[ USER: #E00707 in this lovely color ]

looks like the update to our monthly fairy tale is something something something split path
who wants to take bets on what monsieur blue finds at the other end
ghosts goblins ghouls
maybe a zombie or two
or like
the bird???

but yeah happy halloween i guess
im just fucking assuming its probably near halloween
since the quests are very halloween themed and it seems to be fall
for those who dont know what halloween is bc youre from universes without halloween in a tragic twist of fate
it is an overcommercialized version of a holiday that once was absolutely fucking nothing like what it bcame
which is like a night where you go around the neighborhood and shake people down for candy
while dressed in some inane costume of like a cat or a ghost or a ghostbuster
in the dead of night when your neighbors probably just want to go the fuck to sleep or relax on their sofas watching home improvement shows
but hey anything for candy right

so bottom line its octoberish maybe
for anyone who uses that system of dates
btw we should come up with a month and day system
does anyone care if we do seven day weeks four week months and twelve month years or do we gotta hash that out
i was supposed to ask a while ago
but i forgot

also
the garden is now transformed into a pumpkin patch with optional trick or treat trail
i have put up lazy barriers to keep out the apparently invading skeleton army
which
doesnt seem that threatening honestly
we should keep them around for the ambiance
but anyway dress up as some sort of creature or character or object or what have you
and come hand out treats
or if you are okuni i suppose play tricks on ppl
hi okuni
anyway yeah ill keep this running for like the whole month stop by whenever
im going to make masterpiece pumpkins and we should absolutely have a pumpkin carving contest
which i will obviously demolish you all in

[ he very much Will Not, but dave will try anyway. the game-mingle for pumpkin carving + trick or treating can be found over here!!! ]

It being Octoberish corroborates with my best guess, as well. It's good to hear there's support for that assumption.

What sort of treats are customary for this holiday, if you please?

[parodeity]

things baked into the shape of pumpkins
chocolate
chocolate shaped like pumpkins
pumpkin flavored thing
candy corn which looks like troll horns and is basically pure sugar and food coloring
basically every kind of candy known to man
also things baked into like cat shapes and witches hats and various monsters shapes

[unfatalist]

Hmm. What about candied apples? We had those a few months back, as I recall, and they went over fairly well.

I could try to keep them at bay for a couple of hours.

[parodeity]

mysterious answer
do you have skeleton based powers

[umbraportation]

Sure, let's go with that.
I'm not 100% sure it'll work but I can give it a try.

Why are you shaking down people for candy?
If I'm a vampire should I dress up as something else?

[parodeity]

yes
you have to dress up as an alternate creature of the night
and also im shaking people down for candy because that is what youre supposed to do at this time of year
and also
i just want candy

[promissum]

[Where is he going to find a wolf tail.]

Very well.
I don't have any candy on me, but I do have sardines.
Does anyone have candy here?
They're healthier for you anyway. You should have some.

please don't suggest keeping around the skeleton army, i don't trust anyone to not take you up on that

[parodeity]

honestly thats fair that is an entirely chroma thing to do

[robitussin]

what would we even do with them if they just stayed

#FFDF00

I had the same thought about the dates. Looks like I was completely off before.

[Oh well, he's still giving his friends their birthday presents anyway.]

Please don't joke about the skeleton army. Don't you think we have enough ambiance with the fairy tale village and the medieval-looking clothes?

[parodeity]

but its not a creepy dead things ambiance
clearly inferior???

It's a shame we don't have costumes, honestly.

Or candy.

Or most commercialized Halloween things.

[parodeity]

we can make costumes
you could be a shitty sheet ghost minato
ive seen the future and it involves you sacrificing a sheet to the spirit of halloween

Your explanations are always so interesting.

[parodeity]

that is the nicest way anyone has ever called me weird
thank you dude

#2A4073

[osteotome]

Thank you for the information. Whoever gives the quests are aware of holiday traditions?

[parodeity]

yeah probably
which like
they did manage to kidnap ppl from different universes
and they seem to know a bunch of bullshit about us
so im not that surprised

ok so let's break this down
1: dude you're forgetting the fairytale rules!! the bird's gonna be thing number 3 that he finds in the creepy woods
2: idk why the town's so set on pushing the halloween spirit but ig it's cool of it to finally give us something to set a calendar by
3: most importantly i can't believe the skeleton war's come to Chroma

[parodeity]

1 ok what 2 other things do you think hes gonna find then
2 yeah i figure we hit october first??? was probably when the quests went live??? unless its secretly october 15th
who even knows
3 the skeleton war was always inside us all along
