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.

"i'm pretty sure he thinks the entire mansion belongs to him."

And hey, Sans isn't gonna argue. Arguing usually makes 4 start hissing at him, which is no fun for anyone.

"that'd be cool. let me know what you find."

[sciencelizard]

"I w-will! There was, uh, someone a while ago talking about installing s-sensors for events, but I'm not sure it went a-anywhere. It might be useful for, uhm, preventing anything c-coming at us. Or finding a way to b-break out from, uhm, Wonderland's wavelength and f-finding others again. Or if, uh, e-events from certain worlds resonate with that worlds, uh, magical s-signature, maybe finding a way to a-adapt Wonderland's to, uh, t-theirs, and get people home?" It's a long shot, best-case-scenario sort of thing, which is... unlikely. But she's hopeful for something.

"Even if we don't t-turn up anything, the data m-might help someone." That's always been the goal, at least. And there is a whole team of other science types kicking around. Alphys shakes her head, afterwards, smiling at Sans. "But, uh, t-that's a lot of serious talk! Do you wanna, uhm, g-get back to trick or treating? We could go a-around together for a bit."

[punful]

He laughs as she completely goes away into the science of it, into theories and ideas and plans. He loves this. He really loves scientists.

"heh, well i doubt you'll need someone like me for any of that, but if you did...maybe i could help or something."

It...really would be nice to get back into it. To maybe not have it all be corrupted for him again.

"but uh, heh, yeah, in the meantime, we got lots of trick or treating to do. i'm down if you are."

[sciencelizard]

"Totally! I a-always need somebody to run prototypes with, or even just, y-you know, go over data. I'll let you know when I have some, uh, free t-time. I'm working on a piece for somebody now, but w-when that's done!"

Honestly, just the thought that she could work with Sans-- again, in some blurry part of her mind, again-- makes her so, so happy. She's smiling wider than she means to, but it feels good to just... be pleased to bursting.

"Yeah! Let's get o-on it. For love and justice, y-you know?"

[punful]

Aw, man. She's so happy.

"yeah, heh. it could...be fun."

He hasn't done anything resembling science with anyone in...years. Ages. Maybe it would be nice to get back into it.

Or it could be a terrible idea, but. Oh well.

"hell yeah. love and justice."

[sciencelizard]

"Yeah!" Fully into it, she strikes a pose, pointing her plastic wand ahead of her and jostling her candy bucket so Mew Mew pokes her head out the top. "C-C'mon! Let's get that candy and d-defeat that monster!"

She's so enthusiastic, all of a sudden. Almost confident. She smiles back at Sans. "Let's g-go!"
