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.

A classmate shared some with me without mentioning they were sour. The sugar on it IS A LIE. It's messy too.

[surprising]

they were just trying to give you a nice surprise!! i see why you dislike it, though
i'd say to dip it in even more sugar, but that'd make it even messier...

[maskreant]

you can still help her by encouraging her with pastry rewards.









there's no way that she's reading this, right?

[ !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

what kind of pet were you going for?

maybe your soul pet will have manicured hands. reconsider.

[maskreant]

who said Halloween is actually scary?

do you live on your own? also, why don't you take him to Build-a-Bear?

[maskreant]

you know me so well, Iwai...

i'm actually an honor student, too.

I see
That makes sense when you think about how it's really is the only place to talk about this stuff...

Thank you.
If you want to keep farming candy we can

Pretzels, hm? That's perfect. You can bring them in whenever you'd like.

Are you dressing up this year? You've been in training.

That sounds like a fatal weakness. I'm sure some girls will take advantage of that, especially if you admit it in public like this. Shouldn't you play things closer to the vest?

Even then, it's too late as far as I'm concerned. I don't plan on moving for a while, but when I do I know who'll be moving my couch.

[toobigtohandle]

Okay.

[Kenta has been using the same option for tricks, because most people seem to enjoy it. Rindou's app locks and little flying bats appear on his screen. They vanish when they're tapped and reappear after a few seconds. The app will unlock once all the bats are tapped to they vanish at the same time.]

[flowrite]

Ah, good point! especially since classes have started again. I'll let you know :)

Kirigiri? So, you too, then? It's strange how many of us know one another.

Thank you for the treat. I'll be sure to add it to the list of donations. Being more popular would have its benefits here.

[feistytrader]

Maybe I will.

November 1st. You, me, our paychecks, and way too much candy. Sound good?

[feistytrader]

Do I?
What did you mean, Elda?

[Silver is starting to realize that this was a mistake, but at the same time, no mistakes, no regrets, we charge through our decisions like men. Or something. He's not backing out now.]

Thanks for the candy. I'm not sure about Terra's odds, however. Cupcakes are a strong incentive.

It's not really ideal, but going on your own two feet is harder when there's no supervision. It's not like crime really happens that often here, even on Halloween, but I still don't know many parents who'd let young children out alone. Not to mention children without them.

[windeity]

i am at least 80% sure you can do much better.

[adoringpast]

not really
i think the reason why it's taking such a long time to bring all these colors back is bc the poll results are too spread out
if we all vote on one thing first, we can get it back sooner
and then go for the next one
lather rinse repeat

[flowrite]

hahaha, sorry! but not really that song is a CLASSIC, other people are just weird if they don't appreciate it (◠‿◠✿)

[surprising]

[ rindou spends a few minutes tapping away at the virtual bats, replying after he succeeds in getting them to vanish at the same time. ]

oh!! that was really fun
and the best trick i've seen yet
it was like a mini-game?

It's that simple for them to give people special powers... No wonder they're able to match the powers people have seen in memories. For all we know the Retrospec employees have used that same ability to empower themselves. Isn't that what most people would do if they had a machine that could do that? Grant abilities to trusted friends first.

[ ooc: original comment here! ]

a game, huh... i guess that's one way to distract everyone for a while.

is this shit gonna freeze on a scary face or make a really loud noise if i don't play along? because i really don't want to accidentally chuck my phone across the room if i can help it.

what i wanna know is how they can predict these anomalies but still haven't mastered the art of containing them... they're almost as useful as meteorologists at this point.

...you never know, honestly. they apparently don't have a great handle on the situation, so it's up in the air...

[ who's paranoid??? not him... surely... ]

at least a chicken can't lie to your face... probably.

that's a dangerous way of thinking...

...wait, she has cupcakes??? like, she's givin them out or somethin?!

trick or treat?

After all the tricks they've played in the past why get upset over something so small though? You've noticed a pattern of poor taste on their end. It can't be all that surprising that they're disappointing you again.
