Halloween 2013

Halloween is a reoccurring holiday.

October 18

• The Happy Art Student starts giving out Emerald Gift samples once a day.
• Andrea the grad student, insulting punk, slimy man (and student selling books probably?) stop talking about Halloween 2012

October 20th

The Dorms message changes slightly.

The Happy Art Student, the art student in the museum, Andrea, the punks, Arthur J and Jess start talking about this year's Halloween

October 21st

Everyone(?) got the following message from Kinak:

Trick or Treat - New

I'm not really sure if I've been Tricking people the last five years calling Metroplexity an Early Beta, but I'm going to give everyone a Treat now that I'm stopping. I've decided to call it Developing now, which seems closer to the truth.

And, since it feels weird to hit a milestone without giving everybody sweets, here's some candy! I hope you're all looking forward to Metroplexity's fifth All Hallow's Eve.

Cheers!
Kinak

You found: 5 candy grab bags
