About time we got a holiday of our own.

[temptationaccomplished]

I thought every day was something of a holiday for you.

[serpentinthegarden]

Yeah but... now it's got a flashy title.

[temptationaccomplished]

What an astoundingly clever title. Demontoberfest.
Quite original. Never would have thought of that myself.

Why not something with more of a traditionally occultist flavor, in Latin: daemon festum or daemonium pandemonium? Or since you're flying in the face of this world's religion, perhaps something in High Osmarius.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ If you were in the same room with him right now angel you would be getting such a look! ]

Pars fera.

[ Or something in High Osmarius which sounds and writes a great deal like Corsican? Crowley stretched his new language skills to come up with... ]

Festa di l'infernu demonicu.

[ Those lessons he was being forced to attend were gradually sinking in! But then he had always been good with languages. Made tempting people easier when you could actually talk to them.]

Nah! It's supposed to be a party! We don't need some snobbish name. All it needs is to tell people what it is and how many rules to break.

[temptationaccomplished]

Like pole dancing. In a place of education.

festa di dimoni scemi, more like.

Really, Crowley. There are students and faculty from other Magicacademies visiting this month. You could at least TRY to make this place look respectable.

[serpentinthegarden]

Why? Because the pie fight we had on our first day, sponsored by the Headmaster, was so dignified?

Besides Angel! They already have that stuffy religious holiday coming up with the plays and chamber music... I don't see the harm in having a day where we ditch the uniforms and dance around a few flagpoles.

[temptationaccomplished]

Ditch the uniforms?!? Need I remind you two, there are CHILDREN here.

At least the pie fight was wholesome fun, if a waste of good pie.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Children? Ok... well... that wins you a concession, Angel. ]

Not everything! I never said we would take off everything. But jackets and ties would only get in the way. You wouldn't want anyone accidentally strangling themselves if their dance gets too wild.

[temptationaccomplished]

Well, alright. I suppose. And don't be too lewd about the dancing or innuendo.

[serpentinthegarden]

Lewd in front of kids? It's just dancing around a pole.

[temptationaccomplished]

I hardly think you had Maypoles on your mind when you talked about pole dancing.

[serpentinthegarden]

No, but ribbons could be involved.

[temptationaccomplished]

Fiend.

[creepyoldguy]

It needed to happen.

[serpentinthegarden]

It was an oversight in the festival schedule that there wasn't one of these already.

[creepyoldguy]

Obviously.

What time do normal, non-goth kids, go to bed? Just for planning purposes, so we can crank things up a notch.

[serpentinthegarden]

Depends on how old they are. Six, for babies. This lot? I'd say eight or nine on a school night.

Anything after ten I'd say was fair game for as many notches as you were thinking about. Got something specific in mind?

[king_of_egypt]

.. It does sound like it would be a lively party

[Although there were some festivals honoring the gods that could get a bit raucous in his era, it was a different pantheon than the one here]

[creepyoldguy]

For the ones who are alive: yes.

[temptationaccomplished]

What sort of entertainment?

Also, wouldn't this be better suited as an October celebration? I understand humans have claimed that as a spooky month.

[creepyoldguy]

Good entertainment. I'll be providing some of it. Death Metal Ukulele.

Jeeze, don't you know that Oktoberfest is in September? And besides, the gods festival thing is now and the kid putting it on wouldn't go for a pole dancing competition.
So, my hands were tied really.

[temptationaccomplished]

My, what a combination.

I am well aware when the festival traditionally starts, having attended it myself more than a few times. [Read: He forgot and is a tad cranky about being corrected.] But Oktoberfest isn't quite the Bacchanalia you two seem to think it is.

In any case, of course Elliott Eleven did not go for "pole dancing"! This is a school! Not a nightclub!

Seems to me, your hands weren't tied enough.

[creepyoldguy]

Eh. Okay. There are a lot of ankle-biters.
Fair point.

We'll keep things nice and PG-13. Just murder and harmless age-appropriate flirting. Nothing juicy until the kiddles go to bed.

[temptationaccomplished]

Well, that's alright then. Carry on.

[bearshermark]

..Does it have to be on the same day?

[creepyoldguy]

Nothing personal, kid. Just some of us have a slight allergy to holy things.

[bearshermark]

You couldn't wait until the following day at least?

[creepyoldguy]

Nope! Wouldn't be fair to all us demons and other damned creatures to make us wait a day while you holy-rollers have fun.

You don't want sad demons do you?

[bearshermark]

[There is in fact, one whole demon he'd like to make as non-existent as possible.

..But don't worry, that guy isn't here]

What I want is to restore faith to the locals here.

[creepyoldguy]

Oh. Are you gonna make them think you're a god?
That's pretty cool, kid. Mad respect.
