My hyperactive brain at work.

Tonight's feature: Idle conversation with flidgetjerome inspires me, but in the wrong way.

We were talking about a pumpkin "carving" contest being held in our guild on Gaia:

voodoobob: I need to make one of these. I sort of angst, though. It'll be tough to follow any of the current entries.
flidgetjerome: :P
flidgetjerome: you're an awesome artist
flidgetjerome: all you need is a batshit idea

We then go on to lightly discuss a few possible ideas, I try to think of pumpkin designs... which gives me a totally unrelated brainwave:

voodoobob: DUDE
voodoobob: You know what would be the best. Halloween. prop. ever?
voodoobob: Some sort of crouching kappa sculpture, with the candy bowl in its head.
voodoobob: Possibly someone in costume.
voodoobob: Extra candy to anyone who can make him bow!
voodoobob: Five dollars for anyone who goes home and comes back with a cucumber.
voodoobob: Possibly a whole potluck haunted yard you have to get through before you even get to the kappa!
voodoobob: Oh man, I know what I'm doing next year.

Ladies and gentlemen, my creative process.
