[ From the flickering and the murmuring, lighted figures poised over the screen, Tyki's in the theatre. He doesn't seem to be paying much attention to the movie, however - in spirit of Halloween, it seems to be some kind of Night Of The Living Dead ripoff - reserving most of his interest for the giant tray of snacks poised over the next seat. ]

At least they weren't bags of marbles!

[exstinctor]

I doubt he keeps those on hand.

[goldenpine]

It's not that far a stretch, what with his apparent candy-hording instincts.

[exstinctor]

Do candy and marbles often go together?

[redpaperfan]

Lillies, maybe.

[exstinctor]

I thought lilies expressed regret.

[redpaperfan]

Among other things. As a welcome gift, it would be appropriately ironic.

[exstinctor]

"Hello, welcome, have some flowers, you'll disappear soon." Overall, not a bad sentiment.

[pharshinra]

Passengers disappear and they try to mask over it?

[exstinctor]

That does seem to be the case.

[pharshinra]

How quaint, don't you think? They must think that we're children being shepherded.

[exstinctor]

To be fair, they haven't been given much reason to think that we're any harder to manipulate than children.

On the bright side ... Candy!

[exstinctor]

Well, someone's easy to please.

[anhonestguy]

Eh, what can you do?

[exstinctor]

Eat the candy, I suppose. Would you like mine?

[ilusionoscura]

Mental trauma? Only a few suffered it.

[exstinctor]

You don't count having to listen to their complaints as a form of mental trauma?

[ilusionoscura]

I admit it did not bother me. One gets to learn quite interesting things.

[exstinctor]

Then obviously you were given the candy by mistake.
