[Romeo's face grins through the screens. It's been a pretty scary few days and he's been trying to keep his spirits up as much as he can and to help everyone else do the same. It had been pretty tricky though!

But then there had been a message on the screens and Romeo had gone to investigate and found the pumpkins, he knew what they were because he had asked when they had first found them on the platform! But he hadn't known you could make faces out of them!]

Does anyone's world have the tradition about putting faces in pumpkins? I don't think my world did! I didn't know what a pumpkin was before so I guess we didn't! How do you do it?

Also what can you make with pumpkins? They are vegetables right so we could make soup or mash it? Does it taste good mashed? Or we could fry it and eat it with rice or noodles. I'm not sure it would go well with fish but there's still a lot of fish in the store rooms.

I know it's not Blue teams time to cook but tasty food always makes me feel better so if anyone wants to come and have some food I am going to try and make something with a pumpkin and make a face with one as well!

[ Oh no, Romeo don't tell the Thief that!

Kaito blinks and the GRINS - it's a shark grin, the thief's grin, and it only ever means trouble ]

Reeeeeeeeeally? Like. Truly invisible? Can we move around like that?

[myblueskies]

Yes really really invisible! And you could move around. You would probably need to stay near me though!

[He has no idea if it would work if they weren't together and he's never actually tried to make someone else invisible before though he knows it is possible. Also some people might be able to see them, but Romeo has a lot of faith in himself and that's mostly what you needed to do spells. So that was good!]

[stealsyourheart]

Huh!

[ He says, and grins at Romeo ]

Want to use that ability to prank anyone?

[myblueskies]

What does prank someone mean? [He looked confused, it wasn't a word he knew. He didn't think Kaito would laugh at him for not knowing something though, he seemed like a really nice person!]

[stealsyourheart]

[ HORRIFIED PAUSE ]

You've never pranked anyone! Romeo, Romeo, Romeo... we need to correct this, stat! Pranking, my friend, is where you set up something to annoy someone else for fun. It can be anything - tinsel in their hair, dying their underwear... but it should never hurt anyone, and it should always be funny. Well. For you, anyway!

[myblueskies]

[He shook his head slowly, he had never pranked anyone! He doesn't know what it is!

Annoy someone for fun? Annoying someone didn't sound fun. It sounded like a sure fire way to get into trouble! But Kaito said it should never hurt anyone and that made him relieved, because hurting people was really bad!]

Don't you get into lots of trouble if you prank someone?

[stealsyourheart]

Well, that depends on several factors - one, do you get caught? Two - how good a sport is the person you were pranking?

[myblueskies]

So if they are a good sport they understand it's just a joke? [He nodded, so you had to prank fun people or other kids. Probably not adults or people who would get too mad.]

It sounds fun! [A bit naughty, but Kaito seems a good person so if he thinks it's alright it would be. Especially since it was never supposed to hurt anybody!]

[stealsyourheart]

Exactly! It is immensely fun. And if you can turn invisible, why it gives you much wider scope for setting things up!

[myblueskies]

[Romeo nodded, sneaking is definitely easier when you are invisible!]

It does! We could be the sneakiest!

[stealsyourheart]

You get it! [ He grins at him ]

I would suggest we pick Tony-san as our first victim, as I reckon he'd be a pretty good sport.

[myblueskies]

Do you think so? Is he not really strict?

[stealsyourheart]

Naaaaaaah. [ Kaito waves a hand dismissively ]

He likes to pretend to be strict sure. But I can tell. He's only trying to be strict coz he reckons he has to be the responsible one. We should help him lighten up a bit!

[myblueskies]

Oh! So he's trying to be strict but he's not really. [Because he's the boss. Romeo understands that, sort of.]

We should think of a really good prank then!

[stealsyourheart]

Yeah! But like. It's your first one, so we should keep it simple. Hm. Why don't we sneak in while invisible and like. Move his stuff around while he's there.

[myblueskies]

"Wouldn't that scare him?" Romeo thought. It might be funny but he doesn't really want to scare anybody...

He had an idea. "I think it's a good plan! But I think we best wait a bit because everything seems really scary at the moment with the singing and those inspectors. So once everyone is calmer it will be more funny!"

[stealsyourheart]

"Nonono, you move them ONLY A BIT. Like. He turns around, you pick up the cup and move it a few centimeters to the side. Or you put a tool under a paper. Nothing big. Just. Tiny little things."

[myblueskies]

"Oh so to confuse them more?" Not so they thought there were bad invisible monsters in the room. That was a big better! He doesn't want to scare anyone!

[stealsyourheart]

"Exactly! Tony-say is pretty smart, I'm sure it won't take long til he realises something's off!"

[myblueskies]

"That's true!" Romeo nodded.

"We can think of a fun prank then! But first let's put this in the game room!" He gestured at the pumpkin.

[stealsyourheart]

"We need a way to light it up from the inside too. I don't suppose you saw any candles, did you?"

[myblueskies]

"Not in the kitchen but maybe we can look in the store room! I bet there's some in there!"

There was bound to be, even if the train had electric lights!

[stealsyourheart]

"What would work best would be little battery powered LEDs." He sighs. "Less chance for starting an actual fire. But candles will do, if we can find em! "

He grins at Romeo. "Let's go put it in the room and then we can look for candles."

[myblueskies]

Romeo isn't sure what a LED is but he understands batteries and thinks he knows what Kaito is talking about. It's true that they don't want to set the pumpkin or the train on fire! That would be really bad!

"Okay!" He picked the pumpkin carefully up with both hands, making doubly sure not to drop it.

[stealsyourheart]

"Can you manage or do you need a hand?" Kaito eyes him partly in worry, and partly also in amusement - its' not everyday one sees a Jack-O-Lantern with legs, which is essentailly what Romeo looks like right now.
