Yes, yes it does. And there will be a party of some sorts this year. I hope (I have something planned)

Let me know if you need help with the decorating. Do you have a theme?

(Have sent you a message....Forevermore and I have been discussing this, and have decided it needs to be done)

Um...well, tilts head love is a big part of it...

Love you say? :) So a bit like the Valentine's Day celebration on Earth, this time of the year. Hmmmm, I'd say lots of red and pink accents, heart balloons, confetti.... Oh, and chocolate.

nods Yes! Yes...a bit like that

Hey peepz! Are you ready to get ready for our annual get-together in the name of luuuuuv and mad science?

Always! It's hard to believe how far we've come. We should start planning the snacks...

Someone should probably pop on over to Half Baked and the Skeleton to purchase some zombie approved nomz. I know poop flavour is divisive, but most of our full-time zombie pals like classic blood and brain, I think.

Should we get some sea food? It's usually associated with summer, but shrimp is delish this time of the year. And fruit pies for dessert?

Yes, to appease our Zombie friends, I think we should get those...different flavours. We of course, will have the ones we non zombies prefer. I have a rather big sweet tooth, so anything sweet will be good.

Shrimp sounds delightful actually...and perhaps even some different skewers as well...

Well, I've done some shopping, and I've mostly got the zombie-appropriate table set up. The meat is all prime quality lab grown and allowed to.... mature for at least a month, or has been ethically sourced from hospital biohazard bins. (I know people with weird jobs, let's leave it at that.) We've also scored a huge shipping container full of abattoire refuse. :D The should be stumbling in the doors any minute now, and they're bound to be hungry after having travelled as far as some of them have.

((It says there's one of each, but it's just for visualisation. There's supposed to be plenty to go around of everything.))

I'll get around to the human-sensibilities table next.

goes through all the foods that are there You seem to have everything covered. I am sure our friends will enjoy them. I think you've gone and done the best way to obtain them as well. nods

It's hard to believe we've been doing this for so long now...

I’d be hard-pressed to pick if I liked Survival or Morostide more, so you bet I’m ready

Yes, it's been what, 11-12 years we've been doing this? It's definitely one of the high points of the year, along with Morostide and Masquerade. Of course I love Luminaire, Fireside and Vesnali too, but there's something about the first three that put them in a slightly different class.

Welcome to the partay! I'm sure you're hungry.

Alrighto! The human foods table is set. I got a variety of sea-related foods, such as sushi and traditional Delphi style dishes. There's also nice safe nachos, and unadventurous pizza, for those who can't have sea foods. And yeah, lots of different pies and cakes. :)

So good to see you my friend!

I think I am inclined to agree. This time of year bring back memories...just think, we may never have met had it been for the very first pandemics...looks over at the normal foods and chuckles Now, these are more my style... picks up a slice of Pepperoni Pizza and takes a bite Ouch! spits the piece into a napkin That's hot....

((Come and give him some pre party love!))

Ouch, that one came straight out of the oven! Maybe you should have some cold iced tea with that.

nods, and quickly grabs a glass, and takes a drink. That's better...

When I was down at the Skeleton to do some shopping, I kept wondering if this will be the year when someone will finally adress the Zentu in the room: Everyone knows that the shopkeeper is Anne's missing father, except himself and Anne.

It's an interesting thought....maybe a touchy subject?

Yeah, it's not really like you can just walk up to her and say "Large fries, please. And your dad is a zombie."

That would be terribly awkward, and I wouldn't want to be the one to do it. The fact that he doesn't remember her makes it even harder...
