This seems somehow familiar...

[strawberry_roll]

...Oh, please. A black-an'-white world...? Nothing I haven't handled before. Least this time they haven't touched my pretty strawberry shades...

......Eh? Well, it's not like Daisy has much reason to notice. Other than, y'know, the obvious...

Seriously, though. They better not take my colors away. I don't CARE if it's 'just a coincidence'; I won't STAND for it--!

A black and white world?
We cannot approve.
Our glorious rainbow would be gray.

But then...
It does have that nostalgic charm.
We understand nostalgia is very big these days.
Is older really better?

[strawberry_roll]

Not if it means there's no color. That just makes it boring! And creepy!

[kingofallcosmos]

...
Hmm?

Oh.
We forgot you could talk.

[How the King of All Cosmos forgot that when he'd only spoken up because Ichigo was talking is best not explored.]

So old is good.
But black-and-white is bad.

[strawberry_roll]

...!!!

*Though visibly bristling, she bites her tongue. No, Ichi. Let's not insult the guy who'll laser you for failing his arbitrary time limits...*

...Old's... okay. Depends what it is, really. I mean, if old was good all the time, why do people get so fussy 'bout their phones 'n stuff like that? 'Oooh, it's a higher number, I waaaaant iiiiit!' You'd think they'd brag about having ones and twos then...

[kingofallcosmos]

So old is good.
But a high number is also good.
We have it!
We understand now.
The best thing to have is a high number of old things.

......

...This your way of askin' me to go roll up some kinda 'Retro Katamari'...?

[kingofallcosmos]

A Retro Katamari?
What an excellent idea!
What a sure hit with the fans!
We are glad We thought of it.

[strawberry_roll]

......

...Well, I'll need a katamari first. ...Sir.

[Obligingly, the King hurls Ichigo through time and space while spewing the names of planets like a garden sprinkler somehow setto both TURBO and RANDOM. Welcome to some kid's messy room!]

We think you should roll up this many retro objects. [He holds up a sign in one hand that says 750.]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Your colors?

[strawberry_roll]

Yeah. One time, the Ink Well broke, and it kinda broke the whole City. Half of us got stuck in one that was just black and white and gray all over, and the other got all the colors and then some. Annoying, really.
