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.

if i had a choice if it was something i chose to do myself it would be
but it was forced
and art shouldn't be forced like that

Yeah, that's true. So Blue's a bigger deal than Green when it comes to art?

[personal profile] admiringly 2017-10-28 02:01 am (UTC)(link)

red yellow blue

Well, probably not anymore.

admiringly: (60)

[personal profile] admiringly 2017-10-28 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
it's weird to have purple without blue but i'm not asking for purple to get taken away
idk at this point i'm happy to get what we can back even if i'd like for ALL the colors in EVERYTHING to be back instead little things here and there

Yeah I was overjoyed when we got blueberries back to normal, but the whole thing's a little

okay a lot absurd.

It comes up more than horses at least.

i think it's because chocobos aren't ugly to look at
and having so much grey is depressing
matchbreaker: (She-Hulk!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-10-30 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah thats true

and i can bring horse riding skills to chocobos a little too
admiringly: (12)

[personal profile] admiringly 2017-10-31 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
exactly!
but it would be nice to be able to choose between both chocobos and horses
matchbreaker: (Wow cool...)

It's a little weird to choose types of fruit now, I confess.
