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.

OVERFLOW, STILL OTA

Well, now that Jim and Janet are married, I suppose we all have to move on with our lives to the next most vital question:

Are Jojo and Maurice an item?

Very well, I'm feeling benevolent (and naturally, I'm a doctor, not a dentist).

A treat for you!

[thesettingsun]

Thank you, Dr. Fawkes!

There used to be a dentist living on my street when I was growing up. He gave chewing gum as Halloween treats. After a couple years I just stopped bothering with his house.

[roseblooms]

What's wrong with chewing gum? Aside from the fact that it's not candy, obviously.

In and of itself it's not all that objectionable, though, is it?

[thesettingsun]

The only problem is that it's not candy, on Halloween.

At least he didn't give out floss.

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.

I mean, duh. Everybody with half a brain can see that. Some things just go too far is all.

[roseblooms]

You think their whirlwind matrimony was taking things too far?

[twelfthspark]

Who doesn't?

I do. I'm "Foxy", of his Fantastic Five — which makes us sound unsettlingly like an atrocious nineties boy band, but so it goes.

[frostythehitman]

What the hell is the Fantastic Five.

[roseblooms]

A ragtag group of misfits and disasters who, when taken as a whole, occasionally add up to the equivalent of one vaguely competent person.

[frostythehitman]

[ oh my god. ]

Okay but what the hell do you DO?

Methinks someone doth protest quite a bit, given the circumstances. You aren't secretly entertaining designs on bidding for the lady's hand yourself, are you?

[alitaba]

[ ???????? ]

What???? No!!!!

[ ....... SHE THINKS???? ]

i just think she's neat

[roseblooms]

Are you sure? It's not a touch of the green-eyed monster?

[alitaba]

I don't [ know ] think so??

i just want the best for her!! You know, in like a 'PROTECT HER' type way!!

Job in this case is used in a figurative sense.

[lalliho]

aha

that's dumb

anyway I still think he's probably an adult

[roseblooms]

Maybe he'll do the noble thing and wait for her, then.

Or maybe they'll meet each other again in twenty years and remember their youth and fall desperately in love then. Who knows?

[lalliho]

what

what makes that noble

[darkinferno]

i guess that's the overarching plot for season two of "retrospec bullshit"

how long do you think it'll last

[roseblooms]

The bullshit, the marriage, or something else?

[darkinferno]

season two

by which i mean how long before something like august happens again and we find out more about joanne and maurice since i doubt we'll learn anything else about any of them until then

[roseblooms]

I think it's hard to say, frankly. Not enough data to make an accurate prediction, when you need at least two points to make a line and we really only have one.

I realize you were being rhetorical, but it seemed worth remarking on anyway.
