video; spooky halloween psa

[Crane's staring into the camera with an intensity that doesn't dwell well under his skin. Though the clean suit he wears does a good job of hiding it well, nothing can conceal the irritation he feels under it. He clasps his hands together under the table then rests them imperiously on his desk.]

Why do you celebrate Halloween?

I'm just curious.

[He kicks back against his chair and plonks his feet on the wood. Whatever he was irritated by - rather, what he was disregarding - seems to have taken on better shape. He feels it draped over his face, coarse but warm and intimately familiar. It takes most of his energy to play a weak smile for the gallery.]

Don't worry about tainted candy, by the way. Razer bladed taffy apples? Lye-coated bubblegum? Cyanide-laced Pixy Stixs? They're just legends. Informal whisperings of unsubstantiated reports of contaminated sweets picked up in the course of trick-or-treating. Now, for clarification; I don't intend to claim poisonings never happen. A father laced his own son's candy with cyanide in order to reap the benefits of his life insurance, yes, but it certainly isn't a problem. As a matter of fact, the absence of personal stories highlights that clearly.

[He scratches under his chin.]

Here, of course, the bogeyman isn't even cyanide or toxic chocolate - though Hershey's deserves labelling as poison, honestly - but collective fear of a different sort.

[That's a topic he isn't acknowledging right now. He has every intention of discussing it with the class, but carries on.]

Has anyone here been poisoned by Halloween candy? I doubt it. And if you're scared of the possibility? Well, take it from an expert, October 31st is the most extraordinary day of the year you can be terrified of. You'll never experience another one like it till the next cycles round. So dare yourselves and do something special - be bold, knock on some doors when the day arrives. Eat some candy and-

[He tips his chin.]

Enjoy yourselves.

I happily support our community-driven interest groups.

In no small part because of the shrewd company I keep.
slightlyoffchilt: (Awry.)

You liked Dorian because he was unnecessarily vicious to other people, and his cruelty inspired either hatred or self-doubt.

Case in point: Kitty.
slightlyoffchilt: (Look.)

I have never bothered to hide my disdain for the man.
slightlyoffchilt: (Dauntless.)

[personal profile] slightlyoffchilt 2017-10-21 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
For my part, at least, I found it enjoyable to let everyone know that I disdained him.
slightlyoffchilt: (Occlude.)

You are defending him in a most passive manner. Interesting.
slightlyoffchilt: (Abeyance.)

[personal profile] slightlyoffchilt 2017-10-23 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmmm. [Oh, now he scents blood.] Is this your favorite line of defense?
slightlyoffchilt: (Mainstay.)

[personal profile] slightlyoffchilt 2017-10-26 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe someone ought to tie those sleeves up.

[Haha, a little straitjacket humor.]
slightlyoffchilt: (Subacid.)

[personal profile] slightlyoffchilt 2017-10-28 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Well. You already have rapport with Doctor Quinn.
slightlyoffchilt: (Consume.)

[personal profile] slightlyoffchilt 2017-10-29 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
As -- as well as your nights?

[He asked, incredulous, halfway believing that this was some obvious bait Crane had lined for him -- which, naturally, he took. Because you don't leave a line like that without tugging it.]
slightlyoffchilt: (Subacid.)

[personal profile] slightlyoffchilt 2017-10-30 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Would you care to go into detail?
slightlyoffchilt: (Mainstay.)

[personal profile] slightlyoffchilt 2017-10-31 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
That cringe-worthy, is it?
slightlyoffchilt: (Sartorial.)

[personal profile] slightlyoffchilt 2017-11-03 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
I felt it necessary to draw extra attention to the matter.
