"Fastelavn" sounds vaguely like Mardi Gras (the same last-blast-before-Lent principle) at work here. However, I am delighted that they have replaced the black cat with candy. The poor kitty. ;_; Though Mal would certainly get a kick out of beating the crap out of a barrel, if she didn't decide to take a swing at one of the other children first.
("My buns," Mal said, hoarding them all as closely as she could and getting her princess costume sticky.)
Also, it seems quite unfair that adults do not get Fastelavn buns. Or do they?
Also also, you will be delighted to know that civilization has come to Vinland the New World; there is a trend in some places towards taking the kids to trick-or-treat during the daylight, because OMG WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN. (Needless to say, it never occurs to the entitlement-syndrome breeders that they should be, oh, I don't know, SUPERVISING their progeny.)
