#second cast trick

[welcome-to-the-second-cast]

These two would NEVER canonically have the chance to meet given- uh- different shows and the current situations in garden view/posy studios BUT- if they did, I think they’d get along. :]

[ TEXT UNDER CUT]

[ Gourdy: Like- getting a treat is nice but- people don’t give trick a chance!

Trick: that’s what I’ve been saying! ]

TRICK SHOP DIALOG:

Sooooo- you know how the shop keepers in DW all have gossip dialog and that-? Wellllllll-

I thought it’d be fun to write some for Second-cast’s Halloween main Trick given he’s also probably run an event shop!

Sooooo- uhhhhhhhhh- enjoy I guess lol- (text is under cut cause this post is a LONG one):

Entering shop:

“BOO-!!!! Heheh- did I get you-? I hope I did!!!”

“Happy Halloween!!!”

“Hello!!! Hi!!! Welcome!!! Have a look around!!!”

Buying costume:

“Oh!!! That costume’s a good one!!!! I’m sure you’ll get LOTS of candy in that!!!!”

“Getting dressed up-? Now- that’s the spirit!!!”

Buying toons:

“Oh! You want Coraline-? Ok!!! Just- don’t let her push you around too much- ok-? She can be a lil mean at times……….”

“Oh! I’d be careful with Skitter there! DO NOT TOUCH his candy ok-? Wouldn’t wanna get bit! That would be a NASTY trick!!”

“Oh!!!! You want me to help you out-!!!??? Wow- um- THANK YOU!!!!! I’ll do my best, pinky promise on that!!!”

Trick gossip dialog:

“Did you know I glow in the dark-!!!!!

Yeah!!! I have a lil light in me that helps me light up! Like- an actual real jack-o’-lantern!

It’s real useful when the lights go out on floors as it can help me see really really REALLY WELL!!!!

Honestly-

I don’t get why the other toons worry about me so much on those floors, I mean- like- THEIR the ones always bumping into stuff heheh-“

“Trick or treating is my FAVOURITE part of Halloween!!!!

Sure the other stuff is great too- but trick or treating is so much fun!!! Well- I mean- I’ve never really got to do it- least properly I mean-

I used to help the staff give out candy to trick or treaters on Halloween, which was really really FUN!! Especially with all their cool costumes!!!!

But-

I was never allowed to go out and run to different houses myself for candy……..and…I guess it’s too late for that now…….since the place is…y’know…….”

“Do you know Holly-??? Because she’s a GREAT toon!!!!!

I mean- noodle is nice as well- but Holly knows all these fun crafts and can draw a LOT of cool stuff!!!!

One time we ran out of paper, and Me and Ottaline got worried we wouldn’t be able to draw anymore

but Holly taught us how to make NEW PAPER from old boring documents in the office, I don’t fully remember how she did it, but it was really really fun!!!

And I mean-…at least she actually lets me help do stuff around here as well……”

“The other toons worry too much about me!

I mean- like- I can run those Decayed things around in circles as well- their not THAT scary-

Well- they are- kinda- but I’ve seen enough of them to not be scared anymore, least with the common ones…….

So i don’t get why I can’t help out!!! I mean- Ottaline gets too by collecting those note things for Heather and Anthony so why not ME-?”

“About me and Coraline-…..

I don’t know if we really are friends….i mean- the staff always said we were but she’s kinda mean to me-

Like- I like competing with her! I really do!!! But-…….

if I don’t wanna then she starts calling me names, saying mean things about me and acting all huffy until I say yes!

Like- that’s bullying, right-? Friends don’t do that…do they-? Holly and Noodle say they don’t! So is it….?”

“I wouldn’t try to take Skitter’s candy if I were you……

I mean, I tried once!!! Well- not on purpose- I didn’t know it was Skitter-

I thought it was one of the buckets made to look like them…like- the ones they used to sell in the gift shop!!!

So- I tried reaching my hand over for some candy and- you know what they did-? THEY BIT ME!!! RIGHT ON THE HAND!!!

It hurt a BUNCH….but- at the least their not a poisonous Spider or that’d be really really bad-

…or I don’t think they are-“

“I’ve been thinking…..

Maybe I should wear a different costume this year for Halloween- I mean- I ALWAYS dress up like a bat! So maybe it’d be fun to try something new!

Like a scarecrow or a zombie- OH! Or a werewolf!!!!

Or maybe-…

the headless horse man!!!!!

Although-….i dunno where I’d get a horse for that………”

“Pssttttttt I’ve got a secret but you CANT tell ok-????

It’s about Nora and dove……

They’re the Christmas and valentines mains but I don’t think they get along……

I mean Dove is normally really nice, but- she starts acting funny around Nora……

And once!!! Or- maybe a few times, I SWEAR I’ve heard them arguing with eachother!!!! Pinky promise!!!

Dove and Cottentail say everything’s fine but…i think they’re lying to me…and- that makes me feel kinda mad-

Because I’m a main too-? Right-? I should know this stuff- or at least I feel like I should-

It doesn’t feel fair-“

“Chicken.”

[welcome-to-the-second-cast]

Apologies for the delay on this one ya’ll I needed to grind out research on the Halloween event because I REALLY needed the main toon (Gourdy is my son fr, I swear-)

Speaking of main toons! Welcome in Trick everyone!!!!!!

….now I should probably start with a disclaimer for this one: Trick was NOT in any way inspired by Gourdy, he was made MONTHS ago so the similarities here are a coincidence lol- (there are also no plans to change/replace him just because of this as a heads up, Trick is here to stay.)

Anyway!!!! Moving on from that!!! Trick the pumpkin!!!

I originally had a completely different idea for this lil guy’s ability but given all the other Halloween toons have abilities that mess with the player’s inventory in some way, I wanted to do that for Trick too!!!

So- Trick’s (active) ability is selecting two toons and swapping the items in their inventories! (This ability cannot be used on trick himself and possibly not on Skitter as their inventories a bit weird-? Or at least skitter’s FULL inventory isn’t swapped just the first three items idk-)

Say someone is hogging all the healing items or your supports/distractors have none, trick can just swap inventories around to fix those issues!

Although as you can guess this can be used for evil as much as it can be for good so uh- swap responsibility I guess!!!!

As for the passive-? Maybe something like all item effects last longer when used-? Something like that-? Idk- lol- I’ll think more on it later-

[ BOO!!!! Are you scared-? Well Trick sure isn’t!!!

This brave excitable lil pumpkin is always up for trick or treating on a spooky Halloween’s night, especially with his friend, Caroline!

No matter the dangers or how scary things can be, Trick’s trusty glow helps to ward off the dark and help keep him and others safe while on the hunt for candy and a fun time! ]
