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?

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.

LOL why, because I cook?
No, I'm afraid not. Just a little old fashioned I guess (◠‿◠✿)

yeah! NO ONE goes "hey i have food come here and help me eat it" unless they want something in return but you havent even asked me what you want yet

Sorry, I don't want anything! Except to make sure you eat well and you're not getting into too much trouble ;)

haha i can promise one of those things!

Actually that reminds me, can I ask you something?

i knew thered be something... whats up?

I heard you were mixed up in some trouble at one of the fight clubs?

tell me first, whatd you hear

That the moderator had to step in several times and that you were banned.

it was only one day and banning me doesnt mean it was fair, just that hes a hardass who can abuse his power

What happened?

dante brought an axe to the club so i took it outside to try it out
it got away from me and almost hit someone-- BUT IT DIDNT
then he got mad cause i said its stupid for people to take it easy in a club thats supposed to prep us for fighting monsters
i left them alone and the axe hit a car and that guy made a mess of it pulling it out and almost destroyed the axe too if i didnt step in and he blamed everything on me and dante wasnt even there to see it he just believed what the other guy said and cut me out

[...oh dear.]

Who was the other guy? Do you remember a name?

nope
we didnt exactly introduce ourselves you know, aside from dante screaming my name for the world to hear

Ok. I was just curious, thank you for telling me.
I just want you to be safe.

thanks but you dont need to worry about me, i got everything under control

Too late, I worry about everyone I care about. You don't get to be the exception :P
