THE AUTUMN MEME

It's that time of year again; Autumn.
Whether it's raking the leaves or running to Starbucks for a Pumpkin Spice Latte,

the season is back upon us and it's time to enjoy it before winter comes.

Scenarios:
Look at all the pretty colors - Maybe you just feel like strolling down the street and looking at all the leaves turning colors. Maybe you're shopping for something to fit in with the autumn theme. Or you could be setting up an easel to try to capture how the trees look like they're on fire. Just enjoy the turning shades.

I didn't agree to be in this movie - Yes, it's that time again, fog time. It can be creepy or beautiful or both and guess what? You're trapped in it. Are you alone? Are you at home looking out the windows, or stuck somewhere waiting for it to clear so you can drive? Maybe you're walking home late at night and the fog is as creepy as hell and was that the sound of someone sharpening an axe?

Something to warm the cockles - Coffee house prompt. You want your pumpkin spice latte and you want it now. Or maybe you want extra nutmeg. Or maybe someone made a pumpkin cheesecake and you want the line to move faster before someone gets the last piece. You're in a coffee house and there's coffee. Have fun with that.

I just raked that - Yes, it's lawncare time. You've been ordered to clean up your yard and make nice efficient piles. Or maybe you're strolling down the street and you happen to see a nice pile just begging you to jump in. Or push your friend. Or maybe someone's dog or cat is hiding in one and is ready to jump out and scare the crap out of you. Only one way to find out.

But it's only so many days until Halloween - Oh. You're one of those. The ones that love Halloween and start setting things up as soon as there's a slight briskness to the air. Well, time to go shopping. Or maybe you need to start setting up the decorations in the window. Or the yard. Or buying candy to appease the inevitable hordes. Halloween comes but once a year, so get ready for it while you can.

Wildcard - There are plenty of autumn activities to do. Make some up on your own, be it strolling with a friend or curling up with someone special and enjoying something sweet

[Hey there! You interested in our two PIs running into each other because they just so happen to be working the same spooky case? Toby here is half-fae and usually works within the faerie community, doing typical PI shit but also getting in over her head very much like Jessica herself. It usually involves murder and/or kidnapping nbd nbd

They could bond over a heavy drink or work the case together or argue about it... It could be a serious case or "my client is cheating on her wife with your client" thing. Whatever!]

[As promised, Kaiba kept track of the moon cycles and sure enough the full moon crept up quicker than expected. He shuffled into the coffee shop, scoping the patrons to see if Gabe was, in fact, waiting for him. He couldn't remember if he was early or not, more wrapped up in concern about what was potentially going to occur that night.

Werewolf. It sounded almost comical. How would he look if he did turn? Should he leave the minute he turned in case he became savage? No, Gabe wasn't the sort to place someone in danger on a whim.]

[ despite being Fire, percival actually finds autumn rather agreeable. the cold weather gets tiring, sure, but -- the views are pleasant, the wind is calming, and the colors.............

.... match his hair?? which means he just looks good on the background of gold and red leaves, ok. which is also a perfect time to take your gf out on a date and have her fawn over you. masterplan.

they've settled in for the day, landing on one of the nearby islands for a few days of a break. guild wars was tiring, after all -- not that he'd know, since he was slacking the entire time -- and the wind units deserve a rest. that said, he does want djeeta to spend some time with him, too, rest aside; so he invites her out to the nearby park, planning on a casual date and some sightseeing, just bc. ]

How do you like it? It's slowly starting to get colder, huh? [ no more skimpy costumes. ]

h-hewwo?

Boy person, boy person!

[ Falulu is so excited to have left the virtual idol theme park where she lives to help her friends prepare for this Halloween party. She offers this stranger a big purple witch's hat. ]

Put this on! Halloween is coming up, you know!
