[ So, following one of the best times of his life, Aden is feeling unusually energetic. Well, maybe not unusually, but still. Who knew being devoured by a naga would be so energizing?

Now he's in this hall that... well, it's pretty blank. Or it was. It's also really, really orange. Yes, the walls are apparently made of pumpkin. His coat's on the ground near his stuff, and he's carving into the walls. Holes, entire 'doors', and plenty of jack-o-lantern faces. ]

I could totally make a huge pie!

[because this is what Kira thinks of when she sees giant pumpkin bits]

[hallowedshore]

[He is arms deep in pumpkin right now, but turns his head to grin at her.]

You could make the biggest pie ever.

[daddyhasagun]

And custard, too!

... you'd probably eat everything.

[hallowedshore]

I eat this shit raw. If you look all this you'll turn me into a monster. I'll go crazed for pumpkin.

[He pulls his arms out, covered in pumpkin goo and flesh and seeds, and starts making his way toward her with them held out zombie-like.]

[daddyhasagun]

[have the very non-surprising reaction of squealing and flailing]

You better not goo me! I won't make you pie if you do! Even if you're a pumpkin zombie thing!

[hallowedshore]

[He's snickering. It's predictable, but effective! He drops his arms against his sides though.]

Yes you will.

[daddyhasagun]

... I might not!

[lies she totally would because she knows Aden loves her chocolate pumpkin pies]

[hallowedshore]

[They're totally his favorite food. Or at least in the top three.]

You will. You owe me.

[daddyhasagun]

Nuh-uh! I don't owe you anything, unless you're making something up to confuse me.

[hallowedshore]

Hey, I don't do that. Often.

[He cracks his neck, still grinning.]

Well, I didn't make it up consciously. But the crushing rejection you gave me in the dream I had this morning was worthy of a pie, I think.

[daddyhasagun]

... I gave you a crushing rejection in a dream? Did I tell you I wouldn't turn you into a zombie again?

[hallowedshore]

No, but I guess it's on the same level, as far as crushing rejections go.

[He flicks some pumpkin at her.]

[daddyhasagun]

So what did I reject?

[she squeals and dodges that]

[nagaxel]

[Axel's been keeping an eye out for Aden since then, and is happy to find him here, finally. he pulls up sharply when he sees (and smells) the hall, and then moves along it more slowly, studying Aden's artwork.]

[hallowedshore]

[Right now he's working on carving a skull out of a chunk of pumpkin flesh, but he turns to look at Axel when he notices him, and pulls away from it.]

Hey.

[nagaxel]

I am glad you returned at your proper sssize. I wasss consscerned about that.

[what is this mystery orange vegetable matter? he's going to poke it with his claws.]

[hallowedshore]

[It's his lifeblood is what it is. He bleeds this damn stuff.]

Yeah, I didn't think I'd come back shrunk. That was amazing by the way.

[nagaxel]

[gross. he carves out a little chunk and pokes at it in his hand before sniffing at it.]

...I am glad I could help, I sssupposse. What wasss it like?

[hallowedshore]

Fucking awesome is what.

[Is Axel familiar with the term 'fuck'? Aden doesn't know! Oh well, now he's excited and moving over to tell him aaaaall about it.]

It was like being eaten and slowly digested by a naga, I guess. Really dark. Sorry if you felt a lot of poking in there, I had to feel out what was going on.

[nagaxel]

[he's heard it, but isn't entirely clear on the meaning. anything that comes before a descriptive term is generally an emphasis, though!]

It isss alright, I am not unfamiliar with the sssenssation. At leassst you do not have clawss, and you were not trying to get yoursself out.

[hallowedshore]

[Maybe he can corrupt the naga into saying 'fuck' around his younger self.]

I guess that would put a damper on your meal. I tried to be easy to digest.

[nagaxel]

Well, thank you, you ssuccsseeded. Did you ah... hsss, find out what you wanted to know about it?

[nah, ninxel's got that covered pretty well. he taught baby Aden "dicks", after all. or rather, Hachibi did.]

[hallowedshore]

Oh, absolutely. It wasn't so much anything in particular as it was the experience. You have a shitload of ribs, by the way.

[He counted. Or tried to.]

[nagaxel]

Thossse are the... thessse?

[he gestures with his hands around his chest, back to front.]

A human who visssited my tribe oncsse cut open a sssnake for uss to sshow usss what we might look like insside. It had many of thosse boness too.

[hallowedshore]

Yeah, those.

[He taps his knuckles against his own ribs, and grins.]

I've cut open plenty of snakes, I knew you did already. But it's different feeling them up from the inside.

[Who knew eating someone alive could be this intimate, right?]
