[28] Port: Is there anywhere better than Salem in October?

[notarrowette]

Okay, so let's see. So far this port there have been no maniacal dictators, no zombies, no torturous ghosts and no mobbing townspeople. We haven't had any magic spells turning us into other people, giving us false memories or switching our genders. That makes this the first actual as-advertised port I've been to since I came here

Definitely! I saw some great places we can look. So what do you think? Ninjas? Sailors? Superheroes? Witches?

...Cissie. Did you see the sailors down by the wharf? I could just... watch. All day.

Superheros and witches might be a little too autobiographical, don't you think? ...Although it could still be fun. I say we window shop!

...New plan: meet up at Dunkin Donuts, get some pumpkin lattes and pumpkin muffins/donuts/anything-and-everything-pumpkin-flavored and go eat by the water? For the view, of course.

[goodgrasshopper]

Maybe a little. I love shopping.

That sounds like a fabulous plan. I've been living on pumpkin lattes since we got here, and the view by the water is amazing. [grin]

[notarrowette]

And we can shop! It's like a miracle.

I plan to OD on pumpkin flavored stuff and sugary coffee drinks while I've got the chance. I think we should take advantage of that view for as long as possible too!

Can I just say how thrilled I am that nobody's tried to kill me yet? I've actually been able to keep my Halloween costume on instead of my work one.

[notarrowette]

Managing to avoid attempted murder is always a plus! What costume did you wind up with?

[ichoosefight]

I went with a sexy cop costume. With some added leggings and a warm jacket, I manage to not look like a slut!

[notarrowette]

[Laughs] It is ridiculously hard to find adult-sized costumes that aren't totally slutty. I'm planning to window shop today and see what I can find.

[rayney_day]

Have to agree - and I'm a veteran.

[notarrowette]

How many ports have actually turned out to be what they seem, like this?

[rayney_day]

Not many... And this is the first I've actually liked.

[notarrowette]

Then I definitely think we should be counting our blessings for this one and enjoying it while we can! Lord knows when the next one might be...

[chicagoshope]

I've got mixed feelings, but yeah, it's nice to relax. *why hallo again! Long time no see*

[notarrowette]

[OHAI! QUESTION! How long has Harry been gone? Because in your last hiatus post, I think you said to assume he was around being a hermit, sooo that's kind of what we did! So I'm not sure if Cissie should be happy to see him or in a pissy mood because she has abandonment issues and he vanished. ;) ...Also not sure if he was there when Murphy left for Jae's hiatus.]

[chicagoshope]

*Sorry about that, I hiatus'd longer than I'd intended even then. We can assume he sorta vanished for the last week while I'd been gone? That way I step on nobody's toes with what I asked earlier*

[notarrowette]

[No worries! I just wasn't sure how to have Cissie reply! Prepare for teenage attitude, Harry. ;) Welcome back!]

[amagicalmystery]

The Barge'll throw us a death toll if anything happens. ...Probably.

[shrug] Time to go find myself a costume.

[notarrowette]

It's a little sad when we're hoping for death tolls, but I get what you mean. I'm just going to keep hoping things will continue normally and enjoy myself.

That's my plan for today too. What're you thinking of?

[amagicalmystery]

It's a little sad we rely on this place for our vacations at all, but we've got no choice I suppose.

Oh, I was thinkin' a fun game would be if the whole Barge dressed up as each other and we took bets on when the first fight would break out.

[notarrowette]

I suppose we should be grateful we get any at all. I'm just glad this particular vacation isn't traumatizing.

[Cissie laughs.] Hey, not a bad idea. Who're you picking?
