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.

[He will not.]

You're right. I never had a chance.
queenofminiskirts: (happy || a job well done)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-17 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[She slaps him on the back.]

It's fine! If you ask around I'm sure someone would be able to help you make some treats to give out!
asano_san: (determined)

[personal profile] asano_san 2018-10-18 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not leaving the house without treats again!
queenofminiskirts: (teasing || how about that)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-19 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a a great plan. You probably should have done that when you saw that quest.
asano_san: (older!Keigo - woe)

[personal profile] asano_san 2018-10-19 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't think the tricks would be real!
queenofminiskirts: (teasing || oh?)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-19 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Come on, we have plenty of trouble makers here, you know.

[Her being one of them.]
asano_san: (>3<)

[personal profile] asano_san 2018-10-19 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
I know, and they all like to flip me upside down!

[He's still not over last month's snare trap.]
queenofminiskirts: (teasing || oh?)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-19 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
So I wasn't your first?
asano_san: (older!Keigo - woe)

[personal profile] asano_san 2018-10-19 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
You're the first person to do it with trick-or-treating. I would have learned from that!

[And had a pocket full of coffee beans.]
queenofminiskirts: (happy || a job well done)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-20 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[That doesn't sound like a treat still...]

I'm glad I taught you something. [She is so pleased with herself.] Have you done any of the quests? Like carving a pumpkin or something?
asano_san: (older!Keigo - huh?)

[personal profile] asano_san 2018-10-21 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going to meet with Tonbokiri and teach him all about pumpkin carving.

[He's ready for the easy quest!]

I don't have anything important enough to give up for that one, and the skeletons had better stay far away from me.
queenofminiskirts: (cheerful || quietly happy)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-21 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
The skeletons are pretty weak. I'm sure even you could beat one.
asano_san: (seriously?)

[personal profile] asano_san 2018-10-21 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you just saying that and trying to get me killed?

[She is friends with Shiho...]
queenofminiskirts: (other || =3=)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-21 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't do anything to get you killed.

[Maybe a bit scarred mentally.]
asano_san: (older!Keigo - unsure)

[personal profile] asano_san 2018-10-21 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
OK, but I'm still not going to rush out to find a skeleton.
queenofminiskirts: (cheerful || teasing)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-22 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you ever change your mind and want to try being Keigo, Destroyer of Skeletons, come find me and I'll go with you.
asano_san: (thumbs up)

[personal profile] asano_san 2018-10-22 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'll remember. You did take care of me when we were unicorn hunting!

[He doesn't think it's very likely he'll take her up on it, but he does trust she'd have his back.

Flipping him upside down for fun or not.]
queenofminiskirts: (teasing || that's minamoto for you)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-23 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
We made a pretty good team that time, didn't we?
asano_san: (big smile)

[personal profile] asano_san 2018-10-23 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
We did! And it was my kind of quest. No monsters and no danger!

[He's conveniently forgetting his "what if the unicorn gores me" worries.]
queenofminiskirts: (teasing || how about that)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-28 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
No danger for us, you mean. I'm not sure it'd be the same if we didn't meet the criteria.
asano_san: (older!Keigo - woe)

[personal profile] asano_san 2018-10-28 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be meeting the unicorn criteria forever, I think.
queenofminiskirts: (happy || a job well done)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-10-29 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[She claps him on the back.]

Come on, believe in yourself a little! I'm sure someday you'll find someone too!
asano_san: (older!Keigo - unsure)

[personal profile] asano_san 2018-10-29 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Too?

[Is that a general "too", like he'll find someone, too, after the rest of the human race has found love, or a "like me" kind of "too"?]
