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.

I'm not saying you don't have a lot on your shoulders too, you know. You're both pretty impressive to me!

Well, hm. How about a cake? Does he like cake? (I'm pretty sure most people like cake)

My friend made it. She's great for icons!

I think he has more work than I do.

But of course he likes cake! Just hm. Maybe not something too sweet like chocolate. Maybe a sponge one, with strawberries! Strawberries are the best!


[...well that's her obvious bias but still. She's not wrong in her brother not being allergic to strawberries or anything, so.]

I wish neither of you had to work so hard. Just remember if there's ever anything I can do to help let me know, ok?

That's a great idea! Maybe the next time he's doing homework or something I can stop by, since he'll be home and won't have to worry about you, and we can make it while he's not paying attention and surprise him ;)

You already help a lot, Fai-san!

But hm. That's an idea. If he is home, he's usually in his room with his assignments or readings if he isn't helping make the meal or eating with me, supervising my homework. So that could work. Or if we do it earlier in the afternoon before he gets home and surprise him for dessert!

I wouldn't mind doing it earlier to surprise him, but do you think he'd be ok with me coming over when he's not home? I just don't want to do anything to make him not trust me, or make him worry about you.
worry about you more than usual, anyway (◠‿◠✿)

I don't see why you couldn't. We'd just be in the kitchen baking, not going through his room or anything. I am allowed friends over.

[Yeah that's... that's not exactly what he meant, Sakura, but that's okay. You're too little and precious to have to worry about stuff like that yet anyway.]

If you think it'd be okay... does it seem like he's okay with you and me being friends? Has he said anything?

[She's more thinking invasion of privacy or something. Not so much the implications on her having him around while alone at home.]

He doesn't seem that against it.
Probably because you took us for pizza. And the dessert you helped get.
He's a glutton like that.

LOL well. the way to a teenage boy's heart is through his stomach, it's true (◠‿◠✿)

Something like that, I guess. Which I guess we shouldn't complain on in this case at least.
