Twelth Melody [Audio]

[melodicnocturne]

...You guys. Nobody told me that Mount Mortar would be the biggest pain ever in the history of all of time. Holy jeez!

['Sup guys, Dembro's been kind of failing miserably to get out of the cave for a week straight. To say he is so done with caves forever would not be an overstatement. Demyx sighs, and then pushes some buttons to look through network posts and then...]

...Tomorrow's October.

[Spoke with near shock.]

Tomorrow's October.

[With even more shock and awe.]

Halloween's coming up! Oh, man! Halloween is coming! Oh, man. I love Halloween!

[And here comes the childlike glee of a person from a world with a Halloween planet.]

Where I'm from, there's a place where it's Halloween all year round! I love Halloween Town so much! Creepy, cool creatures going around all year long planning tricks and mischief for that one day of the year! I love that!

[He trails off a bit, then giggles sheepishly.]

So, anybody got plans for Halloween this year? There's only so much time left before the big night!

[Because forget the fact that he was furious over caves, you guys. It's October.]

Did you see the Chimchars?

[Because Roxas has priorities. And flaming monkeys are among them]

[Audio]

[melodicnocturne]

Flaming Monkeys. I thought I was looking at Heartless from Deep Jungle! It was crazy!

...actually, are they any good? I might want to go back eventually and get one...

[When he is not done with caves forever, that is.]

[Audio]

[seasaltkeys]

I don't know yet. I caught one, but I haven't really had a chance to train her.

I just thought they were cool. And fire types are usually pretty strong.

[Audio]

[melodicnocturne]

I have a Growlithe that I got on the way from Goldenrod, he's pretty awesome. Fire types do seem to be really strong, but apparently they've got some tricky weaknesses.

Actually, since I'm getting close to Ecruteak I was planning on giving Morty a go. Have you taken him on?

[heartdive]

Aww man. How did I forget THAT was coming up?

[Video]

[melodicnocturne]

[Whoa, hey. It's Sora of all people. This gets a video broadcast. Demyx waves to Sora from where he's camped out for the evening, exhausted and done with caves for all of eternity.]

You went to Halloween Town, didn't you? Did ya meet Jack? I wish I could have gone there often, it's such an awesome place!

[Video]

[heartdive]

[ you know how it is being Sora. here there and everywhere.

almost literally.

but have a wave back ]

Well yeah I met him. Jack's a really good friend. But I'm not sure if the Jack here is the same one. Joshua sure isn't...

[Video]

[melodicnocturne]

[Hold up.

Stop the presses.

Hear them screeching to a halt, in fact.]

Jack Skellington is here? Here. Like...In this world?

[Clearly this is the single most important revelation in the whole of existence, Sora. You have no idea what you have done.]

[video]

[machinamonkey]

What's Halloween?

[video]

[melodicnocturne]

Rikku it is the best thing ever!

[If his tone is not the single clearest indication of his joy about the whole ordeal, his shortly following ramblings will certainly be.]

Everyone dresses up in costumes and goes about being super awesome monsters and ghosts and vampires and all sorts of awesome creatures; and there's pranks and tricks and parties and candy being given out to kids in costumes and people go door to door and stuff to show off costumes and get costumes and treats, Rikku it the best thing ever. The costumes and the pranks alone make it worth celebrating!

[The history of it? Not even as important as the rest of it, apparently.]

There's this one guy, his name's Jack Skellington. He's the King of Halloween! And he's here in this world! I absolutely have got to meet him!

[video]

[machinamonkey]

Candy and pranks? Sign me up!

[Priorities]

Especially free candy!

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

...isn't Halloween at the end of the month...?

[The vampire is not interested...]

[Video]

[melodicnocturne]

Yeah, but that means there's only so much time before Halloween!

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

[...like a month...?]

How much planning do you have to do...?

[Video]

[melodicnocturne]

A lot! Think about how much planning would have to go into putting a party and costumes together! Even if it's just a few friends, there's a lot to do for a shindig like a Halloween party.

[Video]

[beforethedarkness]

[God Sora, he can hear you all the way over here Sasuke turns on the pokegear to respond only after he's made certain that he won't be overheard. Mooooooostly because what he's about to ask is kind of embarrassing...]

What's the big deal about Halloween?

[... Not that it stops him from being an ass about asking.]

[Video]

[melodicnocturne]

[Whoa, suddenly new guy that looks a bit..frumpy wow. Demyx blinks in confusion for a few moments, then takes a deep breath.]

So, at the the end of October there's this big celebration with costumes and people going about playing tricks and candy being given out and it's kind of a really big deal because people have a lot of fun going around playing tricks and getting candy and where Sora and I come from there's this place called Halloween Town where it's like literally Halloween all year and it's a total ball to be there because the party never stops and...

[BREATHE DEMYX, BREATHE. Excuse him while he gasps a bit, what is sense? How does he not goof?]

It's...it's a big deal because lots of people get together for one night and have fun, and the costumes are a big part of it. You get to be anything or anyone for one night and forget about life just to have fun and play tricks. That's what.

[Forgetting the parts about the history of it all and that it's called 'trick or treat' for a reason, clearly these are the things Demyx would value most about the holiday. Really, what doesn't that say about him?]

[Video]

[beforethedarkness]

[Well excuse him for not wearing a million belts and zippers.]

It sounds pointless. [WHOOPS WET BLANKET TIME.]

[Video] 1/I genuinely have no idea what have you done

[melodicnocturne]

Pointless?

video

[itsudemoissho]

I'm not sure if I'm the Halloween type, but it would be nice doing something different from time to time. [Though Halloween all year would be ... too much.]

video

[melodicnocturne]

It's my favorite holiday, especially because of all the tricks.

[...yeah. At least he's not malevolent about it. His tone is more amused than ominous.]

And the costumes! And all the candy! It's great...

[Dreamy sigh.]

video

[itsudemoissho]

I guess you like the whole "Trick and Treat" thing then. I wonder if they do that in this place too.

Video

[strawberryredgrave]

Halloween's not too bad; lots of parties that night and I'm definitely a party man. Gonna hit up whichever party's the biggest.

Video

[melodicnocturne]

Dante! Heya!

[Demyx is grinning like an idiot right now, excuse that child-like expression. Favorite holiday of all time is coming up, second only to April Fools.]

Halloween is this huge thing in one place back where I'm from. There's a whole world that seriously is just one big Halloween celebration all year round. It's even called 'Halloween Town', and the people there are all creatures and monsters of every sort! In fact, the King of Halloween himself is supposedly here in this world with us. Jack Skellington! No better a skelet- wait, he'd be a human here like all of us.

[...Man, right back to how surreal every single aspect of this world is. Give him a minute, he's going to sit there and be brainbroke for a moment. Rebooting Demyx.exe.]

Man! No better a man to ask about Halloween parties than him!

Video

[strawberryredgrave]

'Sup, man.

King of Halloween, huh? Sounds pretty cool. Human or not, if he knows his stuff, then he knows his stuff. It's not about what you have, but how you use it, you know?
