OL2: Trick-or-Treat Script Preview 2 (Patreon)

It's the great debate. Is Halloween about frights or delights?

Pure Text:

if mc scary costume:

qiu “You might be kinda creepy, [first_name], but mine’s the scarier costume.”

if contesting:

“How dare he!”

if mc not scary costume:

qiu “I’m the only one who’s even trying to be scary here.”

####

tam “So? Halloween is fun! Everybody is pretending. Nothing’s scary.”

qiu “What? Come on, Halloween isn’t Halloween if nobody is trying to be scary, and no one is getting scared by them.” 

tam “Are you scared?” 

qiu “No. But I’m somebody who scares other people.” 

tam “Then we’re the same. I’m not scared either.”

“Tamarack casually swung her arms side to side. Her bag and Santa hat flopped around. The goofiness of that sight made a lot of her point for her.”

qiu “I’m not sure Tamarack. It might be more frightening than you thiiiink. There’s a lot about Golden Grove you don’t know about.” 

“Qiu “ooooo”ed mysteriously and wiggled a bare hand at Tamarack. He’d left his gloves out of this look, despite the night being full of chills.”

“And not just the kind of creepiness Qiu was warning Tamarack about. It was cold out here!”

“Perhaps he was worried a bringer of death in fingerless gloves might’ve gone from ghoulish to coolish. And, as Qiu had said, his goal was to spook.”

“Either way, Tamarack glared at Qiu, unafraid of his costume or his challenge. Which was good ‘cause then she would’ve lost already.” 

“It was a battle between Santa Claus and the grim reaper; a confrontation of pure good vs. true evil.”

-“You could only imagine who’d be victorious.”:

-“You bet Tamarack was gonna win that game.”:
