We can try a few different things. When I see Capno on next, I'll try "orange red". If that doesn't work, it's on to the purples. Obviously if you see her first the purples will get checked first. The only one I see that looks like it could be a mix of midnight blue and salmon is indigo.

I'm back.
Where are we trying to get into?
What colors have we tried?
Assuming I get in what am I looking for?

Ok, back to reading the massive number of pages that I've missed!

I thought you knew they were Crayola colors. Most of the colors on the web list are. Not stuff like Ghost White, but yeah, things like Thistle and Wisteria and Salmon are. The pass probably isn't Crayola, though; if it's been individual colors so far, that would be a weird departure.

Has anyone tried simply, "Smoke"?

Is there a Crayola color that satisfies the civility requirement by its definition or as a pun? Something that says, "Hello. How are you?".

How about "Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown"?

Maybe "Shadow" would be an appropriate reference to her moniker as used by us.

Purple Mountain's Majesty or Royal Purple, maybe? Royalty are civilized, right?

The only reason I singled out the Crayola thing was because Jade did. I'd come across it, but didn't pay attention to it. And we hadn't explicitly investigated that as a possible connection.

Um...how about the color "jade?"

She's online now. I tried Jade, it didn't work.

ETA: I then asked "what do I have to do to become initiated?" and she signed off. Nevermind it says it was not delivered.

I wonder if capnomantrix is a bot?

colors, colors everywhere

But does the Box o' 48 have enough colors to draw an accurate artist's rendering of Philly's comatose body? I'm sure the fellers at Djinn would appreciate it. Slap it up on their office fridge with a check mark shaped magnet.

Oh, I'm sure a competent artist could do a job good enough for the papers.

The first line from Jade's Jan. 16 blog post was bugging me so I looked it up. http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/dead_or_alive/albums.jhtml?albumId=35225
Nothing jumps (so to speak) out at me from the lyrics, but the album cover features the lead singer in a rather violently purple outfit. Kl00?

Maybe Philly was using foo-foo sounding colors because he'd been interacting with Smoke for some time. We're beginners so maybe we have to start with the basic colors.

The idea that "Smoke" was a bot had crossed my mind. But there's not much to go on, there.

If we could figure out why she stayed available for one person while disconnecting from another, we might see the beginnings of a trigger.

How about someone throwing a whole box of color at her in one attempt.

If we want to truly try and filter down to a color that works, we could try, say, a dozen at a time.
