Agatha Macbeth: Hello Liz :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hello :)
Agatha Macbeth: It IS you I take it? [grin]
Eliza Madrigal: I think so... somewhere in here
Agatha Macbeth: Should i ask?
Eliza Madrigal: It began with an innocent attempt to plunder inventory for a halloween costume
Agatha Macbeth: Oh I see
Eliza Madrigal: seems I have accumulated odd karma...ahaha
Agatha Macbeth: What went wrong?
Agatha Macbeth: You have definitely accumulated odd something
Eliza Madrigal laughs
Agatha Macbeth: Are you sitting down? I can't actually tell
Eliza Madrigal: hovering
Agatha Macbeth: Whoa
Eliza Madrigal: watch this...
Agatha Macbeth: ok
Agatha Macbeth: Mm...cute
Eliza Madrigal: wonder why it says nobody is close enough to hug :(
Eliza Madrigal: not sure how to work this obviously
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe it's hug proof
Eliza Madrigal: hehehe
Eliza Madrigal: guess I have to face you
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, that will keep me going a while :)
Eliza Madrigal: Well how are you doing?
Eliza Madrigal: (hopes you aren't too distracted by the get up)

Agatha Macbeth: Think everyone has set their clocks wrong or something
Eliza Madrigal: how fine? I'll play Boxy... name five things :)
Eliza Madrigal: that may be so
Agatha Macbeth: How does Boxy get into it?
Eliza Madrigal: he's always asking for numbered things or games :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hm, can't say I noticed that
Agatha Macbeth: Strange
Eliza Madrigal: :) lots of strangenesses today
Agatha Macbeth: High strangeness perhaps
Agatha Macbeth: cos it's Samhain
Eliza makes a strange noise...
Agatha Macbeth: Pardon?
Agatha Macbeth: Thought a train was passing through
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Agatha Macbeth: I wonder what will happen if you sit on FC's poseball
Eliza Madrigal: we talked a little about the day of the dead this morning... guess all these celebrations hinge on all saints day?
Agatha Macbeth: Day of the dead?
Eliza Madrigal: yes tomorrow, in some cultures... Samhain in another?
Agatha Macbeth: Oh, never heard of that one
Eliza Madrigal: dia de la muerte
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, bueno
Agatha Macbeth: Actually that outfit DOES have a touch of mardi gras about it
--BELL--
Agatha Macbeth: Silly question but are you the right way up?
Eliza Madrigal: The medieval Goidelic festival of Samhain marked the end of the harvest, the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half". It was celebrated over the course of several days and had some elements of a Festival of the Dead. Bonfires played a large part in the festivities. People and their livestock would often walk between two bonfires as a cleansing ritual, and the bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames.[4]
Eliza Madrigal: (wiki)
Eliza Madrigal: I think so...
Eliza Madrigal: did you see the film WALL-E?
Agatha Macbeth: Ah yes, right
Agatha Macbeth: Er, no
Agatha Macbeth: Remind me
Eliza Madrigal: this is an Eve, but with a flower avatar over it, wearing a rasta hat
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, that makes sense
Agatha Macbeth: Well no, actually it doesn't :p
Eliza Madrigal giggles
