048. In My Time Of Dying

[samson]

[For whatever reason, Molotov had delegated the party invitations to Brock. Which he didn't really mind; he just kind of shoved it on some castle ghosts, anyway. Easy peasy.]

[Delivered this morning to residents who are on good terms with Brock and/or Molotov.]



[With that out of the way, he's been at his cabin for most of the day, working on the fireplace and chimney. He's sort of given up on the pipe dream of a mason being among the castle residents, but whatever. Maybe he could get some kind of help if he was more broad about it?

He dictates into the journal.]

I have a couple projects if anybody's good with their hands or decent at heavy lifting. I'm building a fireplace and a greenhouse if anybody wants to help out with this stuff.

I can give you fake, magic money if you want. But I have beer, too.

[ooc. A note for invitations: if Molotov and/or Brock are at least vaguely aware of your character's existence and don't actively dislike them, they'll have gotten an invitation.]

For the most part, yes. We also have our own celebrations and festivals for the dead.

[samson]

The only thing I know about like that is in Mexico.

[assassino]

What do they do?

[samson]

Uh, it's called Dia de los Muertos ... it's kind of like a remembrance day for people who died. They have parties and stuff like that. Decorate everything with skulls ...

[assassino]

That is not terribly different from us, though we do not use skulls so much.

[samson]

Yeah, it's a pretty specific motif.

[assassino]

It seems rather morbid to me.

[samson]

Anything that's called "Something of the Dead" is going to be morbid, yeah.

[assassino]

For Tutti i Morti we use flowers and candles, not skulls, and it is the "Day of the Dead."

[samson]

You sure the candles don't have skulls on them?

[assassino]

Positive.

[samson]

Well, there goes that theory, I guess.
