37th Inning

[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!]

[He laughs.] Don't worry, I'll make sure I eat all my vegetables too, awright?

I'm glad to hear it. Please take this too, then. I've been doing a bit too much baking, with all the pumpkin sales going on. [She'll hand off something like half a dozen pumpkin cookies, packaged in a transparent sheet of plastic paper and tied up with an orange ribbon. It's nice and tidy.] I'm also rather confident that this would be healthier than all the candies that Mayfield has given us overnight, so hopefully you'll enjoy these too.

[Man oh man does he love Halloween.]

Hey, thanks! Man, I wish more people in town were like you! Too many people 'r flippin' out on me cuz 'a this. One lady even pulled a gun on me!

Oh, I don't suppose that the drone adults would act any differently than me, other than maybe chide you for your age? [they probably don't hand out home-baked goods either but that's besides the point.] ...Goodness, a gun does sound a bit extreme, but that's somewhat understandable, considering all that has happened in the past few weeks. Either way, it's good to see that there are still some left in high spirits tonight. Do please enjoy yourself for the rest of the evening, then. I don't know what job this town might have assigned you, but don't forget that it's still Monday tomorrow!

[And off he runs and double-jumps, hitting up your neighbors now instead of your house.]
