Zombies, right? From the scorch marks and the blood stains everywhere, it seems more likely than ghosts — but maybe spirits can bleed if you do them enough harm. I'm no expert on this sort of thing.

Though I can't say it's a "welcome back" I prefer, I can't say it's a complete surprise, either. Has the danger passed? Do you know? Or, should I expect some living corpses to leap out from the air vents and shower stalls?

Thanks in advance.



[ooc tl;dr: girl went on a mission specifically to avoid halloween around transports, returns fifteen minutes late with starbucks. literally, where the coffee's concerned. ]

FINE. TEXT.

[ Your witty wordplay is lost on him, Ruka. For now.

Also his texting takes a bit of time. ]

Even if you DONT volunteer theres no accounting for bad luck. But everybody seems pretty confidant that we're out of the woods so I am inclined to want to belive it.

god you don't have to match her dumb format

[heartsink]

Bad luck is definitely worth watching out for, but if nobody's shouting about danger, I suppose it can't be as bad as it was.

he can type... he's educated...

[mallarkey]

Its at the very least 70% or 80% more corpse free so that is an improvment. I've even been out of my room, that number has experience supporting it. The experience so far being 0 but a wary 0.

sure...

[heartsink]

From the way you say it, you sound like one of the recent arrivals. Is that right?

look 7th grade counts

[mallarkey]

Newish. Give or take a few days. Where were you?

This is a real person, right? Not one of those smart computers that types at you?

sure it does....

[heartsink]

Skipping the Halloween party.

But I promise, I am a person. 100% human, even.

yes he's ~autodidactic~

[mallarkey]

Oh, the whole 100% even. That's reassurring. The typing's just incidental then, not like a cyborg situation.

lucky

[heartsink]

It's a preference, that's all.

you know it

[mallarkey]

I shouldn't be surprised. Everybody loves their texting.

So if you were gone, did you know what was going to happen?

[heartsink]

I didn't know anything like *this* was going to happen. I don't even like normal Halloween, that's all.

[ she totally knew. ]

[mallarkey]

Why not? There's usually candy.

[ It seems less nosy when you ask in really stupid ways. ]

Pretty lucky of you.

[heartsink]

I suppose I am, sometimes.

I'm not a fan of the masks people wear for that time of year. Besides, the candy's never any good, anyway.

[mallarkey]

I'll have to disagree with you there. The worst part about this mess is we didn't even get stuck somewhere they'd sell you candy corn.

Do you scare easily?

[heartsink]

I used to, when I was much younger.

Not anymore.

[mallarkey]

Then what's wrong with masks?

Usually an improvment to the faces.

[heartsink]

Hah.

[mallarkey]

You think I'm kidding?

[heartsink]

Yes and no.

[mallarkey]

[ ... Strangely accurate, that analysis. ]

I did say usually.

Not my face, for instance.

[heartsink]

[ she does that
sorry man ]

Oh? What's so special about yours?

[mallarkey]

Seems like a waste to hide it.

Unless of course the mask is esspecially cool.

[heartsink]

I've never seen one I've liked.

Mask, I mean.

[mallarkey]

What is it youd look for in a mask? A good one.

[heartsink]

Something with character. Flair. Something unique. Something that, you'd spend more time looking at, than trying to see what's beneath it.

After all, you can hide your face with a pillowcase, but there's no artistry to a plain, empty bag.

[mallarkey]

I dont think artistrys ever been the point. Halloweens just a day for hiding.
