Time to find out how different a neep lantern and a jack-o'-lantern really are, I guess. I feel like such an American.

[Senior Jays]

So. [...] Does anyone have ideas for what we should do with our pumpkins? I can probably help with the knife work but I'm not really the creative type.

My first thought was Russian nesting dolls but with pumpkins. My second thought was can we make them look like minions. I'm not the creative type either.

lil baby matryoshka boos for each of us omg i call the teeny tiniest

SENIOR JAYS

[lachlangalbraith]

To clarify: are we talking pumpkins that have matryoshka designs carved in them that we can line up biggest to smallest or pumpkins that actually stack up like matryoshkas? [...] Because that might be difficult. Especially without magic.

Not that there's anything wrong with being ambitious.

uuuuuugh i stg idk how to do anything without magic. ok like i guess we could do the lineup thing but also they should all look like matryoshka versions of us bc we're hot and deserve to be featured on pumpkins

can we paint at least bc i can do the russian painting we got like hella russians back home.

If anyone else is feeling ambitious, I'm prepared to be ambitious. I don't know, could be cool to win this thing.

Riley, would you paint other people's pumpkins if they're... not great at painting?

Could make sugar skulls

Senior Jays

[lachlangalbraith]

[...] Sugar skulls?

Senior Jays

[sovain]

In Mexico they celebrate Dia de los Muertos (day of the dead) and decorative skulls area big part of it. They mainly look something like this

Senior Jays

[lachlangalbraith]

I've heard of that. [...] But I'd be lying if I said I knew much about it. Those designs are brilliant, though! The ones I've seen are always very colorful too. Would you want to carve most of it or do some painting too? [...] Not that I'm very good at painting, but it sounds like Riley is.

Senior Jays

[sovain]

Could probably do a mixture of both to really make it pop. I can help paint but I probably shouldn't be trusted with a knife.

Senior Jays

[riledup]

ah hell yeah let's slap some bright ass paint on some food boo

Senior Jays

[sovain]

Yeahhh gurl

Senior Jays

[lachlangalbraith]

I can help carve but I probably shouldn't be trusted with a paintbrush, so I think it'll balance out.

Senior Jays

[websterknox]

As a kid I'd carve things out of blocks of soap in the tub. Which isn't the coolest thing but now years later might finally come in handy.

Senior Jays

[lachlangalbraith]

You've been training for this day your whole life, mate! [...] We'd do things like this from time to time in Scouts and at home too, so I've got a good handle on it. Feel like carving some skulls?

[...] Think we should combine our original ideas? Nesting sugar skulls could be impressive.

Senior Jays

[riledup]

+ they should be based on our fine asses

Senior Jays

[lachlangalbraith]

[...] How?

Senior Jays

[riledup]

like sugar skulls have all these badass designs and shit on them so if we do a shitload then we can each have one that's like got shit on it that represents us

mine's gonna have big ol lips and blue hair and yours can have like a cute lil bird on it or your fave color or your hat

Senior Jays

[sovain]

You're so smart, Riley.

Senior Jays

[lachlangalbraith]

Ah, all right. I get it. So long as someone can draw all of that, I think we're in business.

Senior Jays

[riledup]

i can doodle like a poodle but if anyone doesn't tell me what they want ima go with my heart

Senior Jays

[lachlangalbraith]

I trust you and your heart, Riley.

Senior Jays

[websterknox]

That would be impressive! Definitely down to help carve some sugar skulls, nesting or otherwise!

[...]
[...]

[...]

Also fine asses?.

Senior Jays

[riledup]

all of us are hot af we tell the bluejay to screen for it so now we gonna celebrate it

Senior Jays

[lachlangalbraith]

I think that might just be for the girls' cabin, lass. [...] Sounds like a plan.

Senior Jays

[websterknox]

That did not come up in my sorting Nice! Can't wait for you to capture my hot af-ness in your painting!

Re: Senior Jays

[sovain]

Perfect

Re: Senior Jays

[lupofiasco]

Ah! Calaveras de az Sugar skulls are a great idea! Adding the color is perfect, too. I am excited to see what everyone puts on theirs!!

Senior Jays

[sovain]

Surprised I even thought of it, honestly. I've been pretty out of touch with my heritage.
