I do not understand this Halloween holiday. I have seen it spoken to as a harvest festival, and while the Harvest is a wonderful thing to celebrate... I do not approve of these childish notions that I have seen.

Honoring the Gods is the proper thing to do; it pleases us. Someone explain this trick-or-treat.

Well, in my world, (I won't presume to know about all of them), corporations have taken over the world, and what they really want is money. They make money by selling huge amounts of candy, which kids spend an entire night walking from house to house to collect. And then they spend the next whole year trying to eat all of it, assuming they don't eat it all in one night and make themselves sick. Kind of fantastic, isn't it?

I approve of chocolate. I approve of this happening.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

It's hard to argue with. The sad part is that when you grow up, people don't expect you to trick or treat anymore. Sometime around the beginning of high school, it starts to be weird.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

So free candy stops when you reach maturity. How like mortals to deny yourself this over something silly.

I insist we do this trick or treating aboard the barge.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I never really got it either.

If we can get our hands on enough candy, I am in full support of this plan.

The Admiral would provide should we demand it and offer something in return. He has to be a member of my family after all.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

I have no clue what that's supposed to mean, but I like the sound of it.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

The Admiral is God; we tend to like it when people offer us things in return for our favors.

I like you. Who are you?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

What, really?

Stephanie Brown.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I am Persephone.

It is nice to meet you, Stephanie Brown.

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

What?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

It's a holiday where you hunt for candy. Isn't it great?

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

'Candy'...

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Food made almost entirely out of sugar.

Fun fact! Romans didn't use it for food...

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

Why would you want to have that? Sounds absolutely ghastly...

The more you know~

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Because it's delicious? The human brain is actually programmed to react to sugar with happiness.

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

You react to medicine with... Smiles?

Your world must be very peculiar.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

...Candy is not medicine.

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

You said it's made of sugar.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I have some, Daughter of Rome, should you wish to try it.

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

I've no need for medicinal fancies, though I appreciate the sentiment.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Have you yet tried chocolate?

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

Is this some Greek bedroom exploit?

It sounds Greek...

Oh Atia. We need an Antony for amazing fun times.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

No. It is a food. I think you would like it.

That way she could kick him in the nuts for brutally leaving her. >:|

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

What does it... Look like?
