Halloween 2023 - Day 01

10/01/2023

Drago: Let's just tidy up from the St. Paddy's Day countdown.

Cael: That countdown sure was one for the ages, wasn't it?

Drago: For sure. Shame on anyone who missed it...

Drago: Anywho

Cael: Anyhow...

Drago: Anywho. I've also taken the liberty of resetting the number...box...thingies.

Cael: Why is it set to 32?

Drago: I'll answer that question, if you answer one of mine.

Drago: When was the last time you watered your plant?

Cael: This morning!

Drago: And before that?

Cael: Look, I'm going for a shrunken apple vibe, or whatever else we can shamelessly rip off of X-E.

Jeeves: Dinos of the Dracula persuasion are more in vogue now, don't you know.

Drago: I didn't know we had an entrance on this side of the apartment.

Jeeves: I took the initiative and created one...just now.

Jeeves: And a good thing I did. What's the meaning of this 'Day 32' business?

Drago: I'll answer that question, if you answer one of mine.

Jeeves: I shall not.

And I have a new countdown system for you. Very hi-tech.

Cael: What tech? Magnets?

Jeeves: Yes! I see you've heard of them. Excellent. I'll skip the user's manual in that case.

Drago: Magnets...how do they work?

Jeeves: Go ask a clown.

Cael: Speaking of clowns. Remember that ol' ditty we used to love?

VOO-DEW!

Runnin' from my Magic!

Brain insane, suga wooga pie!

Southwest voodoo's in the haugh!

Wicked voodoo, dope dark killer,
Magic...Dark Magic!

Sands O'Time: I'm having a Dante's Inferno moment.

Big Pumpy: What does that mean?

Sands O'Time: No idea.

Sands O'Time: But we're looking a little worse for wear lately. These hats have seen better days.

Big Pumpy: As I recall, they're not hats. They're aliens, and they must have died.

Sands O'Time: So the degredation is decay. Splendid...

Big Pumpy: Cheer up. We got a new gift today.

Big Pumpy: Our very own countdown...box...thingy.

Big Pumpy: It'll fit nicely, and we will finally have some prominence.

Sands O'Time: Why does it say '32'?

Big Pumpy: It's an All Soul's Day countdown!

Sands O'Time: Listen, if you don't know, just say so.

Jeeves: So all the garbage will go here.

Owlpatch: Is this a dump? It looks more like a sewer facility or something.

Jeeves: I don't think it much matters.

Jeeves: Just drop it any ol' place, and the rats will take care of the rest.

Owlpatch: Rats?

Jeeves: Yes. They compost very efficiently. Egg shells in particular.

Big Pumpy: See! I told you. New arrivials. It's all falling into place now.

Sands O'Time: What's falling into place?

Big Pumpy: We officially have our own countdown!

Next!
