Forums » General Roleplay » Trick or Treat: Frankie

Frankie decorated her yard with jack-o-lanterns, cobwebs, and spooky inflatables. Her porch was done up with orange and black ribbons. Those glowing pumpkins lit up the short walkway leading to said porch where she was perched on her swing. Frankie was wearing a Mad Hatter costume and was handing out candy, as well as small stuffed Alice in Wonderland style bunnies.

"I always love this holiday," she says softly. Going down the suburban street, she spots the house with an obvious mad hatter theme when children walk away with stuffed bunnies. She quickly walks up the steps, resting the scythe on her back. "So, how long have you been doing this?" Nereza asked after the two small mummies in front of her depart. "Also, your hair is pretty awesome."

She had smiled brightly at the mummies and looked up to see her next visitor. "How long tonight? Or in general?" Frankie asked warmly, "And thank you. I dye it myself actually." She went on to answer the question, "Tonight, I've been at it maybe an hour, but in regards to how many times, this is actually my first time giving out treats. It's kinda why I went all out." She reached a bunny towards her politely, "Do you want one?" She gave him a shake goofily.

"He is very handsome," Nereza giggled softly. "I think I would love this company." Nereza looked out towards the busy street, filled with children tall and small, in various masks, and she sighed. She couldn't draw too many eyes with her scythe on Halloween. It could look like just a prop. "Did you train yourself to do that or did you learn in school?" Nereza asked, motioning to the top of her own head. "Must have taken a while."

Frankie hadn't took a good enough at the scythe herself so she herself thought it to be a prop. She giggled as well and handed him over. "Take good care of him," she grinned. "I went to school for it," she said brightly, "It wasn't too bad, especially since it's something I enjoy." Oh right, you gonna offer candy Frankie or just shoot the breeze? "Did you want some sweets too?" she asked politely, "I bought sooo much for tonight that I'll no doubt have a ton left over!"

She took him into he hands as if he were made of glass. Nereza gently turned the bunny over in her hand, feeling his soft belly with her thumb. "Oh dear, he will need a name." She tilted her head back and forth for a few moments. "Peter sounds so ordinary, but Pietro sounds nice." She nodded to herself. She also nodded with Frankie's comments. "I'm afraid I am allergic to bleach, so I can't dye my hair." She twisted a bit of it with her free finger, as the other arm was cradling Pietro. "I haven't had chocolate in a long time, it seems." She tried smacking her mouth for a moment, to try and summon the taste from the back of her tongue memory. "I don't eat much of anything other than vegetables and meat."

Again, she took to the streets. From her previous couple of stops till now, it appeared that Swallowtail had received quite a bit of candy that would have tided her over for at least a couple weeks at the current time. And on the bright side, no one really said anything about her 'costume' being 'uncanny for who she took after'. Much to Vara and Choomi's delight.

Looking around from behind her butterfly mask, Swallowtail took a moment then saw a decorated house front. She approached and noted another individual who seemed equipped with a scythe of some kind. The quality looked pretty good from the brief couple seconds that Swallowtail looked at it. However, her attention went to the person that was more at the door of the house.

"Bonsoir... Bonbons, S'il vous plaît," Swallowtail said. However, she caught herself this time and immediately went on to say, "err... that is, trick-or-treat. Sorry -- my people don't typically celebrate this 'oliday."

"Aww! I like it!" she beamed brightly. She could tell that particular bunny was in good hands now. Not so much earlier of the random kid who claimed his dog would love it.. "Oh no," she frowned, "It is what it is I suppose. Have you tried chalk? If you do it right it can work on even dark hair, but it's temporary." She nodded warmly, "I see. I eat too much junk food for my own good honestly."

Then a new face arrived speaking... french? Oh! "Hello!" she chirped, "Fill your bag with as much as you like! And have a bunny too~" She shook one at her just as she had before to her other guests.

A tall young teenage boy and a small elementary kid walk up to the house"What do we say Johnny" the teenager said in his samurai armor"Twick Ow tweet" it was adorable to hear the small one talk with his little plastic samurai sword

She smiled brightly at the two samurai. "Awww! You're such a little cutie," she said sweetly, giving them a good amount of candy. "You guys want bunnies too?" she asked, "They're super soft!"

At the rather generous invitation, Swallowtail's brow rose. Going over to the candies, she started putting some candies within -- two handfuls, to be exact. If she was allowed to help herself, then two handfuls would have been nice. One for her, one for the significant other when she returned home.

When presented the stuffed bunny, however, Swallowtail turned it over in her hands. Looking back to Frankie, she said to her: "merci pour le lapin. Ah... I mean, thank you for se rabbit. C'est très bonne qualité."

Swallowtail closed her eyes for a moment and collected her thoughts.

"What I mean is... it is very nice feeling," Swallowtail said, getting her English and French mixed up in her mind as she attempted to simply thank and express her thoughts.

Carefully setting the bunny stuffed toy on top of her candies in the bag, Swallowtail looked again to Frankie and said, "thank you and 'ave a 'appy 'Olloween."

Stepping from the porch to allow other trick-or-treaters through, Swallowtail made her way to the next house before getting back to where she was staying that week.

"You're very welcome," she smiled brightly, patiently waiting for the woman to translate the rest as she seemed to be having a little trouble.

"Yes, you're welcome! Happy Halloween to you as well!" Frankie said happily in return.

"Thank you nice wady" his eyes widen in excitment"BUNNY" he practically rips it from your hand and holds it close to him"Aww, thanks he loves it, here I'll take one for my Lil sis" he grabs one

She giggled when the boy thanked her, "You're very welcome~" Another laugh when he grabbed the bunny, "Awww. No problem. Be careful out there. Happy Halloween!"

"Wady, can you pwease date my big bwo" Hanzo shushes him and blushes

"I-i-I'm so sorry, I'm a lobe brother and I take care if him and I've been looking for someone to date" he awkwardly says

(*lone)

She laughed, shaking her head, "It's okay. Kids are super blunt with that kind of stuff." Then to the little guy, she giggled, "I'm sorry, I'm sure he's great but I don't know him well enough for dates."

"Aww, but I wike you, my bwothew would too" he said hugging you"I am so sorry, here let me just uhh" he tries to get the small one off

She laughed again, patting the little guy's back lightly before his brother tried to get him off. Well, this was amusing.
