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.

i forgot, i need to update like six times an hour to keep up with the strider quota.
i could probably stand to update my instagram a little though.

[parodeity]

you could stand to take more pictures with me

[windeity]

i feel like if i agree with that i am basically signing my life away.
am i making a deal with a selfie devil?

[parodeity]

actually i dont have a lot of pictures of me
im the one in my family who takes the pictures and i tend to take them of other people
so the pictures that exist are selfies with friends usually
or ones my siblings got annoyed enough to take

[windeity]

wait really?
that is actually sort of surprising.
i mean not that you take pictures of people, i already knew that, i meant the first part.

[parodeity]

i went through a selfie phase but it was like years ago
these days i take more like
idk
artistic shots of other people and things i guess
i have like SOME pictures of me
just not a lot

[windeity]

i am not sure i ever went through a selfie phase.
i never really took them? most of my pictures were because of dad or nanna or my friends or whatever.
and anyway your pictures from now are not that bad. i saw the ones from the party, remember?
but sure. selfies and more pictures of you. we can do that, whatever.
halloween selfies.

[parodeity]

what costume ideas do you have

[windeity]

a few things ranging from classic to really gross and elaborate make-up.
but since i cannot apply make-up for shit, probably classic.
do you actually have ideas, or are you picking my brain for inspiration?

[parodeity]

maybe i will be three hold punch dave

[windeity]

i am at least 80% sure you can do much better.

[parodeity]

why 80%

[ u watch urself or ill make u remember his snapchat halloween costume ]

[windeity]

[I forgot about that and now I gotta.]

i have to be allowed some skepticism around you, don't i?

[parodeity]

nope
because im 100% genuine around you clearly

[windeity]

absolutely you are.
i am thinking of asking rose for ideas.
she seems way too willing to tell me my fashion sense sucks, so she might be helpful.

[parodeity]

its not so bad

[windeity]

all three of us should hang out sometime soon, i think. it would be good for us.
oh hey btw. trick or treat?

[parodeity]

trick

[ because he assumes that will be more fun for john. ]

[windeity]

[That's not wrong, and John weighs his options carefully before picking something.

On Dave's screen, the entire thing is taken over by a Halloween-themed rhythm game in which Dave has to hit the correct buttons in the right order in order to get back to his phone. However, at the very last beat the screen switches and a bat screeches to fly at the screen as a jumpscare, clearing the game whenever Dave finishes.]

[parodeity]

[ ...he's good enough at the rhythm game not to miss a beat even with a jump scare, but there's the most deadpan expression as he leans back.

and john misses it all since they're just texting. ]

how did you know rhythm games are the way to my heart

[windeity]

a lucky guess.
anyway, brainstorm costume ideas. i will be back to the room in a little while.

[parodeity]

yeah yeah
bring me back a latte
