Trick or Treat

[fuckyou_chorus]

[Today, the mess hall has sprouted a porch -- all the better for trick-or-treaters -- and on this porch sits some statues. There is a fourth gargoyle as well, holding a candy-filled bowl in its outstretched hands]

(Taking a piece of candy could land you with a Trick-- either loss of sight, speech, or hearing -- or it may be a perfectly harmless

[picks up a piece of candy, curious]

... it seems like a normal piece of candy.

[crowinginmyskin]

You shouldn't take candy from strangers, Captain! I've read that.

[pieta_au_lait]

Oh, Crow... do you think it's stranger-candy, then?

[crowinginmyskin]

Yeah, man, totally not safe at all.

[pieta_au_lait]

Oh...

[disappoint :(]

[crowinginmyskin]

You can't take candy unless you find it or a friend gives it to you!

[pieta_au_lait]

But I did find it. Just now.

[crowinginmyskin]

What, seriously? It's fine then, totally not stranger candy.

[pieta_au_lait]

... now I'm not so sure.

[crowinginmyskin]

[going to think hard about that candy]

Maybe we can just steal candy from someone else.

[pieta_au_lait]

I don't want to steal it.

[crowinginmyskin]

No stealing then? Fine, man, you're the Captain. How about this? Let's make it a competition. If we win it fair and square there's no problem.

[pieta_au_lait]

What did you have in mind?

[crowinginmyskin]

Dunno. A battle on who's better at hidin'? Or just some really cool game.

[kepthishead]

That doesn't mean you should eat it.

[pieta_au_lait]

But what if one of the cooks made it?
