october eve

[fuckyou_chorus]

[Tonight the Mess Hall is filled with the smell of pumpkin and festive cheer! There are pumpkin pies, pumpkin bars, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin spice tea--it's all very cozy and warm and not at all ominous! ... Which in turn makes it kind of ominous, whoops. But, hey! Maybe this year will be different!]

[Eww, pumpkin]

[littlestdeath]

[Eating all the pumpkin things!!]

Cindy! Want to try some?

[justwannahave]

I'll pass. Pumpkin is not my favourite pie, soup, cookie or tea ingredient.

[littlestdeath]

I've never tried it before. It's interesting.

[justwannahave]

And probably rich in vitamin A too. But not to my tastes.

[littlestdeath]

Oh, so you just don't like it. I guess we'll be sick of it by the time Camp decides to stop giving it to us.

[justwannahave]

There are other options. Also, it's like Camp is telling us that October is here.

[littlestdeath]

I see. Do you think there will be pumpkins in the cornfields?

[justwannahave]

[I bet there will be.]

Maybe. For carving lanterns and whatnot as a fun Camp activity.

[littlestdeath]

That's right, you can make lanterns with them! I haven't made lanterns since I was little.

[justwannahave]

[pumpkin guts, eurgh]

It's a thing to do with Halloween here.

[littlestdeath]

Oh, Halloween! I know that one. Where I'm from we usually just dress up and get candy, though. And make the lanterns. But we don't make them with pumpkins.

[justwannahave]

Something to with harvest festivals,i suppose. There will probably be candy--sugar-free candy.

[littlestdeath]

It's not as fun if there isn't sugar in the candy.

[justwannahave]

True.

Now if everyone in Camp was getting high on real candy . . . that sounds like a real party.

[littlestdeath]

[laughs]

It's always more fun with real sugar! Everyone'll get hyper.
