[she's out here at night wearing a cheap wig while being menaced by spider skeletons.]

But spiders don't have bones!

[ziosar]

[Sorry for taking a bit to respond -- I needed to pace myself a little, yup.

Shadowheart is getting accosted by skeletal spiders, and Akihiko isn't doing much better, not too far from her]

Biological accuracy might be the least of anyone's worries here!

[He says that because a shark is biting him. It's a big enough skeleton it has engulfed like half of his torso. It'd be more alarming if its teeth were sharp instead of blunt, for some reason, but that doesn't change that he's losing a struggle against a living Halloween decoration]

[sacredpath]

[oh... she will grab a jack-o-lantern and try to bash it over the shark's head.]

Stop it!

[though she's not being accosted, the skeletons don't really move. so maybe he just sort of fell into the shark's mouth.]

[ziosar]

[Most likely, really. He probably was near some group of random skeletons that suddenly moved to try to give him candy, and as someone really used to fighting abnormal things trying to kill him, coupled with a complete aversion to the cursed food all over heaven, he probably reacted somewhat rashly. One thing led to another, mistakes happened, and here he is now.

Smashing the jack-o-lantern on the shark skeleton loosens it enough to make it fall. Akihiko rubs where it had been clamped on him, annoyed he got in this kind of shenanigans in the first place]

What happened to just having bowls for anyone to take candy from?

[It'd have been much simpler and less likely to get him into some embarrassing situations]

[sacredpath]

[it is a normal misunderstanding i made, to assume fake skeletons are moving around.]

...Oh. It's just another fake.

[why are these things so terrifying.]

[ziosar]

[With how murdergames are like, that's a very plausible thought]

They better be, all of them. Something about this whole place has me on edge. It's like being surrounded by enemies...

[He's been seeing all these different unnatural boney shapes in the dark from the corner of his eye because there are just way too many skeletons around here. It's going to take a long while for his honed battle instincts to stop telling him danger might come all of a sudden.]

[sacredpath]

It's a very odd festival. Usually when I see sculptures of bones, there's some sort of malevolent cult about.

[ziosar]

Are those common where you came from?

[Malevolent cults, he means]
