that already happened! he asked me yesterday :)
i said yes of course!! it sounds like a lot of fun
i have never been to a party before let alone a halloween one so.... im really excited!!!!
youre going to come too right?

I GUESS?
EVEN IF I SAID NO I'M PRETTY SURE THAT I'LL GET DRAGGED THERE REGARDLESS BECAUSE NO ONE ON THIS BASE KNOWS HOW TO MIND THEIR OLD BUSINESS.
AND I OBVIOUSLY NEVER BEEN TO A HALLOWEEN PARTY EITHER.
I HEARD THERE'S CANDY INVOLVED?
I MEAN, ORIGINALLY I HEARD THAT THE UNDEAD EAT PEOPLE WHO DON'T GIVE CANDY TO HUMAN WIGGLERS.
BUT I WAS TOLD THAT BY STRIDER AND LALONDE SO HOW FACTUAL THAT STATEMENT ACTUALLY *IS* IS DEBATABLE.

yes there is candy involved!
though i dont think the undead thing is true
there ARE a lot of zombie movies about the undead eating people on halloween but i dont think they are representative of actual halloween
then again..... i guess i wouldnt know! :o
i guess we will just have to wait and see :)

I WATCHED ONE OF THOSE.
IT WAS CALLED WARM BODIES.
THE ENDING WAS EXTREMELY OBVIOUS IMO BUT IT WAS DECENT.
ANYWAY
THE UNDEAD WASN'T THAT MUCH OF AN UNUSUAL CONCEPT AT ALTERNIA, BUT CANDY WASN'T INVOLVED.

i have never seen warm bodies but it sounds interesting!
and i dont think the candy is usually tied to the undead
its more like.... halloween is for spooky things and then candy to make up for the spooky things?
but those spooky things dont HAVE to be undead! they can just be magical
like werewolves
and witches!!

OH WE CAN WATCH IT TOGETHER IF YOU WANT.

[ FRIENDS WATCH MOVIES TOGETHER..... listen karkat tried Very Hard to secure jade as a friend before the three year trip and he wants to make sure he does not immediately fuck that up ]

WITCHES ARE SPOOKY? HUH.
YEAH I GUESS LOOKING AT YOU, I CAN SEE THAT.

[ jk he immediately fucked it up ]

haha very funny :P

[Jade knows it's a joke, but she still remembers Karkat's trolling days. She does consider him a friend... but she's going to keep an eye out.

Keeping an eye out does not preclude a movie night, though.]

i would love to watch it together though!
maybe we could have a spooky halloween movie night :o
or... a lot of spooky halloween movie nights
there are a lot of spooky movies!

[ this is probably going to end really badly since 90% of what karkat watches is romance, and the 10% is when he allows other people to pick the genre. so. he probably has not done a lot of spooky movies. ]

ALRIGHT FINE.
SO WE CAN FIT THE SPOOKY MOOD OR WHATEVER THE FUCK.
IS ABUSING THE WORD "SPOOKY" ALSO A HALLOWEEN THING?
BECAUSE ITS USAGE SINCE THIS PARTY HAS BEEN MENTIONED HAS WENT UP A LOT.

spooky is definitely a halloween thing!!!
it sort of defines the holiday i think :o
it means scary and horrific but also kind of silly
which is exactly what the halloween spirit is all about! :D

SILLY AND HORRIFIC ARE KIND OF ON TWO COMPLETE OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM.
BUT NOTHING THAT YOU HUMANS DO SEEM TO MAKE ANY REAL LOGICAL SENSE SO I GUESS THAT, IN ITS OWN WAY, MAKES SENSE.
IN A VERY BACKWARDS AND WEIRD WAY.

that's what makes halloween so great, though!!!
it takes a lot of scary things and makes them fun and silly :D
like....... dancing skeletons! :o

WHAT THE FUCK.
WHY ARE THE SKELETONS DANCING?

maybe they want to dance!
besides dancing skeletons are much more fun than skeletons that just lie there

THEY SOUND LIKE THEY'LL BE MORE OBNOXIOUS THAN ANYTHING?
ALL OF THAT RATTLING WOULD GET ON MY NERVES.
AND I HIGHLY DOUBT THEY ARE ACTUALLY ANY GOOD AT DANCING. SINCE THEY'RE SKELETONS.

you dont know they would be bad!!!
maybe they would be excellent dancers and you dont know just because you never let them try :(
how could you crush their dreams like that??? :((

TELL THEM TO GET A REAL JOB?
HOW THE FUCK DO THEY EXPECT TO MAKE A LIVING DANCING IN THIS ECONOMY.
A DEADING?
IT WOULDN'T BE LIVING SINCE THEY'RE. SKELETONS. WHO ARE DEAD.

do you think there is such a thing as a skeleton economy?
a.... skeleconomy? :o
maybe in the skeleconomy dancing is a very well paying job!
you never know!!!

WELL TELL ME, JADE, WHAT TYPE OF CURRENCY WOULD THEY BE USING IN THIS ECONOMY?
EXACTLY WHAT WOULD THESE SKELETONS NEED TO SURVIVE?
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY NEED FOOD OR SHELTER SINCE, AGAIN, THEY ARE DECEASED.
WHERE WOULD THEY KEEP THIS MONEY? THEY CAN'T WEAR CLOTHES, IT'LL SLIP RIGHT OFF THEIR BONY FRAMES.
THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO PUT THEIR WALLETS.

they could wear shirts or dresses with a narrow collar! :o
it would be very drapey but i bet that their shoulder bones would be able to hold the fabric up
they could wear hats too!
and obviously they would use candy for money
it is halloween!! :D

I DON'T KNOW, THAT SEEMS LIKE A PROBLEMATIC FORM OF CURRENCY.
THERE'S THE RISK OF IT GETTING EATEN BY NON-SKELETONS.
CAN YOU IMAGINE GOING HOME ONE DAY TO FIND OUT YOUR LIFE SAVINGS HAVE BEEN SHOVED INTO THE GREEDY MOUTH OF A DISGUSTING ASSHOLE WHO PROBABLY DID NOT WASH THEIR HANDS BEFOREHAND?

who would steal from a skeleton though?
they are very spooooooky :o
they can just scare off would be thieves by clattering their bones a little!

YOU ARE GROSSLY UNDERESTIMATING HOW MUCH SOME PEOPLE LOVE CANDY.
IF SOMEONE IS DETERMINED ENOUGH I AM SURE THEY WILL BE WILLING TO BRAVE A SKELETON.
THERE ISN'T MUCH THEY CAN DO BESIDES RATTLE THREATENINGLY.

maybe they would brave ONE skeleton....
but would they brave an entire skeleton society?? :o

OK BUT HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THE SKELETONS EVEN GROUP THEMSELVES TOGETHER LIKE THAT?
MAYBE THEY WOULD PREFER TO HAVE THEIR OWN SPACES.
OR MAYBE IF THEY SEE ONE OF THEM GETTING MUGGED FOR THEIR CANDY MONEY, THEY'D JUST LOOK THE OTHER WAY.
SKELETONS SEEM LIKE THEY'D BE ASSHOLES.

how can they be assholes if they do not even have asses karkat? :P
