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 mean that it's a big thing in America, so of course it's a big thing in this city!

all of the houses on my street are already completely decorated, and the community center has several events lined up over the month, AND a lot of people are planning costumes for the big day too

[blind_badass]

Well in that case, I guess it must look very festive by you. Have you picked a costume yet?

[complementing]

yes! I'm going as Red Riding Hood, and my puppy Koromaru will be my Huntsman

but the costume was easier to make than I thought it would be, so I might be able to make another easy one, or go out and buy one

[blind_badass]

[Snake can actually picture that to some degree, even the color.]

Are you rather skilled in making costumes?

[complementing]

oh no, not really, but I found an easy pattern online and was able to make something

it's mostly just the hood and cape that I made on my own, all the rest of the clothes are just red and white and black things from my closet!

and Korochan's costume I bought from the store

[blind_badass]

I'd have to settle for buying a costume if I were to go to a party. Not very good at crafting, I'm afraid.

[complementing]

no shame in that! I think a lot of people buy theirs anyways...it's hard to make pirate outfits or princess outfits on your own unless you're really good at improvising

what would you want to go as, anyways?

[blind_badass]

I've been told I am a bit on the pale side so I suppose I could see if the vampire look would work.

[complementing]

oh yeah!

or a ghost?

or you could wrap yourself up in toilet paper and be a mummy

but really it should depend on what you want to be and not how you look
