption that they are, just for this one question.

Anyway, with all of these colors out there, there's bound to be a few that represent one thing or another. People like association, so it's bound to happen that one particular color will mean something to a society or a group of friends or, even, a single person.

Are there any colors like that for any of you? Any that mean anything in particular?

[evilisfabulous]

Red, of course. I'm sure someone as intelligent as you can figure out why.

[not_heavens_adam]

Don't you do anything that's not violent?

[amnesiadragon]

Sort of. My life stream is blue and Nina's is yellow and Cray's is red.

[not_heavens_adam]

Oh? What's a 'life stream?'

[rainbowarch]

There's not a lot of color where I come from.

[Not counting people's hair. Well, okay. There's a lot of GREY and BROWN.]

So what little color we did have was pretty important.

[not_heavens_adam]

Hnn...I can imagine.

[Between raining all the time, no plants, and no color, Johnny really doesn't want to see your world, Cielo.]

Let me guess, the one most important to you would be orange, yes?

Most clans from my land tend to adopt a particular colour; that colour will then be used primarily in the clothing and armour of their warriors, as well as in a more general decorative sense.

[He pauses, tilts his head, and then adds softly:]

But if you wish for something more personal, then I associate many shades of blue with my Lord Motochika. His clan colour is a shade of light blue, though that is not really why I do so.

[not_heavens_adam]

Hmm...is there any particular reason? Just to identify who belongs to what clan, I suppose?

Blue's a good color, I would say it's very soothing yet radiant; it's one of my favorites. Do you mind if I ask why you associate it with him, then, if not for his clan? Don't feel compelled to answer if you don't want to.

[aim_exorable]

Twelve, not eight.

[Excuse him while he nitpicks forever.]

Perhaps even thirteen, although no one would ever be able to say by now, I imagine. And on Alternia, all of those colors meant something.

[Hemospectrum and all.]

voice

[not_heavens_adam]

My apologies.

[You're forgiven because he likes you. Also, he doesn't really care.]

May I ask what those meanings are? I have to admit, based on what little I know already, your culture fascinates me.

[spelunky]

Come to think of it, [she ponders this idea for a moment, mulling it over in her mind with careful consideration] you're totally right! I mean, my favorite color is yellow because [wait for it...] bananas are yellow, too.

[Symbolic, right?]

video;

[not_heavens_adam]

[Oh. How very logical.

Excuse him while he giggles a bit.]

Let me guess: bananas are your favorite food.

[has_too_many_moles]

From where I am from- Blue flames are the mark of Satan and his kin.

[not_heavens_adam]

[That catches his attention.]

Oh really? I wouldn't have guessed. Where I'm from, black and red are the symbols of evil, darkness, and the devil. Is that not true where you're from?

[video]

[banditking]

Red! I wear a lotta it!

[video]

[not_heavens_adam]

Is red your favorite color?

voice;

[fulmination]

I'm known as either the Red Lotus or Crimson Alchemist in my world, though I've always been a little more partial to wearing white when it comes to clothing.

voice;

[not_heavens_adam]

Hmm...would that be red for fire or red for blood?

And what about the white? Is that for purity or just because you like the color?

[Video]

[closedcircuit]

All Sacred Order uniforms were white with borders of color. The blue represents my status as a lightning user with magic. Sol's was red, for fire, when he was in the Order.

[Yes, he's giving a logistical answer rather than an emotional one. But he doesn't know that he has an emotional answer to give at all.]

[Video]

[not_heavens_adam]

Aaah~ Well, white is the color of purity and anything holy~ It makes sense. And, frankly, suits you, Ky~

The blue is interesting. I would have guessed yellow, but I've seen blue as a non-conventional representation of lightning.

Do you have a favorite color~?

// VIDEO

[ladyinscarlet]

Red... It is the color of fire and passion. [And blood.]

// VIDEO

[not_heavens_adam]

Aaah~ Yes, that's a common association where I'm from as well~ It's a very nice color as well~

[VIDEO]

[applepies]

[He looks longly at Johnny, still not sure that this conversation is a good idea.]

P-purple. I don't really... like it though.

[VIDEO]

[not_heavens_adam]

But your eyes are such a lovely purple, Asato.

[Wait...]

...what's wrong?

[Video]

[twiceinhabited]

Orange. It the main colour of the Shomonkai.

[Video]

[not_heavens_adam]

Two for orange. And what, may I ask, is the Shomonkai?

Something from your home?

[ video ]

[ahouko]

My name means "blue child," so blue's always been an important color to me.

[ video ]

[not_heavens_adam]

Aaah~ Such a pretty meaning. That's completely understandable~

Blue's a soothing color~ One of my favorites, personally.

[topsseifer]

Isn't it seven colors? [And he counts off of his fingers.] R-O-Y-G-B-I-V. Yeah! Seven colors of the rainbow. Normally they simplify it to like five or six though. [A roll of his shoulder before he jerk his thumb to point to himself.] Red means something. My best-
[There was a pause before he looked down at his camo shoes.] I guess that isn't true any more. A friend game me something red. [Fishes it out of his pocket to hold out a palm sized red crystal sphere.]

[not_heavens_adam]

I was corrected and told twelve. [Shruuug. He never got to see rainbows anyway.]

Red seems popular here~ It's a good color.

You must mean a lot to your friend if they gave you something so pretty~

[video]

[demonicbookworm]

I think it would be red for me, because...

<sub>[Because Iria has red hair and red eyes.

he suddenly blushes.]</sub>

Ah, n-no, never mind that!

[video]

[not_heavens_adam]

[Oh~~? Blushing?]

Red's a good color. It's a sign of passion and love~

[And blood and fire, but still.]

[Action] because I can

[bakegarasu]

[And suddenly, with the faint smell of alcohol, there's an Otoha behind you, Johnny.]

Why the rainbow question?

[Action]

[not_heavens_adam]

[HOLY FUCKING-

Excuse him while he jumps, whirls around, and holds a dagger out in a defensive stance, fear all over his face.

....until the smell and sight catches up with his reflex and he relaxes, face going bright red.

So many years of Barry sneaking up behind him had made him overly defensive. He pocketed the dagger and crossed his arms, trying to will his heart to slow down and the blush burning across his face to fade.]

What the hell was that? Were you trying to give me a heart attack?

[He sighs.]

...Since when could you do that anyway?
