...and there she was. Her stunning azure eyes, those gorgeous rose red cheeks, the way she walked with her spring like tail bouncing behind her, those cute tiny floppy pink ears. What caught my attention the most was the way she strut around in that oversized pig costume. <b> "You should go talk to her!" My heart was pounding, perhaps from the amounts of barbarian brew I had already consumed. I did not dare speak to her, she was the life of the inn. Old men, young men, even children flocked around her for some attention. I knew my poor attempt at a costume would never gain her approval. After all, it was just a giant peanut with a hole in it for me to see. <b> "If you're not going to talk to her, then have another <b> brew, friend!" I quickly drank the brew and slapped my face to build up the courage to ask her to share a drink. This was going to be the greatest Halloween ever. I started to stumble through the maze of tables and chairs. <B> *CRASH* ...and there she was, covered in lime green from head to toe, eyes as large as pearls coloured like the sun, oddly cute breathing as I laid on top of her from the fall. Run! <b> "Again? Hopeless! You're going to miss your chance! <b> Another brew, on me my friend!" He was right, but now what? My mind was rushing. Which girl should I speak to? Both looked amazingly cute. By the time I collected my thoughts the brew had somehow vanished from the jug. It was decided, I had already met the frog princess, and I will pursue her instead! I stood up and straightened the peanut on my head, this was the moment, I feel confident! Navigating the maze of the inn once again, I twirl out of the way like a ballerina of a man who didn't notice me. ...and there she was, at the entrance door. As orange as the sun at sunset, a moonlike figure for a head... <b> "Wake up!" Water splashed on my face. Where am I? Huh? I don't understand! <B> *Laughter* <b> "P..poor k..kid, *chuckle* go get changed and rinse <b> yourself, you smell horrible!" My head was pounding, what happened last night? I threw my rags on the floor and noticed a piece of paper. <b> "x027, y016" Yes! Best Halloween ever! Wait... What! Where!? Which city!? I floated in the lake trying to remove the stench of alcohol, slowly my memory was returning, although it was cloudy at best. I saw myself speaking to the pig, then dancing with the frog and even sharing a brew with the monkey. Did I really? I haven't spoken to a lady since my childhood! Surely it has to be my memory playing pranks on me! My only interaction has been with the Deers and Horses in the woods outside of my farm. I do not recall the conversations or who gave me the parchment piece unfortunately, that will remain a mystery until the day I depart, but to overcome my extensive awkwardness and be able to approach a lady, I couldn't remove the smile from my face. It really was the best Halloween ever. Tadaeko | |
