Trick Or Treat... But DON'T Smell Sunny's Feet!!!! [open]

[summerdude]

It's Dark now, and Magnus has been preparing. He doesn't want Sunny to get bored or to feel the pervasive lack of the month, and so he's been squirreling away the necessary items for fun. It's not a surprise activity — Sunny has been on board since the very beginning, helping pick out exactly what they need to make it truly exceptional — but it does have a very intensive prep.

Finally, about a week into the month, they reach a point of cabin fever where the time seems right. It's not so intense that they're truly cranky, but they're definitely both in need of some diversion. Apu's cold is waning, and Far's isn't very advanced, and so Sunny allows that she can take a break from playing nurse (a word which here means verrrry carefully but verrrry insistently bringing them both cup after cup of water) to play Halloween instead.

And so, equipped with a closet full of costumes and an enormous basket, they start their rotation of Every Single Door In The Mansion (And All Other Non-Mansion Buildings Where People Live). Magnus knocks loudly, Sunny at his side, poised to say the magic words.

Halloween! In... May. When tagging in, please just get your character to the point of opening the door: we're going to describe Magnunny's costumes in our first tags!

Magnus leans down to Dhakdi and whispers a few more sentences in Dog, reiterating that chocolate isn't safe but that he should definitely find a way to get Asmodean to realize that he needs to share what toy he got inside.

[involuntaryturncoat]

Dhakdi listens to Magnus and crouches to poke his toy with his nose before jumping back on Asmodean's shins, staring up at him expectantly. He repeats this back and forth a couple of times as Asmodean stares, bemused. "What?"

[biteybaby]

"Daki have a toy and you have a toy! What toy you have, Smodean?"

[summerdude]

"Ar ar!"

[involuntaryturncoat]

"Let me find out." He unwraps the egg and looks at the chocolate inside. "I presume it's further in." Cracking open the chocolate, he finds the capsule and pops it open.

[biteybaby]

"What is that?" Asmodean seems to have received shapes. "Oh no, I think you got a broked toy."

[summerdude]

"Ar ar!" Magnus says, and then leans in close to Sunny and whispers, "It's for drawing pictures."

[involuntaryturncoat]

"Broken or not, I'll keep it in my desk."

Dhakdi, satisfied that Lap has received his present, starts happily playing with his own obviously not broken toy.

[biteybaby]

"How does shapes make you draw pictures?" Sunny asks, confused.

[summerdude]

"Ar ar," Magnus explains to Dhakdi, hoping that the dog will be able to demonstrate to Sunny and Asmodean exactly how it works.

[involuntaryturncoat]

Dhakdi, his toy still in his mouth, starts spinning in circles. Asmodean blinks down at him.

[biteybaby]

"Daki dancing!"

[summerdude]

"Ar ar," Magnus clarifies, making a circle with his body around Dhakdi to bring the message home.

[involuntaryturncoat]

He watches the two of them thoughtfully, at least until Dhakdi stops and licks Magnus's face, and then he looks back at the shapes.

"I think you might use them to guide a pen or pencil to make patterns."

[biteybaby]

"Ohhh, tracing." That makes sense. You can trace the shapes and then you drew a shape!

[summerdude]

"Ar ar!" Magnus nods.

[involuntaryturncoat]

He nods. "I see. Thank you both. For both the trick and the treat."

[biteybaby]

"You welcome Smodean! Hey, did you knowed that I'm wearing a you costume?"

[summerdude]

"Ar ar!" Magnus says, which means I'm Dhakdi!

[involuntaryturncoat]

"Ah, so you are. You did look familiar for some reason, and that explains it quite handily."

Dhakdi, however, yaps back at Magnus. No, that's me!!!!

[biteybaby]

"Uh huh us gots the same hairs and my outfit's really fancy! I bet maybe nobody can tell us apart."

[summerdude]

"Ar ar," Magnus explains to Dhakdi, a phrase which here means 'I'm only pretending to look like you.'

[involuntaryturncoat]

Dhakdi gets it now! He bounces happily and licks Magnus's face in acknowledgment before returning to playing with his toy.

"Anyone seeing you would surely think it was me," Asmodean confirms to Sunny.

[biteybaby]

"Maybe later us can go prank people together."

[summerdude]

Magnus settles on the floor to give Dhakdi a good scratching. It's, like, dog-grooming-dog behavior or whatever.
