What's up, Riverview?

[The feed turns on and there's April in her boring office, at her boring job for the boring government, being so incredibly bored that she's actually decided to do some real work. Who knew? Unfortunately, she's done about all she can do that doesn't involve actually interacting with other people, so she begrudgingly takes to the network.]

I'm April, I'm new, and for whatever reason, I get to do this now. [She points the lens at a new looking placard that reads "Assistant Director of Cultural Development." As she pans back to her face, she's still rolling her eyes.] I guess it kind of makes sense since I did a lot of this stuff working for the parks department back in Indiana, but there wasn't exactly a ton of culture going on there beyond harvest festivals, cult meetings, and farmers markets, so I might need a little input here. [She pauses, seemingly deep in thought for a brief moment, spinning her chair around slowly.] I'd say if anything, I'd really like to carry over planning meetings for any cults that might be interested in our city services.

I guess since it's going to be my job to help organize events and holidays and stuff, they'll probably want me to have a good idea of what everyone actually wants to see happening around here. [She wrinkles her nose, displeased at the idea of having to actually care what it is that people want, let alone hear about it. Maybe the people here aren't as horrible as they are in Pawnee, but she isn't holding her breath.]

My personal favorite is Halloween, and I don't really see why we should wait to celebrate it considering we're in a different reality, so my first proposal would be impromptu trick-or-treating, light mischief, and maybe a pizza party followed by some casual grave robbing. I'm open to suggestions, though.

Maybe not grave-robbing? If this place is anything like home it'd probably end with the dead rising from those graves to wreak a terrible vengeance upon the living, and that would suck.

Chutt chkutt chtt.

You're right, Tippy-Toe, it would end up being her responsibility clean it up because it was her idea in the first place.

[He chuckles] I don't know the kind of grave-robbing you do, but when I did it, it was hardly casual.
jolting: (W: Welp)

[personal profile] jolting 2018-08-10 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I can't say I've done it for fun before, either. Would you just put the dirt back in after you've dug to the coffin? At the very least I imagine you'd take pictures and maybe some light graffiti.

[You've already dug them up so more desecration can't hurt, right?]
jolting: (W: Wut)

[personal profile] jolting 2018-08-10 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm. Too bad the raccoon population isn't that high around here.

Ah... we are just joking, right? [Hey, he's robbed some graves, but it was for a reason]
jolting: (V: Ri~ght)

[personal profile] jolting 2018-08-10 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. Then I guess they can't arrest you when you do it.
jolting: (W: Whatever)

[personal profile] jolting 2018-08-10 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably.
jolting: (W: Think)

[personal profile] jolting 2018-08-10 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[He lets out a little snort] How about this: you propose a historical reenactment of the grave-robbing scene in Frankenstein. It'd go along with your Halloween thing.

Probably not as fun as the law-breaking kind, but you'd get the city's endorsement and people might have fun acting as me and Igor.
partiallysquirrelblood: (So...)

[personal profile] partiallysquirrelblood 2018-08-10 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, she tried. Doreen would probably let some squirrels know to keep an eye on the graveyards just in case, though.]

[Meanwhile. in the present, Tippy-Toe looks about as offended as a squirrel can look. Which is actually super-offended.]


I don't need animal control. Tippy's a friend.

Yeah, you could say that.

[He smirks a bit] Not into the waterpark? You can always wait for next month's festival.
jolting: (W: Casual)

[personal profile] jolting 2018-08-10 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Guess I just assumed you meant you didn't like this month's festival, and that's why you wanted the Halloween stuff instead.

It was actually around Christmas, but you're free to celebrate it all year if you want.
jolting: (W: Welp)

[personal profile] jolting 2018-08-10 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. Isn't it more fun for people to grab a shovel and jump in?

And I believe you were the one asking for suggestions. I just figured to help out with some insider knowledge.
partiallysquirrelblood: (One sec)

There's never been a documented case of a squirrel bite transmitting rabies to a human. Doctors don't even treat for it unless there's been an outbreak of rabies, and even tnen it's just precautionary.

[personal profile] jolting 2018-08-10 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that's what I meant about insider knowledge. Because I actually did this. Igor wasn't with me, but I don't really think people will care that much about being completely accurate.
