Week 1, Tuesday

[becomemod]

[Cobalt Ox is standing outside the Halloween store, looking at the coming soon sign.]

Halloween, huh...

[But then they see Ace, so.]

It's not open quite yet.

[selfimmolation]

Yeah, I know. Nico was kind of bummed out about it. [ looks over at ox ] So I guess you've got Halloween where you're from too?

[becomemod]

Sort of? It exists in my world, but we don't really celebrate it where I'm from. Still, it looks interesting.

[selfimmolation]

We've got a lot of holidays at home I've never celebrated, so that's fair. One about scaring each other sounds kind of fun, though.

[becomemod]

We'll see how it is when the store opens. I dunno how scary it'll be, but there should be candy.

[selfimmolation]

I can settle for candy. I don't know how scary stuff from a store could really be anyway.

[becomemod]

I heard that usually for Halloween there's a lot of skeletons.

[selfimmolation]

Woah, they sell skeletons at the store?

[ not real ones, ace. ]

[becomemod]

Yeah, I think so? It's a Halloween thing.

[They do not clarify.\

[selfimmolation]

Where are they getting them...

[becomemod]

They're...making them, I guess?

[selfimmolation]

The skeletons?

[becomemod]

Yeah. They're a big enough company, it should be easy enough for them.

[Imagine saying they're plastic skeletons.]

[selfimmolation]

And people are buying them???

[becomemod]

I guess? It's not my holiday I don't know. You'll have to see when the store opens.

[selfimmolation]

... That's messed up...

[becomemod]

[Ox knows nothing about Halloween so they're like ???]

Well...you could say something, when the store opens?

[selfimmolation]

You really don't think it's weird they're just selling real skeletons???

[becomemod]

What's this about real skeletons?! It's Halloween decorations, they're fake!

[selfimmolation]

Oh. That makes more sense.

[becomemod]

Of course it makes more sense! What is wrong with you?!

[selfimmolation]

People sell animal bones all the time!

[becomemod]

That's different from human skeletons!

[selfimmolation]

Well, yeah, that's why I thought it was weird when you said they made their own...

[becomemod]

Well now I have to take you there when it opens to show you it's plastic skeletons.
