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.

I can help you find out about the game, if you want!

Trick or treat!

Well, I'm hungry now!

And the artwork is very cute.

But um... not much else besides that, I'm afraid.

Perhaps "trick" does something more? It's your turn, I believe.

Okay, here it goes!

[ LUCKILY SHE LIKES PUZZLES. ]

It appears to have insisted I play through a game to regain access. Did you have the choice to choose that game?

Oh no, I'm sorry!! I didn't realize that's what it meant.

It just gave me the option to show you a puzzle, and didn't know you'd be locked out...
evidentiary: (PLEASED ► yeah ok)

[personal profile] evidentiary 2017-10-03 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It was actually fun...it was a maze? I enjoy games that make you think at least a little, although I admittedly didn't expect on. What other "trick" options were there?

Oh good, as long as you don't mind.

And there was one where you slide tiles around make a picture? I'm terrible at those myself. And I think I saw a crossword puzzle, too.

Oh, I actually quite enjoy the picture puzzle ones - especially with more parts. But I also like jigsaw puzzles and the like?

Jigsaw puzzles are fine! If it's simply fitting pieces together, then I can do it.

But you should get a puzzle app for your phone, if you haven't already! (b ᵔ▽ᵔ)b
