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.

[kepthishead]

I think we have those.

[pieta_au_lait]

Mm, we should have some spices, too... oh, maybe we can make those cookies with the sugar and cinnamon... I forget what they're called...

[kepthishead]

I imagine Gilbert knows. He's the one that cooks on Tuesdays.

[pieta_au_lait]

I remember how to make them, I just never remembered what we called them... it was an old recipe from Germany... oh well. Have you seen any brown sugar?

[kepthishead]

No. I'm not allowed in the kitchen.

[pieta_au_lait]

Well, you're allowed back in for now. Come help me.

[kepthishead]

I know that. I'm not allowed unsupervised, as that wasn't the only thing I set on fire.

[pieta_au_lait]

... what did you do...?

[taking out bowls and whisks]

[kepthishead]

I'm too impatient to cook.

[pieta_au_lait]

Well, just follow my directions, and you should be fine.

[kepthishead]

[...he looks for the fire extinguisher. just in case.]

[pieta_au_lait]

[yeah that's probably a good idea. setting out the materials and ingredients and starts explaining how to make Snickerdoodles]

[kepthishead]

[he is listening! mostly.]

[pieta_au_lait]

It shouldn't be too difficult. Can you measure the dry ingredients for me?

[kepthishead]

[that he can do! with success, even.]

[and only a few muttered curses.]
