231 is the exact number of cubic inches in a U.S. liquid gallon.

[Crowley sounds as amused as he often does whenever the castle sends fun little invitations to the residents in general]

Well, well. How about this. A masked ball. Those always go down so well. I wonder what horrors await for us in this one? I might be willing to go just for the sheer entertainment value when things inevitably go down the crapper.

So long as there's alcohol there, anyway. Best bring a hipflask with me just in case something needs to be spiked. [There's some page flicking going on]

'Celebrate the shifting of the seasons' yadda yadda. Sounds like a tree hugging thing, to me, but whatever. It can't be as bad as the fucking mice thing.

I wouldn't call it a job. per say. More a...public service.

[ino]

I'm sure the "King of Autumn" will be grateful for your service.

[onlyanapple]

As long as it's not the King of Winter, I think I can cope.

[ino]

Yeah, I'm not really looking forward to meeting him, either.

[onlyanapple]

I wasn't even aware Paradisa was a kingdom until now.

[ino]

Me either. I was kind of under the impression we were in charge of ourselves.

[onlyanapple]

That said, didn't the spiders have some sort of...ruling system? I don't know, the number of castles dotted around suggests this was at least once something of a selection of kingdoms.

[ino]

I guess that's true ... think maybe they could have come from somewhere out there to visit, then?

[onlyanapple]

Perhaps. Or maybe it's a hostile takeover. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

[ino]

Great ...

[onlyanapple]

Oh come on, you know it'll be entertaining.

[ino]

I'd rather not with the hostile stuff.

[onlyanapple]

I can't see it getting that hostile. If it does, I owe you a cake.

[ino]

... A cake? Really?

[onlyanapple]

Sure. A little one.

[ino]

... See, now I kind of want this to happen.

[onlyanapple]

See? An now you're looking forward to terror because there's cake involved.

[ino]

Well, only because it's a cake from you.

[onlyanapple]

You are aware I won't actually bake the cake, right?

[ino]

Whaaat? Come on.

[onlyanapple]

I don't cook or bake for myself, much less anyone else.

[ino]

You couldn't try? For me?

[onlyanapple]

That depends. How much do you want to deal with food poisoning?

[ino]

You don't think you could do it properly?

[onlyanapple]

I know I couldn't do it properly. Super fun human times in the various cities this place has sent us to taught me that much.
