Rating: ???

[It took quite a bit of work on short notice, but the castle cemetery has undergone a remarkable transformation this evening. Every grave is decked out in brightly colored flowers, especially marigolds. As night falls, the place will start to glow by candlelight as well. There's a primary table with food laid out, where you can put your potluck dishes, and another small one with some craft supplies. The music playing is upbeat, like it's encouraging you to dance! This is meant to be a happy occasion, after all.]

[SECTIONS: FOODS | CRAFTS / FACE PAINTING | MINGLING | NOV 2 - WANDERERS' YARD. Will be in and out (mostly out) tonight due to work but yeah tag around!]

[ Arya is currently trying some of the candied pumpkin. She half-expects it to be as awful as the rest of the Earth food, but it actually tastes...normal. Even good. Feeling a bit more daring, she takes a sugar skull as well. ]

[psych0p0mps]

[Aradia is going for the sugar skulls at the same time and whoops handbump.] Oh! Sorry.

[persequor]

[ Arya pulls her hand back. ]

Excuse me.

[psych0p0mps]

[Buuut Aradia also pulls her hand back because whoops awkward. She gestures at the skulls palm-up, though.]

No no, go ahead! I already had a bunch while I was making them, haha.

[persequor]

[ Arya looks from Aradia to the skull. She picks it up. ] ...Thank you.

[psych0p0mps]

You're welcome. Have as many as you want. [She grabs one herself and takes a careful bite, cupping her other hand around it to catch the bits that crumble.] Mm. Have we met before? You were on the Lastlook expedition, right?

[persequor]

Yes. [ Why...? ]

[psych0p0mps]

I thought I recognized you! You had the wolf, wasn't it? [She dusts a bit of sugar off her hand, then extends it to shake.] I don't think we were ever really introduced. I'm Aradia Megido.

[persequor]

[ Arya stares at her hand uncomprehending. ]

Do you want something?

[psych0p0mps]

[Aradia glances down at her own hand, momentarily thrown off. Then she chuckles.]

No, no. I am just offering you the traditional Earth greeting called a handshake! You clasp each other's hand firmly as a gesture of good will.

[persequor]

[ nope hand to herself. she's getting damn tired that everything has to be by Earth's standards and customs. ]

I am not of Earth.

[psych0p0mps]

[Hm. She lets her hand fall back to her side.]

... Good point, neither am I. What do they do on your world?

[persequor]

With what?

[psych0p0mps]

You know, to greet each other. Or when you first meet someone. Things like that. [Shrug.]

[persequor]

Depends on their birth.
