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.

I believe this is a reaction to my trick. Or perhaps our second conversation. He is quite sincere about art, and he knows that I am not.

How unfortunate. I can't say I remember having any powers, as well... but it's likely, I suppose.

And no, rickrolling was not the prank.

Fine.

I gave him a treat. Apparently he's competing with someone else?

Or dead.

I wonder what they mean by "nothing to lose." Judging by the previous statement, that could even include one's life. Not a happy thought.

Trick or treat. It can't hurt to amass some candy on this app.

uh... sure. but i don't think they'd warn us if that was the case, either. but no matter what, people who have the app will think whatever is happening is normal.

so.

no need to apologize to me. i just wanted to make sure you weren't overly optimistic about what could happen. it doesn't do anyone any good if they get trapped by a monster or something.

and if you're not super athletic, you might wanna hit some other people up for training. i know a few people who are personal trainers on the app. i'd offer to help teach you boxing, but i'm already teaching a few people and i don't think i could balance it between work.
browbeater: But it's miiiiine. (I have the dorkiest family.)

yeah, i know. that's pretty normal for a lot of people, it feels like.
but it's just a suggestion if you're really gonna try to help her study.

I wish we knew. We're going on four months so far...

I think the game is just because of the Halloween season. It's pretty cute, if you ask me!

A "fairly high level anomaly?" Considering they're warning us about it this time, I have to wonder how dangerous this has the possibility of being... please everybody, stay safe this month. Let's not have
a repeat of August.

That all being said, this Halloween theme is pretty cute! Maybe I'll have to find the time to give it a try.

Trick or treat, Retrospec?

[Luckily, her answer is easy.]

No, I didn't. For one thing, I was far too busy with a case to play. For another, I'm not going to commit assault just because a social media network tells me to do so.

I wish we'd been able to get the word out to more people that they were there, but it was kind of a last minute thing. Hopefully nothing like that will happen again, but if it does, we'll be sure to be there for everybody.

[Goodness. Katherine's beginning to see why she has so much trouble in school--she doesn't listen.]

That's why I'm trying to help you find an alternate way of learning. Not everybody is meant to sit and listen to lectures! But if you can find a way to make it interesting, whether that's by going outside to study or by hands-on learning, you'll find a lot more success--and maybe find out that it's not so boring after all.
