[Yeah, Hector looks pretty annoyed. And...also very wet. His hair is plastered to his skull and his vest is completely gone. The red tie is still there, but also dripping wet.]

Okay, okay, okay. Look, whatever this Halloween that is coming up is, I get it has to do with scary things.

But! I am already a skeleton, si? So, why do I need to be 'scary'? Enough people have screamed to prove that.

[He gives a little grunt and hefts himself out of what appears to be a river, a bony fish tail coming into view as he settles on the bank. There are beautiful, colorful marks all along the fin. Spirals of bright green lined with petal like shapes of gold and purple.

At his waist are a pair of extra fins, just as skeletal but the bones are a completely purple.]

Can someone explain? Por favor?

[She guessed that answer would do. Though it just raised more questions to her.]

So, you're normally a skeleton then?

Re: [Action!]

[micancion]

Yeah, just a skeleton not...a fishy one.

[He gestured to his tail.]

But everything else? Pretty normal.

Re: [Action!]

[li_amaranth]

[She nods a little and just kind of studies him for a moment.]

...How does that work? I mean, how did you become a living skeleton. Unliving? Whatever. I'm just curious on the how.

Re: [Action!]

[micancion]

Oh, not alive at all. I'm dead. Trust me, but-

[He gestures to himself.]

This is what happens in my world when people die. We go to the land of the dead, so long as our loved ones who are still living remember us.

Re: [Action!]

[li_amaranth]

The land of the dead..? I've heard stories about various places like that all over the world.

But, don't think there are many that leave people like this.. Or work on remembrance..

[Li paused for a moment.]

...Though there was a land I passed through several decades ago that honored the dead with food and sugar skulls. Don't quite remember where it was though.

Re: [Action!]

[micancion]

Si, and well, I'm not sure if it is just my country.

[He snaps his fingers and laughs.]

Yeah! That's what we would do for Dia de Muertos.

Re: [Action!]

[li_amaranth]

Dia...de...Muertos?

[It sounded familiar at least.]

What's that?

Re: [Action!]

[micancion]

It's a celebration in my world. It's where people get together and they remember their loved ones that have passed on.

[He shrugs, a happy grin on his face.]

But it isn't sad. It's a gran fiesta, with music, food, and dancing. And even the dead get a bit of since people set up altars and offer the dead the foods and things they loved in life.

I hear it's pretty amazing.
