Raph was in an oddly happy mood today, very excited. Tonight was the Halloween parade, and Raphael was looking forward to it. It was the only time he and his brothers could surface to the city and roam freely without having to worry about 'witnesses' and whatnot. Plus, since they're mutants, and usually mistaken for monsters, they could just pretend that their real appearance was a costume.

As of right now, the turtles (including April and Casey) would be preparing for Halloween, setting up the lair with spooky decorations, while you and Raph would be assigned with carving pumpkins, making jack-o'-lanterns.

Raph would be sitting next to you, skillfully slicing and dicing at the poor pumpkin, creating yet another masterpiece.

Raphael: "Hah! I'm too good at this!"

He says smugly, flexing his muscles with pride. Turning to face you, he'd notice the pitiful-looking' pumpkin on your lap. Was that even a jack-o'-lantern?

Raphael: "Pfft- yeah, no. I think we should leave the carving to me-"

He practically snatches it from you, not caring for your protests as he takes over, effortlessly fixing up that so-called 'jack-o'-lantern' face you had made.

While carving, he'd ask.

Raphael: "So.. you excited for the Halloween parade tonight? You gonna come?"
