Look I get holidays and celebrations and all that shit, but after last night I kind of feel like every fucking day should be Halloween. Those shots were amazing and the decorations? Fuck yeah, it's kind of like telling the Ninth back home that they don't know shit about amazing decor. Had a fucking blast and kind of want to do it again already. Why just once? Don't tell me "oh we gotta save up the energy to make it worth it" or some asshole comment like that.

If I showed up in like April and disappeared in July or something like that, I'd be pissed for missing out on something like this. So here's my proposal - once a month is fine for compromise.

... getting Harrow to show a little leg is in no way a motivator for this post.

Somebody tell me it's perfectly normal for the first ultrasound to look like a literal peanut. Just kept thinking of this fucker.

Okay okay alright

I have spent all fucking day being hounded by a flock of ravens or crows or some shit and it's starting to get creepy. Is this a Hallowhat'sitween thing? Am I just fucking lucky?

Unlucky? I mean shit, we already knew that.



Anyway, don't go outside, Letters.

Hey, Catra...

With the holiday coming up, do we need to make a list of costumes that people are planning on donning themselves in should we have a repeat of previous years and we have some oddities occurring and running around the streets and forest?

It feels responsible, but I also understand should we be embracing chaos.

Hey, it's Halloween next week and apparently I've made it my mission in this place to throw parties as we've done some pretty good Halloween parties at the Keep so guess what: doing it again.

So, details:

Halloween, starting at 7PM (Yes, I know it's a Thursday. Drink responsibly or don't, I'm not your dad and it's your Friday hangover.)
Greyskull Keep
Come in costume or I'll give you shit

PS: This is not associated with the Youth Center (off the hook, Storm) so I don't have to be professional.

GILMORE & VEX

Hey guess what, I'm going to throw a party if you want to help.

( Last minute Samhain costume ideas from the local shop I guess 😂 )

Needs more cleavage. I'm going to look for a fae one next WISH ME LUCK.

So things have been chaotic with the memory issues and now pumpkins attacking students among other things, but I haven't forgotten my husband's birthday, I promise. I just forgot to say anything about it. That's different.

Anyway, anyone who's free to come out to the cabin tomorrow for a barbecue around 6 is welcome. I set up a glow in the dark paintball course outside. It has swords that can land a paint splatter if you'd rather sneak up on the people that prefer guns.

Since he's not a fan of surprises, I'll let him see all of this. Kipp says he wants to help make your cake so uh. Sorry ahead of time. Love you.

Having to explain one's resume in a job interview when you have had only one set of duties your entire adult life and it doesn't really translate easily to this sort of setting? Awkward, yet somehow also easier than one might have expected. I like to think it's my natural charm, more than anything else. (It's hereditary.) (Not magical, though I understand clarifying that unprompted makes it seem as though the opposite might be true. Let's move on from this before I get myself into unwarranted trouble.)

That said, I am now gainfully employed and will be found at the Great Library, where I was spending much of my time at already. It seemed only right.

And rather exciting? As I said, only one job for my adult life and this is going to be quite different than training to run a city, so! I don't start until next week, but come and see me and make me work, please and thank you.

For the record, I just watched a number of jack-o-lanterns roll around campus, trying to bite at the ankles of students running around and away from them between classes. I was able to stop one with a firebolt, but the person it was chasing seemed more irritated that they were covered in hot pumpkin goo than that I had saved their ankles from being gnawed on, so—everyone else has to fend for themselves, now.

Anyway, happy Tuesday? I hope your feet aren't chewed on by a pumpkin today.

Alright, well, this very legitimate and perfectly reasonable memory wiping business has gotten out of control. Our contacts assure us they are working most diligently on it, however...I am the sort that would rather take issues in my own hands.

(Harrow, this is one of those 'other duties as assigned' in case you were curious)

If you are interested in working out a solution, please come to the DOA. If you have no ability to do so but would like to support, I enjoy a full bodied red and spicy food. If you are being impacted by this memory issue--or if someone has told you that you are, I suppose, give us about an hour to start and then please come by. I make no immediate promises, but we will get to the root of this.

I just finished inventorying the entire store so if you're looking for a certain type of game, I have so much useless information in my head and would love to word vomit all of my opinions. And now, in the interest of sparking debate, I present the following questions:

Red vines vs. Twizzlers, which red licorice adjacent candy reigns supreme? (there is a right choice, don't listen to Teddy about this one thing, everything else you can listen to him)

If Halloween centered around a meal, like Thanksgiving or Christmas, what would that 'traditional' meal look like?

What type of movies are more inherent to Halloween: scary, horror movies, or corny spooky movies?

If you had to eliminate one candy forever from Halloween, what would it be and why? (and why is the answer the crappy black and orange wrapped candy that no one really knows the name of?)

Finally, and this is a pretty specific one: do we think that the Elder Beasts that hang out around my mom's our spooky cabin will allow me to decorate them, and if so, what should they wear? Do I lean into spooky? Do I do something ironic? They're sentient, but really only come to life when someone comes to the cabin and I think they'd basically do what I ask? Hard to say, really.
