☭ SOUL VII -- TRICK OR TREAT EVENT

[courage_meister]

Gordon.

I know it's almost Halloween, but why are there several piles of candy in our room? This seems overboard. It's not like we'll be getting trick-or-treaters. Right? What would demons want with--

WHAT IN THE WORLD?!

I think one of those pieces of candy winked at me! What kind of candy is this?!

...

Caterpillar eyes? This is disgusting!

[Poor mangaverse Maka is completely ignorant of who this strange, tiny man(?) is and will likely regret paying any attention to him come the next comment.]

Um. Hello?

START

[bealwayswaiting]

Silence!

[bealwayswaiting]

Everything about the situation is far too obvious in your sad, lonely eyes.

[bealwayswaiting]

Your bowl of candy gives everything away - it is All Hallow's Eve, and this is the Netherworld!

[bealwayswaiting]

Your silence is understandable. I, too, would be awestruck before such intellectual prowess.

[bealwayswaiting]

HOWEVER!

This exchange can't be terminated so easily!

[bealwayswaiting]

Indeed, I have offered you valuable information, a comoddity that can't be given without some fair trade. You must offer me something else in return.

[bealwayswaiting]

And the only thing of equivalent value to information... is information!

END

[bealwayswaiting]

What is this place, and why do you have that bowl of candy?

[courage_meister]

What? But you just...

This is the Netherworld and it's Halloween, so...I have candy. Or what is supposed to be candy, anyways.

START

[bealwayswaiting]

Silence! Young people should be seen, and not heard.

[bealwayswaiting]

There was a time when I was like you. Yes, a free, rebellious spirit, caving to nobody's rules but my own.

[bealwayswaiting]

But those days are done! Now, I do not even follow my own rules! That is your task.

[bealwayswaiting]

For instance, one must never give information without being prompted for it. This was your first mistake, see.

END

[bealwayswaiting]

Why yes, I'll have you know that today is none other than the day of Halloween! How fortunate you are to have coincidentally acquired a bowl of candied treats.

One might even suspect that I have come here in pursuit of treats!
