OPEN MINGLE

WHO: EVERYONE...
WHERE: the garden area generally!
WHEN: all month but particularly evenings
WHAT: pumpkin carving & trick or treat. also the skeletons are like There i guess
WARNINGS: probably badly carved pumpkins

Welcome to the garden! It looks pretty much as usual, except with more...spooky designs? There are a bunch of pumpkins gathered onto a table Dave dragged in, and he's hung up some truly shitty artwork of ghosts and various Halloween monsters. There's also a vague attempt at some paper chain decorations, which may be improved upon by people more capable of doing that.

He's also supplied carving tools (finally, a fucking use for his Pile Of Knives, thank you harpy quest) and some paint so people can trace out what they want to carve or like...just Go For It. Or paint the pumpkins. The world is your oyster.

It seems like the entire garden area (which takes up maybe two plots of land at this point) has been surrounded with a crude and somewhat shoddy fence, but it seems to be capable of keeping the skeletons out of the garden. It does look like the shambling skeleton horde sort of walked all over the strawberry patch before Dave put up skeleton defenses, though. Bummer.

The trick or treat trail has an actual trail with places for treat givers to hand out treats, with little signs posted in the various areas. There's the Strawberry Kingdom (with sadly trampled strawberries), the Onion Grove, and so on and so forth. People can even pick up really shitty maps for the trick or treat trail, even though you can literally see the entire thing just by glancing. The map sells the experience.

You can:
1) Carve pumpkins! There even seems to be some sort of pumpkin carving contest going on? The prize is a pet rock, though, so like. Maybe don't get too excited.
2) Paint pumpkins, if you're a loser who doesn't want to carve them.
3) Hand out treats!
4) Accept treats!
5) Pull tricks if you are so inclined?
6) Shore up the garden defenses if a shambling skeleton manages to finally knock over some fence. Please protect the plants, we eat those.
7) Just like, gaze at the shambling skeleton army outside the fences. It's a very nice view, maybe.
8) Do whatever you want, basically.

To me, it seems a little suspicious. All out or other foes have been difficult... why go easy on us now?
queenofminiskirts: (unsure || curious)

...now that you mention it. That does seem suspicious.

Especially compared to all the other horrific monsters we've had to fight... this is child's play.
queenofminiskirts: (surprise || wait. What?)

[She knocks down another skeleton.]

Maybe part way through the month they'll transform?

[She watches the skeletons on the ground sort of twitch and couldn't imagine how these things could become stronger at all.]
troubadamsel: (Permit Me Darling.)

Maybe... oh, I do hope we're not inviting trouble by saying so.

[doesn't that always happen in stories, bring it by speaking it?]
queenofminiskirts: (other || ...funny story.)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-08 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oops.]

Don't worry! I'm sure we can deal with whatever this place throws at us!

[Maybe.]

[A sigh, but she nods.]

Of that, I'm certain. We always come through, no matter what.
queenofminiskirts: (cheerful || ???)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-10 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
We're pretty strong like that!

[But this quest is pretty boring like this. Hm...]

How about we make this more interesting?
troubadamsel: (Default)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-10-10 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? How do you mean?
queenofminiskirts: (teasing || wink)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-12 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
We can make it a contest! The person who beats the most skeletons wins! Of course, there will be some kind of prize~.
troubadamsel: (We'll Do It Together)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-10-12 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well now, you've got me hooked! Consider the gauntlet thrown!
queenofminiskirts: (teasing || oh?)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-14 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Do we want to set any rules? Or should it be anything goes?
troubadamsel: (Default)

[personal profile] troubadamsel 2018-10-14 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
How about this... we only use what's on our person?
