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!

"Yeah, because you're the tallest animal in the savanna, right?"

[onthewillowsthere]

"If you're the tallest animal, why can't you reach?"

"It cause I allll the way up here on Magnu, but my arms is still little."

[summerdude]

"We haven't worked out the whole bendy neck thing yet."

[onthewillowsthere]

"Then you will be very good at not touching."

[biteybaby]

"I'm soooo good at not touching."

By now they're basically at the lab. Magnus sets the basket of kinder eggs by the door and stoops down so that he can clear the doorway without bonking Sunny on the head.

Galahad watches them carefully to make sure there's no danger of that happening, then leads the giraffe over to the lab bench.

"I'll show you the pictures in the guide first, and then I will show you the habitats, and you must find the beetles in their homes."

Sunny gasps, excited. “Like a game!” He is so good at games, so it makes sense he would make a Look At Bugs game.

"Exactly like a game," Magnus says. He stays hunched over so that Sunny can see better.

Galahad takes out a beautiful atlas-sized Guide to Beetles, which, he's observed, adds pages glossy full-color illustrations to match his and Susan's findings, and opens it to a full-page spread on a burnished beetle with black streaks. "Subvittate ladybeetle, Myzia subvittata."

[biteybaby]

"That's a lady bug!"

[summerdude]

"You know you can make wishes on those guys, right?"

He narrows his eyes at Magnus. "That sounds unscientific."
