Whenever a person calls for help from a busy place, after I show up, people always ask me "Why art thou grey, Counselor?"

When I respond "Grey? I am not grey! My skin is peach in color, and I have a blue robe!", people just seem to laugh and walk away.

This made me wonder... is there a disease going around the world of Brittannia that does not allow people to see Counselors in color? After consulting many scholars, I found out that indeed, there is a plague going around, but none that would affect anyone's vision.

So, I waited until the next time I was asked "Why I was grey", and I figured I would investigate on my own. It didn't take long for a person to approach me and ask about the color of my skin, and there I began my investigation, and the conversation persued as follows..

Sir, why do you think I am grey in color. Is it not obvious that my skin is peach, and I have a blue robe?

Froggy, your name, that is what I mean is grey.

I am sorry sir, but I am only known as Counselor Froggy, I have no alibies, especially the name "Grey"

After that, I went home to ponder what had just happened, and I am still bewildered. I am still trying to solve this mystery, but you can help too! Next time you see someone asking if a particular counselor is "grey", inform them that they are not indeed grey, but peach in skin, and blue in robe!
