35th Inning

Aw geez! It's October already?! When did that happen?! That means not only did I miss my own freakin' birthday like 2 weeks ago - my twenty-first birthday - that means it's playoff season! Man, I hate this stupid town. I'm gonna miss the World freakin' Series! Lame!

Well anyway... I guess we got, like, important stuff ta discuss, right? So yeah. October. That means Halloween's comin', followed by Thanksgivin', followed by Christmas. I wasn't here for those last year, but from what I was told after I first got here, Halloween and Christmas were pretty ugly as far as the shit Mayfield likes ta pull. So everyone needs ta keep on their toes, awright? An' is there anyone left in town who was actually here last year fer Halloween who can give us an idea 'a what went on? Just so we know what ta expect.

Also, way too many people are gettin' droned 'round here lately. Talk about a bummer. I wonder if that's related ta that whole "escape" comment from tha Mayor the other day. Unless Doc is still kickin', I think I'm tha only BLU left in town. Double lame. Frickin' Engie...

Screw that.

I don't care how ugly it can get. I'm not letting anything ruin my Halloween. It's-

...Wait, did you say something about the BLU Engineer guy?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Honestly? If ya wanna do like, costumes and parties an' trick-or-treat, I'd plan that shit before that 31st. Cuz I got no doubt somethin' bad is on the horizon fer Halloween itself. I ain't tryin' ta ruin people's fun, it's just how things roll here.

Huh? Yeah, freakin' Engie's droned. Again. He gets droned all the damned time.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no. I know things get bad here. Don't care. The 31st is sacred, and there are specific things you're supposed to do for it. This stupid town isn't taking that away from me.

....So...he'll be back then, right?

Hey, happy belated birthday by the way. I had no idea you were older then I am.

Missing the playoffs huh? That sucks, believe me, I can sympathize.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Then good luck to ya, pally.

I dunno. Maybe. Hopefully. He left completely once an' came back once, it could happen again.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Thanks, man!

Not only the whole playoffs, but the whole damn season! I got here in February so I missed tha whole damn thing. Geez.

The incident occurring on Halloween was comparatively mild . . .

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

I don't need luck. I'll be totally fine.

He better.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Then maybe I'm thinkin' 'a Christmas then. Somethin' like heads 'a drones delivered in boxes, right? So what happened durin' last Halloween?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Shit man, yeah if things continue I'm gonna be stuck here the entire god damn soccer season.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

. . . . . . . Toilet paper.

Ah, happy belated birthday!

...W-would it sound strange if I said that I kinda have no idea what Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are?

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

Do you know if anything happened over New Years' last year?

[tsuntiger.livejournal.com]

[This is very important to Taiga. She will NOT let the town ruin her Christmas, even if it means celebrating it early.]

What happened at Christmas?

[sting-like-a.livejournal.com]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY~!

Hmmmm, Halloween... That's the holiday where people dress up in scary costumes and get free candy, right? Yeah, that was right before I got droned last year! Let's see, what happened back then... Oh, yeah! The drone kids egged everyone's houses and put toilet paper in the trees and stuff. Pretty tame, for this town~

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

What? That's it?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Look, the last thing I want is crap from you.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

She's long since droned, but I had a friend back when I first got here who said that the heads 'a drones got delivered in some gifts ta everyone.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Hey, thanks! Yeah, someone else said that. That is pretty lame. I don't think they'll let us off two years in a row.

[tsuntiger.livejournal.com]

[Eww. She just... won't open presents from Mayfield itself.]

Disgusting... Is that all, or did Mayfield decide to turn the town into a freezer too?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

I got here about February, an' I don't remember anyone sayin' anythin' about it. So I ain't sure.

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

Let them do what they will for the rest...New Years' is a sacred holiday in my homeland.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Dunno 'bout that. I think Tifa said somethin' 'bout a riot too. Like the whole town got together ta try an' distract Grady, an' cause havoc all over town. But he can teleport an' mass drone people, so it didn't work. An' then bam, drone heads in tha mail.

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

Yes.

. . . The incident mentioned occurred in the summer.
