"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."



Today happens to be Occult Day. This, I assume, is a holiday intended to celebrate mysteries and other secrets unknown to most of the world. If you've been meaning to have your palm read or pull out the old Ouija board, today's the day to do it!

These posts about arcane holidays, which are a TAG tradition I'm trying to maintain as much as possible, make me wonder what some of the more interesting students at Holiday Island High School might be like. Would Occult Day hang out with Halloween and Devil's Night or would he/she be more of a loner, smirking at everyone because he/she knows something they don't? There have been a few fanfics about lesser-known holidays, most notably TAG's A Hard Days' Night, but what do you guys think?

Post any thoughts in the comments if you like.

Occult Day could be a smug smirker that hangs out with Halloween and Devil's Night. S/he doesn't have to be a loner to be smug.

Well, sure, but if you're a smug smirker long enough then I suspect you eventually become a loner involuntarily. :)

This reminds me of R. Crumb's Snoid snickering while saying: 'And there I was, laughing at you again."
