All Hallows!

This is me, [journalfen.net profile] lindentreeisle, and [journalfen.net profile] kyabetsu trick-or-treating! We were spinking.


(I am the baby spink. They are the momma spinks. Until we traded costumes partway through.)

Then we wheeled and dealed over our candy (of which there was lots!) and now we are preparing to start NaNo in an hour! (Yay NaNo!)

ETA: 2,000 words! 2,000 words of utter crap, but it's prologue, and that's always utter crap anyway. But it's done!

Those are... those are awesome. I was going to be a renfaire demon lady until I lost my demon horns, but if I was walking down a block and saw that coming towards me, I think I would die laughing. And someone would take my candy.

The best part was when I got to watch them proceeding up these little narrow pathways alongside hedges on the way to people's doors. Spink invasion!

Although I will say, I was never worried about people not seeing us on the street. :D

I saw them and went AWWW. And then I thought about how creepy it would be if all three of you just stood around going :D and NOT. SAYING. ANYTHING.

"Happy Halloween?"

:D

"...so, I'll get the candy!"

:D

"...um. You like Snickers?"

:D

That's what spinks are supposed to do, but alas, we're all well-brought-up young ladies, so we couldn't not say please and thank you.

When I was wearing the spink suit, though, I did go to a couple houses and just stuff the candy right in my maw! :D People were amused. (The mouths were open at the bottom for ventilation.)

Yeah, I always made sure to thank people and wish them a happy Halloween. Even the obnoxious church ladies who were all "Aren't you a little old to be trick-or-treating?" And the random creepy boob-staring guy.

Apparently this was unusual, because most of the kids didn't even bother with "Trick or treat!"
