What's Halloween? I hear people talking about it. Is it anything like Samhain? Because I know that's going to be soon.

Another thing...does anyone know if there are turnips at the grocery store? Because I'll need them for the end of the month.

weird american rituals, !phone, i'm irish, !ic

What do you need a turnip for? They taste gross.

They're not for eating. They're for carving faces in.

You dress up and go door to door and get candy.

I did it here last year.

Candy tastes good.

Did bad things happen last year...?

They didn't do much. They threw toilet paper everywhere.

Scout thinks we won't be lucky this year

I see. We'll have to be careful, then.

I'll still carve lots of turnips and put them in the windows, to be sure.

Ohoh. You've yet to hear about it? A pity. It is quite the fun event. [ cacklecackle ]

It does sound fun. I like candy.

Ahahaha! Candy, is it. ... Perhaps to other creatures, even without such a thing, there is no time as sweet as Halloween.

There wasn't any candy where I'm from. Perhaps I can take some back with me.

But it does sound fun, even without the candy!

Uu-, Halloween is fun! Go around and prank people, tell them "trick or treat" and they gotta give you a treat or you trick them! Gotta dress up, too!

I see. That does sound fun! And it's good that you can still dress up.

kihihi_witch October 14 2010, 23:38:55 UTC
Have to. Don't get candy unless you dress up, uu-.

Looks like I'll have to do that, then!

What do you need turnips for?

To carve faces in! They'll keep the bad spirits away from the house.

...They do?

Yes! If you make the faces scary enough.
