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.

league sounds more evil

[keystaff]

No, I guess not. But the more we learn about the app and these other lives of ours, maybe that might help?

[blessmefather]

Maybe they like to make fun of us? Watch us suffer? Again, bad taste on their part.

Maybe it's their way of saying trick or treat.

[ He's going to joke about the anomaly trick and game treat but he just said the magic words and now the game is kicking in and prompting Bakura to respond. Matt winces at the sound of the game but bursts into laughter again. ]

nvm i'm back and that's it that's the tag

[handstrike]

You mean "paying" close attention.

[blessmefather]

If they're friendly pranks I guess that's okay. What did you do?

[blessmefather]

How long have you been lived in Recolle? I was born here and only left for college. St. Anthony's was my family's church when I was growing up.

[toobigtohandle]

While that is certainly a possibility, as I said I would have to want to do it. And honestly, I don't. Feel free to inquire if you'd like to.

Re: Larxene

[blessmefather]

That's a lot of power to give out as a game prize. Did the powers help with anything or were the winners left to fool around to their heart's content?

[ Fun as it likely was it would have been very dangerous in the wrong hands. ]

Perhaps my own apartment would make a good candidate. I don't have a security system, I doubt even an expensive one would stop deliveries. But a camera might not be so difficult to set up. I was reading about the release of some new devices called Golems. They not only record and playback video, they can float in the air and follow basic movement commands. A few of those set to watch and record might do the trick. Between both my niece and myself as app users the chances Retrospec will send something or come to change one of us is twofold.

[darkinferno]

cynical would be the better word

but i think we all agree it's a matter of WHEN, not if

[lecturehall]

So he's your back-up?

I didn't know they had understudies in baseball.

[darkinferno]

i've heard of people doing this sort of thing for christmas, but never decorating competitions for halloween

how scary do you go, are you guys the sort of people that just do hay bales and pumpkins or do you go full out with tombstones and ghosts and body parts on the lawn

[darkinferno]

well, i know you know where to find us

if you want, come talk to me on sunday, i can help you out with some self-defense that doesn't take too much offensive work

[freeskies]

Once, and temporarily.

I was forced to endure a... rather unamusing son.

[freeskies]

Ah, but what if I were to save it for another opportune time?

[freeskies]

Of course, I'd never mean to intimate you weren't. However, there are other aspects to the season. You seem like you would be quite suited to a haunted house, for instance.

There would be an abundance of emotions to observe there.

And a well done ambiance is nigh an impossible task for most.

private;

[freeskies]

Is it really that cushy, though?

Please, elaborate, if you know of the benefits of it.

[freeskies]

Rickrolling is bad?

I may not be Rick Astley's greatest fan, but it seems all rather harmless and jovial. Someone has told me they're never going to give me up?

While not a sentiment I prefer, it's certainly not negative by any stretch of the imagination.

And my condolences for your non-existent powers.

[freeskies]

I haven't. But I wouldn't be opposed.

And... clearly you haven't been in the middle of something that requires the utmost concentration. It happens to all artists at some point.

[brokenlight]

haha Can't wait!

[brokenlight]

You work fast, don't you?

Definitely will. I'm looking forward to what you come up with.

[browbeater]

it was a bad joke

[browbeater]

pal, it's not a matter of it being too much. it's a matter of safety. we're all in this together, and i know a lot of people want to make sure everyone gets out safe.

so try not to look at it that way.

[browbeater]

i... hope she isn't? but i'll see what i can do. if i can take pastry duty off your hands, i'll try.

just one question: where are you getting the crepes for her?

[frostflowers]

[ You bet she spent a couple of minutes just typing out words to hear that song!! Like, just tapping at keys trying to get the song to sound right. ]

Aaa, this is super cute! How did you do it?
