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.

idk how good the heads up is if we dont have any idea what were up against
i mean their anomalies r kind of a mess either way

[adoringpast]

yeah that's their specialty
being as vague as possible
ive been whining about it for months now and they're never gonna be clear on that shit so
might as well accept it

but last month they did announce some residual effects
like the thought bubbles and all those cutesy emotional effects
so it can't be all that bad

[youraffection]

its annoying as shit
tbh i think its partially a tactic to get us all riled up
its working

yea idk ill believe it when i c it
bc "residual effects" after what happened not that long ago seem like theyd be kind of awful

[adoringpast]

well aside from your usual complaints no one is actually too pissed about this online ToT crap, surprisingly enough
probably bc it's tame compared to previous incidents like taking random photos of our backsides

[youraffection]

i guess thats true
it doesnt mean we can get complacent tho
like what if it gets 2 the point that monster attacks are just another tuesday??

[adoringpast]

there aren't any monster attacks anymore though??

[youraffection]

yea 4 now!!
but we traveled to like another dimension!
that doesnt just happen once and go away!
