Forums » General Roleplay » Trick or Treat: can you bake things for halloween?

Elizabeth hummed softly, wiping down the counter at the little bakery she co-owned with her friend. "Are we doing anything for halloween?" The taller man asked his shorter friend as he closed up the shop for the night. The bakery was decorated, but since she got all pouty about the idea of messing with the pastel aesthetic the cute french-style of architecture the building had, they just put up pastel pumpkins, some skeletons, and various webs with spiders on it.

"I dunno!" She small girl said, humming softly. "We can always just dress you up like a little maid and you can give out candy." Her friend responded, plopping down at a table.

Lizzie puffed out her cheeks, laying her head on the counter. "I don't have any candy. Can't i just hand out cookies? You can bake things for halloween, cant you? We are a bakery afterall!" She said with a chirpy voice before her friend nodded. "You make little bags with things and I'll go get you a costume." He said calmly before grabbing keys and leaving calmly, the woman getting to work.

By the time trick or treaters were out, Elizabeth was sat in a penguin onsie on the stoop of the store, handing out little bags of cookies and such to trick or treaters. She looked like a child herself, considering the 23 year old was only 4'11" and petite, and the childish costume onsie didn't help her looks in the situation.

Jas had passed a number of dressed up kids that night, as well as adults who had gotten into the spirit of the holiday that was taking place that night. As for Jas, he was never really one to actually celebrate the holidays excessively. There was usually more pressing things to take care of.

Grrwwrrlll...

Think of the devil, and he comes.

Jas' stomach growled, and the hunger pangs that he had been experiencing were a little envious of anyone and everyone who could go around saying 'trick or treat' in order to get candies, gummies, fruits, and other items that some people had been passing out for the night. Being a mute seemed difficult in that respect.

Just then, Jas saw the bakery. There must have been a dollar or two on hand, right? Patting down his pockets, Jas brought out his wallet and thumbed through it real fast. There was his ID, and there was... two dollars. That should have been enough for something.

Approaching the bakery, Jas was looking forward to being able to get something to tide his tummy over for the night.

Seeing the girl in the penguin onesie, Jas waved to her, hoping to get her attention.

Elizabeth smiled as she handed things out, talking and joking with the kids that were coming to get various things. She was cheery the whole time she went about what she was doing.

Lizzie hummed as she noticed someone waving. She looked up, waving back at him with a toothy grin that came across her chubby face. She waved him over, standing there as tall as she could even though she was shorter than some of the kids she was giving the candy to in the first place.

"Happy Halloween!!" She chirped at him, rocking on her heels as she waited for him to come over. She figured he would want something, i mean who wouldn't want sweets on halloween!!

She didn't know he was mute, but you didn't exactly have to speak to her to get something. She was just giving everyone who came up to her something, afterall!

Halloween had to be one of her favorite holidays. Why? Because it was the only time of year she could talk her friends into dressing up along with her. Sadly, this year didn't pan out like she had planned. Most of her friends split up for the holiday which left her alone.

She dressed herself up and wandered down the streets. It didn't bother her one bit that she was an adult dressed up and even visiting a few places for free candy. It was something fun and she needed that sugar high.

Out of the places she had been to and seen she crossed paths with a bakery. It's pastel colors and pink (her favorite) reminded her so much of her own business. She was behind everyone when she started to squeal loudly, something she often did when she was excited over something.

"This place is so cuuute!" She was almost half a foot taller than woman handing out goodies. In her own way she looked like a child too. She was small with a cute and seemingly innocent face. Her costume was what all girls dream of at some point in their life. She was a pretty pink princess with a real crown made of diamonds. Apparently she had money she could spend. Peeking out from the mass of, also pink, curls were white kitty ears. Her tail was hidden under the many layers of her dress.

Lizzie smiled, nodding a little as she shyly offered cookies to Autumn. Compliments to the bakery always got her bashful. Her cheeks were red as she spoke. "T-thank you!!" She chirped, offering her the baked goods happily.

She had a bright and shy smile on her face the whole time, looking obviously cozy as she stood in the fluffy baby penguin onsie. She looked up at her, a sweet smile on her face. "Happy halloween!" She said, rocking on her heels idly.

{You okay if I join in?}

With the fact that Jas had nothing to write on or write with, he relied on his sign language for the time being. Hesitating for a moment, Jas looked to the smaller girl, looked to the other person who had arrived, and then went ahead with the signs. It started with a point to himself, then using both hands in an upward grabbing motion, a hand to his mouth as if it were holding something, and then a rub in a circular motion on his chest.

I want food please.

Looking to Elizabeth in the penguin outfit, Jas hoped that he could at least buy a pastry of one kind or another with what he had on hand. However, judging by the decorations and the fact that the girl was dressed up -- it seemed that it might have more pertinent to actually go with a different series of signs. However, Jas retained a narrow shred of optimism for this interaction.

If it got down to it, there was a way that Jas could communicate... it would just be an odd way of handling it, that was all.
