[Friday the 7th, filtered voice post to Shiki]

Hey Shiki, remember what we were talking about with the pumpkins? Wanna check out the farm after school to see if they have anything?

[Tuesday the 11th, voice post]

[He hums thoughtfully before speaking.] There's still people taking care of the farm, right? I was just up there

[Tao is also at the grocery store, since that's where food is, and food is good. Upon seeing another cat person/Leon, she'll amble over, with food in her hand.]

[Leon is in the middle of inspecting a small, cute orange pumpkin when he sees Tao coming over.]

Hi Tao. Here for groceries? [...A lame and obvious greeting.]

[action]

[catus_carnival]

Yep!

[Taking a bite out of the food in her hand.]

What're you doing?

[book_of_chaos]

Looking at pumpkins. [He holds up the little one he's been looking at.] Have you heard about pumpkin carving before?

My apologies, but might I ask what you mean by this holiday not exactly being fun here?

[Voice]

[book_of_chaos]

...Oh. It's-- [Huh. They didn't have a lot of experiments based solely on holidays here, did they?] Sometimes the Malnosso have had experiments based on holidays here. The ones that have been affected before are Valentine's Day and Halloween.

[Voice]

[eyesofpity]

I had seen information about one for Valentine's Day, but not a mention of Halloween. It is not a holiday that exists in my world so I have no idea what to expect.

[Voice]

[book_of_chaos]

It's a spookier holiday, related to the souls of the dead, from what I understand. One year, a giant hedge maze surrounded the village, with giant poisonous spiders inside of it. People also end up getting stuck in random costumes, too.

Hey, definitely! That sounds like a good idea, I didn't even think about that.

[book_of_chaos]

It didn't really occur to me either, but it seems so obvious now. [He laughs a little.] You'll be okay with it? I'm gonna have to run back home and get some boots for the mud.

[Filtered to Leon + Shiki]

[so_shik]

Sure, why not? I've got boots at the shop I can use, it's not a big deal. Why don't you swing by here and we'll go from there, okay?

[Filtered to Leon + Shiki]

[book_of_chaos]

Great. I'll try not to take too long. [He'll probably grab a few other things because of the cooling weather.]

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

Halloween, huh? I've got a few stories. The holiday ain't nothin' like how they do it here!

[Voice]

[book_of_chaos]

Any of them not involve pulling pranks?

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

Don't you wanna hear my many Mischief Night exploits?

[Voice]

[book_of_chaos]

Depends how entertaining they are.

[While looking for groceries to make food for her and Fuuko, Nagisa spots a certain person with adorable cat ears.]

Hi Leon! Are you grocery shopping too?

[Action]

[book_of_chaos]

[Said cat ears perk at the familiar voice, and Leon turns to smile at his friend.]

Hi Nagisa. I was shopping, but I ... guess I got distracted.

[Action]

[repeatsyearly]

Oh, really?

[She returns the smile and looks over to where Leon had been looking before. Oh that's different.] ..Pumpkins?

[Action]

[book_of_chaos]

Yeah. I was thinking about taking a few. [He crouches and picks up one of the smaller pumpkins that he had been looking at.] It's going to be Halloween soon.
