Halloween ] [ when all the little ones come and play

[iamdamnloyal]

What: Halloween!! Trick'or Treating and a Slumber Party!
When: October 31st.
Where: Ballroom to Castle to City to Ballroom
Rating: G to PG13

Early when you rise, it feels like you've had the best night's sleep. You're well-rested and the air outside the window is crisp and showing more than just the signs of fall. Mostly, because the seasons are weird here. You should be used to that. The castle has opted to go simple for the holiday, providing only invitations to all to take the children of the castle Trick or Treating starting at three in the afternoon. There is the promise of a slumber party and time to exchange and enjoy candy. Residents are given bags of candy to hand out (though the castle suspects some might simply eat it themselves) and large Halloween themed bowls.

Costumes are hung, ready to be worn, for all the little boys and girls. With spider rings around their toothbrushes and glow in the dark vampire teeth in their water glass, the castle is glad that the young ones are so excited for the holiday. They all get dressed, proudly displaying their costume, and head down to meet the rest of the children where they hope to have a memorable Halloween for many years to come.

[ Duke just sits and listens. ]

Possibly. It mostly means he's not home a lot though.

[He crawls back a minute later and sits next to Duke]

'least he's around.

[radiantwingedone]

Sometimes.

[ Blinking over at him, but really not that accurately. ]

... Yours isn't?

[pharaohlighting]

Ain't ever met my father.

[radiantwingedone]

Oh.

[ He's not sure what to say to that. ]

... But this means you can decide who he was, doesn't it? And why you never met him?

[ Because then you can make some sort of story out of it, right? ]

[pharaohlighting]

I guess I've wondered about it sometimes. Maybe he's even an important noble and he'll come and find me someday.

[radiantwingedone]

You can build on that too. Maybe he's important, and some bad people don't like him, and he can't find you until he takes care of the bad people so you'll stay safe!

[ And it automatically makes Felix's dad a good person. Maybe a hero! ]

[pharaohlighting]

Yeah...yeah maybe. Like a bunch of evil wizards that tried to take over his country.
