kestreldawnWHO: Jyn Erso & Veronica Sawyer
WHERE: DeChima & elsewhere maybe
WHEN: Mid-October
WHAT: Veronica confuses non-Earthling Jyn by trying to explain Halloween.
WARNINGS: N/A. Will update as needed.
With the month of October already half-completed, it's impossible for Jyn not to notice all of the strange .. decorations that keep sprouting up all over town. There seems to be a pattern of the colors orange and black, carved faces in strange orange vegetables that no one seems to eat once they've carved them, and an obsession with all things related to death: skeletons, things called vampires, other things called werewolves, and even other things called mummies. Jyn's mostly gone about her daily life ignoring the decorations and .. strange behaviors everyone seems to engage in, having no frame of reference for what she assumes is an upcoming holiday, but eventually gives in and decides to ask the only person she'd trust enough to ask about it: Veronica.
She's a native to Earth who's gone to great lengths explaining its strange customs and idioms to the space-faring residents of their shared household. Certainly she'll know what's going on.
When Jyn walks into the living room, she finds Veronica sitting on the couch, watching television. She walks over and plops on the couch, but instead of facing the screen, she's sitting sideways, focus on the teenage girl who's now giving her odd looks.
"What's going on with all of these odd - things?" she asks, vaguely gesturing as though that might be an adequate explanation. "Why is everything orange and black all of a sudden? Why are there crudely and inaccurately drawn skeletons hanging up on people's doors?"
