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 already gave you a treat!! I'm not tricking you or being tricky or anything related to cartoon rabbits that steal cereal

Aren't you curious about what happens when we get tricked??

I'm just trying to be useful and discover things that are maybe helpful...
Mostly I'm just really curious

If it does something that kills me i promise i wont blame you

Trick or treat, kyouko!!

[ ayano gets to play a round of a bubble-popping color-matching game. you know the kind. ]

Even if you wouldn't blame me, I shouldn't like to be responsible for a death.

KYOUKO THAT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN THE TREATS

I got to play a fun mini game, like one of those match 3 games that make you pay a dollar to play more than five times

A trick when played correctly can be fun, can't it?

Perhaps when you have other people play tricks on you, you can make requests?

[kagepuro]

that'd be lucky! So if you wanted to get the same game as me, maybe you'd ask for it and I'd trick you and then you'd get it...?

That's awfully nice of Joanne...

[evidentiary]

Well, if you'd like to play another trick on me, I don't particularly mind.

[kagepuro]

I'm gonna trick the heck out of you, kyouko

You have to say trick or treat first though I'm pretty sure those are the Rules

And even if they're not it's more fun that way

[evidentiary]

Well then, trick or treat...?

[kagepuro]

trick, kyouko! ☠️

[With any luck, kyouko will get to play the same retrospec candy crush clone as her. It really was quite fun.]
