[ 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!!! ]

[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.

[parodeity]

ive never had sardines
what do they taste like
i mean
i assume like fish
but what kind of fishy flavor

[promissum]

What?!
They taste like fish, of course.
They're dense, rich and oily.
I suppose if you cooked it it would taste more palatable for you.
You are human, aren't you?

[parodeity]

yeah more or less
ive just never had a variety diet till i got here

[promissum]

I can give you a tin as long as you eat it.

[parodeity]

sure i wouldnt be opposed to eating it
if i see you in person ill ask trick or treat
be prepared
or i guess
i can ask now??? and we can meet up

[promissum]

You can ask now. I live in Bluo.
Do you know Minato?

[parodeity]

yep
ill be there in like three minutes i go there all the time
glad he finally got some new roomies tbh

[promissum]

He's a good lad.

[How old are you, Val.]

[parodeity]

[ no response though dave DEFINITELY WONDERS THAT...but soon enough there's a knock at minato's front door! WHO COULD IT BE. ]

[promissum]

[ Val pulls the door open to reveal... Dave. He did get here quickly. ]

Do you have to say the thing first?

[parodeity]

Yep. So - trick or treat?

[ sardines...........are they truly a treat? ]

[promissum]

[ He hands Dave a tin of sardines. ]

This is the treat, just as we discussed.

[ They're a treat to this particular vampire, at least. ]

[parodeity]

Thanks, dude. I take it this is your favorite food?

[ also: wHY ]

[promissum]

It is! Ever since I swore off human blood sardines contain all the nutrients I need.

[that's why]

[parodeity]

So why'd you swear off human blood, anyway? Is there a story there?

[promissum]

I promised a nun I wouldn't drink any other human's blood until I brought her to the depths of fear.

[He seems to clear his throat.] She died.

[parodeity]

...You're a pretty honorable guy, huh.

[ keeping that promise. ]

[promissum]

I want to always remain a proud and noble demon. That means keeping all my promises.

[parodeity]

You're an inspiration, man.

[ ABSOLUTELY. ]

Anyway, thanks for the sardines. Any tips on how to eat 'em? Like, what they go with, how to cook. Etc.

[promissum]

I eat them raw. As a vampire I need the blood.

You might want to fry them.

[parodeity]

Frying them it is. Thanks for the treat, dude - I'll talk to you later? I should get back and fry these up.

[promissum]

Enjoy them.
