Party!!!, Purposefully Creepy Mansion, Wednesday Evening
It was Halloween, and after a long four-year break, it finally meant that there was a party at the mansion again. There were Jack O'Lanterns outside lighting the way to the house, and bat cut-outs and balloons in the shape of ghosts and skulls all around the house, and creepy looking candy on the snack table.
And a bloody goblin in the fridge. This time, it had a name tag identifying it as April, because Mike was a sentimental fool.
There were also way too many kind of jello shots. And too many versions of Monster Mash on the Spotify playlist for this party, but at least Mike had made a sign with instructions on how to find the playlist and add songs to it.

"Especially when they're living things," Zack said, shaking his head. "We have an entire coop of chickens that just gets more full every year when Easter happens. They're harder to adopt out than rabbits, and I feel weird about eating them if they used to be someone's pet."
For maybe a month each.

'Lazy' was also a concept that seemed more tied to this time period in her mind than it was to where she came from.

"I don't know," Zack sighed. "Maybe they don't have enough space. Or they weren't thinking when they got a cute baby chicken for a child who isn't responsible enough to take care of them yet."

Look, humans were pretty much garbage, sometimes.

"You know, I kind of do too," Zack admitted, glancing around for those with those luminous blue eyes of his. "And I'm not even much of a drinker."
It took a lot to make a SOLDIER drunk.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]
No reason.
"Must be some other weird part of the holiday."
Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]
She didn't have any trauma associated with them, so she could just enjoy the ability to squirt the shot into your mouth.
"But I think they may just be a random thing. Among a bunch of other random things. There's a lot here that I didn't see when I went to one of these parties last year."
Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]
He'd be baffled if anyone were to actually explain the origins of the holiday to him.
