Give me the Jack-o-Lantern.
Who: OPEN LOG! But definitely Gold and N.
What: PPPPUMPKIN CARVING AND DECORATING.
Where: The courtyard, right outside the dorms.
When: October 21st - 24th. All day and all night, but mostly in the afternoon.
Warnings: Whole lot of pumpkin guts. And maybe some cussing, depending on who's carving.
LOOK AT ALL THESE PUMPKINS!
Two boys- Gold and N- have been very hard at work, collecting pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, colors, and variety, loading them up in little wagons, and carting them back to school. Maybe you noticed the small cluster of pumpkins in the quad grow larger and larger throughout the afternoon on Saturday.
Or maybe you didn't notice at all until the next morning, when tables and chairs were set up, and art supplies (undoubtedly raided from an art classroom), knives (probably taken right from under Nancy's nose), and carving kits were set out.
Regardless, you should probably get to decorating these things before they start to rot!
[Yo! This is probably gonna end up working a lot like the Chao Garden log, where you're definitely encouraged to start your own individual threads, but N and Gold will probably be popping up here and there, too.
+ DON'T FORGET TO ADD YOUR DUDE'S TAG TO THE LOG!]

Well, that didn't seem to go over well. N frowned and headed for the pumpkin beside him, examining it and wondering if it was at all salvageable. If not, it could be used for pumpkin pie, maybe, so it wasn't going to go to waste, but... still!
"Did you not clean the insides first?" He grabbed for a knife, trying to cut a small hole at the top of the pumpkin to dig everything out.
no subject
Eating.
Seeds.
"Yeah I sorta."
Um.
"...Forgot."
Yeah.
no subject
Wait, but how could he-...
No, you know what? It was likely just an innocent mistake. It would be rude to question Mac over something as minor as that. Therefore, N shook his head, deeming it as not being a big deal.
"Well, then," he spoke, feeling a smile come on. "I will see if I can clean it, but if it is too late, we can continue eating it." Raw pumpkin? Maybe not the best idea, but it was worth a shot. It had to at least still be edible.
no subject
"Aw N...look, you don't hafta do that. It was my mistake so I'm takin' it like a man."
ALSO MAC IS EATING IT HE'S NOT DYING. He has an iron stomach but. Okay.
no subject
"I mustn't allow you to give up that quickly. It was a mistake, yes, but one mistake is not the end-all, be-all. You must still persist to achieve your dreams despite your shortcomings."
A pause, and then a jolly laugh. "That, or achieving a carved pumpkin."
no subject
"Sooooo," Mac said, giving up the ghost as he put his last seed in his mouth. Num. "What say you, how we go 'bout fixin' this disaster up?"
no subject
He didn't want either one of them to get accidentally cut. Eugh...
no subject
He takes a knife and just stares at the pumpkin. DEEP THOUGHTS.
"So um," Mac finally blurted out.
"There's already a big hole in it, what should we do?"
no subject
"We could make a large, round carving to adhere to the hole," he spoke, seeming a bit unsure. "Spoinks have large orbs on their heads... so perhaps we can carve its body beneath the large hole."
He remembered saving a little Spoink in Hoenn because it stopped bouncing. It nearly died! How frightening.
SO. SHORT. SO. SORRY. ; ;
He can assume that's what it is, being N and all.
ahahaha s'alright!!
N hefted the pumpkin fully onto his lap and gestured for a full, untouched one. "I can help you deseed that one so you can carve it into something you know. We can carve side-by-side."
Re: ahahaha s'alright!!
"Alright so um..." HRMM deep thinking. THIS WILL ONLY BE FAIR IF. "If you're gonna do a Pokemon, I will too! I'm gonna go make..."
What one does he know that N will know that won't offend either of the Pokefriends alongside them.
"I'm gonna do Tepig."
Yyyyeaaah, goin' to Unova like a boss.
no subject
"A Tepig! A fine choice," praised N, finishing the rest of the deseeding process and dumping them all into the designated pile. He begins to work immediately, carving out the Spoink's ears.
"We will both be carving pig Pokemon. Is this why you chose Tepig? It makes our work feel much more connected, don't you think?"
He smiled fondly. That was just precious.
no subject
Really, it was a coincidence. It was the first thing that popped up. But it made N happy so. Let's go with it.
"Sounds like a nice thing when ya put it like that. So alright! We're both makin' pig Pokemon pumpkins, let's go for it, yeah?"
He stared carving his, now deseeded pumpkin.
no subject
Admittedly, N was beginning to get hungry. Maybe he'd use one of the pumpkins he got with Gold to make a pumpkin pie
and successfully make the crust runny and disgusting. That'd be a nice idea.For now, however, his focus was carving. How did it turn out?
Bad.
Because he kind of dropped it hole-first, resulting in one hell of a nasty smashed pumpkin. Oops.
no subject
Nooooo...
Mac looked at the sad pumpkin, then at the sad face N made. Then at the pumpkin. Then at N.
Let's make this turn happy real fast, real fast c'mon. Mac you can do this, turn this around.
"Hey...we can work on this one together, 'kay?"
no subject
"Oh... yes, yes we can," he spoke, his frown still there. Spoink pumpkin, no... "I suppose we will only have one pig to account for."
He scooted next to him so they could work on the cute little thing together, but not without shooting one more respectful glance at the ruined fruit on the floor. Gone, but never forgotten.
