This is Halloween, This is Halloween

Who: Goro Akechi and you! (Featuring one closed prompt)
What: Pumpkin carving, poor sleeping habits, and a secret meeting...
When: Throughout October
Where: Lum 3's common room, various places on campus, and a movie theater in Soleil
Warnings: Closed thread will involve discussion of conspiracies involving the sort of people who would sell out the rest of humanity to save their own skins.

[Open – Lum 3]

[The Halloween season is upon us, and that can only mean one thing: it's time to carve up some Jack-o-lanterns! Akechi's set up carving equipment in the common room of his dormitory floor, along with a posterboard sign reading 'free pumpkins', helpfully decorated with Jack-o-lantern doodles, taped to a box of pumpkins of varying size, shape, and color. Signs elsewhere on campus advertise a pumpkin carving party, in case anyone outside the dormitory wants to participate.

...Just don't mind the weird pumpkin goblin floating around and offering advice like 'it should look more like me-hee, ho!' or 'I know where to go-ho for a spare butt if I ne-hee-d one!']


[Open – Around Campus]

[Outside of pumpkin carving, Akechi seems even more stressed and fatigued than usual. He normally drinks an unhealthy amount of coffee, but these days he's almost never without a thermos or a can of energy drink. That might explain why he's so jittery and jumpy, but...well, maybe the crash is why he keeps turning up passed out in his chair in just about any place a student might opt to sit down for a while. Usually he just has his head leaned against his chest or the nearest firm surface, but every now and then he winds up curled up on the floor...and not always out of the way. Try not to trip.]

[Closed – Text]

[At some point between pumpkin carving and passing out, Akechi manages to send a text to Lia.]

Halloween movies are starting to show in theaters. Maybe we should catch one?

Oh! Pumpkin carving!

[Yeah, another one for the "not a lot going on with the fourth floor" squad. Lia's entire demeanor seems to brighten when she notices what's actually going on and she eagerly makes her way over.]

I haven't actually gotten to do this in a while...

I definitely will. Plus, if I save the guts and seeds...

[She's gonna grin as she looks over the pumpkins, and it only widens as she hefts one up.]

I've gotta make some good jack-o-lanterns to make up for the lost time!

We'll see if I need it.

[She chuckles and winks before she sets the pumpkin down... then gets up to get a bowl and brings it back over. Now she can get started.]

[Lia happily gets to work with her pumpkin, emptying it out. The guts and the seeds are put in the bowl to save for cooking later...

She takes a moment to consider what to do with her pumpkin before letting out a soft "oh!"]


Jack, would you be so kind to model for me for this one?

[Because why NOT, really.]

Natural-hee!

[Oh god, it's spreading.]

Can't it just be a one-time thing?

[She sticks her tongue out and gets to work. Pyro Jack makes for a fun subject, at least.]
buddinghopes: (hmmm)

[personal profile] buddinghopes 2019-10-09 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[She hums as she continues working, most certainly a song from a certain movie these two went to see together in another thread. Apparently she is intent on making it a one-time thing.]

[personal profile] buddinghopes 2019-10-09 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[And that just gets a grin out of her when she notices.]

[Her grin softens to a small smile.]

Now's a good time as any to sing, you know.
