[Rinzler couldn't help a growl at the strange card that had shown up in his room.  That combined with some of the things he'd seen in his research regarding user holidays had him uneasy at least.  Then again, the digging usually turns up some kinds of strangeness]

Why did I get a note in my room about a user holiday?

Do not like this at all.  What is point of Halloween?

[persequor]

To get candy. [ If she sounds fairly unimpressed it's because she is. ]

[foughtfortheusers]

Candy.

The human food?

[persequor]

It's not really food. It's just sugar.

[foughtfortheusers]

Sugar is not food?

Why is it eaten?

[persequor]

It makes food sweet.

[foughtfortheusers]

Taste altering substance?

[persequor]

Uh, yes?

[foughtfortheusers]

Noted.

[yay_heiress]

A user holiday? What do you mean by that?

[foughtfortheusers]

User. Human.

Human holiday.

[yay_heiress]

So you're not human?

Ooh! Are you a baby dragon, too?

[foughtfortheusers]

Am a program.

[yay_heiress]

I hope you're not one of those 12-step programs. I've heard those are impossible to keep up with!

[foughtfortheusers]

Program from the Grid.

[yay_heiress]

What's the grid?

[foughtfortheusers]

Computer system.

[yay_heiress]

*gasp*

You're from a computer? How did you get out?

[foughtfortheusers]

Castle brought out.

[yay_heiress]

It can do that? Whoa!
I wonder what else this old castle can do!

[iamdamnloyal]

It's a chance to be something you wouldn't normally have a chance to be. Also, there's candy involved, but it's supposed to be a fun holiday.

[foughtfortheusers]

[Have a confused rumbles. He doesn't get the point.] Humans are strange...

[iamdamnloyal]

No we aren't. We're just not what you're used to.

[foughtfortheusers]

Been here for long time.

Should be used to it.

[20thcentury]

The point is appropriating an old pagan holiday and stamping Christianity into it so the pagans would be happier to get baptized and give the Church money.

[foughtfortheusers]

...

Human religion?

[20thcentury]

Err, right, yeah. "Human religion."

[vengefully]

From what I heard it's pretty pointless.

[foughtfortheusers]

Yes. It does.

[vengefully]

Most holidays are like that.

[foughtfortheusers]

I see.
