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.

How long have you been lived in Recolle? I was born here and only left for college. St. Anthony's was my family's church when I was growing up.

[ Part of the holiday crowd then! Not too surprising. There were some people Matt only bumped into at mass twice a year at Easter and Christmas. ]

Back again for university?

[ That's a terrible pun and he drops his face into his hands when his phone reads it but he's smiling and barely holding back a laugh. Has no one at City Hall thought to put that kind of thing on a t-shirt to sell to tourists yet? He'll have to ask. ]

I would comment on how much the city has and hasn't changed in certain areas but I don't know how different they really look.
What show are you a part of if you don't mind me asking?
digthefuzz: (watch | groove thing)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-10-18 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
heckbusters!

[ Oh. Um. Actually... ]

I'm sure some of my friends watch it.
I'm not personally familiar.
I don't really consume much in the way of television and film.
Unless there's descriptive commentary or a friend on hand willing to make an attempt.
digthefuzz: (watch | blank)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-10-21 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
oh
yeah that makes sense


[Kurt's probably noticed his blindness while noticing him around church and had questions about it answered by some of the adults without directly talking to him.]

[personal profile] blessmefather 2017-10-22 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
If you're willing to I'll take you up on that offer.
You would be a true expert on the show after all.
digthefuzz: (watch | probably teasing)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-10-23 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
i'm totally willing, man!
it'll be like a free dvd commentary track

[personal profile] blessmefather 2017-10-26 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
Well in that case why don't you drop by during one of the upcoming weekends? Just not Sunday morning. I'll be at church then.
digthefuzz: (watch | who me)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-10-27 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
of course!
i wouldn't interrupt a good old-fashioned service
and this sounds like a good way to spend a saturday afternoon!
blessmefather: (sometimes)

[personal profile] blessmefather 2017-10-30 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
Alright. I'll send word when I have a free Saturday then.

[ ooc: Want to hand wave that they actually did sit down for an episode or two during October? ]

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-10-31 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
