The Great Pumpkin Detective.

[xp_wildchild]

So guys the pumpkin thing has been, well it kept me up last night, cause I found two in Shamu's catbed and man I REMEMBER reading Bunnicula and I don't need my cat getting bit by a vampire rabbit and anyway.

So uh, Amanda, Topaz, have you guys checked the pumpkins for undeadliness? Because I'm not saying, I'm just saying, that there's apparently this Romani legend about vampire squash. For serious, it was even in a comic.

Digger - it's pretty good, it's about wombats and dead gods. We have two copies in the library, and I've got a copy here to borrow.

BUT

guys

seriously I can't find any smells on the pumpkins and how did they get into my cat's bed? How did they get into people's showers? I'm not kidding I want these checked out before we pie-ize them so we don't all turn into vampire squash minions.

I've never read that and I don't know that I want to. But I'll second the "please make sure these aren't magical pomegranate pumpkins or something cause I'ma eat all the pies that might get made out of them and I'd really like to not get stuck in the underworld for eternity for eating delicious pie" vote. (I had six in the suite with Skittles and then I stopped keeping track.)

We should be good. Even if you do get trapped in the Underworld, we've got an in with several Norse Gods.

My cat spent all of last night cuddling with a pumpkin and is still fully cat this morning (unless her nibbling on my ankle is a sign of something more sinister), so they're probably not going to turn any animals into vampires.

There doesn't seem to be anything horribly sinister about the pumpkins though. And yes, I know I said that about the staff too, but people have been touching the things for over a day now and nothing's gone to hell. So I'm going to go ahead and say they're just pumpkins.

(Although we should probably wait to see if anything happens to Clint after he eats the seeds)

I am not your magical guinea pig, madame!

[x-topaz.livejournal.com]

You were already going to eat the seeds, what's the difference?

No magical guinea pigs have ever been hurt as part of my experiments, don't worry

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

It's the principle of the thing!

But yeah, no. The seeds were pretty delicious. And I'm not dead. Or raging. So.

[x-topaz.livejournal.com]

Not dead or raging is always preferable.

My job is done here. I take payments in tea and dark chocolate.

Just give me some warning if you start feeling all ragey - I'm writing reports at the moment.

No need to fret. There are no wombats involved.

I feel a science coming on.
