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.

[glaciers]

Then it's your favorite holiday, right?
Trick or treat?

[redarm]

of course! no other compares.

[glaciers]

It's nice. No big family gatherings like on Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Just sweets and costumes.

That's cute, there's a little virtual candy.

[redarm]

yeah!
and the horror movies and creepy decorations?
i fucking love it.

really?
aw
i was kinda hoping itd be real candy.

[glaciers]

I'm not a huge horror movie fan. But you should give me your recommendations.

...
How would they do that?

[redarm]

recommendations? that depends! do you like slashers, psychological, monsters, ghosts?

i dunno?
same way they send everything else to us?

[glaciers]

I like monsters and psychological.

I think we'd have to have those treats in our other lives first. Before they can send them to us.

[redarm]

get out or alien then probably.

i dunno, they sent us weapons through a mailbox that didnt belong to us once. they could make it work.

[glaciers]

I'll put them on the to watch list.

They did? I've never gotten anything I didn't- my double didn't own.

[redarm]

cool.

yeah, it was during all the shit that went down during august. even gave us bazookas and shit.
too bad we had to return them.

[glaciers]

Were you here or in unreality for that?

[redarm]

here. spent most of the time fighting monsters.

[glaciers]

We spent most of our time solving puzzles in unreality.
I'm a little jealous.
Monsters seem more straightforward.

[redarm]

that sounds like a pain in the arse.
yeah
i mean monsters are dangerous but
you just gotta punch them hard.

[glaciers]

See? Straightforward.
We were lucky we had somebody who knew morse code or we would've been trapped.

[redarm]

yeah shit
no kidding.
who the fuck knows morse code??

[glaciers]

Seto Kaiba and Carmen Sandiego.
I don't know if anybody else knows it.
I have a practice sheet now though.

[redarm]

oh the convention guy right?
tch
guess it wouldnt hurt to brush up on it.

[He's good at codes anyway. One of the few things he does for fun.]

[glaciers]

Yeah.
Carmen runs the Sandiego foundation too.
I think there was something about college scholarships.

[redarm]

oh right. cause college is fucking expensive here.
thought about an entry about that
but colleges not really for me so
didnt pay close attention.

[glaciers]

Is it not expensive somewhere else?
I don't think I'm going either.
