Video - Tis the Season

[transcutation]

[While everyone else is off freaking out about zombies and ghosts, at least one person seems to be enjoying the supernatural abundance. Granted, she's learned to not mess with the zombie boars and it's taken her a while to rid the area of the more malicious spirits, but otherwise she seems to be enjoying the company of a number of ghostly figures, some off minding their own business walking through walls, others waving cheerfully as she broadcasts, the shadows of the trees lit by candles while in clearer patches of sky the unnaturally close moon shines brightly.]

Well, I know that calendars and holidays probably mean nothing in another world, but by my calculations, it feels like we're finally getting into the right mood for the season. [She chuckles darkly... then spins about, letting her cape flare. She's dressed in orange and black - clearly she made sure to stock herself an ample wardrobe back on Aimintas. When she finishes spinning, she poses cutely with thumb and little finger out] But, but! Even if we're getting in the mood, we've still got a long ways to go before we can have a Happy Halloween! So Cagliostro needs help from all of you who aren't too busy being dead or dying!

[Pose change! She puts her hands together, fingers and thumbs circled in an oval shape that may or may not be considered pumpkin-shaped.]

Have any of you seen any pumpkins around here? The vegetable or flying kind!

[...she's going to be so bummed when things stop being spoopy in a few days]

[rootandbranch]

Haha, perfect! Just don't catch yourself any diseases, or whatever.

[transcutation]

Same goes to you - you're the one who's going to be handling them.

[rootandbranch]

No chance of that. Let me know as soon as you're ready.

[he'll wait for Cagliostro's word on that one.]

[transcutation]

Hmph, well. I'll have to find a good area for it and prepare - when the sun's out again.

And what, are you actually immune to that sort of thing, or just confident in your health?

[rootandbranch]

I've never been sick, and I can carry it on a stick if I have to. So I'm not sure which, but either way, I'm not worried.

[transcutation]

Unless you regularly dealt with rotting corpses and zombies, I'm not sure "never been sick" counts for much here.

[rootandbranch]

You should've seen our cave when we started cleaning it out.

[transcutation]

I wasn't aware dragons did house cleaning.

[rootandbranch]

Of course I do, if it's mine!

[transcutation]

How do dragons clean, anyway? Just incinerate everything?

[rootandbranch]

Noooo. We just scrub. Why does everyone think I do things with fire, anyway?

[he likes a good fire, but he certainly doesn't breathe it, like the questions he keeps getting seem to imply. where would fire breath even come from? a burning stomach?]

[transcutation]

Oh? At least where I come from, dragons are pretty famed for their breath attacks. [Fire being the most common, but there were dragons of every element]

[rootandbranch]

Not for me. I have venom, but there's nothing wrong with my breath.

[he's just as glad. breathing fire sounds extremely uncomfortable.]

[transcutation]

Whaaat, then how are you any different from a big, flying lizard?

[rootandbranch]

I dunno. How are you different from a drumstick that no one's taken off the bones yet?

[transcutation]

Are you saying Cagliostro's so cute you could just eat her up?

[rootandbranch]

Hahahahahaha! Sure, it could be that.

[Geir does quite like Cagliostro. she's fun!]

[transcutation]

But, but~ you'd definitely get a tummy ache, because Cagliostro's so sweet!

[rootandbranch]

I'm not going to eat you anyway, you dummy.

Hey, hey, tell me where to drop off the boar--! You'll have it by the end of the day.

[transcutation]

Eager, aren't you? I'll contact you again when I've cleared a space for it.

[Which she does, eventually. It's too bad all she can find out without magic is "well, they sure are stinky rotting zombie boars"]
