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.

oh god not another one... I know you're not going to respond back, but isn't there anything we can do to stop this one? fight something or... something??




...that being said, the Halloween theme is super cute ♥

[buncho]

hey!!!!! do you think were going to get to group up and fight things again like august?!

[flowrite]

[Oh god Mafuyu is way too excited about this]

Somehow I don't think so. If that were a viable option I don't see why they wouldn't have told us already.

Fighting isn't always the answer anyway, Mafuyu. It just seemed like there should be some way to stop this instead of just letting it happen.

[buncho]

cause we dont need handholding to make teams, thats why! if somethings really dangerous, you and i can be on a team! and prompto too, and noah and mohammed! and everyone else! i can fight while you think of some way else to handle things

[playdolls]

Don't be so anxious.

Trick or treat, that will take your mind of it. Also give me the candy 😈

[flowrite]

Sorry! I know it mostly worked out in the end, but I lost several people I cared about in August, and I have new people I don't want that to happen to.

hmmm~ treat :)

[playdolls]

Care about less people, problem solved.

[brokenlight]

Trick or treat!

[flowrite]

Treat! That gives you little candies on your screen, right?

[brokenlight]

That's right. And now you get a treat!

[judgementkazzy]

Trick or treat? :-)

It would be nice if Retrospec could actually do anything to help us.
But knowing that we should be careful is at least kind of helpful.

[flowrite]

That's true! I just wish we had a little more idea of when, you know? Although if being careful will help us avoid the worst of it, maybe we'll get lucky and it won't be monsters this time!

Also treat (◠‿◠✿)

[judgementkazzy]

Oh, I got candy. :-) Thanks, Fai.

But yeah, it would be nice if they could specify.
"Stay indoors on October whatever" would be nice.
I really hope it's not monsters again...

[thisloveisjustice]

I'm still kind of not wanting to fight anything right now? Can we not have a monster battle during my birthday?

Trick or treat

[flowrite]

omg Tatsuo your birthday is coming up?? When is it!! Are you having a party? (◕▽◕✿)

Hmmm~ Trick! Let's see what you've got ;)

[hadeir]

Is there a way to avoid all of this before it starts?

Trick or treat.

[flowrite]

It doesn't sound like it. Were you on the app when the monsters were here in August?

Treat! (◕ᴗ◕✿)

[totallynotanoni]

I'm starting to doubt they have much control over the situation in the first place.

On another note, Trick or Treat, I guess?

[flowrite]

No, it really doesn't sound like they do, does it? I just hate the idea of sitting back and waiting for something bad to happen. We don't know how to protect those that need to be protected if we don't even know what's coming...

Hm, trick! Give me a good one ;)

[toobigtohandle]

[So guess who was talked into this by his boyfriend]

Trick or treat?

[flowrite]

[HMM, FUNNY THAT. Fai would have never guessed!]

For being such a good sport and so adorable, have a treat (◕ᴗ◕✿)

[keystaff]

I think it's cute too! Fai-san, trick or treat?

But. You think we might have to fight?

[flowrite]

Treat, of course! (◕ᴗ◕✿)

I really hope not. I just wish there was something proactive we could do to stop... whatever it is. But if it comes to fighting again, there are a lot of good fighters on the app. I'm sure they can keep everyone safe, don't worry ♥

[seeker]

hard to prepare for anything when you don't know what's going to happen.
i wonder if they even know, at this point.

let's shoot for a banal distraction for the time being. trick or treat?

[flowrite]

They did a pretty good job of letting us know what was happening with the monsters back in August... but I guess you're right. They may not have as much information this time.

Ah, since we haven't really met before, you can have a treat! (◠‿◠✿)
