Oshi Shikigami: I like that, yeah. Who knows what mystifying things may transpire, on a night like this? Oshi queries.
Tatsu Yume as Ai gives a Japanese response, sounds like a question?
Haninozuka Wang laughs and looks glances at the angel and the Wednesday coming nodding before look back at Ai then Oshi.. 'so do you know this girl I assume he says softly " . his rotten green blacken form a smile .. like no other ..
Fiona Reinhardt surveys the gathered, a ghost, a woman with white hair and a young man cleaved in the head. She smiles at the cleaver head "So much clearer the mind, that way." She looks blankly at the ghost girl "I envy you. Death is so relaxing." She glances back at Vincent “I like this town. Be afraid. Be very afraid."
Vincent DiAntoni looks at the cop shop and finds it much like the one at home. For some reason that helps him relax a bit. He plucks idly at the strings of what looks like an antique lyre. A couple notes of the theme to the Adam's Family. A few notes of the theme to Halloween ... the original, of course. Seeing some Japanese people he plays a little bit of the theme to Mirri Nikki. Then Why or why not from Higurashi. Finally he nods to himself, satisfied. He looks up and sees those assembled Grinning at the group, he plays a funeral march on his harp.
Oshi Shikigami: Oshi say, Hani, yes this is a relative from Japan. She happened to be here, for Halloween. And she wished to experience it Western style. SO I said I would try and help her to. She is Ai, and she speaks very little English, So I will translate. OK?
Ai listens seems to think, and smiles meekly, and says nothing.
Haninozuka Wang laughs softly and says a very broken "konnichiwa , watashi wa... Hani "he says to Ai bowing to her .it sound struggled but sincerely then he looks up at the other teen 'dude .. wicked tunage.. bet you can some highway to hell on that . 'he say approvingly ' love the Halloween and Addams family them . he nod to the girl 'cool costume "
Fiona Reinhardt looks at the cleaver head dude and the Japanese teen and her older friend maybe. It dawns on her from what the older woman says that the ghost might not understand her. She simply smiles at the ghost girl but eerily and then extends it to the older woman. The cleaver still pleases her as does the funeral march. She looks mildly at Vincent "Are we supposed to do something here or can we demand compensation from the locals now for being evil incarnate?"
Vincent DiAntoni nods, slowly at the kids speaking Japanese. "Um .... cool." he replies, then looks at the boy. "Thanks." he straightens a little bit in pride. He plucks some eerie notes out of his harp. "I think this is just the start." he replies. "I will play eerie music while you barter for peoples lives, Oh Queen of Darkness."
Oshi Shikigami: Oshi seems to be translating something, and then she stops and smiles. “I am assuming no one knows Japanese fluently? I so please say so soon.”
Ai listens intently, smiles a moment, then looks to be blushing, in spite of the white greasepaint, puts her hand up to her face, and seems embarrassed.
Haninozuka Wang laughs 'yeah I think we just go in and get our candy and maps and start this brains... I mean sugar feast.
Fiona Reinhardt shakes her head at the older Japanese woman "No I do not speak it. But do tell your friend she is an acceptable vision of death...poetic even. "She looks amused by the cleaver head "Shall we stew the brains or sauté?" She almost smiles at Vincent, almost "A groveling bard is my favourite kind...right next to a severed bard. What is the first location on this...map...you speak of Cleaver Boy?"
Vincent DiAntoni chuckles and flexes his fingers. He replies to Fiona, almost casually. "If you sever my head, who will play your music?" he arches his brows at mention of a map.
Oshi Shikigami: Well Hani, if you are going to make the circuit here, for all the goodies that are here in Cedar Point, May Impose upon you, to take Ai along with us? so she can see what this is all about, without feeling to insecure about it all? Oshi questions. Yes Fiona, I shall tell her. Oshi nods.
Tatsu Yume: Ai after listening to Oshi translate bows and looks embarrassed. But then looks up towars Hani and smiles.
Haninozuka Wang laughs softly 'i like my wrap in sushi .with sri cha sauce. ' he laughs 'Oshi, Ai looks beautighouly tonight 'he smiles at her and bowing .. He looks back to the Wednesday ' I’m the living dead... he laugh softly . 'I just wasn’t killed .. I think its in the cop shop' he nods and then says to Oshi 'yeah she more then welcome "
Fiona Reinhardt eyes Vincent's fingers "Surely you don't need them ALL?" Her tone is merely curious. She eyes the blushing ghost and her older friend before nodding to the Cleaver head "Then you get to prologue the beautiful agony. Let's see what's in here..." She steps into the police station for a moment and then comes out with a shrug and a map "I don't want the childish glow stick and pail...but this is the key. Apparently we go to the ....Cannery first. I do hope its fish heads."
Vincent DiAntoni makes a few micro-adjustments to the lyre, and looks towards the door of the cop shop. Once Fiona enters and exits he tells her. "Gotta keep my fingers warm." he tells her. "Everybody ready to go?" he begins to play Dear Agony by Breaking Benjamin as they start to walk.
Oshi Shikigami: Hani, Ai I think, would like you to "escort her" around the map? Is this something you are comfortable with doing? I am sure, if this is an imposition, she would understand? Please, be honest?
Ai looks quavering at both Oshi, and Hani. And then she seems to blush again, if that is possible with white grease paint on her face?
Haninozuka Wang laughs 'I’m dying to go .. and gorge.. 'he laughs softly he gnarls and chomping his teeth .. 'and we can bitching music to get sugar .. hope it rots my teeth more 'he laugh softly ' yeah . sure .. I know a little Japanese .. just some basic.. though I’m going to sound like a five year old to her .. 'He smiles at Ai.
Fiona Reinhardt holds up the map and points, overhearing the situation and simply says firmly "To fish heads...minstrel keep up." she begins to walk towards the cannery.
Vincent DiAntoni does manage to keep up, pausing once they get to he cannery to look in the box. "Ohhhhh boy." he intones and plays the funeral march again. "You might not want to look in there, Madame Fiona." he suggests, deadpanning.
Oshi Shikigami: Oshi say, well some is always better than non, I suppose. And, ... Who knows? Oshi leaves a rather dramatic pause with that.
Ai, looks hesitant, but after Oshi says a few words, meant only for her, she smiles, looks at Hani, and after a moment, smiles. And holds out her hand...
Haninozuka Wang: he looks awkward ... 'umm .. can . maybe ya just stay close.. 'he say .. a very basic toddler level Japanese to her .. 'he say softly . he looks up at Vincent 'yo.. harp dude.. whats in there.. severed heads or something " he says his cheeks flushed, luckily his makeup is covering it.
Fiona.Reinhardt steps up to the box of Halloween offerings and pulls out a can of salmon "This is unspeakable…. Onward......." She is trying hard to keep a straight face but giggles uncontrollably as she walks.
Vincent.DiAntoni snorts and moves on without any canned salmon. Entering the sushi place, he begins to play Why or why Not from Higurishi .. a very sweet and beautiful song from one of his favorite horror animes..
Oshi Shikigami: Oshi looks at the can of salmon, and says, the only way this could be better, is if it were fresh caught! I love tuna. By itself or mixed with other stuff, it rocks!
Ai, looks at the salmon, and she smiles. Then turns her head towards Hani and smiles again.
Haninozuka Wang walks up .. 'I know the Yamadas , they’re pretty coo; ' he say softly 'sugoi and give a thumb up to Ai . 'I know they gotta give good stuff.
Fiona.Reinhardt reaches into the basket and looks curiously at the Pocky "This is more acceptable. And the soundtrack is delightfully macabre." she smiles at everyone like she's just written down all their addresses for later murders and walks out to the next place.
Vincent.DiAntoni moves on without taking any poky. At the ice cream parlor, he begins to try the theme to The Thing .. tapping on the wood of the hark at the places where there re beats.
Oshi Shikigami: Oh my, I think something interesting may be happening?
Ai, swoops into Hani with an embarrassed! Silly boy! You did not see it was I, Tatsu??? Happy Halloween, my dearest friend! Look! Look and see. We Japanese do not look all the same! Shane on you! Tatsu laughs, and smacks him on the side of his head. And that 'sir' was for looking at another woman, even if she looks as good as Id o! She starts laughing until she is crying.
Haninozuka Wang laughs 'Dude I need some for my splitting headache 'he turns to Tatsu .. he looks at you 'what... 'he say 'ouch .. dammit ' he laughs 'when did we get married and when was i not invited 'he say pout .. he looking at you 'you little trickster. He points his fingers at Oshi an Tatsu'
Fiona.Reinhardt stares at a scene that appears it was some sort of rouse "Oh you do speak English...not that it matters in death." She smiles at the Cleaver boy and his apparent reuniting with a friend and nods to the older woman before taking an ice cream cone and standing possibly too close to Vincent. She holds out the cone and licks it, not in flirtation, but warning "The perfect temperature to preserve a cadaver. Again, good song...and onward...."
Vincent.DiAntoni looks at the strangers a bit oddly, and looks like he may be considering licking Fi's cone, then thinks better of it. He moves on. He seems a bit at a loss for music for the Chinese place, so he falls back on The Adam's Family theme, hanging back and playing for the people.
Oshi Shikigami: Hani, I will admit, that we planed this together. When she got approval, to come home on leave, we BOTH thought it would be a fantastic chance to see what would happen. I apologize, for any deception on my part. Oshi bows deeply and smiles. But Tatsu must have about two days of jet lag not to contend with. So I hall be helping her home real soon. She will be here for at least several days, so not to worry!
Tatsu Yume: And you mister, you passed. But only barely! So don't you go thinking about running around, while I am busy saving the world. And, a bit softer, I promise, I will make it worth your while? She winks.
Haninozuka Wang walks in licking his cone a bit taken aback .. thinking as he enter 'so what does this mean .. 'he say confused .. 'really .. um yeah .. sugoi .. ' he say smiling 'and I'm not .. the girls in here.. would be safe in a zombie apocalypse. he laughs 'well the one that wont leave me the hell alone .. he looks around blush at the other 'umm anything good.
Fiona.Reinhardt smiles for a second at her theme song and then death glares at Vincent so he doesn't think she won't still maim him at will. She listens in on the exchange between the two friends, or more, she's not sure, glances at the older woman and takes a candy "Hmmm...indeed.....We cross here...to that Chen's place." She points on the map and exits.
Vincent.DiAntoni moves across the street and by the time he enters the place is murmuring "Grocery store, grocery store ... grocery store ...." as if that will make him think of something. With a shrug, he plays the theme from The Walking Dead, knowing they SURELY had a grocery store in 7 years on the flippin air! He looks in the basket and sighs, turning around immediately. "This is a pass, Madame Fiona." he tells her before she can even look and goes back to the funeral march.
Oshi Shikigami: Sorry for the 'ruse' all, but we thought it would make Halloween, a bit more exciting? If not I apologize. We meant no harm. Oshi smiles weekly.
Tatsu Yume: "And yes Oshi, They almost all think we look alike, too. Tatsu says a bit sadly...
Haninozuka Wang laughs “Classic man . I love that show.” He laughs hard his cleaver wobbling . he turn to Tatsu an Oshi 'ill live . he smiles, peeking over them 'yeah.. Ms. Chen.. she is like AMC .. she is a character ..”
Fiona.Reinhardt looks approvingly at the musical choice and then at the Cleaver Boy and the rouse ladies "Look alike? Ghosts, well really it depends on the cause of death....some have more...parts left...." She looks at the crackers and then reads the note beside "Who is this Ushi? She's the cold distant mother of my dreams..." she takes a package and just skips out the door.
Vincent.DiAntoni arches a brow again at the Japanese people, clueless. He doesn’t remember meeting either before. Getting to the kids shop, he gives Fiona an apologetic look and plays the theme to Nightmare Before Christmas and hopes she will forgive him.
Oshi Shikigami: Oshi, says, well Hani, I do not claim to speak for Tatsu, on maters of the heart, Or Otherwise. That time has passed. Gods know, she can run circles around me in math, and likely much more. Oshi takes a breath, and continues, But she does have some good things, to share with you. However, If I can keep you in suspense, for just a bit longer? She has had almost two days of travel, to get here. Jet lag Pluss!. So let her get with you tomorrow, and get you up-to-date? She needs at least that... OK? Oshi smiles weakly at Hani. And awaits a response.
Tatsu Yume: Well, if I can leave him alone long enough, I suppose so. Hani? How about I meet you at the cemetery, when I get up? OK? Tatsu smiles weekly.
Haninozuka Wang stifles a laugh 'that’s one way of putting it and doesn’t take a package and just walks along .. he smiles at Tatsu bearing his teeth .. how do you do like my makeup . 'yeah totally get that rest all you need Tat.. we can like hang when your all rested 'he smiles again at her his hand trembling but extending out to her 'sounds great" he smiles.
Vincent.DiAntoni arches a brow again at the Japanese people, clueless. He doesn't remember meeting either before. Getting to the kids shop, he gives Fiona an apologetic look and plays the theme to Nightmare Before Christmas and hopes she will forgive him.
Oshi Shikigami: Yeah, time to get some well earned sleep Tatsu!
Fiona.Reinhardt walks to the cauldron, glancing casually at the two women, the ghost and the older woman and the Cleaver Boy as they talk. She gasps as she happens upon cauldron filled with every Harry Potter candy you can imagine. She gathers and then turns to Vincent "Minstrel a new song...as we march on." and she walks towards the hotel.
Tatsu Yume: I promise to share. My friend the priestess, she has some real neat tricks!
Vincent.DiAntoni approaches the hotel with trepidation, wondering if there are going to be gummy beds or something. But his eyebrows lift high to see the contents and steps back to play the theme to The Shining.
Haninozuka Wang: walking beaming like that cat that caught the canary . He sighs .. 'I love Halloween 'he laughs softly and follows.
Fiona.Reinhardt takes an anchor and nods at the music "Those twins...my lost sisters..." She looks at Cleaver Boy now "Does anyone NOT love Halloween? Of course Vincent and I come from a void where they don't understand..." She drifts out of the hotel with dramatic melancholy.
Vincent.DiAntoni looks at the Hatchet Boy and cracks half a grin. "She kissed you, eh?" he sounds mildly amused as he moves on. The bakery also seems to throw him, so he again reverts to The Adam's Family theme.
Haninozuka Wang looks at Vincent 'Yeah .. for the second time.. first time was on the lips for second . 'He spurts out ' Dude don’t tell anyone I said that.” He says widen eyes like he is in true terror .
Fiona.Reinhardt eyes Cleaver Boy "You could poison her if you don't wish to mate. It's efficient and fun at parties." She looks at Vincent, takes a cupcake and has a dainty little bite before turning with a bounce "Come along boys..."
Vincent.DiAntoni smirks a bit. "I don't even know you. Who am I going to tell?" he asks, not dropping a note. He tries NOT to follow Fiona like a lost puppy, but ... well ... he follows and arrives at the mayors house. For a moment he pauses again, but the map said this was the mayor’s house so he swings into Oh Canada, unable to think of anything scarier than politicials.
Haninozuka Wang look at Fiona “Dude I’m not even ..” He blushes. “I just don’t know if she wants us telling everyone about that its special.” He smile and waves at the mayor “Hi Mayor Douglas. "
Mayor Shirley Douglas smiles as the teens approach "Oh the big kids...look at you all. Let's see Wednesday Addams...I know that film, an angel complete with a harp....you're paying your toll already dear boy, very good....and you." She looks at the boy with the cleaver "Well that's positively gruesome but it IS the night for it. Now I do give treats to teens but for a song or a poem....the angel is set...but you two..." She looks at Fiona first and smiles.
Fiona.Reinhardt smiles sweetly at the mayor, hearing Cleaver boy address her. She gives a solemn curtsey and begins quoting a poem appropriate to her costume” I have a gloomy little spider; I love to sit down close beside her. She never knows where she has been 'cause all she does is spin and spin. My spider's quite a busy roamer, which is why I called her Homer. She loves to work and spin all day, and then at night she likes to play. Her web is like my mother's hair; her eyes have got my father's stare. She may not jump or twist or bend but a spider's a girl's best friend."
Vincent.DiAntoni continues to play. "I can't play for Fiona?" he looks nearly crushed, clearly a bit twitterpated. But he does offer her an option. As she recites he quickly catches on and plays Diamonds are a Girls Best friend.
Haninozuka Wang smiles “Well Mayor my singing voice is scary .. I’ll just recite my favorite poem from my favorite man Poe.. “ He clears his throat.
“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
Nameless here for evermore.
And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
“’Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door—
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber
door;—
This it is and nothing more.”
Haninozuka Wang bows dramatically.
Mayor Shirley Douglas smiles at them all "Very nice. I especially like the Edgar Allan Poe. Help yourselves and have a Happy Halloween."
