(Open) This is Halloween
Who: Luca Paguro and Open
What: Catch all for the month
When: Throughout October
Where: The Black Parade, the Devil's Dive, the Disaster House, the beach
Content Warnings: A child drinking paint thinner (with no ill effects)
Black Parade (Open)
Luca knows by now, thanks to a certain network post, that if he wants to eat something without feeling that weird floaty feeling he'll have to eat poison. And he would, really he would, but who could possibly sit there eating whatever toxic thing they come across when there's so much delicious food here that he's never had before?
A lot of the food here seems to be seasonal, and Luca doesn't want to lose his chance to try them while they're still around. Besides, the loopy feeling wasn't that bad.
And that is why Luca is currently eating a candy apple, staggering around a bit because he definitely should not be eating said candy apple, while marveling at the puppetry and various festivities. At least it seems he's taking some precautions in this place. While he's made absolutely no effort to stay sober, Luca seems to have taken the local's advice to wear a costume to heart, as he's currently wearing a mask and costume. Or he might not have cared about the warnings of ghosts at all and just thought dressing up was fun. With how he's acting right now, it's really hard to tell how much Luca actually took in.
Devil's Dive (Open)
And once again it seems that Luca completely ignored the advice to not eat non-poisoned food. It's not really his fault, though. He'd never had nachos before, and ever since he came to this place, he'd discovered nachos were amazing. Is it his fault that nachos aren't poisonous?
That's how he justifies sitting there, getting progressively more impaired as he chows down on nachos.
"These are delicious! I don't know what the orange stuff is, but I love it!"
He might be seen in the same outfit he wore to the black parade, though he sometimes switches out the costume for the sailor suit he got when he first arrived, though he keeps the same mask on.
He continues to enjoy the nachos until eventually he leans back too far and ends up tumbling to the ground along with his chair.
"...ow. I'm all right."
And then staggers and stumbles as he both tries to get back up and tries to set his chair upright again. He's definitely fine, though. He'll insist on that fact if anyone asks.
Decorating the Disaster House (Open to anyone who has a reason to be outside the Disaster House)
Luca wants to do a good job, so he decides he's going to actually do what he's supposed to do. He won't eat or drink any real food or drink until he gets this done.
At first he just waits a few hours until the effects of his last meal wear off, then he gathers some supplies for a fairly easy Halloween decoration he wanted to try. A mirror, an old black and white picture, glue and some paint thinner.
He sets to work, disassembling the mirror and removing it from the frame, sitting down and working out where he wants to place the picture, and generally trying to carefully craft his 'haunted mirror' for the house. Then he notices he's starting to get thirsty. Again. And if he gets a drink of water, he'll just end up all weird again, and have to wait it out until his head's sorted out, and if he does that, it'll take forever before he can make anything.
He stares at the paint thinner. The guy on the Omni said vilebloods can only drink poison, right? He's a little nervous, picking up the bottle and staring at it for a moment. If he's wrong...this could be very, very bad, but...what reason would that guy have to lie? And he does need to figure out a way to eat and drink without going all loopy.
Unscrewing the lid, Luca brings it up to his face. Cod, that smells terrible. Well, here goes nothing.
Luca chugs the paint thinner.
It tastes...strangely tolerable, and as he downs it, he realizes he does feel refreshed. For the first time since the month began, he can drink without any ill effects. So he keeps drinking.
Fishing (Closed to Fern)]
Luca had been feeling lonely lately. Sure, he loves all the new friends he's making, but he misses his family, misses being in a world with others of his kind, but most of all, he misses Alberto. It had been so hard to leave him, but at the time he'd told himself that he'd write letters and call and that it would only be nine months. Now...he's totally cut off from Alberto, and he has no way of knowing if he, or anyone else from Luca's world, will ever wash up on shore.
Well, maybe this fishing trip with Fern will help distract him a bit from his thoughts. Even though fishing still reminds him of Alberto, and how good Alberto was at helping Massimo out with the nets. Still...it'll be nice having some help catching some fish. Fish that will apparently get him drunk all month when he actually eats it, but still...
He trudges over to the dock, not even noticing the rotting corpse of Alberto as he goes to find Fern, hoping Fern's fun personality will help distract him from his train of thought.

Which is kind of nice to meet someone else...kind of similar to him. Especially when he's in a place with no other sea monsters.
"You know, I met another wolf that's sometimes human here. I fished him out of the ocean when he first showed up."
no subject
Mebh has already met him, and naturally they started forming a friendship once they figured out they had something in common, even if Tsume isn't quite the same being as Mebh is and she doesn't quite share his attitude about blending in with society.
"He's got some kind of magic that makes him look human all the time, though. I have to fall asleep to be a wolf."
no subject
At least, Luca assumes, because he'd be incredibly happy to meet any sort of sea monster people in this place. He'd even been happy to find out there was a pointy eared guy with gills here, because then he could swim with someone without worrying about possible drowning.
no subject
At least until she met Robyn and accidentally bit her. Even though Mebh's mother had always told her never to bite anyone, since a Wolfwalker's bite will turn someone else into a Wolfwalker, she's still happy that she and her mother aren't the only ones left anymore.
no subject
Because 'last' implies there used to be more.
Then, in a hushed tone, he asked, "Did humans hunt them?"
no subject
That's all Mebh is willing to say about it, but the implications are still there.
no subject
no subject
Truthfully, Mebh doesn't know much about the ocean aside from that it's a lot of water and you can't see what's on the other side of it.
no subject
Luca knows plenty about the ocean, but he doesn't know much about humans, so he has no idea that humans can't drink salt water since he can. Still, he knows how vast the ocean is, so humans drinking all the water isn't much of a concern to him.
