The Grey Logo

This is my very first pasta. Besides, English is my second language and I can't write well. Please be more tolerant while reading this little piece of work. Anyway, I'd like to hear comments & advice from members of the community. Thank you! --JS7

All roblox players should have noticed that the logo of roblox has been grey since several months ago. However, most people didn't know why this happened (including me). At first I thought it was probably because something like the death of a certain staff. But roblox never explained this.

Recently, I think I discovered some reasons of that, but not all. It's all from a stranger on the Internet(of course).

I first met Grego18 in Natural Disasters Survival, which is one of my favourite game. His name on the list attracted my attention first. Later, I found him on almost every survival list. Obviously, he's a pro at this game. He was keep teaching others in the chat box as well. In order to improve my skills, I asked him some questions and those were our first dialogues. He was kind, polite and very knowledgeable, like a teacher. He left me good impressions so I decided to make friends with him. He accepted my request.

So we talked a lot after that, from games to games, topics to topics, this and that, mostly about roblox however. He told me lots of things about roblox that I haven't ever heard about.

Later, I thought it was time for dinner so I told him I'll be back in minutes. When I moved back to my computer, what he sent me was this:

"Do you have any idea of why they turned the roblox logo into colour grey?"

That's what I just wanted to know! So I replied quickly:

"Of course not! Do u know that??"

He said: "Sure! 99.999% people don't know this fact! I'm not joking, I'll prove it..."

He let me wait for about five minutes. Then, this is what he said:

"It's a warning! It's trying to tell people that bad things are happening, or will happen. Do you know why they chose the colour grey? It's the colour of unfortunate! You may think it's ridiculous, but it's true. It may take some time for me to prove, plz wait for another 10 minutes..."

I DID think it's very hilarious. I respected that guy for he's very clever and knowledgeable, but that was just like NONSENSE.

Anyway... I waited for him while starting a random roblox game(which is the famous 'Jailbreak'). But all of sudden he sent me the message as soon as I joined the game:

"DON'T PLAY!!!!"

I was surprised to find how quickly he typed. Actually, that's not impossible because you can follow other players. But I was panic when I saw that message so I turned off my game, like lightning. I saw something flashed when the window closed, but I never remembered that thing... It was too fast.

I asked:"Why??"

He said:"I can't tell you that... sorry. But my explanation of the grey logo is almost finished. Sending it in a few seconds!"

What he gave me was a strange link.

You know, I'm not silly enough to visit such a link by a stranger, like many other people like to do. So I just replied:"Sorry, I can't trust links, why don't you send it in text?"

"OK."After that, it's another silence. I had almost lost my trust in him. He let me wasted about 15 minutes in my life. What on earth he wanted to tell me? I became bored and started thinking. This whole thing is kind of creepy now. A strange guy is going to tell me a big 'secret' by sending a suspicious link. Why did I spend time listening to this scammer's words? Why not spend time finding fun like... Just start another roblox game?

"Don't be fooled by that liar." I said to my self while opening my old friend Natural Disaster Survival.

This time, he didn't send me anything. Obviously he's rebuilding his trap or he gave up trolling me now. I joined the game successfully and began to have fun. He didn't join.

In the third round, I noticed something was going wrong. The disaster was blizzard. I chose to hide under a stair. Then, some players started walking towards me. I didn't feel odd because I thought they are trying to hide with me under the stair. But, all of sudden, the message box is QUICKLY filled with these messages:

"Grey?"

"What about grey?"

"Why grey?"

And those messages were sent from different players, in one second. They were just right in front of me. The bubbles just popped up at the same time.

They were still walking to me, filling my whole screen.

There were just their lifeless roblox smiles on my screen.

They were still approaching. Their faces were becoming nearer and bigger.



The world became quiet at this very moment. The blizzard stopped making wind noises without warning. I couldn't stand that more, and just by one click, the window is closed.

This time - just like the last time - I saw the game window changed in a flash. This time, I remembered more things than the last time.

The whole picture of the game - which was full of faces - became totally GREY. As if you are loading the game, everything turned GREY.

What's more, their faces changed as well, but it was too short to capture the details. All I could remember was... their face became full of... from the meaningless, happy smile, into... disappointment, or sadness.

Totally grey sadness.

I couldn't describe those faces, but I still remember how they shocked me at the last moment of the closing.

Then, it was all gone.

I took a deep breath, and found there was sweat on my head. What has happened? I don't know. But it must be connected with that strange guy - Grego18. So I opened the chat box again, and discovered that he finally sent me something.
