[hey, check it out! if you were hanging out in the lobby today, there'll be a little blonde girl sitting on the couch, swinging her legs back and forth impatiently. she's already wearing her costume, even though it's early afternoon: a hooded cloak covering up a simple vest and pants, and a strange mask is resting on the top of her head, as though she hasn't put it on properly yet. she's opening the journal to make a PSA to all the other kids who, undoubtedly, need to know this information]

Hey, the people in town are being real stingy, today! Just because it isn't nighttime yet doesn't mean you should deprive kids of candy!

[an over-dramatic sigh ...]

It's not like there's some kind of law about when Halloween can start!

[ooc: Tags may be kind of slow as I have a bunch of stuff to get done before Youmacon this weekend, and then I'll be gone for that so yep :')]

Placeholderrr and dictated forever

[whichwayyoulean]

Yeah, well they're probably hiding because-

[No wait. Hold up one cotton-pickin-minute here. That voice. It's squeakier and younger but it's definitely...

Nah, it can't be. Maybe it's her little sister or something? Does she have a little sister? Dammnit this is why he has to actually start listening to people when they talk to him about themselves. Okay. He can deal with this both subtly and with grace]

Ino? ...Or possibly Ino's little sister who I was totally paying attention about if you actually exist.

[No. Turns out he can't]

[... staring at the page 8|]

[ino]

Probably hiding because what!

And what the heck, Once-ler! I don't have any siblings! Didn't I tell you that?

[whichwayyoulean]

[...Well, that answers that question]

I'm sure you did, and I'm sure I was completely and utterly listening to every single word you said with the utmost diligence.

[Ignoring the hiding question in favour for the more obvious issue]

So. You're suddenly a small child.

[ino]

You better have been!

And what do you mean, suddenly?

[whichwayyoulean]

I did, because I'm a great listener.

Beeeecause usually you're not. You're supposed to be twentyI'm going to go withtwo.

[chocoponying]

[Hello, pony passing by--stops to stare at the girl. So this is what people meant by dressing up, hmm?]

Isn't it supposed to be Halloween all day long?

[ino]

That's what I thought, too! But nooo, apparently I have to come back after it gets dark out!

[chocoponying]

That's gotta suck. What will you do in the while?

[ino]

I dunno ... [a bit of a pouty face] I came back here because I couldn't really think of anything.

Dictated

[not_mafia]

Asking for candy already? The day's barely started...

[ino]

[RUDE, TSUNA]

Hey!

[not_mafia]

[wow just telling it like it is okay!!]

You probably shouldn't go anyway! Who knows what the castle's going to do?

[ino]

[grumble grumble]

You don't have to be such a party pooper.

Dictated forever!

[ninjainviolet]

[Is that Ino? It sounds like Ino, but the voice sounds a bit young...]

Ino? What's going on? What's this about Halloween and candy?

[ino]

Like I said, the people in town are being super stingy! They said to come back at night and everything.

[ninjainviolet]

No, I mean, what's Halloween? I've seen some things, but no one's really explained it to me.

[ino]

Oh! Jeez, what the heck! You're like the tenth person not to know what it is!

Halloween is when you dress up in a costume and go door-to-door collecting candy! Then whoever has the most candy at the end of the night is the winner!

Oh yeah and I guess there's scary decorations and stuff, but they don't scare me. [puffs out chest, even though Sheena can't see her]

[psych0p0mps]

[HI INO HAVE ANOTHER PERSON WITH NO IDEA WHO THIS IS :D]

i didnt know halloween was a nighttime holiday

[ino]

It's not! They're just being jerks.

[psych0p0mps]

hehe i agree
after all on my planet the monsters would come out during the day!
so youre perfectly justified in making it an all day thing

[ino]

Wow, really? Monsters? What kind of monsters?

[mom_to_us_all]

[Now one said a wolf couldn't go ask for candies too! So Ammy is more than ready to do that herself as well. She's on her way to the castle's entrance when the kid calls her attention, she approaches to her because she's never seen her around.

Ino? She smells like Ino anyway! ... Ino didn't have kids did she? And, oh, boy! Apparently they had the same idea as Ammy is actually wearing a mask of... herself.]

[ino]

[good going, ammy! she just grins and waves]

Hi Ammy!

[mom_to_us_all]

[!! She knows her name! Ah well, approaches and sniffles her a little.]
