(09) Pumpkin Assault [Open Commentlog]

Oct 20, 2011 17:46

[There is definitely something off about the plague doctor today. First, he was a bit suspicious of the pumpkins, though found them rather pleasant and curiously well-made. Then he thought he caught a glimpse of one of the old villagers faces on one, but quickly moved on and tried to block it out of his mind ( Read more... )

[Well this is different. Tammy stands a bit away from Malkus and watches as he has his little freak out. She's got a pumpkin tucked under her arm. The face on it isn't hers, but rather of a forlorn looking female. She's wearing a black backpack and something of a vaguely-amused expression.]

Not a fan of squash? Or the art of carving?

[A jolt runs up his spine and he almost immediately throws himself on top of what remains of his pumpkin. Quickly staring over his shoulder, the doctor realizes that this is yet another unfamiliar face. This eases him, a bit...]

What? Oh. No. I mean, I'm quite fond of these little artworks. Seems you are, too? It's just- I would prefer that this particular bit of vegetation were to be eh-... not around. Or visible.

[She arches an eyebrow and glances down at the pumpkin she's carrying. Yeah, this one is special. But not in the same way that one is to him, it seems. No smashing of this pumpkin.]

You have to admit it's some pretty damned detailed art. I usually stopped at the two triangles and the toothy grin.

[She eyes the remains of his pumpkin.]

So what's your beef with that one?

doctoral_bird October 21 2011, 00:55:23 UTC

Indeed it is. I'm afraid I am unfamiliar with carving faces into these things...

[He blinks, glancing down at his pumpkin before looking back up at her. If she looked a bit closer, she'd see a faint trace of one of the doctors eyes peeking out of the lens. It's almost identical to the scrap of pumpkin-face that's nearest to her.]

It was a rather... grotesque face. Must have been a demon of some sort, or something. To scare the younger residents. Did not wish to have the children afraid of anything..

[Well, this was an odd sight. Sandrath paused in his sight-seeing to watch the man destroy the pumpkin.]

...I was going to offer my assistance but it seems you're having no issue there.

[There's a muffled huffing coming from under the mask, which is now flecked with pumpkin bits and seeds.]

Quite. A simple task. Thank you for the potential assistance, though.

[He peers up at him. Must be another wave of new residents at this keep?]

[The fallen arch-angel stepped over to survey the damage and casually reached over to flick off some pieces of pumpkin.]

Do you do this often? Smashing pumpkins?

doctoral_bird October 21 2011, 01:17:57 UTC

[Malkus blinks, fidgeting a bit as he brushes off the remaining chunks of squash.]

No, not quite. That was the first time, to be honest. Hopefully the last. My apologies, though. I am Malkus Iverwelling.

[He does a quick, small bow before mushing at the pumpkin with his feet.]

[Yep, just going to watch this bizarre display from a safe distance here, Malkus.]

You know you look really weird doing that, right, Bird Face?

[He could use your name, sure, but this is more amusing.]

doctoral_bird October 21 2011, 03:21:32 UTC

[Rude! Why would you- wait...

Bird face... This is good. This means one would connect the mask to his face, rather than question his ACTUAL face. Exactly as he would want it.]

I suppose so, but erm- This lantern. It would have been best to never have carved it in the first place. I've fixed that, though.

[He nods, triumphantly.]

fallintheriver October 21 2011, 03:26:49 UTC

Hah, yeah you did.

[Fixed it real good.

But hey. He was really getting into that destruction. Ezra wonders whose face it could have been. And the best way to find out? Asking.]

Who was carved into that one? You must really hate them. [A pause.] Or maybe you're scared of them.

doctoral_bird October 21 2011, 03:57:03 UTC

O-Oh. It is not fear. It was just a face I did not wish for others to see.

[Does he have a problem with saying it was himself? Too late for Ezra to see it, anyways! Pumpkins all smashed...]

I suppose you can say it is hate. Or shame. Either one, really. Perhaps both, but anyways... Have you found yours, or any who are familiar? There seem to be quite a lot.
