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.

of course it is. why did i not think of that?
have you used it to fight any monsters yet?
it might do other stuff if it is a hybrid weapon.
i don't think i have ever heard a sword being merged with a key

lol yeah like i said its kind of a weird weapon

there was some monsters a few months ago we had to fight
i got it in august and its way better than the pipe i was using before

i think it can probably open locks and stuff

destiny_key: (lol whut)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-10-11 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)

...i am pretty sure that is not the kind of unlocking you need an actual key for.
maybe try your house first?
destiny_key: (Ugg.)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-10-11 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
i dont want to break my house either
my mom would kill me

maybe i could try like
the garage door or something
windeity: (ATTENTIVE ♫ hm?)

[personal profile] windeity 2017-10-12 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
that would work. those doors break all the time.
or find an abandoned building that's locked and nobody will notice if it's broken anyway.
