The feature doesn't seem to be doing much other than genuinely intending to be "fun", from my investigations. So, turning it off may be my choice as well.

[saburai]

It certainly doesn't seem like you would be missing out on much, unless you wanted to collect electronic treats or modify your profile.

[evidentiary]

And both of those are features I am perfectly capable of living without. Still, it was worth investigating at least to be certain.

[saburai]

Very true. Their games so far have seemed more-or-less harmless and pointless, but that doesn't mean they'll always remain that way.

[evidentiary]

I'll let you know if my investigations ever turn up anything not innocuous, of course, but for now I think I'll turn off the Halloween function. I prefer my userpic to not be a fox.

[saburai]

I don't blame you for that. I wasn't particularly fond of the "costume" it assigned me, either.

[evidentiary]

Which costume was that?

[saburai]

I was dressed up like a princess of some sort. It was a very strange image.

[evidentiary]

I can see why you'd prefer to turn it off, at least.

It makes me wonder what the others all got...

[saburai]

I wonder if their intention was to make people look as silly as possible, or whether they were simply auto-generated. It would take a lot of effort to individually design profiles, after all.

[evidentiary]

From the tone of the post, I think silly might be a possibility...? Though I doubt it was malicious.

[saburai]

It doesn't appear to be so, no. If they wanted to cause us harm, they could certainly do a lot worse than photo-editing.

[evidentiary]

At any rate, I don't think it warrants further attention.

Do you have Halloween plans, Kaguya?

[saburai]

No, not particularly. It's never been something I've celebrated, despite its popularity. I'll probably simply be doing my schoolwork as usual.

How about yourself?

[evidentiary]

There's some sort of party being planned by some on the network. I may attend out of curiosity...? I feel like I need more sources.

[saburai]

Do you think a party would truly provide much information? I imagine most people would be focused on enjoying themselves.

[evidentiary]

I think there's a chance "something" could happen at it, since large concentrations of people on the network seem to bring about chaos.

[saburai]

I suppose that's true. Though hopefully it will not be *too* chaotic this time around.

[evidentiary]

At the very least we can be on our guard from the start, I think...

I feel as though we've yet to see what this month has to offer.

[saburai]

There's still that "anomaly" to worry about, whatever it winds up being. So I'd be inclined to agree.

[evidentiary]

Perhaps we ought to make it a habit to walk places together for at least a little while?

[saburai]

That may be wise. They do say there is safety in numbers.

[evidentiary]

In that case, I'll be counting on you for the next little while.
For now, I think I'll go turn off the Halloween mode...

[saburai]

Understood. Just let me know when you need the company.

[evidentiary]

You, too, Kaguya.
