[ the way i have to google the origin and history of pumpkins for this ]

Hmm, I have not, no.

[i feel this deeply the amount of things i've had to google to see if they would plausibly exist in kb's vague time period]

All right. [a beat] Granted, I'm pretty sure these pumpkins are for carving, not eating...

Carving...?

they peer at it. ]

A ritual?

I'm not super familiar with it... [me like when did halloween start becoming popular in japan] But from my understanding, you carve a shape and put a candle inside, and it's meant as a decoration?

I see...

Would you like to try?

... Would you?

[uruha cannot say he has a personal deep interest in pumpkin carving but it seems like maybe the kind of thing saber would enjoy.]

I like to participate in the era's customs.

[ so yea ]

All right then, let's give it a shot. First time for both of us.

Let's find something to carve it with.

[ they are not using their sword on this bs. ]

[yeah.]

Let's see if they have any carving tools around here...

[ ok time to search!!!

guess they can also borrow a kitchen knife worst case scenario ]

[locations says there are carving tools so thankfully no kitchen knife is needed]

This should be good.

[ yaaaay

well, they will start out with cutting open the top. they may not know the tradition of making halloween decor but they know how to fuckin carve stuff. ]

[true they are SO good at this part]

Got anything in mind for the main pattern?

Should we keep it simple since it's our first time?

... a pig...

... A pig?

Do you know of the goddess Circe? She turns people into pigs... they're kind of cute.

Sounds... Greek, I think? [a beat] We can try a pig if you're confident in your artistic skills, sure.

[ pigs are round how hard can that be

but time to get to work... saber is very diligent... ]

[looking up pumpkin pigs is very cute actually but probably not what they're doing here

anyway uruha is also doing his best]

[ also googles. their combined skill level is likely not that high ]

Are these just for decoration?

[yea...]

If there's a deeper meaning to them, I'm not sure what it is.

It may just be something to do with the culture.

Probably. Well, I guess the "why" doesn't matter too much anymore.

No... I am just going to accept this current place is created for weirdos.

[ it's said so nicely though like they don't think this is bad ]
