[A yawn is the first thing that sounds as a sleepy Oz appears on the screen a moment later, sporting bedhead and looking a bit disheveled. Guess who woke up from his sleep coma?]

...Morning.

Uh... [He blinks a few more times, trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes as he yawns again] I guess I was more tired than I thought I was.

Did I miss anything?

Unlikely. [There really isn't much to overlook is there, aside from an overabundance of pumpkins?]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Then that's great~!

I wouldn't have wanted to miss anything while I was sleeping.

[Flashes him a bright smile, trying to fix his hair into some semblance of neatness]

Is there a reason there's so many pumpkins around?

[Don't mind him, he's still kinda waking up]

[kakkoii-kyou.livejournal.com]

In as far as I can tell, it's just a nuisance.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Why~?

Can't you find uses for them? They were probably given to us for a purpose, you'd think.

[kakkoii-kyou.livejournal.com]

Is that so?

They might fetch a profit, if they weren't so common and in abundance.

Good morning, Master Oz.

Good morning~!

Sorry for being gone so long like that. You were gonna make all those jam rolls and I probably missed out on them while I was sleeping, huh?

[thebutler-epic.livejournal.com]

Not to worry, my lord. I am still baking.

Would you care for some pumpkin bread? Or perhaps pumpkin cheese pastry.

[With the fact he has been asleep for as long as he has been, the sound of food actually sounds more than a little appealing right now.]

Ah! I would like some of that pumpkin cheese pastry if that's possible~!

I don't think you missed much, really. It's been very quiet around here.

[Except for...you know. C.C. dying.]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

[A look of relief crosses his face at that, stretching his semi-stiff limbs out]That's good~!

I'd feel bad if I'd missed anything while I was asleep~

[incorruption.livejournal.com]

Sometimes people fall asleep at bad times here, don't they?

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Seems that way, yeah.

[He raises a hand to scratch at the back of his head absentmindedly before a thought hits him]

About before, Nunnally. When we talked.

Thank you. It was good to talk about it and get it all off of my chest.

Good morning, Oz.

[Despite the smile on Noel's face, it seems that something is... amiss.]

I, um... I advise against leaving your room without mentally preparing yourself first. You see, since Halloween is this month, Miss Ada decided to make the mansion a bit more... festive...

[AKA Horrifying.]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

[That just earns a bit of a confused look for a moment. He has to wonder why that would be so bad, really.

After all, he doesn't know that side of his sister. You might want to explain a bit, as he's still kinda waking up.]

Eh? Festive?

It can't be that bad, can it?

[unsureazure.livejournal.com]

[It becomes very apparent to Noel that Oz didn't know a thing about his sister's... hobbies. Then again, that made sense, since from what she gathered, Ada had been hiding that particular interest until recently. However, being far too nice for her own good, Noel had repeatedly encouraged the girl to be herself more.

Noel doesn't even want to think about what's out there. She's gotten used to leaving the mansion while looking down at the ground. Otherwise, she'd shrivel into a ball of terror and tears in a corner somewhere.]

I don't even want to describe it... She said she'd tone it down, but... If this is what she calls 'toned down', I don't wanna imagine what it would be like if she went all out... Oh... [Sob.]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

[Blinks a bit at that, Noel's words really making him curious to what outside of his room looks like and why she seems so scared. His sister had always been so adorable when she was younger but now that she was older, it really did make him wonder and question what he really knew about her hobbies now that ten years had passed.

It's to this that he flashes a smile and gets out of bed, holding onto the dreamberry with one hand before he sets it down on the bedside table nearest him, kneeling so he was still in view of it]

Give me a moment and i'll go check it out, alright~?

[With that in mind, Oz disappears from view as he sauntered out of his room and into the hallway, checking out all of the decor and well.. not seeming creeped out by it.

Something that's evident when he gets back, looking almost as bubbly as before.]

Uwaa~! It's so scary! Ada really did a great job decorating~

I didn't know she could pull this kind of thing off~

[Have a happy Kobato appear on the screen surround by her pumpkin friends at the fountain.]

There are pumpkins popping up everywhere.

video;

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Uwaa~ Really?

[He can't help a smile here, despite himself. He's still kinda waking up but her cheerfulness almost seems contagious]

It's gotta be because it's for Halloween or something like that, I bet~

[kobatonotdobato.livejournal.com]

Hal-lo-ween? [She stares blankly for a moment, before looking at the pumpkins again and back.]

I think I read about that once.

video;

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Yup~!

At Halloween, everyone carves out pumpkins and make faces for em and you put em out in front of your home with a candle in it! People also dress up, too~! I only got to do it a few times but it's really fun~

[nightraysewerat]

Does anything important really happen around here anyway?

[He looks bored, really. That's the only reason he's bothering with Oz, at the moment.]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Yep~!

A few months back we had this whooooole thing with a flood and then there was some stuff with a Dreamwalking thing if I remember right~

[nightraysewerat]

I heard about the flood, and saw some of the dreamwalking...

[He shrugs his shoulders.]

Do they really feel significant to you, these events? The things that happen here?

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Huh?

Yeah. Of course they do. [A pause and he hesitates briefly]

Where did that come from?
