deernet | See you at the Black Parade!

[Video opens up and its the Disaster house...isn't it? Or maybe its Halloween somehow making its way into the house. There are skeletons and zombie facsimiles all over the front of the house, ravens and colors of orange and black all over the top portion. Someone is very much using their ability to fly to make sure the house looks as complete as possible.

The backyard has a faux cemetery because of course it does, and currently putting up tombstones is one Luz Noceda, in a cat skull mask, and she waves to all of you].

Hey! Sooo...in light of getting back into my regular sleeping pattern, I learned that we have something like a certain festive holiday back home, except its all about hiding your face! There's folklore that reminds me a little of Samhain with the whole keeping away bad spirits, so I figure: why not get into the spirit, and meld that sentiment with Halloween from back home?

So over at the house I'll be doing my best to keep things creepy: eyeballs, fake blood, creepy music, the whole deal. Kinda helps with the ambiance, and so far? Nothing really bad has happened yet!

Granted, gotta keep it that way too! Part of this is for the fun, part is for, well, you never know? In case spooks around here aren't just made up.

[Look, she had a whole ordeal on a boat with dead bodies. Letting her naivete fool her is just dumb at this point].

Hope I see you guys getting into the spirit too! Do you all have a version of Halloween where you come from?

hah, i try

that's legit, a ghost is gonna ghost

maybe we should look into more magic and stuff
Varian's got the booby traps down, but it can't hurt

Yeah, weird stuff. I pretty much just let them be them unless they're, you know, violent.

[Not that she'd met a violent ghost until prom].

I'm casting a protective shield around the house. Would it be OK if you and Varian and Luca were there when I did it?

sure, of course
do you need us to help with it, or for moral support?

[Either way they'll all be there, there's no doubt in his mind.]

Both, actually. But mostly moral support.

[She loved her Disaster house family].

cool, that's no problem
we'll all be there

[They're a good, weird little family.]

Thanks! You guys are the best!

With any luck this will definitely keep any chaotic elements out of the house!

Hey, we're always gonna be here for moral support and other junk, whenever you need it.

Hah, and if any chaotic elements sneak by we'll sock 'em in the face and make 'em leave.

You guys are the best! And don't forget I'll support you too, ok?

Darn right! We'll be all "Hey you, you can't stay incorporeal! You stay tangible and then we can kick your butt!"

'Course! We'd be a terrible family if we didn't all support each other when we needed it.

Hah hah, yeah! And if they didn't we'd find some way to make 'em tangible, solely for the butt kicking.

Right, I'm with you. Just gotta make sure that we know where we all are when stuff really starts to hit the fan.

[Which meant that she was going to try and stay vigilant all month if she could help it].

Yeah! Yeah, maybe I can comb through some grimoires and see what I can find!

Right. None of us can let our guard down right now.

[At least not until October is over.]

Sure, cool. I can try talking to Trenchies, see if there's anything unique about ghosts around here we should know about.

Oh, that's why we're fortifying this place pretty well! If there's something that can come out of the black to get us, at least we'll be ready!

[She hoped].

Good plan! Maybe there's some way I can even talk to ghosts, see if I can get some answers from them.

Oh yeah. I think between all of us, anyone who tries to mess with the house is gonna have a bad time.

We could always try that good cop bad cop thing with them, too. I can stab ghosts. [He's helping!!]

We are about one step away from going all "Home Alone" style on guys like that!

[She was pretty sure Fern's room alone discouraged easy entry into the house].

No kidding? All the time?! That's pretty cool! You're a regular Ghost Buster, literally!

[Sadly, the reference is flying straight over Fern's head.]

Home Alone style? What's like?

[Both references, in fact.]

Dunno about busting things. Maybe a ghost stabber?

Oh, setting traps, keeping safe, injuring unexpected thieves. Its the whole plot of Home Alone without the sentiment?

Right. Um. We'll just beat up the ghosts as best as we can!

[Ghostbusters. That would take too much to explain].

Plot? S'this a book or something?

Cool!

[Probably for the best.]

Movie actually! It's a good one too-if you ignore all the sequels.

[Sorry, but the second one doesn't get a break even if Tim Curry is a delight].

We really should find a way to watch movies here. For now, I guess we stick to Jennifer;s club.

Ohhhh! Sounds like a good movie!

[Fern is basic and any movie involving excessive pranking sounds like a good one.]

Maybe we could see if she could show it, sometime?

It's fun! Better to watch in the month if December though.

I'll ask Jennifer if she'll do another holiday showing!

December? Man that's like forever away. But okay, a holiday movie would be cool.

Trust me, it'll make more sense, as far as getting into the season. Holiday movies are always better around the time they take place!

See you at the Black Parade!
