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!

"It's fun, I bet you'd have a lot of opinions about it."

[onthewillowsthere]

"I don't understand. Is it a joke?"

[biteybaby]

Sunny nods. “It’s funny cause it just pretend.”

[summerdude]

"Yeah. It's, like... a fantasy book for kids."

The joke continues to elude Galahad, who lacked any exposure to silliness in his own childhood, but he decides to ask Claudius or Magnus later. "The costume is because of how you say Claudius's name," he says instead, trying a less confusing tack.

"Cause hims name is Claudi." She doesn't know what Galad means by 'how she says it', because she says his name the way his name is said. Claudi. That's what his name is.

Baby ears, Magnus finger-spells, deep enough into his coat sleeve that Sunny won't be able to see it from her vantage point on his shoulders, but Galahad will be able to read it.

"I understand," solemnly. "I will tell him how you would like him to dress."

[biteybaby]

"Thank you Galad that very nice."

"Maybe sometime we can all go trick-or-treating together," suggests Magnus, who does have a full understanding of how boring and restrictive Galahad's childhood was. Operation Give Galahad A Second Childhood: ...beginning?
