DAY THIRTEEN OF MILGRAMTOBER WE MESSED UP FUCK I MEANT TO POST THIS YESTERDAY BUT I FELL ASLEEP AUEUEUEUEUUFIFUFJE

"Okay, wait, I have a pumpkin!"

"Let's try it! We probably can't split it, but Kazu can probably gut it!"

"Eh?... if you want me to, I can take the guts out."

"I cut the top! You just have to take it off and get the insides out!"

Sounds of disgust dissolving into excitement rattles through the dining room.

"Oi... What are you all doing so early?" Fuuta walks into the room, rubbing his eyes. "I can hear you while I'm trying to sleep."

"We're carving pumpkins!" Yuno explains with a grin.

"This better not be like the watermelon splitting..." Fuuta grumbles. "I still can't believe Kazui used his fists..."

"We were planning on getting some carving knives, but it was denied." Kazui shrugs.

"It's a weapon, of course, it would be rejected!" Fuuta huffs.

"...But, we still have regular knives, so we just dealt with that instead." Kazui presents the pumpkin, not yet carved, but its guts removed. He quickly wipes his hands.

"Why are you even doing this?" Fuuta stares before immediately responding to himself. "Oh, right. You guys have that Halloween thing. I guess that makes sense."

"Yep!" Yuno says, popping the p. "It's been really fun preparing for the Halloween party! I'm glad we got to carve these pumpkins!"

"Hey, it's been pretty fun doing this. Even this old man is having fun." Kazui grins. "You should try your hand at this, Fuuta."

"Eh?? Me?" Fuuta stares, extremely baffled. "If you don't get it, I don't really think I should be making Jack-O-Lanterns. That kind of stuff is for kids, isn't it?"

No one gives Fuuta a proper response, so he sighs and finally nods. "I did want to try it a little, so I guess I'll give it a shot." Fuuta walks over to the table as Yuno places another pumpkin down.

Mikoto looks at the two pumpkins and at Fuuta and Kazui. "Hmmm, you two should totally compete to see who can make a cooler pumpkn!"

"Pfft, well, if Kazui really wants to do that..." Fuuta says, crossing his arms with a slight smirk on his face.

"Eh..." Kazui looks around and sighs. "Alright, alright... I can give it a shot."

"Yes!" Mikoto pumps his fist. "Okay, I bet Kazui wins!"

"EH??" Fuuta blinks. "Come on!"

"For the sake of being fair, I'll bet on Fuuta," Kotoko adds.

"Sake of being fair– Does no one believe in me?" Fuuta looks around at the prisoners, who only give awkward laughs and shrugs. "Alright! Then, I'll show you all!"

Fuuta "rolls up his sleeves" (He honestly couldn't really due to the uniform's restraints being just tight enough to avoid it).

"Ah... if you're really going all out, then I guess I should, too." Kazui looks at the pumpkin and nods to himself.

Yuno looks around at both Kazui and Fuuta. "Okay, I guess I'll just be the referee here. Uh... on your marks... get set... go!"

Kazui and Fuuta immediately get into gutting the pumpkin. Kazui doesn't have that much of a reaction to taking the guts out, but Fuuta has a look of disgust on his face as he takes it out, looking like he's trying to not yell something out.

The guts are all taken out now, so Kazui wipes his hands on a towel and hands it to Fuuta. Fuuta takes it with a quiet thankful grumble and cleans his hands.

Both of them look up at Yuno, who blinks at the sudden attention. She grabs some knives from another table and places them in front of the pair.

They pick up their knives and start carving into their pumpkins. Fuuta licks his lips as he's carving, trying to make the pumpkin look scary. Kazui is silent, staring intensely at the pumpkin.

After a couple of minutes, the two of them look up again.

"Looks like two competitors are done!" Yuno yells with a small grin on her face.

Kazui and Fuuta nod as Yuno hands them some lights to place inside the pumpkins. They quickly do so.

The other prisoners wait with bated breath to see the pumpkins.

Kazui turns his pumpkin around. It looks like a standard Jack-O-Lantern with triangle eyes and nose and creepy grin.

Nothing too out of the ordinary, but still, everyone cheers.

Fuuta sighs, guessing he's lost, but still turns the pumpkin around. Despite the clear spots where Fuuta tried cutting in but decided against it, the Jack-O-Lantern definitely looks more creepy, with sharper edges to the mouth and teeth and eyes much more creepy with an carved out eye that everyone has no idea came from.

There's silence.

Then, everyone cheers.

Fuuta blinks, completely expecting no cheers.

Kazui claps and Fuuta can only grin.

Yuno nods, looking at the two pumpkins. "I actually... can't really tell if we have a winner, guessing by the cheers." She laughs. "I guess... everyone wins...? Sorry for the boring answer." She shrugs.

Even so, everyone cheers and pats Fuuta on the back or congratulates Kazui. They both seem really proud of themselves.

The prisoners all leave the two Jack-O-Lanterns in the dining room as they decide to go hang out somewhere else, talking about the Halloween party and their plans.

When Es walks into the dining room to eat, they see the two Jack-O-Lanterns on the table...

...and they're seconds from running out of the room, until they realized they weren't heads and were just pumpkins.

"...I hope no one saw that."
