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.

Episode 7 I found disappointing on the grounds of lack of creativity. Rogue Rascal One was good. However, episode 7 is better than episodes 1-3.

Maybe I'll find time for them.

[ Which means Derek or someone else will have to sit him down and start the movie immediately if they want him to listen in. It's miraculous Mr. Workaholic takes time away from his papers to socialize with Tatsuo and him at all. Retrospec had him talking and texting far more and with more people than he ever had in his life so at least one good thing came from it. ]

You do that. But, if you don't have them watched by May, then I'm gonna sit you down and make you listen to them.

[In Derek's mind, May 4th is the perfect time to do a marathon of these movies.]

Alright. We'll see where things stand come May.
