The House of Vaguely Unsettling Things

[Alyssa]

You've just come from the house next door. They gave out full sized candy bars. You make a note to tell your friends.

In the meantime, you have one house left on the block to visit.
Walking up the sidewalk to the door, you note that the owner has seemingly forgotten to decorate properly for Halloween.
There are bats made of old socks and pipe cleaners and a dog in a half-hearted costume with a very murderous look on his face.
The main decoration seems to be a large inflatable Santa Claus with a construction paper moustache taped to its face.

You shrug and ring the doorbell.
The door opens and you see...



"Uh, hi" the ghost (?) says with a hint of embarrassment in her voice. "Uh, sorry about my costume. I couldn't find any white sheets. Candy? hold on."

You wait on the porch and note with amusement that she's forgotten to cut a hole in the sheet for her other arm.

She retreats inside for a moment, then struggles back with a large cardboard box, covered in glitter and crudely-drawn pictures of a werewolf-vampire-garden slug hybrid.

"I ran out of candy earlier, but I found some cool stuff in the attic! Look in the box, you can take whatever you want."

Nova floats up to the house, and is greeted by quite the site of a friend in a girly blanket. "Hi Al-Ghostie! What's in the box here? =D"

Imagine if you will, a box, so full of stuff, that you must wonder how it doesn't implode on itself. The answer is simple. This box is no storage container. If you'd like I will demonstrate. Step into the box...

And into the twilight zone.

In the twilight zone, you see another box, this one also full of stuff, but less so. Also there is someone dressed as a matress (as evidenced by the purple bedsheet).

Trick or Recursion!

Aww, you are so cute! I'll take whatever you can offer me, your adorable, funny costume is enough of a treat this Halloween. ^_^

Oh hi!
This here is my grandpa's house.
Or was until he kicked the bucket.
That thing went so far that he set the world record and is now living comfortably on his own private island.

Anyways, it's full of some pretty cool stuff.
the purple bed sheet reaches into the box and pulls out a... snake?

So that's where she went!
I'm sorry, Mrs. Cuddlypants. At least you had all those mice up in the attic to eat.

Well, Nova, whatever comes out of this box is yours.
So welcome to the new life of a snake caretaker!

Hi! =D Trick or treat! You have the cutest costume, everyone knows pink is the new white anyway! May I have something from the box?

[Gelquie]

The dark-blue clad necromancer comes to the door and chuckles at the costume.

"Well, white sheet or no, it's still a nice costume," she comments. "Anyway, cool things from the attic? Let's see..."

The necromancer reaches into the box and pulls out something randomly.

Uhhhh.
Yes? Maybe?
it's just cardboard and glitter and Crayolas, I swear!

She looks nervous and starts to shake slightly.

Oh yeah, a treat. That's what I'm supposed to do.

After rummaging around in the box for a bit, she cheers up some and proudly produces a slightly battered journal filled with drawings of various foods.

Go ahead, take a look!
I took it upon myself to draw every dinner I've had for the past eight years.
Check November 3rd, 2007. That was some good baklava.

Why?
Well, why not?
I think it will make a great addition to your library.
You're very welcome, by the way.
I know you just can't find the right way express your extreme gratitude.
It's ok, I understand.
Byeeee!
