Event 2005 1

Geez, the world of the living sure is a boring place when you've got nothing to do.

Excuse me. I need to clean that area. Can you move out of the way, please?

Oh, sorry.

Hey, you're in my way! I'm trying to sweep the floors here!

Right, sorry about that.

Ah, watch out! I just cleaned that area. Please, be careful not to get it dirty again.

Uh, yeah.

(I feel like I don't belong here.)

Renji, with all that lazing around, you're going to start growing mold on you. Are you planning to make a mushroom farm?

I'm not being lazy. I help out every so often.

Excuse me, please move.

Hey, lame-ass! I told you to move!

It sure doesn't look like you're helping much.

............

So, here's an idea, Renji.

Halloween is coming up soon, and I need some help stocking up the shop. Do you think you can lend me a hand?

Sure, I guess. But what's Hello-ween?

Oh, you don't know? It's a pretty popular event in the world of the living.

I'm sure places around town are starting their decorations. You should take a look around on your way to the wholesaler's.

Seeing with your own eyes is much better than me trying to explain it to you.

And not a word was said about what kind of event this is.

Oh well, I guess I'll go take a look.

Hey! Do I spy a wild Renji? Man, you look like such a punk, but I guess that's always.

You're...not Ichigo. Must be Kon.

Yeah! Surprised you could tell! I must have an amazing aura.

Or perhaps you're my secret admirer! Dang, it's a rough life being so popular!

Ichigo wouldn't say stupid things like that.

Seeing how you're in his body though, is Ichigo in Soul Reaper form right now?

That's right. And until he returns, I get to enjoy my moments of sweet respite!

But enough about me. Why are you carrying such a big load? Are you running away from the authorities?

Why would you think that?! I was just asked by Kisuke to go get some supplies for the shop.

He's going to start preparing for this Hello-something event.

You mean Halloween?

Yeah, that.

Pff, you don't know about Halloween? You're so lame! No wonder the girls don't like you!

Shut your mouth!

Then allow me to explain! Halloween is the day you get to see girls dressed in ooh-la-la and mmm-hmm cosplays in public for free!

Cos-what?

You know, you really need to study more about the world of the living.

Shut up! I'm still trying, okay?
