rose: be mildly festive

[fluthlu]

[While the castle is full of kidlets and candy, Rose has taken her celebrations (namely a velvet cushion, a thick volume of rather grotesque looking horror stories, and a glass of something you probably want to hope is non-alcoholic) up to the rooftop. And of course, what would Halloween celebrations be without a costume. For the occasion, Rose has donned a slip dress and a fake beard.]

I do hate to jinx things with only thirty-four minutes left in the holiday, but I must say I'm a bit flabbergasted that Halloween's passed with no nauseatingly gruesome incidents. It seems the type of holiday this castle would enjoy going to town with on a yearly basis.

[A pause, and a little hum.]

Cheers.

oh im sure the gruesome nausea will come later
once we eat all this candy at once

[fluthlu]

Oh, assuredly so.
Did you dress up, Aradia?

[psych0p0mps]

sure did!
i am a skull girl
what about you rose?

[fluthlu]

I'm dressed as a Freudian Slip.
Do you have a Troll Sigmund Freud by chance?

[psych0p0mps]

i think so
isnt he the guy who said everyone subconsciously wants to fill it with their lusus?
i always thought that was pretty skeevy 0_0

[fluthlu]

That would more or less be an accurate description.

[psych0p0mps]

so whats a freudian slip

[fluthlu]

An unintentional error in speech, revealing one's own more private feelings, usually of a sexual nature. For example, if I was intending to say, "Aradia, you have a very nice dress", but instead told you, "Aradia, you have very nice breasts."

[psych0p0mps]

what are breasts

action, how did I even manage that one

[circleoflife]

Perhaps it celebrated too prematurely, and had become bored with the holiday when it actually arrived.

[Mufasa pads up a short distance away and sits, and smiles at Rose.]

Ah, I see you have decided to partake in this event as well.

lmao i was so confused for a second

[fluthlu]

I suppose the events surrounding that cat could be considered in the more macabre spirit of the season.

[She looks back at him, and gives a little tip of her glass.]

It was always a favorite at home. Ignoring it here would be criminal.

[circleoflife]

I cannot say the same for my own home, but it is an interesting sight to watch none-the-less.

[fluthlu]

I must admit, I'm a little curious - what is your home like?

[circleoflife]

[A fond smile spreads over his muzzle as he looks out from the roof.]

It is a land doused in light, and golden under the sun. If you look from Pride Rock, the flat plains stretch out all the way to the horizon. There are few trees, but many animals. It is truly grand.

[fluthlu]

That sounds beautiful.

[It also sounds like where lions live on Earth, but she doesn't say that. She has a feeling Mufasa wouldn't like hearing about speechless lions.]

Does it have a name?

[circleoflife]

[With pride in his voice:] The Pridelands.

[fluthlu]

It sounds lovely. Have you lived there your whole life?

[dupable]

[ There is a knocking sound. He is literally knocking on wood at the moment. ]

It's kind of nice that it's not screwing us over for once, even if I am almost positive it's still going to at some point before Halloween is up.

[fluthlu]

[She laughs at the knocking sound, and takes another sip.]

If it has plans to do so, it had better kick its gloomy ass into high gear.

[dupable]

Don't encourage it! If it goes really slowly then maybe it'll only have a few hours to make everything awful.

[fluthlu]

It has... [A pause.] ... thirty-two minutes, now. And counting. Not a particularly great amount of time to "make everything awful."

[Not that she's saying the castle is incapable of it. Hopefully the forces that be aren't listening tonight.]

Would you care to join me, John? It's much quieter up here.

[dupable]

Woah! That soon? Yeah, it's gonna have to move it's tail if it's gonna do much for it.

[ He knocks on wood again. ]

And sure, but where is here?

[fluthlu]

I'm on the roof.

[John can come meet her new kitty!]

Good job, drunky

[dupable]

Okay! I'll be up there in a minute!

i'm a real winner

[fluthlu]

[Rose pulls the fake beard/stache ensemble down to hang around her neck, and sits back to wait.]
