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.

why the towers and parties? the real halloween experience is neighborhoods, with fake paper skeletons and carved pumpkins and cobweb bushes- people put so much work into decorating!

[ I'd link images!!! but I'm on my tablet at school, so. Pretend she send some pictures of her and her pretty sizable rottweiler. There's an orange and white cat present in some of the pictures too. ]

his name is chicken nugget! and my cat is orange creamsicle

[complementing]

the Tower shops give out free candy, and the parties are for drinking lmao

but no I get you, I love the decorated houses too!

oh noooo they're so cute! Chicken Nugget is especially adorable and chubby

[buncho]

still not as fun as running screaming around the neighborhood, and alcohols blahhh

chicken nuggets the best! hes going to be my horse

[complementing]

your horse, drawing your candy stash wagon? What are you going as?

[buncho]

a rabbit pirate knight who is also a ninja on the side!!

[complementing]

whoa

I wanna see how you pull that off

that's also a mouthful, you should give it a shorter name

a rabbit pirknija...?

[buncho]

[ attached image of mafuyu in her rabbit mask, an eyepatch bedazzled with a orange glitter tiger that's too neatly done for her to have made it herself, sword that looks like it's carved out of bone hoisted up and set over one shoulder, and ninja stars held in that same hand because the other one is being used to take a selfie with her phone ]

like this! and pirknija is harder to say than all of that

[complementing]

[...wow. Unbelievable.]

you're right

you have to say the whole thing to get a sense of what it really is anyways

[buncho]

yeah but its not like people are jerks as much anymore these days- you know how before, theyre all like "so what are yooouu dressed up as, little girl?" before they give you a piece of candy, and i gotta explain how im a robot dinosaur whos been blessed by a fairy to have wings and fire breathing powers and also xray vision

this year, its pretty clear what i am anyways, and im going trick or treating with friends so they dont have time to question everyone

[complementing]

yeah! I'm sure after a certain point they don't expect older teenagers and young adults to trick or treat, too

but that's where they're wrong

I plan on hitting up all of the stores and neighbors to do my part to clean them out of all their candy

[buncho]

haha while you waste your time battling shoppers at the towers and going to parties, WERE going to clean out the neighborhoods

[complementing]

that's fine, have fun with that!

do you wanna do a candy swap at the end of the night, though?

[buncho]

yeah!!!!!!! whats your favorite candy and what dont you like?? im still going around asking people and making a list but
for me its sour gummies and cherry hard candies
rindou likes caramels and milk chocolate- nothing with coconut or fruit fillings
mohammed cant eat gelatin and doesnt seem too happy about licorice and candy corn either
yanagi i think likes coconut? hell probably take rindous coconut
im still waiting to hear back from yukine and mao and idk who else, well probably figure this out halloween night

[complementing]

I'm okay with most things except for licorice and those chalky candies

my absolute favorites are kitkats and lollipops

[buncho]

ok well have to find someone who likes licorice and chalky stuff
ill write you down for kitkats and you can have my cherry lollipops if sakura can have your strawberries
and i guess dave would want apple but idk if they make apple candies, hes going to be disappointed if not

[complementing]

sounds good to me! Glad to do business with you, Mafuyu
