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.

[She nods once, slowly, still taking everything in, before she leans in the door frame and points to the remains of her door.]

And you will fix it?

Not if it's just gonna throw more shit at people.

[Okay, that is about 25% trying to seem tough, and 75% of an attempt at covering that she's not sure if she knows how to put a door back on. She knows a hell of a repairman in Wonderland, but calling him up to fix her mistakes doesn't seem right.

But she knows she screwed up, so she's got to fix it because that's what you do. You actually fix problems, not just ignore them and pretend they don't exist like some people in her family like to think.]

Later though. Like when that thing's not wandering around trying to eat people, sure. I'm not trying to get out of it, I'm just not sure how long it'll take me to fix it. And if I get killed, you're not getting your door put back on.

[Likewise, Kanji has no idea how to begin putting a door back on its hinges. The mansion usually fixes itself, doesn't it? But he guesses it probably doesn't matter-- they shouldn't have let things get out of hand.]

Uh, I dunno if it matters, the mansion usually patches itself up, I think, but...

[He blushes hotly beneath his Frankenstein makeup, rubbing at the back of his neck.]

I'm-- real sorry.

[She does not seem impressed by the fact that they were trying to pass their work off on the mansion, but she also recognizes the apology when she sees one.]

If you get killed, you'd be back in a few days.

[Freya, that's rude, but she's too drunk to hide her cavalier relationship with death at the moment.]

The mansion doesn't want to waste it's resources. But apology accepted. I think.

[All right the situation's handled and everything's mostly good and...

Wait, no, sorry, no Jolyne's annoyed by that remark. Actually, completely pissed off, but she's doing her best to hide it...which probably isn't very good. Look, she can see that Freya's probably a little tipsy, but that's a sore subject with her.]

Just because you'd come back from it doesn't mean it's something I want to go through. Or that anyone should have to go through. Especially not over a fucking door that's just going to...fix itself?

[She kind of lost steam there and is just looking back at Kanji because she didn't know that one.]

Wait, wait a damn second--

[Because yes, he's also taking that comment the same way Jolyne had, and he has enough steam for the both of them.]

You're tellin' me you'd be willing to kill us over this damn thing?

What?

[No. That wasn't what she meant? (Was that what she meant?)]

No. If I was going to kill you, I would have already killed you.

[That being said.]

I was just saying that logistically speaking, dying would not prevent you from fixing my door, even if the door didn't fix itself. And you broke down my door. If you break something, you should fix it.

I don't think she's going to kill us, I think she meant that-

[She was about to mention the thing, but now Jolyne's just sort of like what for a moment because don't just throw things out like that Freya, wow.]

Well yeah, she's got a point. Usually, this is the part where we'd be being attacked already. I don't know if you'd be able to finish the job, but if you were going to do it, you would've started already.

[She's been down this road way too many times to not know how it goes.]

All right, all right. Let's settle down though. Nobody's killing anyone anyway. Let's try and figure something out that doesn't get anyone killed, okay?

[She's going to try and act like the mature adult here. Which she's not so uh...god help everyone here, basically.]

So if Wonderland doesn't fix it, we'll fix it.

[..and she'll maybe see if she can rope her uncle into it because he's probably more help than either of them are.]

And if it does fix it, we fucked up, so we owe you one. Or at the least if he doesn't want to, I'll owe you two. It's my fault, I lost my temper first. Sound fair?

[Kanji looks uneasily between the both of them, because misunderstanding or not, there's been a whole lot of talk of death here and he is way not comfortable with that. When Jolyne offers to make amends, though, he sputters before jumping in, not wanting to be left behind.]

I mean-- I ain't gonna pretend I didn't screw up. We'll fix it if Wonderland doesn't, but if it does-- yeah. Yeah!

[Look, he's trying to psych himself up. It's mostly working.]

I'll owe you one, too. Ain't just her fault. I got all worked up and kinda-- forgot myself.

Good.

[That's all she wanted. And hope you guys are prepared to come through on those favors because she's totally going to remember this.]

Now, if you don't mind, I returned to my room intending to sleep off my buzz. Is there anything else?

I think we're good. Go sleep it off. Stuff like that can be a pain in the ass if you don't.

[Hey, she's not the type to say something and not do it. Unless it's murdering somebody or something, then yeah, sorry, she'll go back on her word.]

Hey, Kanji, let's go try some other doors, okay?

[He rubs at the back of his neck again, awkward. He can't weigh in on the whole buzzed thing-- for as much of a delinquent as he's seen to be back home, he's always been on the straight and narrow in that department, but he nods at Jolyne's suggestion. Probably best that they move on.]

Yeah, sounds good. Uh-- sorry again.

[She gives them both a wave, and sends them off to keep doing their Halloween thing, before ... basically faceplanting into bed. Goodnight.

Freya out.]
