You can't. It's an excuse for me to keep my green colors. :) If you really want to join Miss Maria's School of Grace without losing your color, I guess I could give you a task. If you're up to the challenge, dude.

You sure, Midori? It's not going to be easy, but since you're so eager, I'll humor you. If you want to be part of Miss Maria's school, bump 10 discussion threads from the second pages of the following sections:

Mai-HiME

Mai-Otome

ShizNat

Mai-HiME/Otome General Forum

HOWEVER, do not just write one sentences for each reply. You must put effort into your answer/opinion/etc. Then, only then, will be you become a member of the Graceful school~

A lot of time on my hands? I don't sleep, I have a lot of time on my hands and I am done, all 10 for each category

so that's:
Mai-HiME - 10
Mai-HiME/Otome General Forum – 10
ShizNat - 10
Mai-Otome - 10

That was interesting
