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.

I'm always up for games.

Trick or treat! XD

[freeskies]

Treat.

[not that he's afraid of tricks, but, really. he knows when to ask for them.]

[maidhem]

Oh~

So boring, Franklin.

[But she pushes the button to send the virtual candy no less-- hopefully that's enough to appease Franklin's need to play.]

I expected more when you said you were game.

[freeskies]

Why, if I accepted your trick, I might have lost my delightful pink color scheme. I'd be quite remiss.

Trick or treat, Felicia?

[maidhem]

I'd NEVER ruin your lovely pink color scheme!
How dare you even think like that!

Hm. I was going to let you play a trick on me... but, since you doubted me, I'm not sure if I want to.

[freeskies]

But if you don't, how can you find fault in my sense of adventure? It would seem ours are much aligned, then.

[maidhem]

You know I've gotta hassle you.

Okay. Trick it is.

[freeskies]

[welp. every time she opens the app, she's gonna get this song playing at her.

he's nice, and is not putting it on repeat.]

[maidhem]

Oh~ how classy! ♥

I love it, Franklin. I think I'll keep it all month!

[freeskies]

I do aim to please.

Or at least present a bit of thought into my tricks.

[maidhem]

Well I'm actually impressed this time. You always are good at picking things with style.

[freeskies]

Well, that certainly wouldn't have changed from before. I quite like you otherwise, it would be a shame to ruin the fun.

[maidhem]

That's right. We'd both be at a loss if we never spoke to one another again over something so silly.

[freeskies]

I'm glad we see eye to eye on that much, if nothing else.

[maidhem]

Just because you're a lout once the L-Word gets involved doesn't make you a bad person. It just means we're not compatible as partners.

I'm over it, and there's no reason to hold a grudge.

[freeskies]

Alas, intemperate though it may be, you're not incorrect. I prefer something much more casual.

But your gracious acceptance is more than I've gotten from other amours.

[maidhem]

My Dad became a lot like you after Mom died--
and I know better than to try to change that. Lots of other people aren't so understanding.

You've your reasons I'm sure, but they're your's to sort out. I'm not dealing with another man like my Dad that close in my life, that's all.
