[For no mere mortal can resist]

[There seems to be a shortage of zombies in camp today. If you choose to follow the trail of gnawed on limbs to the outskirts of the forest, you'll find there is a very good reason for that absence.

... for varying interpretations of 'good.'

The more mobile zombies have been herded into a group and are apparently re-enacting the Thriller Dance.

... You really weren't kidding about all this Halloween business. Damn.

[skullkingabout]

Of course not! Halloween is serious business.

[owlneeder]

I didn't even know what it was till I came here. Back where I come from... well, they didn't exactly know how to party.

[skullkingabout]

Don't feel down! There's still time to get involved!

[owlneeder]

Oh, I plan on it! I dunno about dancing, though, I might just watch that part. They taught me a lot of stuff back then but dancing sure as hell wasn't one of them.

[skullkingabout]

Oh, I'm sure we'll find something for you to do! With only 29 days until Halloween, there's lots going on!

What are you good at?

[owlneeder]

Uhh... fighting. And basketball.

[skullkingabout]

Hmm. Basketball, is it?

[owlneeder]

Uh huh.

[skullkingabout]

Pumpkins are orange and round ... hmm ...

[owlneeder]

They don't bounce real well, though.

[skullkingabout]

True -- I'll put you down for stalking then.

[owlneeder]

... Stalking? As in following people around?

[skullkingabout]

That's right! And then jumping out suddenly!

[owlneeder]

Do I get to wear a freaky costume?

[skullkingabout]

But of course!
