Summary: The Summerween Trickster has made his decree - Trick or treat...or die! This is a mingle log for Trick-or-Treating!
The Story:



On the morning of the 24th, everyone will find that the mansion was inexplicably decorated for Halloween...sort of. The idea behind the decorations is mostly the same, except that every jack-o-lantern is made out of a watermelon instead of a pumpkin. No, this is SUMMERWEEN.

For the first day it will be harmless enough, just a change in décor and a little spooky summer fun. However, by the second day there will be sightings of the Summerween Trickster, a creepy fellow made entirely out of unpopular loser candy, and he is not happy. In the entrance hall, there will be a giant jack-o-melon container with a counter and a count-down clock ticking away to the end of the event.

Your job, Wonderland, is to trick-or-treat for your lives. You have until the end of the event to deliver one million pieces of candy to the jack-o-melon before the end of the event, to appease the Summerween Trickster.

What was that? You'll just sit this out and wait for the event to end? I wouldn't do that if I were you. You see, the Summerween Trickster could be lurking around any corner. If he catches someone not fully embracing the spirit of Summerween (refusing to trick or treat, not wearing a costume, etc), they will not survive the experience. The Trickster will kill them and swallow them whole, making them part of his horrible loser candy body.

More details about trick or treating can be found here. This is a mingle post for trick-or-treating, if you'd rather use this than make a post! [Brackets] or prose are both welcome.

Yeah!

[She plops down in front of the closet and announces:] Cookie Cat! [and opens the door. Out pops an impressively cat-shaped chocolate chip cookie. Amethyst stares at it and groans, then takes a bite out of it because it's still a cookie.

She tries again.] Cookie Cat ice cream!

[This time a little treat in thick, pink plastic wrapping with the Cookie Cat logo on it comes out. Score. She hands the whole thing to Frisk.]

Try it out!

[She's gonna finish off this chocolate chip cookie in the meantime. She's shapeshifted a mouth onto her Cookie Cat form for this purpose, but she probably looks awkward stuffing her paw up her space helmet. Still, she watches them for their reaction.]

[determinedest]

[No need to quietly LOAD, then, they suppose. Frisk accepts the package of ice cream and tears it open curiously.

It is good. One bite into it and Frisk's eyes pop wide open. Wow. It's been a while since they've tasted anything this sweet.]

That's really good!

[brainmeme]

[Amethyst ungracefully stuffs the rest of her cookie into her mouth.]

Yeah! Now that you know, you can have it all the time! Long as the closets actually cooperate and give it to you.

It was Steven's favorite ice cream. But they got discontinued a couple years ago. But here, that doesn't matter!

[determinedest]

Neat! Do you think this counts as Summerween candy?

[Partly because they're wondering if the doors might hand more of them out and partly because if they are, Frisk wants to make sure they keep them for themselves.]

[brainmeme]

[Guess who doesn't know enough about Halloween or Summerween to tell if a house would hand out ice cream? This gem.]

Uhh. I guess so! Ice cream's pretty much candy, right?

[determinedest]

I mean, it's sweet, so it should count!

[They finish the ice cream off. Boy, that is good.]

Your costume looks just like the wrapper and everything, too!

[brainmeme]

Thanks! [She poses proudly with her paws on her hips.] Except for the color. That's the only thing I can't help when I shapeshift.

[determinedest]

Well, you're a grape-flavored one, or something! It looks good!

[brainmeme]

Oh man, I wish Cookie Cats were still being made, I'd definitely pitch grape to whoever makes 'em. ...Does grape flavored ice cream exist?

[determinedest]

[Their nose wrinkles slightly.]

Probably. Spaghetti ice cream exists, so if that does, then I guess anything's possible.

[brainmeme]

Spaghetti ice cream!? Where has this been hiding all my life!?

[PLEASE POINT HER DIRECTLY TO SPAGHETTI ICE CREAM.]

[determinedest]

You'd have to ask Sans. The short skeleton? He's the one who told me about it.

[He could've been pulling their leg, but really, anything's possible.]

i had to look up spaghetti ice cream and now want some

[brainmeme]

Oh, I know Sans! I told him about popcorn! He's moved far beyond my level of foodliness... I'm so proud...

jesus

[determinedest]

It's his brother, Papyrus. He...really loves spaghetti. So I guess they decided to find something savory and sweet?

[brainmeme]

Spaghetti's great! Ice cream's great! Of course it'd be great to eat them both at once! I can't believe I've never even considered this. This is opening up a new world to me...

[determinedest]

[It sounds kinda gross to Frisk but...well, everyone's got different tastes.]

Well, Wonderland will probably get you some if you ask. I'm not sure if you just mash them together, or what.

[brainmeme]

[Everyone's got different tastes, and then there's Amethyst.]

Yeah! I could just ask the dining room! I could try all kinds of ice cream!

Hey, what's something you always wanted to try, but never could?

[determinedest]

Um. I dunno.

[They consider it for a moment. They got to try an awful lot of things they didn't they would ever want to try, and in some cases wished they never had - Temmie Flakes and Dog Salads come to mind.]

I guess...I've never had a banana split. Like the ones you see in the movies and things, with the fudge and stuff?

[brainmeme]

[Cookie Cat gains a dark look in his eyes. Amethyst is quiet for a moment.]

...Frisk. This is serious. This is different than never having a Cookie Cat. This is life or death. You need a banana split.

[determinedest]

I do?

[Wait, no. This is serious.]

I mean...yeah! Why not? I mean, maybe, maybe not now, because there's the whole Trickster thing, but...

[brainmeme]

...Okay. First thing after the event's over! You gotta get a banana split from the diner. A huge one, strawberry scoop, vanilla scoop, chocolate scoop. Pineapple sauce, strawberry sauce, and chocolate sauce. Whipped cream, chopped nuts, cherry. We're talking the classics. And you gotta tell me how it goes!

[determinedest]

[Oh geez, they should be writing this down.]

That's a...lot of ingredients.

[Maybe they'll need Chara to help them out with it. Frisk fumbles about with their costume until they come up with Ford's little notebook and start scribbling it all down - a habit they picked up after acquiring the Torn Notebook back home. It's come in handy, after all.

They start frantically writing it all down.]

Pineapple, strawberry, chocolate...chopped nuts...

[brainmeme]

I mean, there's a thousand different variations. But that's the original one! And all those ingredients come together to make the best sundae that was ever invented by... uh... some guy named Split, probably.

[determinedest]

Really?

[They seem to take that statement as a given fact.]

Thanks! I'll put this together once the event's over!

[brainmeme]

You better tell me what you think of it! Eating stuff you've never eaten before is kind of my jam.
