[The return to 'normal' in the days following the fog is, as always when something happens, kind of jarring as expected. Just a fact that can't quite be helped. The weather today is crisp, a some of the usual chill in the air, but not unpleasant with the sun back out in an ironic contrast of atmosphere, a break in the steady shift into the much colder later weeks of Fall. What else is there to do but to settle into it?

At least that's the idea today -- with several pumpkins of varying shapes and sizes taking up a wide open area and a simple task at hand. Carving! Two nerds in particular in the middle of it all together, who may have gone a little overachieving on the number of pumpkins they ended up taking on from the Usyagi. Whatever, it’s for decorations, or so the quest note claims. Keith figures it's fine if others end up joining in anyway and doesn't seem too worried about it. Shiro doesn’t seem too worried, either… that is, when he’s paying attention to things around him and not the pumpkin he’s trying to carve.

There are some pumpkins pre-hollowed out already, for those who are squeamish about all the pulp. Lots of different types of pumpkins, there’s no way these two will get through them all, probably. So why not help out and also get some konpeito for your troubles?]

[ooc: Tiny pumpkin log! Backdated slightly to yesterday for Keith's birthday, see the comments for individual threads with them and open for all else :>]

[Sitting around a bunch of pumpkins is all well and good, but does Keith have to look this right at home holding a big old knife in his hand to carve them? He's not particularly good in the sense of how the jack-o-lantern faces come out looking, mostly lopsided even if the general shape is correct. But you can't say he's not putting a certain level of attention to it. An artiste, truly.

In any case it's a nice way to relax more than a task of busywork, staying close to Shiro while they do it, the wolf nosing into some of the hallowed out pumpkins around them. The date itself almost could have slipped his mind - something he hasn't thought about much with the way time has spanned out since leaving Earth. It's strange to even be in a place that follows the months the way they were used to. But... well, maybe it's nice. You won't catch him complaining, in any case.]

[Date might have slipped Keith's mind, but it definitely didn't slip Shiro's. In any case, he's peeking over Keith's shoulder to get a look at his pumpkin, smiling a little at his ~artiste~ tendencies. Hee.

Waits until he's done carving a particular part of the pumpkin so he doesn't accidentally stab himself when he inevitably jars him-- then hooks his chin over his shoulder and flops a little against him, leaning on him. Hay bb hay.]

Looks cute.

	[Leans back into him because he's always down for flop times, sidelong glancing at Shiro before looking back at his work on the pumpkin in front of him.] So not spooky enough? [Tbh it probably is all creepy-lookin' lol, but if everything he does is cute to you, it can't be helped.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[.... So he might have been talking about you and not the pumpkin, but you know.] Oh. No, it's definitely spooky. [In a cute way?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[If he knew he'd get flustered. As it is, he just kinda pffts a little, turning the pumpkin over in his hands. Hmmm.] I guess that's another one down, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We're making good time on all this. [And there's that familiar plink! sound of some konpeito being added to Keith's jar once the jack-o-lantern's complete. Hurray for slowly replenishing Shiro's in particular after the sakura jam devastation of this summer.] Guess so. [...] Want to take a break? I have something for you.

	[They gotta house and feed themselves somehow, yes lmao. He has the briefest pause, a blink of it before nodding in answer. He sets the pumpkin down and shifts where he's sitting a little more toward Shiro now.] ... Ah, yeah. Sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Leaning back a bit to reach behind him where he's set aside a small pastry box.]

I, uh, know I've already said happy birthday today. [Probably the first thing he said as soon as they woke up, all sappy and obnoxious tbh.] But I didn't want to give this to you first thing since, you know, morning and all that.

[He holds it out to him.] And don't worry, I didn't make it.

[Inside he'll find a giant red velvet cupcake with an obscene amount of frosting on it. But the frosting's shaped like a hippo, complete with little chocolate chip eyes and everything.]
