A very merry Halloween! [Mingle]

Date: 31st of October
Characters: Open!
Warning: Non-sexual desecration of formerly buried corpses


On the morning of Halloween, when people first step out of their houses, they will almost step into something.

A bucket of water. Every flat and every house in the Mossgate Boundary has a bucket placed in front of its entrance door (and sometimes, especially in Folkton and Moss Manor, the back door too), in which scary apples are floating. A little sign taped to the bucket reads: Have fun bobbing!.

But that's not the only thing that happened. The second thing that people will notice is that there are billions of spiders of all sizes crawling all over the town and villages, the military base, the Manor House... everywhere. And they certainly did their job - trees, lanterns, the higher attractions on the pier, and everything else that is high all over Mossgate Council is covered in thick layers of cobweb.

And lastly... those who pass by a church will notice something about the graveyards around them. Namely, that someone placed skeletons on top of most of the graves... Awfully real looking ones. Really, really awfully real looking ones. To some of them, the soil of the graveyard still clings, and the graves underneath them are in a state that betrays that they were dug up during the night. DNA tests would show that, indeed, the skeletons belong to the individuals buried in the graves.

“The movie marathon was interrupted midway through, so he only got to see the majority of one of them. I still recall him reading off the titles from the promotion of the event. It included ‘The Tangler’, ‘The Thing That Ate Ice Station Zulu’, and ‘Nightmare in East Williston’. Apparently, ‘The Tangler’ was as much of a classic there as ‘Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde’, which was mentioned in a familiar list of popular monster movies.” At least some things between worlds are constant.

Arriving at the bike, Benjiro follows lead from Walter to make use of it. Rather than trying to swing a leg up and over, he carefully steps around the back tire and up over the bike seat. Thankfully, Walter being so much shorter than him lends to a lower bike seat so he can manage it. Easing to sit with his feet kept on the pavement to balance the support, he shakes his head at the offer, “You shouldn’t risk it. I can walk it, I’ll just be slow.” Walter can assist regardless to help get the speed above a lumbering walk so Benjiro can walk as much as he rides momentum.

iamnotgod: A man staring up and off to the right. (And He Asks Why.)

Mmm... Thread fade?

"Seriously?"

While there are several films going by that name here on Earth, somehow Walter can't imagine them being any culture's classic.

For once, he's glad he's short, given it makes things simpler for Ben.

"All right," he allows - and keeps his assistance subtle.

Sounds good

“That’s what survived to the year 2105,” he says with a mild shrug of his shoulders. Chad was one character he can remember the name of as the company of the female protagonist in the black and white film.

Grateful for the assistance, Benjiro makes the trek home with the bike carrying the majority of his weight and his friend keeping his mind off the pain of moving.
