So.  If you were going to try and scare someone half to death—-what would you do?

Also, please rate Actual-Crowley and my scares we did. If we got ya, I mean.

That is not what I had in mind...

(Then came the mention of spiders...)

WHAT!?! Don’t bring in the bloody spiders! I didn’t ask for it!!! Just count me out for next year. (As if his experience getting chased by giant spider-like creatures back home isn’t scary enough.)

cw: horror arachnid mention

[creepyoldguy]

Blood spiders! Brilliant!

Five stars, kid, thanks!


[Beetlejuice grinned widely.]

Next....year? [Eyebrow waggle. Who said he’d wait that long?]

Re: cw: horror arachnid mention

[phoenixwiz]

Just no, no, never ever, please. I just can’t handle all of these spiders.

(Thanks, BJ! You just made a teenager cry by bringing up more spiders, you heartless hack!)

[creepyoldguy]

Okay.

You said the spider webs were annoying. So, I’m thinking of ways to improve the fear factor, and you look like you’re gonna pass out just at the mere mention of my improvements!

Now, obviously, you gotta understand that’s like the best endorsement you could give a guy.

[phoenixwiz]

What’s the point anyway when you’re not being considerate towards other people’s feelings even if it’s just a harmless prank? (Sniffs)

I don’t care if you and Crowley decide to unleash an army of rats or a horde of Dementors onto the people of Main Street by next year, over time they will get fed up by your antics in a long run and people will get hurt whether you like or not. No one wants to get hurt over a prank, would you feel bad if either Lydia gets hurt by your own pranks?

Even my friends Fred and George would never hurt anyone when they pull pranks on others, for as mischievous as they are, at least they can tone it down so no one can get hurt and no feelings are harmed.

[creepyoldguy]

Okay. I’m awful with....emotions and....feelings stuff. So, I’m gonna be straight with ya kid: I don’t know why you’re upset.

No one got hurt. Lydia wouldn’t get hurt with a prank.

What’s the big deal?

[phoenixwiz]

Look, I just came from a war back home two months ago and there were lives lost on both sides. Someone was trying to kill me over a prophecy. I was not in a great place to be in. Plus, I had to juggle training and work to deal with. I never deal with such a prank of this level back home. They were mostly harmless but not mean spirited.

I see, but what if it had gotten out of control and bad things happen?

Look, if you are trying to be this sincere, then maybe you two should consider about the consequences of your pranks in the long run. Maybe you will learn that what is funny for you and the ghosts may not be funny for everyone else.

[creepyoldguy]

Jeez kid, they’d eat you alive in the Netherworld. Actual dead people don’t radiate that much woe-is-me. Case in point, the aforementioned ghosties and yours truly.

Whaddya want? To be treated with kid gloves because you still got a pulse?

Try to relax kid. Life’s too short to be that serious and mopey.

[phoenixwiz]

No, I didn’t ask to be babied around, just for you to listen to what I thought of the whole pranking spree. And next time, don’t act as if I don’t know any better.

I get it: life is too short, but it is too fragile to be insensitive of others, directly or not. I hope that you can just reconsider what you just told me now and be, I don’t know, less of an arse for Halloween. I am just trying to get you to see your actions and stop treating me like a child, but it seems as if you don’t care at all. Good day!

(And with that, Harry shuts his feed from Beetlejuice, he has no time to be lectured by a wise ass demon over how he should handle pranks on Halloween.)

[creepyoldguy]

He’d last thirty seconds tops before someone yeeted him into limbo.
