IC: Halloween Hiatus Hijinks

[2nd_slinger]

[Meanwhile, at the Video-Rama... There's a god, a superhero, and a cat standing outside the building.

The building is, occasionally, shuddering slightly on its foundations, as if something--or somethings--on the inside was trying to get out

. . . Preemptive carpentry?

[say_thee_nay]

[Glancing up from his work, but not stopping.]

'Tis as good a term for it as any, I suppose.

[justwannahave]

*looking at the shaking building* What's going on in there?

[say_thee_nay]

Aggressive remodeling, evidently.

Thou'rt familiar with these so-called "motion pictures," aye?

[justwannahave]

Yes--this was the video rental place, wasn't it?

[say_thee_nay]

Quite so, milady. My... colleague... is the proprietor of this establishment, and 'twould seem that his usual efforts at keeping the more gruesome denizens of his stock pacified for this month have been less successful than in years past.

[justwannahave]

Like the books in the Library? Wow, practically anything here can become sentient.

[say_thee_nay]

Quite similar to those, aye... Although I understand that, in extreme circumstances, occasionally denizens of the worlds contained within these tales can manifest in this Realm--and unfortunately, at this time of year, those travelers tend towards the monstrous and murderous.

[justwannahave]

It's horror stories and horror movies for the season . . . And the DVDs in there are rioting?

[say_thee_nay]

... dee-vee-dees?

[justwannahave]

It's something that records movies so that you can watch them at any time . . . Unless it's not a DVD rental store?

[say_thee_nay]

I believe he has referred to the objects as... "cassettes"?

[justwannahave]

[. . . So retro]

Cassette tapes . . . I haven't seen those in a while.

[say_thee_nay]

They are rare items, then?

[justwannahave]

Not then word I was looking for, but you could say that.

[say_thee_nay]

I would prefer to be accurate...
