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.

hmm... maybe doing that would cause panic among the citizens?
i mean, some of us have cool weapons and powers now
but just being able to fight stuff probably wouldn't solve everything for them

[cornets]

I guess you have a point
There's a lot of people with the app who can't fight or do that cool stuff

[But what is he supposed to do? All he can do is play soccer. And maybe turn into a horse later? The memory makes his head hurt.]

I'm sorry. This is heavy stuff. We should have fun with this while we can

[surprising]

[ why is he turning into a horse... ]

it's fine! don't worry about it. it's better to talk about this now and learn about it
rather than when there's something serious going on

oh— the trick's effects are gone. it's been... 10 minutes, i think?

[He's not sure why he used to be able to turn into a horse. Maybe it has something to do with soccer...................]

Still. I shouldn't be dumping this on you when we're playing a game

It's gone for me too now

[Way to dodge talking about your feelings Arion]

[surprising]

[ horses and soccer.... ]

actually, it's more common for strangers to talk about serious things at the beginning of each month
rather than getting fun games to play... depending on what unfortunate news retrospec has for us
compared to what i've seen, that doesn't even count as dumping — so don't worry!

[cornets]

[In space fighting aliens.]

I see
That makes sense when you think about how it's really is the only place to talk about this stuff...

Thank you.
If you want to keep farming candy we can

[surprising]

i think i'm good on the candy! if you ever feel troubled, people like me are always all ears
sometimes, when it comes to troubling things... it's easier to tell it to strangers than people you do know
