pfff voice testin'n'canon reviewin' (also looking for a home)

[notyoursmother]

Well you're awfully excited. Does this make me your official 'go-to' person whenever October rolls around? I gotta tell you, I'm really bad at scaring people. Maybe you should stick with someone a little more obvious like a ghost or zombie. I'm the last guy you want.

...And whoever told you that rumor about my face having the ability to shatter mirrors is a complete liar.

[yardbird]

Wait. Somebody actually said that about your face?

[Wow, rude.]

[notyoursmother]

Yeah. I've heard others say worse things but still...

[Now he knows how Eddie must've felt like. :/]

[notjustinthemirror]

You could always hit them with a crowbar.

Or pretend to be a mannequin and then slowly walk after them. But only when they're not looking. That one's my favorite.

[notyoursmother]

What? No! That's just taking it a little too far. I couldn't possibly do either of those.

[notjustinthemirror]

Why not? It's easy. You put the crowbar in your hand, pull it back and then swing it forward. What's the problem?

[notyoursmother]

Someone taking a blow to the body with a crowbar for no good reason. That's the problem here. And what's that going to achieve, huh?

[notjustinthemirror]

Well it would scare people.

You really do suck at this.

[notyoursmother]

What I-

[Wait a minute.]

Not that kind of scare! You can't just randomly hurt someone out of the blue. People won't get scared from that, they'll be terrified.

[notjustinthemirror]

Scared, terrified, now we're talking semantics.

[notyoursmother]

It's a terrible idea and I'm not going to entertain the idea any longer. It's complete crazy talk.

[notjustinthemirror]

If you think this is crazy, you haven't heard anything yet.

I was just trying to help.

[notyoursmother]

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll be fine on this one.

I don't know how you spend your Halloweens but mine is a bit more tame.

[notjustinthemirror]

[Tormenting people? Possessing TV's and talking to folks until they think they're insane? Summoning mannequins? It's a good time, really.]

Just gonna pass out candy then? Lame.

[notyoursmother]

[Sounds like something way too familiar for James.]

What's wrong with that?

[notjustinthemirror]

Waste of time.

Besides, I doubt that mundane of yours will let you waste a good opportunity like Halloween.

[notyoursmother]

Well I didn't have anything else planned besides that. My mundane is just toying with me like always. It's not like she'll follow through with anything.

[notjustinthemirror]

You never know.

She hasn't walked away yet. That's promising.

[notyoursmother]

I don't even want to know what's going inside that head of hers. The less I know, the better.

[notjustinthemirror]

That's a shitty way of looking at it. If you know how she thinks, then you'll know how to exploit it.

[notyoursmother]

Exploit what? Preempt what crazy scheme she is going to toss me in so that I know when to duck and cover?

[notjustinthemirror]

Or at least you'll know what to expect. Be prepared. You can't always count on demons in the dark willing to teach you how to use crowbars.
