When I asked these questions, it happened to be our staff were immersed in Bathroom-Tile RP.. XDD
1. Please introduce yourselves to our fine readers.
Openlygray (Raz): Hi. I’m openlygray. I’m constantly shunned by the rest of the staff because of my…unclear color.
Mauve(Laca): MY ANSWER? I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I AM NOT… OPENLYGRAY…
TerraCotta(jojo):Hi I am TerraCotta and I’d rather not be the chamber pot in the bathroom but a tile along with the rest of you. Thank you.
2. Tell us about your scanlation group. How and when was it started and where did the name come from? What series do you scanlate?
Openlygray: I can’t remember when it started. Probably when I realized I could no longer be closeted gray. I realized that just because I’m not light enough to be white or dark enough to be black, doesn’t mean I should be treated less equally. I mean, Gray is a color too!
* OpenlyGray is hoping Homongeneous(craxx) doesn’t take it seriously though.
Periwinkle (Ad): We’re a serious group Rax, what do you expect? ['-']
OpenlyGray: omg we are?!
3. Is it true Midnight Secretary led to one of the staff having a baby? XD
4. Did you watch the Koizora film/drama and if so what was your opinion of it?
Homongenous: I only watched the film.. there’s a drama?! I can say the film what led me to the manga… It’s urm.. sad? XD
5. How did you personally get into the scanlation scene? Were you previously a member of other scanlation groups?
TerraCotta: It was fate. One day we all looked around and realized we were tiles… and bored in a bathroom. We had to do something didn’t we? So we formed a scanlation group
* TerraCotta looks innocent
<Periwinkle> I mean, seriously, dirt is the bane of our existence anyway. It was a natural transition. We were anti-dirt, so are scanlation groups ['-']
6. Do you have any memorable stories from your scanlating experience?
TerraCotta: That time we all changed our names to colors and pretended to be bathroom tiles for a scanlation interview was pretty cool
OpenlyGray: when hot women are showering. i lose more color and become more gray.
7. What process do you go through to decide what new manga to pick up?
Mauve: We basically just bully each other around and threaten to unleash the fury of megatron till we give in
OpenlyGray: I begrudgingly translate whatever series they give me. after all, i’m just a gray tile.
8. If you could go on a date with any character from a manga you scanlate or have scanlated in the past, who would it be?
OpenlyGray: I haven’t encountered any character from our series worthy of my ceramic love, my GRAY, ceramic love.
Beige: Ludwig, Tomoe, the guy from HM, or Prince Will
Periwinkle: The mysterious nameless penguin in the new ohmi tomu oneshot
TerraCotta: There was this one scene in Midnight Secretary where they were in the bathroom. I have to admit that the LightBlue tile was pretty cute
OpenlyGray: TerraCotta! That’s brother, you ****!
–next scene is cut–
10. Would you rather give up smut/BL or kill a puppy?
Periwinkle: Give up smut/BL. What kind of people do you think we are? Puppy killers? D:
Beige: [-_-]/ ∑:o]
OpenlyGray: I’ll give up BL happily. It just isn’t my thing, being gray as a window, and all.
Beige: how cute is the puppy?
11. Any closing comments?
