37th Inning

[freakinblur]

[Scout's spent too long cooped up or being hunted down by hazmats recently. Now it was finally Halloween, and it was time for fun!

So he's out roaming the neighborhood trying to jump put and scare kids. He's surprisingly good at it. Better look out, as he's about to get you! His Halloween costume, by the way, is the Milkman. The drones don't get it, but he's certainly thinks it's pretty damned appropriate.

He'll be trolling for candy too. No, he doesn't care that he's 21 years old. You're never too old for candy, right? Oh yeah, he just TPed that tree in your yard too. Or covered your car in shaving cream. Any number of juvenile pranks are coming at you!

Also, there will be a ring on Taiwan's doorbell. A package of Halloween cookies will be left there, with a note attached saying they're to her, from Scout. He promised her something nice for her birthday, but Mayfield sort of stomped all over any chance for fun last week.

Happy Halloween, Mayfield!]

[In retrospect, jumping out and scaring people who just got done being harrassed and murdered for a week isn't a good idea. But Scout doesn't think like that.

He jumps out and is about to yell something, when you haul off and hit him in the jaw. Ouch.]

H-Holy crap! Geez! Relax, would ya?!

[Call it more of a gut reaction. Now she's looking more like 'why did I just do that?']

Oh, jeez! Are you okay?

[He's been hit in the face a zillion times in his life. About half of those were by angry girls. Just another day in the life of Scout. He rubs his nose.]

Holy--- damn, girl, ya got a hell of a punch, I'll give ya that!

[radiant-will.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. Thanks, I guess.

…It's probably a good thing that you're not the real milkman.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Cuz then ya woulda shot me? [He manages a grin, finally.]

[radiant-will.livejournal.com]

I'm not that stupid. The bullets would probably just bounce off of him, besides.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Wasn't suggestin' otherwise. But yer prob'ly right.

So where's yer costume?

[radiant-will.livejournal.com]

I didn't really have time to make one. I'm not going to trick-or-treating, anyway.

…You're a little old to be out, aren't you?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yer never too old for Halloween! Plus, this town don't let us have fun too often, right? Gotta get it in when ya can!

[radiant-will.livejournal.com]

Can't argue with that. If you'd talked to me sooner, I could have dressed up as Officer Grady.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[He laughs at that.] That woulda been totally sweet! I wish I'd thought 'a that too!

[radiant-will.livejournal.com]

Mm. Well, I don't know if I could've actually done that. Grady hurt a lot of people looking for the Russian, didn't he? It'd pretty bad taste.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Huh, maybe. Ain't like he hasn't always done that stuff.

[radiant-will.livejournal.com]

That's true.

Anyway, have fun. Hopefully no one else tries to knock you out.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe I'll stick to tha TP an' not so much the jumpin' out at people. I'd like ta keep my nose in one piece. See ya!

[Off he zips to tangle up some nearby cars!]
