Shades of Autumn

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

Esther just arches a brow at his point, having a feeling she knows where it's going but not wanting to interrupt him. His excitement and general temperement would be draining if it wasn't so...nice.

With a small laugh - almost a scoff, but not quite - she nods for him to follow her, finally turning away from the damned cobweb-filled window.

"I'm not cranky, I just think it's stupid." After a sigh, or a huff, depending on how well you know her, "...Coffee doesn't sound bad though."

He giggles when she scoffs at him, satisfied that she listened to his rather obvious point.

"Yes, yes." He says as he follows behind her, a spring in his step. "I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself when the day itself comes around. I'll make sure of it." He nods to himself with certainty of this rather bold declaration. He can obnoxious and overbearing when he wants to be, in a good way. Or so he thinks.

"Ah! I almost forgot. My mother is coming over a little bit earlier to help me cook. Ester-san, do you have any special request for that night?"
