   Summary

   [rewritten summary, same fic.]

   Purple is a lot of things, none of them good.
   - A college student barely scraping by on singing gigs and street fights,
   - The apprentice-(ish) of the strange, quiet professor Mango,
   - Simultaneous friend and foe to the Color Gang, who are, despite the "Gang", perhaps the dumbest people they've ever met (and yet exceedingly smart. It's fascinating,)
   - And worst of all, completely, utterly, devastatingly in love with a friend who is ten miles out of their league.

   They manage. It's become routine.
   The only thing that could possibly throw a wrench into all of this is a development in the years-long crush they've held on Green; star performer, vastly superior friend, and the only source of (good) spontaneity in their disastrous life.

   ...ah. They jinxed it.
