[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

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]

[ino]

Probably hiding because what!

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

[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.

[chocoponying]

What about asking people in the castle instead? I bet most of them have no idea about Halloween anyway. [Like him!]

[ino]

How could they not know about Halloween?? They can all read, can't they? [LMAO. sorry cloud, she's grumpy and sugar deprived]

[chocoponying]

[Wings shrug!] No one has really explained it correctly to me. I didn't know it was supposed to be only at night.

[ino]

That's because it isn't. [she frowns] You don't have Halloween where you come from?

[chocoponying]

Nope.

Dictated

[not_mafia]

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

[ino]

[RUDE, TSUNA]

Hey!

[ino]

Well, that sucks.

[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?

[chocoponying]

Not that much.

What are you supposed to be? [Talking about the costume.]

[ino]

[grumble grumble]

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

[ino]

I'm an ANBU warrior! [she jumps off the couch, brandishing a knife. YEAH LITTLE KIDS WITH SHARP THINGS!!!]

[chocoponying]

[...]

Cool?

[not_mafia]

Aren't you even a little concerned?

[ino]

Of course not! I can take care of myself! [pouting]

[ino]

You don't even know what that is!

[chocoponying]

I don't, but I bet you wouldn't be wearing it if it wasn't cool, or would you?

[ino]

[LMAO. does that mean he thinks she's cool .... well, her irritation is temporarily assuaged by backhanded compliment]

It's a type of secret warrior. They're the best of the best.
