Keeper of the One True Shade
Once he was a normal engineer. There was a time before the terrible and glorious burden fell upon him. Things are very different now. There are duties, ceremonial and otherwise.
The spirit fell upon him that day. He declared himself and his rank. The mantle of his duties descended.
"I am an engineer at Virtual Hammer. I am the keeper of the One True Shade of Purple!"
It was witnessed by the challenger, the wearer of a magenta shirt which did not conform to the Purple Standard.
If only the challenger had not called attention to it, it might have been otherwise. But the challenger had displayed the magenta shirt, ever so slightly too red to qualify, and said "Look, I'm a purple crash screen!"
The Keeper of the One True Shade was called to its defense.
Thus it ever is, and ever shall be.
silveradept asked me to talk about how I know someone is the keeper of the one true shade of purple. If you'd like me to talk about something in particular, feel free to ask!
