[Today, have a confused conman on your screens!]

-- okay, there. So!... network ... here's a question. If anyone could fill me in, that'd be great. What's this "Halloween" thing I keep hearing about? Because the only other time I've heard that name was around this time last year and laaast year, there were monsters. Big ones. So, uh, if that's

W8!
I heard it was a8out dressing up and getting candy.
Are you telling me there are monsters involved!?
8ecause that sounds waaaaaaaay cooler!

[Sob it took him like ... a WHILE to read that and he's terrible at typing, so he's going to switch to audio.]

No. No no, trust me. It was horrible and weird. And I'm really hoping that was just a one time deal because it was not pleasant.

[audio]

[8etterl8]

Sounds like a blast! I'm an expert at battling monsters. [Though a lack of weapons might hinder that. She hasn't quite thought this through.]

I don't suppose there was treasure too?

[audio]

[greatbigrock]

Wh- you are?

[Excuse him, you just don't sound like the battling-monster-type.]

No, not that time. I don't think there's been any real treasure in this place unless you count money-making cats.

[audio]

[8etterl8]

Of course I am! am the best when it comes to battling the terrors of the lands!

[She huffs, but catches that last bit.]

What!? No treasure? Laaaaaaaame.

[audio]

[greatbigrock]

Soo - what kind of things have you battled?

[Keep on disbelieving. And he agrees - it's REALLY lame that there's no treasure.]

[audio]

[8etterl8]

[Really really lame.]

Aaaaaaaall kinds of things, all of them. Monsters of deep, dark, and beyond. Any good treasure is guarded by a strong beast, and I collected all of the treasure back home.

[audio]

[greatbigrock]

Hah, yeah? Gold, jewels? Stuff like that?

[audio]

[8etterl8]

All the gold! All the jewels. All the legendary weapons and hidden artifacts! I had a block in my hive that was filled with all my booty!

[audio]

[greatbigrock]

Sounds like you were living the good life.

[audio]

[8etterl8]

Hah! I was living the best life! Sure it had it's ups and downs. [Killing young trolls for spider mom, cycle of revenge on friends, planet getting destroyed]

But I knew how to live.

[audio]

[greatbigrock]

And that's the best kind of deal there is, right? I think you'd get along with a friend of mine.

[Ups and downs can be strangely ... good, really, in the big picture. Even if he'd rather stay away from most of the 'downs'.]
