[ on Halloween night - or whenever Falco finds it next - is a green paper bag with a, um... slightly lopsided Frankenstein's monster-like face crudely drawn on the front of it. inside is a variety of candies and a few cookies in the shape of ghosts. these ghosts might look more like blobs, but it's the thought that counts; they're edible, at least! there is a note: ]
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! I hope no one tried to play a Trick on you this year, but maybe these Treats will make up for it if they did! I hope you're busy with some of your friends, Falco, but please enjoy these when you get back!! Have fun!!
[ halloween night was more of a wreck that both abel and falco could’ve predicted— he goes to bed early (or at least tries to) and would only see the gift come the morning of the first of november, from what the calendar and smart phone say.
falco is glad that abel can’t see his face for the time being. it’s certainly grateful and smiling down at the bag, the decorations and the sweets so carefully crafted in along with the note. and here he was, feeling saddened, and waiting anxiously for connor to come home. his first halloween was gone, and memorable in a way that stuck with some light feeling of dread.
maybe this should do, as he types the message on his smart phone. ]
Thank you for your gift, Father Abel. 👏😊 I didn’t go trick or treating last night but I want to reassure you that I’m going to enjoy these the best that I can. Maybe we could see each other sometime soon once Mister Connor is home. I’d want to tell you how the candy was, and about a dream I keep having.
[ sometime mid-morning, Falco is getting a text back!! ah to be blissfully ignorant... FALCO.......... ]
Fal~co~!! ✨ I hope you had a wonderful Halloween!! I would love to see you anytime, so you give me a ring whenever you're ready! Are you having an interesting dream? We can catch up and you can talk about anything you like! I'll be looking forward to it.
For now, enjoy your goodies! It will be Christmas time before you know it!! Start thinking about what you're going to ask from Santa!!!
[ so maybe a day passes before he sends a Brand New Message to father abel— one after he's had a chance to clear his head and work things out. ]
Father Abel? It's me again. [ maybe the dream can come later, ] If Mister Santa gives us gifts for being good, then who is the sir that breaks into houses and stones people with coal?
Wait, what? I think someone was playing a prank on you, Falco! [ some PUNK is going to get a talking to... ] Please don’t pay talk of anyone breaking into your house and... um, anything unpleasant like that any mind!! There’s only Santa Claus and he is a very kind soul!!! Ho ho ho!!! 🎄🎅🎁
[ wow who told HER this story and how did she get her wires crossed my god it'd be almost poetic if it wasn't terrifying ]
Um - I wouldn't say the same person, because that would imply that Santa Claus breaks into your house for some sort of dastardly intentions and he truly doesn't! He's a jolly and very good-natured spirit, Falco!!! Utterly pure!!! Wouldn't hurt a fly!!!
Well, you know what...? When it gets closer to Christmas time, there are usually a LOT of really good movies that will explain everything from top to bottom! What if we watched them together? And Miss Ava, too?
A hint? Really, you need another hint...? Hm, I don't know, it would be pretty exciting if we let the anticipation build until then, right...? Maybe I should leave it at that...
Oho! Every one? I see, I see... you know, you drive a hard bargain, but maybe I can agree to your terms. Do you like peppermint...? Candy canes might be hard to find yet, but I have my ways.
[ WHO KNEW FALCO READ ART OF WAR?? WHAT A FINE STRATEGIST... ]
No, though I could understand why you might think so! It's very mint-y. And delicious! They're red-and-white and shaped like canes. You can hang them from your Christmas tree if you don't eat them all first!
outside of Falco's residence, night of 10/31;
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! I hope no one tried to play a Trick on you this year, but maybe these Treats will make up for it if they did! I hope you're busy with some of your friends, Falco, but please enjoy these when you get back!! Have fun!!

I’ll let Ava know. Can you at least give me another hint?

I don’t know, I haven’t tried it before. Is it spice and mint at the same time?
