Hi, everyone! There's a fairly high level anomaly coming up which we did our best to damp down, but please be careful! It should be safe as long as you're cautious and don't take any unnecessary risks. Also, R&D gave us more of those poll results (I'm not sure why we're doing this by poll? I'd rather just spend all our resources on blue) so we fixed a few things! Also also, Maurice and I programmed a really fun game!! You don't have to play if you don't want to but Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday sooooooo! Please take care and try to stay safe, okay? Joanne Wiseman Technician 2nd class Retrspec Incorporated As of this post characters will find their application decked out in cheerful Halloween colors, and their userpics in a randomized (work safe) costume. Since this is Joanne's work, however, there is a very visible and easy option to turn off Halloween Mode if characters would prefer to use the usual application. She's helpful like that. The biggest feature of Halloween Mode is the Trick or Treat function. When speaking to others, users who are asked "Trick or treat?" will have the option to give a treat. If they do, a virtual candy will be gifted to the other user. If they do not, the user who asked the question will have the option to play a "trick". Tricks are fairly harmless and include: vandalizing a userpic with animal ears or noses, choosing a new color/design scheme for the other user's application, making the other user play a round of a cutesy halloween maze game to get back on the application, playing a song of the user's choice at the nefarious non-candy-giver, or similar very easy things. None of these effects last over ten minutes. This is one of the methods to earn a freebie memory for the month. You must have 5 threads with at least 5 comments each (25 comments total) playing the trick or treat game! This can be done on this post or in inboxes or wherever there is a network. Also as of this post: -Normal oranges exist alongside the dancing variety! -For the color BLUE: Media as a whole and NPCs begin using the names for the color again. Songs and books regain the ability to say the words appropriately, and NPCs acknowledge the color as real. -For the color GREEN: Photographs begin to regain this color. Text of this color also becomes visible again in books and online. Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently.

I do love a spirited lot. Well then, shall we have a little holiday fun?

[his picture is in a pirate getup. who knows.]

[mincingminuet]

Fine. Trick or Treat.

[Guess who also has a pirate outfit?]

[freeskies]

I see that we are in matching attire. What a coincidence.

Treat.

[mincingminuet]

Are you surprised?

And there.

Smart man, not giving me the chance to prank you.

[A virtual candy pops over. It's probably licorice.]

[lingeringwill]

hey i know we're not like the best of friends but i feel like i would be remiss to not inform you that you ACTUALLY sound like a 70 year old grandpa

[freeskies]

Ah, see, that is where you are mistaken.

Can't you see that this is my pirate voice?

Yo ho ho?

[lingeringwill]

oh okay you're just a dad

[tuffguy]

[freeskies]

Of course it is.

Now, trick or treat?

[tuffguy]

[maidhem]

I'm always up for games.

Trick or treat! XD

[freeskies]

Treat.

[not that he's afraid of tricks, but, really. he knows when to ask for them.]

[maidhem]

Oh~

So boring, Franklin.

[But she pushes the button to send the virtual candy no less-- hopefully that's enough to appease Franklin's need to play.]

I expected more when you said you were game.

[hadeir]

Yarrrrr?
Trick or treat.

[freeskies]

Yo ho!

Very well, trick.

[skald]

Heee, nice costume! Trick or treat!

Also are you busy in the next few days (just out of curiosity)

[freeskies]

Treat.

And well... that depends. My schedule is not entirely clear, but nor is it entirely booked... for the moment.

[skald]

Hee, this game is cute!

Welllll if you decide you want to walk around in a pirate costume in the next few days, maybe drop by the park?

[evidentiary]

Since you asked: Trick or treat?

[freeskies]

Well... Trick. It's more interesting to see, isn't it?

[evidentiary]

[ WELL, ENJOY PLAYING YOUR WAY THROUGH one of those sliding picture puzzles, dude. ]

I quite agree. In fact, I might let you play a trick on me as well?
