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.

That's true. It is one way I could try help! If others get involved with the app. Or, I could try answer some questions at least. I'm not sure others who had it longer might be able to explain some of it better than I could, but. It's something!

I'm unfamiliar with rabbit slices. Shows every family is different.

[ Matt had eaten a large amount of peanut butter as a child. When his father was unable to come home in time for a meal even a very young Matthew could spread some peanut butter on bread or fruit, and it didn't cost too much either. ]

[ This is what joy looks like: admiring cute cats and experiencing cathartic bliss. You can't go wrong with kitty cats.

Kouran absolutely couldn't help making a high-pitched sound once she saw the drawing. ]

(ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ It's so cute!! A cheerleader that can melt anyone's heart!

You draw too, Sakura-san?

Moviemakers want to make movies that look good at the time, making one that lasts the test of time isn't the priority.

[abovethefold]

Unfortunately, no.

But trust me, if I come up with anything at all, I'll let you know.

[He's impressed by the Russian, starting to wonder if there's anything that she's not skilled in. And then Cloud is hit with that very direct question, one that leaves him staring down at his phone, trying to figure out how to respond. Good thing this is text or else she'd see just how easily he's flustered.]

well

[Well. Well wHaT CLOUD]

красивый

[The power of copy and paste.]

[missingache]

I try not to.

[toobigtohandle]

Why are we texting when you're literally sitting right next to me?

[missingache]

[......... that's kinda weird.]

So it's just something that's there to remind me of this event?

[doitrockapella]

[It's a really good thing this isn't video on either side, because if it were, the way her eyebrows instantly shot up practically to her hairline would've been put on open display — and so would've the way that the corner of her lower lip caught beneath her teeth as she mulled that over.]

Я рад что вы так думаете.

[She's just going to lowkey refrain from translating that one, so he might have to go find someone else who speaks Russian to work it out, because sadly he can't just hover his cursor over it and let hovertext do the work for him.]

My, my, your pronunciation is superb. Are you sure you're not a native speaker?

[BECAUSE ALL HE DID WAS COPY AND PASTE A TEXT YEAH COVER OVER IT WITH HUMOR IT'LL BE FINE]

[standalonehuman]

I'm trying to make sure the name gets spread around, please just take it and run with it, I don't even know what to do with the information from here, so do what you will.

But on a personal note, I got myself looked at, just to see if there would be any sign of deep-brain stimulation in the memory areas of the brain for us users? Nothing.

[invocate]

That would be fun! Yes, I would like to help you!

[surprising]

you've never decorated a christmas tree before?

[ there's a first for everything, he supposes, but he wants to be sure. ]

[strawberrypunch]

Treat

[And lo and behold, treat get! And now for Keigo's turn:]

Trick or treat?

[matchbreaker]

Well, over a weekend, I suppose I could? It's not that much.

[godcards]

They can figure it out themselves. If not, well, just let idiots be idiots. I still don't see why Retrospec mandated posts are necessary.

[complementing]

["Not that much"..........]

you should find someone to go with you, though

the buddy system is important!

[matchbreaker]

[ Look she's really wealthy... ]

Are you open to it?

[matchbreaker]

Not all of them. There are people on the force doing their best, but their superiors are as oblivious as anyone else.

[matchbreaker]

There aren't any physical signs? That's actually very surprising.

I will take the name and try to spread it. I'm not sure I got my planetarium information out enough before myself.

[matchbreaker]

They aren't, if people were to organize out periodic catch up posts. But it's not like we *know* when they'll add a new batch of users.

[matchbreaker]

You don't find it to be a fun challenge?

[embraves]

[Text makes this so hard to judge reactions. Did he just make a fool of himself? Did she just laugh at it and think nothing of it? Which was worse? Why can't he go back in time and respond differently?

Ugh.

He rubs at the back of his neck, and tells himself that, well, joking is not a bad response. (Why is he so terrible at this? He's an idiot.)

His reply is delayed regardless.]

i'd be a better native speaker if i could actually read whatever it is you just wrote me

[lecturehall]

I don't like many sports, Eijun.

[doitrockapella]

[Uh-oh. Is he delaying his response because he's put off? Is he in the middle of something and just had to step away for a minute? Is his silence nothing? Is it Something? Hm hm hm hm.]

"Я рад" is "I'm glad."

[Well. Nori-kakatta fune, as her mentor would gently chide her — in for a penny, in for a pound.]

You said красивый suits me. I said I'm glad you think so.

[Hmm.]

That you, specifically, think so.
