"I have only heard a little," he admitted. "It's a very interesting sound, though." Then again, of all the musically inclined Famine ponies, he had the least amount of musical ability. It was much like being half blind for other cultures, but he managed to get along well enough. He could at least admire the sound. "I do love the temperature, though," he added as he looked around.
All around were well dressed skeletons, both men and women, draped with ornate gowns and painted with flowers and vines. Even Precious seemed to get perky at the sight. "Fascinating," Fai said as a lovely Catrina fluttered her fan at them as she walked past.
There seemed to be a party going on, with men and women skeletons dancing in the street as a band played the mariachi music on the sidewalk. "Shall we dance?" Fai asked Fala. "I do apologize once again for my lack of rhythm, of course."

"Ah, excuse me," a tall skeleton said as he approached the two. "I do not wish to seem rude, but might I ask what two horsemen are doing in our humble town?"
Fai looked over, then up, since the skeleton was much taller than him. "Greetings," he said. "I am Faiyum Riaz, a companion of Las Vegas Nevada Scythe."
"Oh! Senor Vegas!" the skeleton said, his tone lightening. "Welcome! Welcome to both of you, we have been waiting for your visit! Please, follow me, your dwelling is this way," he say, motioning grandly to a large, creepy looking hotel. It towered over the other buildings in a grand fashion. "Tell me, has Terra sent word?"
"I have letters from her, as well," Fai said. Lowering himself to act as a delivery boy--it was appalling for a Horseman, but he didn't seem to care. "You know her?"
"We all know her. Oh, allow me to introduce myself--I am Rodrigo, the mayor," he says, bowing to them both. "May I ask your name, as well?" he asked, looking to Fala.

"A pleasure," Rodrigo said as he straightened again and led them into the hotel. A short, stocky looking skeleton straightened up behind the counter as he saw them. "Mandez, this is Senor Vegas's companion, all the way from Halloween Town. They'll be taking the Scythe Suite."
"Si, senor!" Mandez said, hopping off of his stool and coming around the counter. "Can I take your bags?" He was so short that he barely came up to Fai's waist. Fai didn't hesitate, though, he merely handed over the bags. "It's this way, senor, senorita," Mandez said, waddling slightly under all the weight of Fai's bag as he headed for the stairs.
"Can you tell me," Fai started out, "where we can find the best food in the town?"
"Oh, at Mamacita's, of course," Mandez said cheerfully. "She is an amazing cook!"

The stairs creaked as they headed up them, and a few ghosts peeked out of various doors and pictures, but Fai ignored all of this as he looked at Fala. "Shall we go to this Mama... something or other?" he asked her. "I'm sure it'll be an interesting experiment. I've been in several of the Halloween dining areas, they all seem quite festive."
Skeletons dancing, singing, and playing instruments was a norm in this world, he was sure. "Here is the Scythe Suite, senor!" Mendez said abruptly, stopping in front of a door with a music note hanging on it. "Senor Vegas and Rochester are our biggest clients," he added, bumping his way into the massive room. There was actually a front room area, with two chairs and a couch facing a television, and off of that room was a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom.
Mendez put the bags down and held out a hand. Fai looked at it before digging out some of those strange silver seeds and giving him a few. "Gracias!" Mendez said before racing away.
"So, food?" Fai asked Fala.
