not literal ones! and not in my closet!

[badlucklady]

Oho, has the Empress become too big for her bloomers? What could be so special about your closet? Other than the assortment of "adult" toys?

[suntones]

oh, i'm sorry, mr. breaking and entering and decorating and snooping! am i suddenly not allowed to dictate what is kept in my closet and what stands between my clothing and me? is that me getting too big for my britches?

[badlucklady]

Yes, yes you've grasped it perfectly.

Have you never heard of "the rule of funny"? Anything goes as long as it tickles the funny bone! Since you've lost yours, perhaps your closet's guest could lend you one?

[suntones]

you mean how things have to be funny to be funny?

i'm giving you one chance to retrieve this thing before i sentence it to quartering.

[badlucklady]

Won't you give him a chance instead? Isn't the top hat dapper? I can't keep you company on Halloween night. This handsome and upright gentleman can take my place, wouldn't you say that's fair?

[suntones]

warren, i don't need a stand-in. i don't even celebrate halloween.

[badlucklady]

You don't?? celebrate? HALLOWEEN?????

[suntones]

no, i don't. why would i?

[badlucklady]

Its indisputable status as the best holiday ever created by man? The chance to shamelessly dress up as a slutty ketchup bottle? Endless mountains of candy, candy, and more candy? The opportunity to yell EEK and clutch at my hand in fear during a serial killer filmfest? NEED I GO ON??

[suntones]

i'm glad you find it entertaining, but none of that sounds remotely appealing to me. i've never felt the desire to dress up as a ketchup bottle, i don't have that strong of a sweet tooth, and while i might like horror novels, i've learned i'm not built for horror movies.

[badlucklady]

YOUKOOOOOOOOO

My hopes and dreams have crumbled to dust under the vacant stare of my tear-soaked eyes. Never before has a single text torn me apart!

[suntones]

not sure why would you think i'd celebrate it to begin with? it's a western tradition...

[badlucklady]

In my very very long undead life there is one thing I have learned most surely:

Enjoy the party. Wherever its traditions began, whoever sends the invitation.

[suntones]

while that's possibly sound advice, i'm not sure the group i usually run with is geared for this kind of party.

[badlucklady]

How terrible for you. The joy of drinking "Blood" from a glass adorned with plastic spiders cannot be overstated.

[suntones]

not sure i'd enjoy seeing a spider, real or otherwise, on the rim of my cup.

what do you mean by 'blood'?

[badlucklady]

A weakness to note for the traditional pranks of Devil's Night...

Wine, or a red fruit drink. Perhaps with ice in the shape of a skull.

[suntones]

wine 'blood'. okay. i could get behind that, i guess, but i'm afraid to ask... what's 'devil's night'?

[badlucklady]

Chaos! A celebration of naughty behaviour! The perfect excuse to throw rotten eggs at the residence of deplorable old farts!

[suntones]

[How is he managing to make this sound like even less fun?]

so... petty vandalism?

[badlucklady]

Youko, you must see beyond your unwillingness to take pleasure from indulging in primal urges. Smashing pumpkins is very satisfying!

[suntones]

it's also a waste of food and a farmer's efforts...

[badlucklady]

Not always. If you must nitpick, giant pumpkins grown solely to be compared for size and man's ego cannot be eaten.

But that is besides the point. Halloween is a time set aside to enjoy fear. Prank and be pranked! Chase and be chased!

[suntones]

do you know it's alright to not sell me on this?

[Because he really isn't. 'Chase and be chased' is something she has more than had her fill of.]
