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.

maybe a trick or a treat? who knows.

I've written this for your use:

I, Akira Kurusu, a master of the silver tongue, purveyor of the time honored arts, a man who defies expectations, entreat you swipe right. My talents include knowing the right thing to say at the most opportune time, and I am certain to leave your heart aflame.

My passions include graphic designs, and wordsmithery (or puns, whichever you prefer).

I am certain to be a lover like no other.

I'm happy to narrate it, if you'd like. I've gotten a rather good reaction in the past to simply saying 'hello.'

[maskreant]

perfect. i'm sending this straight to my boyfriend and give you credit. i'll tell you his reaction very soon.

sure. i don't see why not?

[ i warn you now he's going to give the phone straight to Yusuke. ]

[fabrefactions]

[ can confirm there is a phone being shoved under his nose rn ]

[freeskies]

[look, he's reading it in those dulcet tones. Oops.]

[fabrefactions]

[ oh. that's a shame. ]

Somehow I thought you'd sound more insincere in general, but for narration you actually have quite a pleasant voice to listen to.

[ a least he can give a compliment when due. also hi, he was listening. now you now. ]

[freeskies]

Me? Insincere?

I've no idea what you're speaking of.

But... You two know each other.

[fabrefactions]

That's a pity. It's usually a good sign to be aware of the faults in one's character.

Yes. Akira is my roommate.

[freeskies]

I've many faults. But insincerity would be a new one to my ears.

[fabrefactions]

I'm glad to be helping you discover new and interesting things about yourself. As an artist, I do strive to bring out different sides to subjects.

[maskreant]

[ Like damn he can feel the chill here. ]

what did you do to make him dislike you this much?
