Halloween Special

A little short skit about the ROs finishing up their trick or treating! The genders were determined by a coin flip along with input from discord members. If you wish to give your input for future skits and such, feel free to join! Any without further ado, enjoy!

"Trick or treat!" a cacophony of voices assault the woman as she opens the door. Nina hand simultaniously reach out at the offered bowl to grab a piece of candy at random, and the door shuts.

"Taffy…" Pinna's scowl deepens as she inspects the candy she got.

"Oh…Oh…I'll take…it…" Matthew leans close to his sister with as much excitement as he can muster, slowly reaching out to her palm before it closes into a fist, enclosing the candy within it.

"What're you gunna trade for it?"

"How cruel. Even to your own brother," Ren wags a finger at her with a slight shake of her head, "although I guess you're just acting the part." She gestures to the little devil horns atop Pinna's head, the only accessory on her otherwise normal clothes. Pinna's face reddens slightly.

"Shut up! It's not like it was my idea anyway. Maybe you should act more like your appearance!"

"What, this?" Ren does a slight twist, showcasing small angel wings on a costume that shows off a slightly risque amount of skin with a little halo, settling with a slight wink, "I think it's quite fitting. Now all we need's a morally gray character."

"Present." Vee monotones as she waddles up in an oversized penguin costume that makes her appear several inches taller. With a straight face she attempts to salute, only to be constrained by the overly large fin. The sound of a camera shutter could be heard as Snatcher deviously takes several photos, dressed in the cotton overalls of a newsletter reporter, complete with a short-brim cap.

"This's like watchin' a turtle in the desert race. I ain't never gunna see anythin' this mythical again."

"Oh, make sure to get some shots of me!" Ren cheerfully calls after the photographer.

"As long as you don't take any of me…" Pinna mumbles, earning her a pat on the shoulder from a hesitantly smiling Emil, who's dressed in the bright colors of a comic superhero, a large E emblazoned on the chest.

"Don't worry, it's not about the candy or anything like that. Just spending time together is good enough!"

"Oh, is that all that is considered for this occasion? Then I believe I shall take my leave," Flay gathers up her long silken dress and takes a dignified step away before being called back by a pouting Emil.

"Hey, you promised!"

The matriarch sighs and repositions herself among the small group with a slight dismissive wave, "Fine, but I expect you to honor your portion of the agreement when we travel back."

"Which was…?" Leah hesitantly enters the conversation, spurred by her curiosity.

"Go remedy a different situation, quack doctor." Flay waves off the scholars attempt while referencing the modest nurse costume she wares.

"Er, um, I-It's a uniform donned by medical professionals in the service of—"

"Are most medical professionals also hard of hearing?"

"Well," Emil jumps in the middle of the conversation as amiably as he can, "What did you go as, Flay? It's very, um, expensive! For a costume, I mean."

"Costume? Why would I willingly subject myself to the blight of public humiliation? I will leave that to those of you who are less sensible than I."

"Sounds like…you went…as a…chicken…" Matthew teases, earning a deepened scowl from the princess. Ren laughs from a slight distance away, having heard the comment, and she and Snatcher give Matthew calls of praise. Before Flay's wrath can be put on full display, Pinna steps into the middle of the immediate group.

"I think that's enough. It's getting late, so let's go home."

"Good enough for me," Snatcher hums as he unwraps a sucker and slips it into his mouth, "Ya want one?"

"Fine…" Pinna snatches one of the hard candies and unwraps it, taking a forceful bite and shattering the sugary treat.

"Ya didn't break a tooth, did ya?" Ren winces slightly along with Emil.

"That's…how she…always eats…" Matthew explains, "I prefer…chewy…Oh Pinna…do you…still have…that taffy…?"

Pinna toss a piece of flatly pressed packaging towards her brother, causing a small hum of thank to emanate from the drowsy student.

"What exactly are you dressed as?" Snatcher questions as he walks next to the humming student. Matthew pauses in opening the cellophane to gesture to the thin green lines on his arms and neck that shift and intersect at various points.

"I'm…a computer…if it was…a human…"

"An android," Leah establishes, "How interesting. I didn't think you were interested in technology, Matthew."

"Well…I'm not…but it was…fast to…make…I used…marker…"

"Ah…" Leah shifts awkwardly as she walks, growing silent as she realizes she would be unable to further the discussion in the direction she was hoping for.

"You all forgot about me!" Raven darts out of a bush panting, small twigs stuck to her baggy military uniform while leaves rest atop her silver wig.

"Are you…Vee?" Snatcher questions.

"I'm Vee." Vee states matter-of-factly.

"You all…forgot about me," Raven catches her breath, a slight smile spreading on her face, "So I dressed as someone you wouldn't forget!" The entire group stays silent as Raven attempts to mimic the monotone voice and expressionless face, "Reporting for duty."

"You're not me." Vee restates.

"Yes I am!"

"I'm not that tall. The hair is too long. Your eye color is different. Your breasts are too big. You saluted wrong. Put your feet together."

"Alright, well…you two have fun with that…" Pinna guides the rest of the group away from the expressionless soldier and expressionless soldier in a penguin costume as they both attempt to salute. The night fades away with the sound of fading footsteps and cheerful banter.

Happy Halloween my amazing readers! :)

X Annual Druid Underground

vimeo

Showcasing the best of a decade of unique programming, the 10th annual Druid Underground is a high-powered blast of rebellious cinema hosted by Billy Burgess!

A spectacle unlike any other, Druid Underground champions subversive techniques that advance the language of cinema, challenge pre-conceived notions of underground art and simultaniously blow your mind out of your skull!
