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.

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.

idk to be honest
its hard to know what to think about all this sometimes

sometimes someone says something super scientific and im like
okay that makes sense
and then something happens that no one knows what to think
so they say its magic

so idk
everyone is saying different things

It's almost the best time of the year: Halloween!
Does anyone have any costume plans? Maybe we should dress up as our userpics!


[Haru's has her as a vampire, with her skin tone replaced with a pearly white color and exaggerated fangs over her teeth.]

Just so everyone knows, for this month only, I'll be making caramel apples for the Garden Gate Farmer's Market! I've been looking into making unique designs for them this year, so please let me know what you'd like to see, and you may get a free one in said design if I see you! (/^▽^)/

And because I can't resist the siren's call of Halloween, trick or treat!

It'd be cute little addition to it! (*^▽^*) And a reminder of how much fun this was.

And I think I'll go with trick this time!

It's almost as bad as Black Friday, wouldn't you say? All those people lined up just to get discount candy.

i went exploring and found the option, hehe. it just feels more natural to me? for reasons.

oh yeah, i think someone told me about the bingo thing? i missed that but this sounds a little more fun and less likely to end with a bunch of us splitting off into unreality...

have you really never had it??? i highly recommend it if you like fruit at all. or anything sweet.
what would the ice cream even do? change the color of our tongues or something?
...maybe you have a point. with them, nothing can be trusted.
what a bummer.

you can make up just about anything and make it sound like science, i think. especially if you write facts and pass them off as facts.
maybe i just want to believe it's magic because it sounds more fun.
are you more of a science fan or a magic fan, sora?

Yes, it's easy. But what's the point?

[personal profile] toobigtohandle 2017-10-06 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. And given their past record, which do you think is more likely?

I will concede it's cute, despite the content.
... How would you even make it into a costume? ( ≡゚Д゚) ? It's so rounded at the bottom and slender at the top.
