Welcome to Gaia! ::

Riley had to take another look around at the festivities, as she hadn't expected it to be the kind of party that would be the best night of anyone's life. But Canon was young, and perhaps Amityville would have more to offer her as time went on.

She realized the ghoul was still talking, and turned back to listen, reaching up to touch her beak as it was complimented. She'd thought it was a ratty thing, but it was nice to know someone liked it. So she began to answer Canon's questions, one by one, patiently.

I did make this, it is supposed to be a plague doctor's mask. Have you met Malodore, my beloved? It is a plague doctor. She rose both of her arms, looking at how covered she really was. That was part of what drove her to trying the costume - she enjoyed the idea of being incognito.

Canon's costume, however, made her still in confusion. She'd thought the ghoul was dressed as blood. That would have been better. Very nice, although I'm not a fan of the subject matter. Are you fond of the humans?

"KILL ME." Robert's answer was succinct as ever. Besides, death would only send him back to his real body. His BIG, NORMAL, NOT STUPID BODY.

Sometimes he really hated being a hunter.

Scratch that, all the time.

"It's Halloween."

Huh. That accounted for all the festivities and the amount of Fear; he mentally chastised himself for not picking that up sooner. But the zomboil stiffened under her impromptu hug, knowing that he knew this Xiu (however long ago the memory felt) but unable to react properly. Not with so much stimuli around them; much like Alex, his brain was defending itself by simply drawing blanks where it could, saved energy that could have gone to certain processes of natural function and rerouting it to figuring out what he was to do now. by the time the baku had turned and left, Mort had half lifted his hand to wave; it quickly fell down when he realized there was no emotion behind it.

In this sea of confusion, he could only turn to the other zomboil and tilt his jack-o-lantern helmet up to let him see proper. He kept it ready to duck back down, though, as if protecting his face meant protecting himself - certainly the pumpkin's exterior muffled the noise a little, and every bit counted for his weary mind. "S'going on?" he muttered with a perplexed look, hoping Alex had clearer answers than he did. "We were gone?"

Dead? Was that what the card meant? He sure didn't remember walking into this festival . . . But he couldn't quite recollect when he had died either. Sure he had dissipated plenty, but that didn't feel the same.

Tilting her head to the side, she only watched curiously as Xiu bound off and threw her arms around two undead boils. From the looks of it, it seemed like she hadn't seen them for a very long time? Though... it looked like the two were quite confused with everything around them. Why was that?

When Xiu returned, she peered at her curiously.
"What happened? They look really confused."

It seemed the boils were in close enough vicinity, so she directed her question to them.

"Are you two... ok? Would you like something to eat?"
It didn't occur to her that undeads probably didn't need to eat. Whoops.

Canon's brow furrowed momentarily as she rolled the word Malodore around in her head to see if there were any matching faces. There weren't. Answer obtained, she immediately brightened again.

"No, I haven't!" she replied, now intensely curious about who this could be, this person Riley called Beloved. At least she had a bit of something to go on. If she saw another person with a beak, there was a good chance it would be this Plague Doctor, the Skark thought. Though, who knows? Perhaps fate would lead this Malodore to them the same way it had led Canon to Riley!

"Humans are fascinating! And tasty!" she replied to the last question, happily serious. "Did you know they can't hold their breath very long? My family swears by holding them underwater for a few minutes to get the maximum FEAR off them! Sometimes, they hold them under a little too long, though."

Yummy memories.

** For my first turn I can roll a 10-sided dice for seeds**

Ah, Halloween's night... Azmodel's favorite night of the year !!!

All those gifts spread around... ! Time to grab one !

The ghoul couldn't wait to grab one of those delicious pumpkin cupcakes... She was salivating just thinking about it. But the spooky fright fest buffet was crowded... She could see sport in her near future.

And she was succeeding in annoying him. Twitching and kind of jerking a little as she began to poke him over and over again, he stepped back and pulled his hands out of his pockets. In an instant his daggers were out as well.

"Jacking obnoxious Valkyrie," he muttered under his breath as he slashed down to try and smack away her bladed finger things. Hard. He had enough of this nonsense and it was taking a bit of control at the moment to keep himself from going straight for her throat.

"Now cease this at once," he hissed sharply.
