Audio/Text--because that's how Jack starts out. ^^ scarygoodtime March 30 2011, 05:06:04 UTC

There's a city here? I mistook this place for a Town at first, but the write up never mentioned a city! Nor has anyone I've talked to...

Could you tell me more please? I'm one of the new arrivals; my name's Jack.

[Audio] Aight! wayward_mayor March 30 2011, 05:09:04 UTC

Yes! It is a city of cans and bits of plaster and various scavenged things.

But I suppose nobody would mention it; I mostly keep to myself here focusing upon my city! ...In all honesty of course it is simply a fake town of made up citizens, but it is fun regardless.

[Audio/Text]--works for me. Better impression for Jack this way too.^^ scarygoodtime March 30 2011, 05:11:22 UTC

Oh...I think I get it. I was kind of hoping it might be a real Town, but I'm glad you're enjoying yourself none the less. Thank you for the explanation!

[Audio/Text] :3 wayward_mayor March 30 2011, 05:29:08 UTC

You are quite welcome. But yes, regrettably it is not a "real" town, and is only pretend.

Re: [Audio/Text] :3 scarygoodtime March 30 2011, 05:30:08 UTC

I'm fairly sure there are those who would argue I'm not from a real 'Town' either, so don't worry about it. I'm glad it's fun for you--and it's clearly important to you as well.

[Audio/Text] wayward_mayor March 30 2011, 05:34:57 UTC

Yes it is! But you have perked my curiosity sir! What exactly do you mean by a town that is not a town?

Re: [Audio/Text] scarygoodtime March 30 2011, 05:36:57 UTC

OH it's very much a Town. Have you ever wondered where Holidays come from? I'm from a Town that is responsible for one of those holidays, Halloween Town. I'm given to understand there are those, likely, who don't believe in the various Towns, but I've seen their holiday doors. I've visited Christmas Town, so they do exist.

[Audio/Text] wayward_mayor March 30 2011, 05:42:08 UTC

[have a noise of confusion that probably is something like BLUH in text] Holiday? I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with the concept of a "holiday".

Re: [Audio/Text] scarygoodtime March 30 2011, 05:43:59 UTC

[That 'bwah?' noise is returned.]

You've never had a holiday? Ever? ...A holiday is a celebration. An occasion for people to gather, and have fun.

[Audio/Text] wayward_mayor March 30 2011, 05:51:42 UTC

Oh. Well I am sort of familiar with the concept then? Something then along the lines of a scheduled party or what have you?

Re: [Audio/Text] scarygoodtime March 30 2011, 05:53:04 UTC

Something like that, often having its roots in religious rituals, although many are celebrated secularly nowadays. Where I'm from, we're responsible for putting on Halloween every year. It's one of the holidays.

[Audio/Text] wayward_mayor March 30 2011, 05:58:43 UTC

And what exactly is this...Hallow een of which you speak? Your town is made of Halloween?

Re: [Audio/Text] scarygoodtime March 30 2011, 06:01:03 UTC

Well, no. Halloween is a holiday, which originated as a way to mark the night when the spirit world and the real world are closest in boundaries. It has its roots in various religions, but today is celebrated mostly as a festival of fun scares and candy, mischief and costumes, and spooky goodness. It's on October 31.

[Audio/Text] (night for a while :3) wayward_mayor March 30 2011, 06:14:38 UTC

That sounds very confusing! What exactly do you mean by spooky, and costumes?

Re: [Audio/Text] (night for a while :3) scarygoodtime March 31 2011, 03:03:45 UTC

Costumes include dressing up, usually as something you're not. Like say, a little girl pretending to be a fairy princess.

Spooky means something that inspires fear--something that is frightening.

[Audio/Text] wayward_mayor March 31 2011, 03:18:33 UTC

Well both of those things are things that are odd and also somewhat interesting in my opinion!
