Who: Everyone on the waystation!
Broadcast: n/a
Action: open to everyone to tag into
When: October 11, 2014

[It sure is a lovely day actually pretty much indeterminate time period out here in the vast darkness of space, isn't it? I bet everyone's enjoying themselves, getting a chance to get off their dinky little ship and stretch their legs. Even on this shitty, empty little waystation.

Where are you, droot flooters? What are you up to? Stay out of trouble, now.]

[ooc: hi everyone! I thought I'd give this a try and see how the game liked it. What we have here is a mass mingle post. Rather than everyone making a bunch of different posts about landing on the station, everyone is invited to post a parent comment with their character out and about, doing something. Everyone else is invited to look at who's posted, tag them, post their own parent comments, thread jack, tag around and generally have a grand old time! It should hopefully be a nice low-pressure way to do some action tagging with each other.

Please tag in if you feel so inclined! Don't be shy to tag around!]

[ there's a quiet chuckle. ]

Don't call me that after Halloween.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he... wait hang on, he was going to leave, but he turns back to... squint at him.]

What?

[limitstorm]

Don't call me a kid after Halloween. [ simply repeats it. ]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Okay...

[he looks like he's considering that, before...]

...What's Halloween?

[limitstorm]

[ riku looks baffled for a minute, and then it fades. well, people from other worlds might not have halloween... ]

All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween. It's a night where you're supposed to dress up in scary costumes, and go from house to house trick-or-treating. October 31st.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he follows this as well as someone with absolutely no knowledge of Halloween could follow it. "all hallow's eve"? the fuck does that mean? "trick-or-treating"? fucking what? whaaat? but after a moment, he recognizes at least one thing, and a light finally clicks on...]

Oh, it's from that calendar. Okay. So why shouldn't I call you a kid after that day, huh?

[limitstorm]

[ god damn it don't they have trick or treating in other worlds for like. easter. or something. how can you be so deprived of candy, robin

of course, he asks the million dollar question, and riku settles before closing his eyes and going back to meditation.

ha ha ha he's not telling you that shhh ]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Hey...!

[hey! hey! don't play his own game back at him... it's so frustrating, it really does take some measure of self control not to reach out and smack the back of his head for being a brat.

but he doesn't. he'll just have to keep calling him a kid until he has to defend himself. consider your fate sealed, Riku.]

Fine.

[HE WILL LEAVE, GOD.]

[limitstorm]

[ riku ignores that 'hey!' pointed at him, and then smirks widely, opening one eye to watch robin stomp off.

checkmate. ]
