Chevron fourteen

[allthezpms]

So... anybody know if all the stores are going to have candy at a discount tomorrow?

I mean. I want to know purely for curiosity's sake. Not because I am a glutton or anything, certainly not. The sugar helps me when I feel a little faint, you see.

All the candy is mine.

[allthezpms]

Not if I get to it first.

[badnewsboy]

I've already gotten there.

[allthezpms]

What? How? Halloween isn't even over yet! This is so not fair.

[badnewsboy]

I have liberated it to the point where there is no candy left for clearance.

Perhaps next year you will come up with a formidable plan.

[hawkingbird]

I don't think your teeth will appreciate that.

[badnewsboy]

There must be casualties in every crusade.

[hawkingbird]

what will you say when he's done with his candy bender

[badnewsboy]

[themuse]

If you want candy, Sheska and I are handing some out. I'm sure we can make room for the grown up trick or treat-ers.

[Kate... may be dressed as a pirate right now.]

[allthezpms]

Oh, no, no, I'm not doing that part. Just doing my part in getting tomorrow's unwanted stock off the shelves.

[themuse]

Come on, Rodney. My roommate made me wear a costume. Give me a break here and just come by and get some damn candy.

[allthezpms]

Well...

... is the costume required?

[themuse]

Do you see the hat I'm wearing right now? I think you can take two seconds to put on a cape or something and play along.

action because

[thneed]

[ he is coming in this apartment dressed like the cat in the hat and carrying a thneed full of candy

what does a thneed filled with candy look like? reference: yes that much candy. ]

Why would you want discount candy when you could get it for free?

[allthezpms]

... ... where on Earth did you get all of that?!

[Rodney looks appropriately floored.]

[thneed]

[ pulls the hat off and turns it over. candy pouring out then throwing his hands up in some sort of victory ]

Everywhere! Some houses were cleared out I think some kid was ahead of me but I figured it out! [ wiggles finger at him ] You need to trick or treat at places of business too! Secretaries always have candy! Nobody even tries there usually so I get everything! And the bakery~ Free goodies!

[allthezpms]

[Rodney slowly rubs his eyes, struggling to take it all in.]

Well, I'll certainly give you points for creative thinking. I doubt there's going to be a crumb of candy left at this rate.

[thneed]

[ Quickly nods. Once-ler's rocking on his heels, excitedly looking at all of this sugar. So. Much. Sugar. ]

Yuuup! I am so proud. I never got to do this before 'cause I kinda lived in the middle of nowhere I mean where is there to get candy on a farm? There aren't any neighbors! And then Greenville was a little town but this is a whooole city! City worth of candy! Haha!

[dreamingoflove]

...Will it be safe?

[She's gotten a bit of bad information about the holiday...]

[allthezpms]

Of course. Fear about Halloween candy is usually completely overblown aside from the teeth-rotting aspects.

[dreamingoflove]

But there was someone who said there were terrible people who try to take your...your blood!

[allthezpms]

[Oh, dear.]

Vampires? Oh, we don't have any of those here. [To his knowledge, anyway.] And if they tried to hurt anybody, well, we have a nice police force to take care of that.

[pelagically]

If I tell you no, there'd be more for me.

But in the spirit of fair competition, I'll refrain from doing that.

[allthezpms]

I appreciate the fair consideration. It looks like we've been beaten to the punch at any rate.
