[The usual tall, dark, and haunted Victorian child is here at the feast. For once, he doesn't look completely out of place. The drab all-black from head to toe fits the intended aesthetic; however, he does stick out in regards to all the jubilant festivities.

Everyone is having a fun time, but he's instead lingering at the edge of it all, a purposeful attempt to be invisible. From under the hat, his eyes are people watching, and because of it, he turns his head to glance at anyone who approaches.]

[He has been a good boy for too long. Sometimes, you are immune to a lot of things, so you just test death and eat or drink whatever even if you know it'll wreck you. Just to see what it does.

He's had some of the spicy Grablenuts, and now remembers why he simply doesn't eat a lot of food. Rather than being spooky and ridiculous at the edge of the party, he has taken up lying on his back on top of one of the straw bales he's almost too long for, hat off and resting on his chest. He reaches out to gently grab the wrist of whoever is passing by with his pale hand, pulling them to see if they will sit on the bale next to him; the fingers look as if they should be cold, but they are actually quite warm.

He is really going to make everyone else sit with him in silence.]

[Somewhere around the bend on the other side of the corn in the maze, a croaky and old voice is speaking aloud, but slightly hushed:]

I think you've made the same turn too many times to count! Could've sworn we've seen that corn husk before... I didn't think you'd want to waste time getting lost in a pretend maze when you could try the real thing, hehheh. Maybe it'd keep that other voice quiet, huh...?

[Surprisingly, a crusty old man does not step out from the corn. Instead, it's only D, still annoyingly beautiful and still annoyingly in all black. He pauses.]

It's a dead end.

[For anyone who may want to bodyswap, D is here much like he had been at the start of the feast, standing and watching the parade.]

[Feel free to throw me random things you'd like to do! You can also hit up my plotting comment if needed, or pp me on Plurk (moetan), or dm me on Discord!]
