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.

[Now Kotone's Retrospect UI has toilet paper with jack-o-lantern prints hanging off the buttons, menus, and text windows. She has to tap and drag the ends to lift it up in order to use the buttons for at most 10 minutes.]

Did it work?

[penalizing]

it did!!
but now i'm seeing what you mean about it being a little annoying at times

oh well

[cornets]

It goes away after a while
Like in real life

[penalizing]

well in real life it doesn't go away unless you clean it up
so at least it doesn't require as much work this way???

[cornets]

Huh I always thought the rain would wash it away

[penalizing]

it might get soggy and melt a little, but there'd still be a ball of toilet paper left behind, i think
and if it doesn't rain at all then it just stays there forever...

[cornets]

[He's left wondering what happens to tp in the toilet but that's probably getting away from the point.]

That's pretty gross
Yeah it's a good thing it's just virtual toilet paper then

[penalizing]

yeah....
it's why i wouldn't do it in real life, but it's ok here!!

[cornets]

It's
Something you considered though
?

[penalizing]

in real life???
no, not really
i've just seen it in tv and movies and stuff

[cornets]

Really?
I haven't seen it done on tv in a long time

[penalizing]

oh, i dunno how recent they are!!
but i've seen it in a bunch of tv and movies since coming here

[cornets]

Where are you from?

[penalizing]

a small town in japan!!
like, so small that i'm related to half of the people there small

[cornets]

Wow! I thought my hometown was pretty small but yours is something else

[penalizing]

yeah, okinawa's definitely not that small!!
it was kinda nice, though
everyone knew everybody

[cornets]

That sounds like a TV show itself
Much better than my hometown

[penalizing]

i dunno if it'd make a very good show
there's not a whole lot to do there, after all...
a city like recolle has a lot more things for fun

[cornets]

A lot of good shows take place in one house I think
Recolle is pretty big but
I do like smaller communities that are closer
Kind of like this app and what we're doing right now

[penalizing]

that's true, sometimes it's so big that it's lonely
but i think school and friends help with that a lot
for me at least

[cornets]

They help me too
Even if they don't seem to see the stuff that's been going on

Though I'm pretty sure if they did have this app and played this game with us
I wouldn't be able to use my phone from all the tricks

[penalizing]

i guess that means it's doubly a good thing they don't have it, then

[cornets]

Yeah
I don't think I'd be able to farm candy from those guys
