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.

Well what have you been voting for lately? I voted for the fruit fairly often because a [ . . . What the hell do you call Wesker? Uh- ] friend of mine has seemed quite bothered by them for a while.

[matchbreaker]

Oh it *definitely* does. I've never heard all that much about this man, but the fact of the matter is that is pretty close to what they claim they're doing. Worth following just as much as looking into the founders all the more.

Basic empathy

[abovethefold]

Do you need to do anything with it? You just look at it and know that it's there. It's something sweet that somebody chose to give you.

[matchbreaker]

New York?

[abovethefold]

It depends on what you go for and when. Many vocational schools start accepting students during their junior year of high school and it simply replaces the last two years, and then you've got the skills you need to take on a job immediately afterward without having to worry about college.

[abovethefold]

Exactly. Not to mention I wonder if a judge's decision would be permitted to pass muster in the absence of any legal documents or evidence that's visible to the rest of the judicial department? It seems to me it would be very easy to claim the trial was a farce otherwise.

[thisloveisjustice]

nah. i always ate them plain as a kid. though my mom had this way she could cut them that made the slices look like little rabbits. i don't think i tasted peanut butter until pb&j sandwiches in elementary school.

[frostflowers]

[ At least it's weird and cute! ]

It'd be nice, huh? I guess it'd weird too, but this app causes a lot of weird things already.

[frostflowers]

Oh, that was still nice of them to do...
It's a shame if the Retrospec employees don't, though! But at least the colour green is back.
Can you imagine a Christmas without green? The Christmas trees would look very strange!

[buncho]

hhhhhhhh ill look into it i guess. i joined the football team this year and dont want to quit, and theres people i like seeing at school too, so maybe next year or something

[windeity]

i'll report any weird findings, trust me. catch you later!

[embraves]

[Cloud is a patient young man, more or less.]

why red?
because it's a bold color?

[fabrefactions]

She is a very charming young woman, yes.

[doitrockapella]

Did you know that the Russian word for "red" comes from the same Slavic root as the word for "beautiful"?

Renaissance painters used the color red as a way of drawing the viewer's attention. Of all the colors, it's the one most associated with visibility.

I always liked that. "Why try to fit in when you were born to stand out", and so on.

[judgementkazzy]

Oh, that'd be really cute...
They would wear such tiny hats...

[redarm]

only talked to her once, so ill take your word for it.

Re: DEREK

[blondferret]

Did you miss my Star Wars reference? It was from episode four. Come one Matt!

[And this is how Derek changes topics.]

[complementing]

a good a start as any

only problem is, who's willing to basically put a hold on their life here to try and look for something that might not even be there in NYC?

[lecturehall]

I don't think I understand why dropping it is a bad thing.
Does it negate the point?

[surprising]

i'm grateful for green back in time for the holidays, but no way!! there's nothing festive about grey trees at all
putting on tinsel and ornaments — one of the best parts of christmas — would become meaningless

[saburai]

It sounds like the police turn a blind eye to them as well, so I suppose it's to be expected.

[saburai]

If nothing else, you can always help orient those who are new to the app while you gather that knowledge. That may help alleviate any feelings of not contributing.

Re: DEREK

[blessmefather]

Wait. Is that why when my phone read that I heard Darth Vader talking in my head? Or was it the Emperor? It's been too long since I sat down for Star Wars.

[frostythehitman]

So basically they've covered their tracks since day one by making sure we're the only ones who can ever know about it.
