o22 ★ THIS IS HALLO-WHAT?

[electrowhipit]

I've been meaning to ask this for a while now, but I guess the town had other ideas. I don't think we're... what's the phrase? Oh! I don't think we're quite out of the woods yet, but I figured I'd take advantage of the calm.

Anyway, what exactly is Halloween? I'm guessing that's why everything is suddenly decorated, but I can't even begin to guess what's supposed to be going on.

I think this is the last time I have to ask that, though. I'll have been here a year pretty soon, so I've hit all of the human holidays this place feels the need to torture us with.

... Also I guess I'm supposed to talk to a guy named Conrad?

Halloween is a holiday. You wear costumes and children are given candy.


What did you need to talk to Conrad about?

[electrowhipit]

That's... strange. Why?

Oh, uh. I'm not really sure myself. Sideswipe just told me he had something for me.

[tuna-surprise.livejournal.com]

For fun mostly. I mean, there used to be all kind of spiritual and superstitious connotations, but now we've pretty much boiled it all down to costumes and candy.

Oh.... Well, when I see him next, I'll let him know you're looking for him.

[electrowhipit]

I still say it's strange.

Yeah? Thanks!

... Oh. My name's Jolt.

... An entire year?

[electrowhipit]

Just about.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

I... suppose that makes two of us.

[electrowhipit]

Yeah, I suppose it does. Time flies, huh?

[wimpyvampire.livejournal.com]

This is Conrad speaking.

[electrowhipit]

Oh, hi! I uh... I'm Jolt. Sideswipe told me you had something for me?

[wimpyvampire.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, Jolt!

Yes I have something for you. If you can give me your address, I'll be happy to drop it off.

[electrowhipit]

Uh. Okay. Am I allowed to ask what it is? Or for that matter... why you have something for me?

[Hi thar, have an over-excited red head over the phone.]

It's a holiday where people dress up and kids get candy and there's parties and...and...I think that's about it! [This is what happens when she gets excited orz.]small>

[electrowhipit]

Someone's excited.

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

[Sheepish laughing, but she still sounds pretty damn excited. And this is before she gets her hands on any candy.] Mm-hm, Halloween sounds like a lot of fun!

[electrowhipit]

Are you gonna dress up?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Halloween is awesome! You dress up and there's candy!

[electrowhipit]

[ someone doesn't look so happy right now- he just got off the phone with Sideswipe. ]

... Hey, Harley?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

...

[Oh um]

Whatever it is I didn't do it!

[electrowhipit]

No, no, you're fine. I just... Sideswipe and I just had a fight.

[istheatmosphere.livejournal.com]

I believe it has something to do with candy and costumes. But most of my studies of Earth focused on Japan, and I don't recall the details of this particular holiday.

[electrowhipit]

That's about what I've gathered, but thanks for the input!

[doc-furcoat.livejournal.com]

Halloween is a day when human women have a liable excuse fer dressin' up like a gaggle a whores an' get t'do whatever they want. Because who's gonna tell a buxom beauty t'stop dancin' on that table when her tits are hangin' out an' her panties are showin'?

No one.

[Someone loves Slutoween.]

[electrowhipit]

[ Worth, your words are strange to the derpy robot ]

Uh. What?

[doc-furcoat.livejournal.com]

People dress up and run 'round gettin' free candy.

[Simple version.]
