[dj_jiraiya]

sorry if this has been asked before

every1's super active on this thing but i got a question that's been buggin me 4 awhile now

i wasnt at the nothing adventure thing, but i was around 4 the casino shindig and all that jazz

they have customs 4 chroma like a good luck hug or kiss before going off 2 fight or w/e rite? but like

i thought they couldnt make chroma? thats y we're "blessed" and stuff, rite? so how do they have customs 4 somethin like that if they cant do the thing that we can do?

they never had it in the 1st place, rite? it's weird.

if some1 already asked then can u just direct me 2 that post, pls? thx!

[this is also happening at like, the middle of the night because someone's sick and can't sleep.]

Huh. I've... that's a pretty good question. Maybe in the past they used to be able to generate chroma but can't now? It would explain why they knew the ways to generate it so quickly.

[dj_jiraiya]

ya i was thinkin the same but like

idk howd they lose it?

[justicedevil]

I can think of several reasons why it could've happened, but it'd just be me coming up with anything that sounds vaguely possible. I haven't really been looking into things enough to be able to give any real suggestions that have any evidence.

[dj_jiraiya]

yea, guess thats tru

i wasnt either but... idk just got 2 thinkin and couldnt stop so figured it wouldnt hurt 2 ask

I'd noticed that, myself.

My going theory is that they used to be able to produce Chroma before the Calamity, but lost that ability when their old civilization was destroyed.

There isn't any information I can find about what life was like before then, so I can't be sure, but it seems like a solid theory from what I do know.

[dj_jiraiya]

yea i thought the same but its just weird theres no records or even like

u kno legends or folktales or whatever. well those customs aside.

theres a basis of truth even in those or so the sayin goes

[foolishjustice]

I've thought about that, too. I think someone or something actively suppressed information about before the Calamity. Otherwise, there would at least be stories.

[dj_jiraiya]

┐(￣ヘ￣)┌

maybe i can check the library or somethin

internet didnt come up w much

but if its somehow bein suppressed idk where id go 2 find the info around here

the next morning | un: tofuidol

[betheirstrength]

Pretty sure it's because they used to be able to make chroma, and something bad happened, so now they can't. It's related to how messed-up everything is outside of the city.

I think Akechi-kun has been researching it.

[dj_jiraiya]

theres no confirmation yet that thats the reason, just a theory 4 now but itd make sense

just more curious what the calamity did 2 do that if that was the case and if its isnt the case

then howd they lose it?

[betheirstrength]

Oh, gotcha.

There's not a whole lot explained, really :/ But I wouldn't even know who to ask.

[dj_jiraiya]

same here. was hopin some1 else might have the answer or found somethin out.

well ok maybe not at 2 in the morning but yanno.

[loudmouths]

maybe it's just a scam to get some extra attention

some of the locals are pretty horny

[dj_jiraiya]

that doesnt make a lotta sense dude

[loudmouths]

what i'm sayin is what if they're not actually "traditions"

what if they just tell us that

[dj_jiraiya]

yeah but its usually before a fite or sumthin

not exactly the best time to be havin sex and stuff

You're up late. Last I checked, you aren't nocturnal.

[ So what is he doing up and asking such a thought provoking question that may or may not but most definitely did result in surprised bird face and Sets feverishly combing through the books she's checked out from the library on relevant subjects because how did she miss that? It feels ultra relevant to her personal situation, even, being unable to access her spiritual energy as she is, but that can wait a moment. Maybe two, three. ]

[dj_jiraiya]

doesnt mean i cant have nights were i cant sleep ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌

[chichichi]

[ This sass! ]

I don't know, Yosuke-kun. That sounds pretty fake to me. Your sleep schedule should always be perfectly on point so that you wake up flawlessly bright-eyed, bushy tailed, and alert.

[fridgeninja]

I hadn't thought of that.

Well, I already wondered if they were hiding things from us...

[dj_jiraiya]

i think alot of us have partner

just sux we cant seem 2 find any answers

[fridgeninja]

We're not going to give up.

And I think this is an even bigger mystery than our last one.

[unhappy]

I'm pretty sure they're just making stuff up as they go along to try to get chroma out of us and hoping we're stupid.

[dj_jiraiya]

its a possibility but i don't think they're that stupid, regardless if they think we r.

[unhappy]

You have way more faith in people than I do if you don't think people can be that stupid
