Day 30/31: Purple + Happy Halloween

Egos Appearing: Dawktrap, Glamrock Dawko, Robbie the Zombie

Egos Mentioned: Darko, Poopet

'Robbie, can you put the knife on the table please?'

'But...Uncle Anti say it's fine-'

'I'm not Anti and I say put it down'

Dawktrap's vibrant purple eyes sternly looked at Robbie as the zombie child pouted, but did as he was told. Dawktrap then huffed.

'Good. I'll do the carving, but you can do the pumpkin scooping?' the purple man said, this time with a softer tone.

Seeing the anger disappear, Robbie blinked then smiled too, nodding, 'Ok! I do scoopy!' he squealed, running to one of the chairs that was dotted around the dining room table and climbing onto it. Once sat, he looked round then frowned.

'Where's the bright eye man?' he asked innocently as he watched the purple man pick up a pumpkin from the kitchen. Then he saw him freeze. There was silence for a few seconds, then...

'How do you know about Darko?' Dawktrap asked, a confused and slightly worried expression on his face.

Robbie, however, was still smiling, 'I saw him one time dragging a big dolly into the house! He said hello to me and gave me cookie!' He squealed gleefully.

Dawktrap turned round and frowned as he brought the pumpkin to the table; he knew what the dolly actually was-it was a dead body. Hopefully Robbie's new friend never hurts him.

'I see. Well, he's gone out tonight' he said calmly then shrugged, 'he likes to celebrate Halloween with your Uncle Anti.'

'They'll be back in a few hours!' a softer voice suddenly yelled from the hallway, and Robbie's face brightened while Dawktrap tried to shush the voice; Poopet was already asleep.

'GLAM GLAM!' he squealed excitedly, leaping off his chair much to Dawktrap's annoyance. He immediately ran to the doorway as Glamrock Dawko appeared, wearing a black vest, purple jogging bottoms and a hot pink jacket decorated with yellow stars. Glamrock smiled back and lifted Robbie up as the child got to him.

'Ey Robbie! It's been a while, how ya been?!' he asked excitedly as he carried the child.

'I good! I have pumpkin!' Robbie squealed then gasped happily, 'how was your trip?!'

Glamrock chuckled; he had just come back from a UK tour, 'it was a lot of fun, but I'm now very sleepy' he answered then tilted his head to the side and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep. He then opened his eyes and smiled as Robbie giggled.

'Ahem!'

The two looked to the one who had suddenly spoke up which was Dawktrap. The purple man raised his eyebrows, 'are we still doing pumpkin carving?' he asked. Despite his stern expression, his voice was soft and friendly.

Robbie smiled then nodded, wiggling happily as Glamrock carried him to the table and sat him down. He then drummed his hands on the table, watching as the two Dawko characters went to get scooping tools and pens and paper, his smile turning a little forced. He could just about see Glamrock's joy turn to nervousness as he interacted with the purple man.

While he loved Glamrock, he always thought Dawktrap was a little...off. Despite his soft voice, the eyes always look like they were pretending to be friendly. And he would sleepwalk strangely: Robbie had had nighttime conversations with him before and he'd noticed that the purple eyes were replaced with blue eyes, and his voice was different. But every time the child brought this up with Anti, the glitch demon had laughed it off.

'Ya just seeing things bud' he'd always say. But Robbie knew better.

At least he had friends like Glamrock and Poopet, and he was excited to tell Darko about his night and see what dolly he got this time.
