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.

Listen there's a big difference between that it's between me & you and you & HIM (I also didn't just almost type me & him, pls keep your bf jfc we're getting kinky enough in here)

I wasnt even being dirty tho
that was aaaaaall you cutie

That doesn't count, I'm allowed to.

y!!!!

lol not yes. why?

Because I'm a teen and a Bad Kid while you're the supposed responsible adult with a stable relationship, gay or not.

huh? who spread the rumor that Im responsible?

Yeah, I'm starting to wonder about that too...

lol Im drunk like 24/7
Im so not responsible!

and you're proud of that?

well yeah
Im trying to be drunk so it means Im doing good!

...... why??

[There is something crucial he's missing here, right??]

why what?

Why are you trying to be drunk the whole time? Aren't you worried about your health?? No, forget worrying over your liver, just tell me that you don't own a car. Or a weapon!!

totally own a weapon. a great big sword.

THAT'S NOT A WEAPON THAT'S ANATOMY AND TMI AGAIN YOU JERK!!!

[He sends him a pic of an obnoxiously long oodachi.]

lol no honey. a sword.

...are you trying to be that guy with the laundry-drying pole sword, or what?

how long was that sword?

The hell should I know? As long as a drying pole!

well then whats his name? I can look him up and see how long his sword was

If I knew I'd have used it already. Just google samurai + long-ass sword. It's called drying pole something for real.

brb

[He's off to do some research. It takes him a bit before he finds this person who had a sword that was a laundry pole but when he does he finally gets some sword information. And then.......]

mines way longer

why did I know you were going to say something like that?
