The masquerade was [...] fanciful, but I have to admit that the celebration of All Hallows' Eve doesn't feel quite complete to me. I've always spent it making sweets and gathering with friends and family to tell scary stories.

[...]

Would anyone be interested in joining me for something like that? I can prepare the food. And perhaps we could include other traditions that people are missing.

No pressure, of course.

[Witherbloom]

If there's any interest and no one minds, I'd like to use the common room for this. But if there are concerns, I can make other arrangements. That's not a problem.

I'm not above sweets-based bribery if that will sway anyone's opinion, though.

[eldith]

You can count me in.

[whisperwell]

Then I will see you there. [...] Once I determine where there is.

Is there anything you typically do to celebrate?

[eldith]

Let me know.

Usually eating sweets around a bonfire? Which may or may not work depending on your location.

[whisperwell]

I [...] will see what I can do.

Witherbloom

[pepromancy]

My approval's pending on if you can scare me with these stories, actually

Witherbloom

[whisperwell]

I need a certain [...] ambience for this. I don't think I could just tell you one right now. If that's what you mean.

Witherbloom

[pepromancy]

You just make them up as you go?

Witherbloom

[whisperwell]

No. But it's a performance of sorts. I've never tried to write them down or tell them without the shadows there to assist and [...] get me into the proper headspace. If that makes sense.

Hopefully it won't just be me, anyway. I'm certain our peers have many tales of their own to share.

Witherbloom

[pepromancy]

I don't know if I'll be impressed by them, either. But I'll try.

Witherbloom

[whisperwell]

[...] Is that approval, then?

Witherbloom

[pepromancy]

It isn't disapproval.

Witherbloom

[whisperwell]

I'll take it.

[werevulpes]

I love a scary story.

[MALLOW]
Hi! It's Arlo's birthday today, do you think we could have a moment to wish him a Happy Birthday? He won't want attention on him the whole time or anything.

[wereyote]

Scary stories are fun. Even if I've had a very uneasy day so f

[whisperwell]

Agreed. Nothing like dramatic, distracting horrors.

[...] You'll both come, then?

[wereyote]

Sure, sounds like a good time. I mean, if you don't mind?

[whisperwell]

Not at all. I asked.

Iris

[whisperwell]

Of course. What did you have in mind?

Iris & Mallow

[werevulpes]

I have a birthday banner we could hang up. And balloons? If that works with your aesthetic vision for the night.

Iris & Mallow

[whisperwell]

I don't have anything too elaborate planned. But even if I did, I think stepping back from the aesthetic to make someone feel valued on their day is [...] more than reasonable.

That all sounds good to me.

Iris & Mallow

[werevulpes]

Thank you!!! You're so kind.
