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.

A golem thing?
I think I've heard of them, but I haven't seen them.

[redarm]

[Have a picture!]

[fabrefactions]

[oh no it's cute]

That's adorable! Those are pets?

[redarm]

haha, i think of him as one!

[and as a best friend, and life partner, and basically just The Best]

i dunno about the other golems
i got tim from retrospec.
he acts kinda different from the ones in the stores.
i mean fuck,
they dont even have mouths.

[fabrefactions]

It's different to the commercially available models?

[He's examining that picture again.]

Maybe he is different, if you received him from retrospec directly?
As you said he has physical differences. Like a mouth.

[why is there a mouth.]

[redarm]

[Because the guy who made Tim was a half-sane 17 year old guy that's why]

yeah, he probably is.

doesnt surprise me.
of course tim would be one of a kind!

[Because he's the best!!!]

[fabrefactions]

[sounds fair.]

Oh, his name is Tim.

[Noah, that's cute. But who calls their pet Tim?]

Can he do the same things the regular golems? Filming and communications things?

[redarm]

yeah. its short for timcanpy.

[Again, blame the half-deranged 17 year old.]

he cant communicate, no.
but whatever, communications overrated, those other golems are fucking show-offs
he can film though!
he even has footage of the visions i get.

[fabrefactions]

[of course it is.]

And you have your phone for communications as is.

... He's able to film things that don't happen right in front of you? How does he do that?

[Being able to film and replay memories and visions... would be incredibly useful.]

[redarm]

i dunno.
i think its because he was there for them?
so its like he gets it the same time i do.

[fabrefactions]

So he sees and experiences things as you do. Like a true companion, rather than something posing as one.

[redarm]

yeah.
guess some friendships can last over several lifetimes.

[Noah it's a fucking quidditch snitch]

[fabrefactions]

What a nice thought.
I wonder if there are other worlds out there were my friendships have persisted...?

[but he's fond of it, so it's probably okay.]

[redarm]

possibly.
its happened before to people.

[fabrefactions]

[This is the best news.]

The idea that Haru and I could be friends across multiple timelines is quite comforting. I'm glad to know of the possibility.

[redarm]

close friend?

[fabrefactions]

My closest friend.

[redarm]

oh.
cute.

[fabrefactions]

She is a very charming young woman, yes.

[redarm]

only talked to her once, so ill take your word for it.

[fabrefactions]

[do yourself a favour and speak to her more, noah.]

Thank you. She is a wonderful friend.
