Room 031 [Video]

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[The video opens on a bed.]

[Upon the bed is a huge-ass pile of Halloween candy. Several of the bags have big MARKED DOWN stickers slapped on them. A lot of it looks kind of gross, store-brand candy that was probably discounted to BEGIN with. A shiny Venonat sits on top of the pile and nibbles on an empty packet of pop rocks.]</sub>

This is the best purchase I have ever made.

[Jin's look changes to one of mild confusion.]

What'd ye be dressin' up fer? They give it t'ye fer free if ye clean up all nice an' fancy?

[no_ufo_ending]

Well, kind of. There was a holiday called Halloween about a week ago and you had to go around to people's houses in costume--it's mostly for kids though. So once that's over, all the candy goes on sale since the stores want to get rid of it.

[thatsawiggle]

"Halloween"? An' people get all fancied up t' go round t' people's houses and get candy from 'em?

What sorta holiday 's that s'posed ta be? An' no one dies 'r anythin'?

[no_ufo_ending]

Wh--no? Usually nobody dies...it's for people to have fun.

[thatsawiggle]

Weird kinda kid's holiday, sounds like t'me. Humans're funny creatures, they are.

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Humans? It's been a while since Henry met someone who used to be something else.]}

I guess we are.

[thatsawiggle]

[Then the cheerful smile comes back.]

Still, ye prolly think demons're a right queer lot as well, aye, least from what I've heard!

[And you wouldn't be wrong.]

[no_ufo_ending]

Um...

_{[He wasn't sure if 'a queer lot' really covered the kinds of demons he's had to face. However, this guy, if he is a demon, doesn't seem to be interested in tearing his insides out.]}

I haven't met too many demons.

[thatsawiggle]

[With a smile like that? Nah, he's pretty cool.]

Bettin' ye've only had run-ins with the nasty sort, aye? Big ugly fellas- an' some o' them don' make a lick o' sense when ye try t' talk t'em, jes HROOAAAR this and GRRRRRAAAAWR that an' not a how d'ye do t' be heard.

's the only kind weak enough t' make it through the barrier.

[no_ufo_ending]

Yeeeah, that's the kind of demon I'm used to. They weren't very interested in candy or Halloween.

[thatsawiggle]

Well now ye met a different sort! The name's Jin, pleasure t' meetcha! Don' worry, I'm not one o' the human-eatin' ones. An' even if I was, pretty sure I'm human as can be now.

Well, 'cept these.

[He sticks one of his ears in frame - it's only vaguely pointed at the moment, but definitely not human. Maybe elven, but not human.]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry's glad Jin isn't the type to eat humans. That...would probably make friendship kind of a thing that couldn't happen.]}

Hi, Jin...I'm Henry.

_{[When the demon shows off his ears, the photographer leans close to the gear to get a better look.]}

Wow...I haven't seen anything like that since some people got mutated for a little while.

[thatsawiggle]

[One of his best friends is a human!! ...but yeah Jin is basically an overgrown puppy sry 2 say]

...'Mutated'? Well I dunno about any sorta 'mutated' or anythin', but me ears 're one o' me best features! See? Happier I get, they get all long an' pointy an' start twigglin' away! 'Course, this is nothin', ye oughta see me when I get t' seein' a good fight! Takin' off the ground all lighter 'n air, I am!

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Jin's energy is a bit much for Henry but at least he's nice!]}

I'm sorry, but I might have to start calling you Dumbo because of that. He could fly with his ears.
