Costume party! Dude, awesome. Who's going? I've got my costume already.

Raven, you'll save me a dance? Or two or three. Assuming there is dancing. And Aara, Claudia, Bryn, Chloe, Rapunzel, I'm totally expecting dancing from you, too. Actually, pretty much just might ask everyone I know to dance, just tossing that out as a warning.

[He is so

[Xanth has three reactions to this:

1. He's not sure what Halloween is, aside from the night nearly one year ago that the Elegante started to go to hell. This makes him worried.

2. Bobby is safe from the expedition into the forest and seems to be as peppy as ever. This makes him happy.

3. Bobby has actually put up the petition for a movie night. That makes Xanth grin with silly pleasure. He sees all these responses, but he doesn't want to take the time to dig through them. Lazy get!]

So-- s-so did-- did they say y-yes?

[Bobby will totally reassure him about Halloween, if he asks! Also, he's very pleased to see Xanth on here, and gives him a bright smile.]

I'm not sure. I think we might be out of luck from the staff. But the point was brought up that some people have laptops, and might have movies on them! So I can ask around that way, too.

[stillseecracks]

Oh. O--Okay!

[Liiittle disappointed, but hey, Bobby tried. That's the nicest thing.]

...wh-- what's a-- a laptop?

[Man, Bobby is going to be so sad if he can't pull this off. He doesn't want to disappoint Xanth.]

A laptop? Oh! It's-

[And then he has to pause, because he'd been getting ready to say that it was like a mini-computer, but if Xanth doesn't know what a laptop is, he might not know what a computer is, either.]

Um. Well, it's got a keyboard and a screen and a memory and a bunch of programming. Basically it's something you can watch movies on, or play a video game on, or also write stuff up.

I want to see movies if you find them.

[A pause.]

I mean. If you'll let me.

[mister_10_below]

[Bobby doesn't recognize his voice, but he's going to smile all the same.]

Yeah, definitely! Anyone who wants to is totally welcome. I mean, if I can find some, that is.

Do you have movies on your world, or are you another one from a place without them?

[Audio]

[fallintheriver]

One without them. I've heard they're good, though.

[And if they are anything like videogames, he's heard correctly.]

[Video]

[mister_10_below]

Oh, man, then yeah, you're definitely invited! Everyone should get to watch a movie at least once. They're usually pretty awesome, and even the bad ones can be fun to laugh at.

[Bryn is surprised to hear her name mentioned among all the other girls but she smiles with obvious pleasure at being mentioned at all.]

Oh, well, yes, of course if you'd like to! And a movie night sounds like it would be a lot of fun. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.

[mister_10_below]

[And he's going to smile happily at her now.]

Wicked! I'm glad, I'd love to dance with you. And great! Glad you're in for that, too. Hey, actually, if we do manage to get one, do you think you could get some cupcakes for it? The ones at your party were awesome.

[brynkitten]

[And Bryn is going to remember this moment forever. It's a bit of a milestone for her: the first time a guy has asked her to dance. Squee.]

Of course, if you really want them. I'd have to see if the ingredients are available but if they are, then absolutely.

[mister_10_below]

[Awww, Bryn! If he knew, he'd be sure to make it extra special.]

That'd be amazing! Thanks, Bryn, you're the best.
