at night 🌸 the park
[While many major celebrations get ignored by Miracle Country, there's a few you can always count on. Valentine's Day, for example. And Halloween, of course! You could say what truly matters is candy. In any case, it's time for some Halloween style shenanigans.

Added to the recently carved pumpkins, more and more decorations start to show up throughout the days (you might've even seen a bunny here and there hanging little plastic bats around the place). The bazaar is now holding more themed items, like decorations for your own house, materials that could be used for costumes, some spookier movies and books, and of course, plenty of candy. You might be tempted to get swept up in the holiday spirit, but by the time the actual date arrives, you won't be able to pay for these the usual way. A new negative week has begun, and so for a while all the Usyagi will accept is the more rare, dark konpeito from your jars.



To help a little with this, there's a special holiday-themed quest! Play a prank of some sort on anyone else, and earn a few dark candy to use. And what better time for this than during the celebrations that night! Not quite such a formal scenario as the ballroom held the last time, it's more an assortment of little booths by the park, with all kinds of candy and drinks, even more items to dress up. No need to only be a jerk to others, you can show off your own costume, admire the carved pumpkins set out all over the place, or ignore the themed items and simply enjoy the abundance of candy. And even the Usyagi will join in!

You might get a visit from one of these little creepers, knocking at your door or seeking you out around the islands to try and get some candy as a gift. Should you not pay attention to them, or choose to deny them their request, well, expect a little "trick" in return. Just keep in mind that they're capable of doing much more than throwing eggs at your dome!]

🌸


[[Obviously backdated to the fitting date! Take advantage of the Usyagi's candy-deprived revenge to do event replays!]]

[Although once the person in question is a little more out of earshot, he does chuckle a little. Tee hee, giving people heart attacks.]

[He saw this whole thing and absolutely has a moment of crossing his arms and squinting. What the heck @ y'all.]

Doesn't seem all that funny.

[Sebastian's theme song plays softly in the background. Inaudibly, granted, but. You know it's there.]

[Heh,]

There is something almost endearing about people's delight in being frightened, no?

[The song of his soul, truly. Anyway, only the "no?" part of your sentence is right.]

What? How?

Well, this entire holiday? It originates from feelings of reverence for the dead, and from fear of them also-- a ritual reminder of the mortality of men. And yet, today what remains is this [he nods towards whoever the poor victim of Yuna's prank is] - this mixture of horror and delight at those selfsame reminders of death. Endearing, is it not?

[Humans are so cute with their weird feelings about their own short lives.]

[He's internally like It's Not That Deep.jpg but. Okay... Maybe the guy just likes talking. about stuff. Uh.]

Guess it'd be kind of a downer of a party otherwise. [If it were still tradition l ol.]

[Meanwhile, Sebastian is delighted to finally have an audience for Philosophy Corner With Sebastian. Usually Lucifer is an attentive enough audience, but he's not bright enough to offer any insightful commentary, alas...]

Would it? [But... death can be quite lovely?] Oh, but even the celebrations of old had their charm.

[Run Keith, you don't know what you've wrought.]

Yeah? How'd that usually go?

Humans were closer to death in those days.

They are so still, of course, but then it was a daily reminder, ever-present, lurking behind every corner. When people have clear stakes in something going well, when what they are celebrating or trying to appease is on their very doorstep, their passion grows impressive.

[Tl;dr: "more intense, probably similar levels of getting wasted as today", probably.

(Also, Sebastian is so good at human-ing.)]

[Wow indeed your human skills are to be praised - this is so close to Keith's probably least favorite subject ever so fast it's almost impressive. And though he can't keep from bristling visibly, he holds most of the reaction to himself, turning to quiet, dry sarcasm instead.]

Can't imagine what that's like. [Just minus the celebration part maybe.]

[At least Sebastian's good enough at reading humans - please be impressed - that he can tell this is veering into "unpleasant subject" territory... not that he feels bad about that, but.]

[He nods a little...] It seems a near constant amongst those brought here - most all live hazardous lives.

[Smiles at him and lifts a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture. Does he mean don't make fun of the poor victim of skeleton-kun, or does he mean you should keep his secret? Ah, well. It works either way.]

[No worries, mini-me.]

It certainly is lively around here tonight, no?

In more ways than one. [Since he's adding to it :'|]
