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. This is an overflow for the original post HERE! Please feel free to continue threads from there or to make new toplevels as you like.

i am more of a cherry garcia kind of guy but yeah, that sounds about right.
why can't retrospec just give us ice cream instead of whatever weird anomalies we are supposed to be looking out for?
that would be a better way to bribe us.

season two

by which i mean how long before something like august happens again and we find out more about joanne and maurice since i doubt we'll learn anything else about any of them until then

[complementing]

hehe well I'll help David get you to 'flail your hands around while standing on your two feet' if he needs me to

or I could just sit to the side and cheer you on?

[complementing]

you got it!

I'm going to go trick or treating at the Towers for candy, and then probably go to an actual party later in the night

dinner and drinks and dancing~

[burningblossoms]

[Oh no! It's even better!]

Yay even better!

[complementing]

you should totally go for it!!!!

[complementing]

no it seems like Joanne is more thoughtful than that

kind of makes me want to actually try and make these treats

[complementing]

oh no

we're as pure as the flour we sift

[windeity]

i am not sure i ever went through a selfie phase.
i never really took them? most of my pictures were because of dad or nanna or my friends or whatever.
and anyway your pictures from now are not that bad. i saw the ones from the party, remember?
but sure. selfies and more pictures of you. we can do that, whatever.
halloween selfies.

[parodeity]

what costume ideas do you have

[windeity]

hehehe.
happy october!
i'll send you a list of movie recs later.

[penalizing]

as long as i'm not stuck green for the rest of the week after!!
but i'll think about it

[matchbreaker]

Would you even notice when you're on the floor?

[cornets]

It goes away after a while
Like in real life

[cornets]

And just as sweet as sugar

Or something like that!

[complementing]

if they have a lot of fancy machines that take care of the work for them, then maybe they don't need much more than a skeleton crew?

[saburai]

It wouldn't be too difficult to make small animal-shaped treats, depending on what type of dessert you were aiming for.

[standalonehuman]

Hanging on to ourselves while getting the memories of these other people, that's the big goal, isn't it? I'm glad that you feel like you're still yourself.

I would have to believe that those worlds are real, partly because of all of the evidence that people brought back. Retrospec has operated on those worlds, or is perhaps using them for resources. One group found the lab of one of the Founding members of Recolle. Another saw blueprints for the Retrospec building, itself. I'd argue not only are they real, but that Retrospec employees might be able to travel between them.

But, again, there's that pesky 'no evidence' thing.

You. You've got more stake in this fight than some other people. I think I've said this before, but I know better than to tell you not to get involved. So I appreciate your help.

[complementing]

okay!

I don't want to push too much too fast

[matchbreaker]

Eeesh, do you have money on green not coming back or something?

[complementing]

that's the one!

[matchbreaker]

Well yes, yes, I'm not ignorant!

It's the fact it is breaking up the universe which means they need more HR. That's got to put a lot of stress on them all.

[windeity]

a few things ranging from classic to really gross and elaborate make-up.
but since i cannot apply make-up for shit, probably classic.
do you actually have ideas, or are you picking my brain for inspiration?

[complementing]

I've only seen a few people do it, I didn't even realize the font color could be changed in the first place (๑꒪▿꒪)

this is only the second time we've had a game introduced over the network I think, the first one was bingo and that was Jim's thing

[complementing]

boooooo

oh well, maybe you can get tricked by other people, then
