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?

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.

Hey, you never know what's gonna come out when your opponent fights with keysmash! It's like the ultimate technique and applies in real life as well!

I have no idea what you just said to me, kid.

It's like

give me a sec

"Sometimes an opponent who acts without a plan can be more difficult to deal with than trying to counter an expert"? There's also that blindly tossing everything at a wall until something sticks is a prime recipe for landing a lucky hit.

Have you never played a fighting game before?

Nope. Couldn't afford to growing up.
explodosafe: (say what?)

[personal profile] explodosafe 2017-10-14 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Not even in an arcade?
geckoman: (Ehhhhh)

[personal profile] geckoman 2017-10-14 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
I liked food more. If I had any leftover money I got candy.
explodosafe: (come on~)

[personal profile] explodosafe 2017-10-14 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. That's the priorities of a different generation for you.

I'd safe up and go for dumbbells.
geckoman: (Early morning light)

[personal profile] geckoman 2017-10-15 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Less generation and more that I knew if I didn't focus on food I wasn't going to be fed by anyone.
explodosafe: (I don't think I get you)

[personal profile] explodosafe 2017-10-15 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess taking care of your basic needs always come first...

Still, we're talking aside of those, right? I mean, I'm getting sort of threatened over halloween candies already in another convo, but I don't think sweets are all that important, right?

[personal profile] geckoman 2017-10-15 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Kid. You have betrayed me.

[How can you say that? Have you missed how he always has a lollipop in his mouth?]
explodosafe: (bro we need to stay calm!)

[personal profile] explodosafe 2017-10-15 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
What? She expects me to make them!
geckoman: (I got up for this?)

[personal profile] geckoman 2017-10-15 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Hang on. What's your candy problem exactly?
explodosafe: right when they said "stay together" (stop! stop! stoooop!)

[personal profile] explodosafe 2017-10-15 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Mafuyu got wind that I'm planning on skipping out on Halloween this year, so she said that she'd be coming by and making me.

When I countered that there's no way I could have sweets for her trick and treating because the communal kitchens are always taken she invited me to come over and make them at her place. And then stay for dinner. And maybe trick or treating but maybe she's also doing a hit on me and I'm so confused I could scream!

Did YOU ever have a woman invite you to use her kitchen and just stay over??
geckoman: (Why am I here?)

[personal profile] geckoman 2017-10-16 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Well that's not a conversation I'm going to have with you.

[He is not going to tell you why women wanted him to stay over in the past okay.]

Anyway, why don't you just ask her if she likes you? If she does it means you've got something to be proud of. It's pretty great when a girl notices you.

And if she doesn't it's not the end of anything. You're still young.


[...He sounds like a dad. What is going on here.]
explodosafe: (no way...)

[personal profile] explodosafe 2017-10-16 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
But daaad-



;P


[Look, you can't give him an opening like that and then expect him not to take it.]

Joke aside, do you know Mafuyu? Of course she's gonna say she likes me if I ask her, I mean she already introduced me to her dog and took me to her tree house and wants to start a club with me.

But it's also like... Look, I don't think she gets the difference between pals and like-like if you don't spell it out for her? And I'm not gonna do that.

Besides, I don't know what I'm feeling for her either.
geckoman: (Business dad)

[personal profile] geckoman 2017-10-18 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha. Funny, kid.

Never heard of her though.

But I guess if she doesn't get it that gives you some time to figure out how you feel before you try to show her anything.
explodosafe: (no way...)

[personal profile] explodosafe 2017-10-19 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmmh. I guess that's good.

tbh I never really stopped to think about those things. romance & me, I mean.
geckoman: (Stretch)

[personal profile] geckoman 2017-10-23 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
You don't really need to honestly. You've got years to figure that stuff out or if you even want that in your life.
explodosafe: (the rules I break for you bro)

[personal profile] explodosafe 2017-10-24 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe not, if it means that I might pull them into my messes. I know that some people hooked up over retrospec already, but I don't think that's really a good idea.
