    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: Er....fine I guess
    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

    Agatha Macbeth: So you're a rasta alien?
    Eliza Madrigal: seems so
    Agatha Macbeth: Extra-terrestrial ganja and all that
    Eliza Madrigal: only on high festival days :)
    Eliza Madrigal: (kidding - kids @@ )
