~ Chapter 1 ~
It is Halloween night, and the mercs are hyped
to go Trick-or-Treating, but Solly and Demo
don’t have any costumes to wear.
“Do not worry, little babies,” said Grand Duchess Heavy.
“I am wish-making fairy, here to make wish come true!”
With a wave of his pretty pink wand,
Grand Duchess Heavy turned Solly into a robot
and Demo into a pirate.
“Thanks, maggot! Beep boop!”
“I am Fairy Princess, not maggot.”
“Aye, thank ye Fairy God-Maggot!”
“I AM FAIRY PRINCESS, NOT MAGGOT.”
🎃
~ Chapter 2 ~
Tin Solly and Pirate Demo took their candy buckets and
walked to Miss P’s office. They knocked on her door
and yelled: “Trick-or-Treat!”
“Happy Halloween, boys!
You’re in for a treat — I just finished making these candies.
Would you like to have some?”
“Billions of bloody BLU stickybombs,
these are tasty and tangy!”
“Yessir, sweet like this land of liberty,
sharp like my robot senses on this night of trickery...
Did you make them from quality American-grown
limes, Miss P?”
“Limes? Of course not — it’s quicklime!
We’ve got so many sacks of it left over at the graveyard,
I thought I would try to use up some of it!”
🎃
~ Chapter 3 ~
Tin Solly and Pirate Demo took their buckets of quicklime
candies, and walked to the Doktor’s infirmary. They knocked
on his door and yelled: “Trick-or-Treat!”
“Good evening, Herr Solly and Herr Demo!
You have come just in time. Would you like to have some of these?”
“Beep beep boop, these are gloopy and gooey
like honey on my body!”
“Yae idiot, you’re not in Siberia!
They be organ-shaped chocolates, Doc?”
“Hoh, of course not — these are chocolate-shaped organs!
Enjoy them while they are still fresh, ja?”
🎃
~ Chapter 4 ~
Tin Solly and Pirate Demo took their buckets of quicklime
candies and chocolate-shaped organs, and walked to Monsieur
Baguette’s lounge. They knocked on his door and yelled:
“Trick-or-Treat!”
“Mon dieu, your costumes are PATHETIC.
I shall keep these fine wine gummy candies for myself until
you come back in something more presentable.”
The fine wine gummy candies were fine indeed.
🎃
~ Chapter 5 ~
Tin Solly and Pirate Demo took their buckets of quicklime
candies, chocolate-shaped organs and fine wine gummy candies,
and walked to the Engineer’s workshop. They knocked on his
door and yelled: “Trick-or-Treat!”
But the door stayed shut.
“Sentries and turrets,” said Tin Solly, deciphering the beeps.
“They must be keeping watch like good robot soldiers.”
“Out like a light,” said Pirate Demo, not really needing
to decipher the snores. “Been a hard day keepin’ them Spies
at bay, eh?”
They are sure the Engineer will enjoy those
fine wine gummy candies.
🎃
~ Chapter 6 ~
Tin Solly and Pirate Demo took their one bucket of quicklime
candies, chocolate-shaped organs and the last of their fine wine
gummy candies, and walked all the way to a castle at the other
side of town. They knocked on the castle’s old, wooden door
and yelled: “Trick-or-Treat!”
“Who dares disturb Merasmus and his secret, sacred rituals?”
“Enough with all that fruit, wizard!
Ya give me back me eye and I’ll give ya back yer peace!”
“And I will haunt your spectral ass with this spectacular
robot foot until we get some candy that is NOT made of
sour cream!”
“Fools, Merasmus has no time to deal with
evil eyes or cream candies on this eldritch horror night!
But since you asked... you shall have EYE CANDY!
Behold, eye candy everywhere! Ha, ha, ha!”
“... Yer charm is weak, old man.”
“Weaker than your sorry street-magic charms.
My super shiny robot hiney can perform better tricks than you.”
“Oh, you dare judge the great MERASMUS!
and his choice of questionable confections? To think I was
going to spook you mercenaries with a taste of these
MONOCULUS! gumballs (I made them myself)... And you two
turn up picking my powers and my pride into pieces
before the world can see what Merasmus is made of!”
“We do not care what you are made of, Merasmus.
Like we do not care why you keep wearing this stupid wizard dress.”
“Nah, we want tae see what these eyes are made of —
just in case you were trying to sneak me real eye in there!”
🎃
~ Chapter 7 ~
Tin Solly, Pirate Demo and Merasmus munched on the
MONOCULUS! gumballs as they walked back to the base.
The gumballs were chewy like jelly and crusty like cookies,
but they also exploded like chocolate bombs and that made
Tin Solly and Pirate Demo very happy.
And yes, they were even better than Monsieur Baguette’s
fine wine gummy candies.
