[Persephone's kneeling in her own private garden, and she's rather surrounded by rose bushes that are doing their odd lean in towards her.]

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.

...Becky?

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Who?

[bunchasavages.livejournal.com]

What're you doing here?

[Laughingly:] What're you wearing?

[Pause.]

Oh my God, are you and Dante doing some weird sex shit? Jesus, I told you two I don't want a three-way.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I have been here for quite some time.

[Persephone is totally glaring at the camera.]

No one has ever turned down a 'three-way' with me, mortal. If I had offered, you would have willingly come along.

[bunchasavages.livejournal.com]

Mortal, huh? Look, I don't do the whole role-playing thing.

Especially not with my best friend's old lady.

Hey, is he here?

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

...I am no one's old lady. I am a goddess.

I do not know of whom you are speaking.

[bunchasavages.livejournal.com]

Right. Goddess. Whatever, Becky.

Who else? Your husband. Father of your unborn -

Hey, you had the kid! What was it? Did you name it after me? I knew you would!

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I am Persephone.

I did not have a child...

You are a stupid mortal. Are your ears full of wax?

[And then to prove it, Persephone quickly grabs a flower from the bush and holding it in her hands, she kills it stone dead, turning it brown and then blowing the dried powder.]

Confused Randal is Confused.

...What?

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

[While he's questioning, Persephone quickly pulled her hand back, and a small seed flowered in it, turning into a purple rose. She doesn't respond to his statement.]

[bunchasavages.livejournal.com]

Neat trick.

Look, is Dante here or not?

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I do not know any Dante.

[bunchasavages.livejournal.com]

Stop fucking around.

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?

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I am not 'fucking around.' You are a very stupid mortal. I wonder how you are able to function in your society.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I approve of chocolate. I approve of this happening.

[bunchasavages.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Like I haven't heard you say that about a million times, Becky.

Come on. Be serious.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

You. Are. Stupid. I am not going to speak with you anymore. If you keep talking, I will add you to my rose bushes.

[bunchasavages.livejournal.com]

Yeah, okay.

[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.

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

What?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

You should come over here and say that to me, stupid mortal.

[veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com]

'Candy'...
