[Game 21] That Night

[arsgoetia]

After everyone has gotten fed and had a chance to learn the basic details of what things are like here, Kieran calls you all together (pretty much because Madison had been trying to work up the steam to do so, so Kieran stepped in instead).

It's dark outside, and a little chill—about 9 or 10PM.

"Okay, guys," Kieran says. "So, Maddy's got enough train tickets for all of us minus two. Maddy's staying behind because of prophecy reasons, and I'm going to stay with him so he's not left alone in this house and also because I'm probably a killswitch for a powerful incubus, aka my boyfriend, showing up if anything happens to me and, by extension, Maddy." He delivers this all in a deadpan. "Anything else, Maddy?"

Maddy looks a little alarmed to be put on the spot, shaking his head and flushing a little. "Er. Not for now. Oh . . . if anything goes. Weird? Please listen to Sariel—he's . . . in charge?" And he hands over an envelope to everyone's favourite psychopomp.

Candy corn?

They're candies that are supposed to look like dried corn. Some people think they're too waxy, but they're not bad if you get the kind with real honey in it. Mostly they're cute and seasonal.

What an interesting shape for candy. Maybe Zeno will get to try some while we're around.

I'll grab you some if I see any. It shouldn't be hard to find.

Would you tell Zeno about all your favorite seasons?

It has to be summer for me, which weirdly I don't think has any holidays as an excuse for seasonal candy? All the others do.
