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?

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.

while I'm not objecting to the fact that you have an excellent taste in games

giving us some more details of these anomalies would be helpful?? how bad are we talking about and are they worse than monster attacks :/

just so we know what we're getting into


[ guess who has absolutely gone through most of the app options and things already rip ]

+1 candy! 1 candy in total!

who do you think you're talking to

of course I can!

caramel apples are the easiest by far but I do like making homemade rice krispie treats and chocolate brittle too

I don't really have one. Not really a fan of sweets, but those rice krispie treats sound tempting

my sister does like cupcakes though, bonus if they've got themed frosting


[ that is absolutely a not-subtle hint ]

my turn: trick or treat, minako?

Ah! Are you thinking of playing this special Halloween game of theirs, Lelouch-san?!
We should compete to see who ends up doing the best by the end of the month! (>w<)

i’m actually concerned about the upcoming anomalies, but it seems like festive shenanigans will take precedence over urgency. still, it’s better to be safe than sorry...

trick or treat.

If we're lucky it could turn out to be just a bunch of harmless pranks in the spirit of Halloween.

IF we're lucky.
