[Video] A Late Halloween Gift

[puubuu]

[When the video feed begins, Fattycakes is not on the screen. His voice can still be heard, though.]

Hi, everybody! Did you all have fun during Halloween? I know I did, what with the corn maze and our nice visitors! But there's something I want to show you guys. I went to the end of the corn maze, and I found something neat! Just one moment...

[Now Fattycakes scoots onto the screen. He is wearing a small toga and a laurel wreath.]

Ta-daa! I am Buulius Caesar! I don't know if many of you know who he is, but I know he's some kind of historical figure from my friend's world. I think I might wear this costume around a bit, even though Halloween is already past. I like how it looks! Do you like it? Puuuuuu? [He leans into the camera, then pulls away.]

Did you guys do anything neat for Halloween?

Ah... aye... I do. But I don't keep the feathers... that'd be weird, eh. I think. It'd be weird for me at least. What do you use the fur for though?

If you remind me once a month, I can put it in the wash with mine and my brother's things.

[Since he was thinking of getting Fattycakes scarfs for blankets anyway...]

[puubuu]

Okay, maybe I don't keep it that much... but sometimes humans try to make things with it and ask that I give it to them. I haven't seen those people in a while, though... I should find them and ask what they made.

Puu, okay! I will be sure to hunt you down and ask you!

[fierybluebird]

Sounds like fun.

[Laughs.] No problem, eh. So long as your stuff is small, it'll be nothing compared to me and my brothers, eh.

[puubuu]

I don't shed enough to make a blanket, so I wonder what they must be making. Good-luck charms, maybe? Puffskis are considered lucky in some places.

Well, of course it should be small. It needs to be able to fit in the door of my hut. I should have considered that before asking...

[fierybluebird]

Could be. There are some pretty strange lucky charms in my world too. [To say nothing of Marco's anklet and belt, okay.]

No worries, I'm taking that into consideration as well.

[puubuu]

Oh? Like what?

Puu, Marco, you're the best! If you were here right now, I'd give you the biggest bump of appreciation ever!

[fierybluebird]

Just really weird ones. Have you ever seen Ace's hat? And my brother Izou wears geta sandals into battle. Although I guess both of those could be seen as fashion.

[Laughs quietly.] No problem little matey. You're welcome, eh?

[puubuu]

Yeah... those are at least fashionable, not just weird. People have lots of weird superstitions about Puffskis. Like, if a Puffski with Pufflings lives near you, you'll have lucky children. And I don't know if drinking tea made from the Pura leaf is actually that good for humans even though they say it is.

[fierybluebird]

Eh, really? I've always been fond of tea... [But not enough to deprive Fattycakes of house building materials.]

Mah, hopefully your luck will rub off a little, eh? I'm sure this place could use some more luck, superstition or not.

[puubuu]

Hmm! Maybe I can give you some Pura leaves and you can figure out how to make tea from it.

Yes, I hope so! Maybe my arrival means good things for Luceti! Maybe.

[fierybluebird]

I would love to try that. But only if you have extra, eh?

You think so? I hope so too then!

[puubuu]

I should have some extra. They're the big leaves growing outside my huts. You can just come by and pick a few, if you'd like!

[fierybluebird]

I appreciate that little matey. I'll give it my best. Anyone else I should share the tea with?
