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.

[Long as he's willing to explain backstory...]

Was your friend a human?

[ only because she's cute ]

Nah, he's a vampire. All the human friends I had spent their time chasing girls or learning how to properly use a sword. Or praying.

[All right, that makes her chuckle a little.]

That does sound like a good chunk of the Shepherds...

[ He gives her a quizzical look, tilting his head to one side. ]

Shepherds?

That's the royal army of my homeland, Ylisse.

[ Crowley goes ahead and grabs another pumpkin to empty for himself. ]

Ah? And you were part of that? [ He looks skeptical. ]

Indeed I am, and have been for several years. I am a healer, and I can also wield offensive elemental magic.

[so suck it.]

Oh, I think that I read something about that on the forums... I just didn't bother with stepping into the conversation.

[ As per usual.

But he takes the top of his pumpkin off, pointing a finger at the pulp hanging down. ]
Take this off first and throw it into a bowl, we can save the seeds and roast them for later.
troubadamsel: (Permit Me Darling.)

Oh, right, of course.

[She suddenly remembers what they were doing in the first place. She takes a breath, and then reaches in to grab the goop, yanking it out with one hard YOINK-]

[ Crowley watches her with a careful eye; curious and intrigued. ]

Great job! [ He even offers her a (lonesome) round of applause. He's genuinely proud of her!! Listen... ] I really wasn't expecting you to actually go through with it.

Disgusting as it may be, I'm hardly in any position to let my discomfort get in the way.

[Besides, she's seen worse, being a healer and all.]

Well you're going to have to keep going until it's all gone. That's the only way any of the kids can properly carve it.

Then I'd better not delay it any further.

[After a roll of her shoulders, she resumes the yanking!]
