Oh, Halloween's when you dress up! And get candy! Or play pranks.
Trick or Treating is what it's called. It's kinda hard to explain why it happens in our capitalistic society, where everything is a commodity, and no-one remembers why holidays existed in the first place! -she says that with such chirpyness-
But people don't see my face because... I don't really know why, to be honest! I think it's just part of me liking to be sneaky.

..oogh.
It's alright. He's been dead for many years. Unsure. No longer here.
(neglecting to mention that so has he...) (It remains placid despite this unfortunate development.)
(sketchy sketch sketch...)
I shoved a bunch of carrots up my ass, so I can see great in the dark.
...I read in the dark way too much sometimes.

Comes with the territory? Heh- what, are you part owl?
-oh if you could see the stupid smile on his face-
-Hely- Wouldn't that kinda... make it worse? I know I definitely killed my eyes reading zoobooks under my sheets as a kid...

Candy just from dressing up or pranking people...?

I'm not sure I get it...

-...OK, yeah, it's absolutely adorable.-
-Spirits in the nature around them?-
"I've never seen them before..."
-Neat. Little guys like this must be all around back in her world...-
-Although Aichi's pretty sure they're not back in his (Oh man, he hopes sweet little guys like these aren't back home... Not with the way it is now), he has to admit that it's nice seeing adorable little fellas like these.-
"...I can picture them being at home on Cray..."
-He'd definitely be able to imagine them being at home at Zoo among the Great Nature and Neo Nectar clans.-
-Perfectly home at a nature-filled place like that...-
-...However, Cray is in bad shape as well. Earth and Cray are linked, and since such terrible things are happening on Earth...-
-...-
-...It seems like the denizens of Cray are managing to pull together, even if the odds are overwhelming. Blaster Blade's still kicking, and that's more of a relief than anyone could ever know...-
-...He struggles speaking to the units on Cray now. His connection is weak, and while he's started recovering some of it (He can only assume that a large amount of the weakness is on his end of things) he still can't contact them for long...-
-He's not entirely sure what the state of Cray is right now...-
-...? Oh, Makana doesn't know what Halloween is...-
-...Well, Aichi doesn't know the whole story of it... but Brie pretty much summed it up.-
"It's a night when kids and adults dress up in costumes and get candy."
-...Well, there are also parties...-
"I used to partcipate. It was fun..."
-Even if it didn't really have the same impact as in other countries, Aichi did have a bit of fun as a small boy when the time came around. It was something small he could look forward to, as he was just like any other kid on Halloween (rather than a target).-
-...And then he'd get scared while out trick or treating, he'd cry and want his mom to take him home, Emi would get frustrated with him, and it all became miserable.-
-...He really wishes he hadn't been quite so easily scared back then...-
-...Although...-
"I think some people might prank others, but a lot of people just get candy."

-Brie- But that sounds mean!
-Looks to Aichi- And it's just... free?? That's weird... Kinda generous, but weird!

-Blinks-
("...I can see why these two stick away from people, then...")
-He decides just avert his sight back out-
...Pretty prankless tonight, huh? Then again, considering everyone lives here I guess there's not much reason to prank...
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's mean I could kill them even deader right now if you want.
...I guess not. Maybe my eyes are strong.
(they're... intense.)
That's probably it though I nearly did pour laxative into your shitty coffee supply to make it even shittier, stopped only by the last shred of my conscience.
...Thank you. Strange indeed...

-Well, perhaps it seems a little strange...-
"...I think it's a tradition. I'm not sure how it started, but it makes the children really happy..."
-...Or at least it did in his world.-
"...Their smiling faces..."
-...He misses that. It was something he took for granted...-
"..."
-He took it for granted in his childhood, his adolescence, and his short time of having a normal adult life...-
-...No, no. Stop it, Aichi. Stop it.-
"...Maybe next year I should try to wear a costume..."
-He didn't think it was a good idea to (if something happened it might hinder his ability to fight), but maybe it would be all right...-

-Ori has a drink in her hand and Kora has a glass of wine-
-Meanwhile, in the forest...-
-Something has appeared-
-A most nefarious trap-
-A...plate of spaghetti...under a box...held up by a stick...-
-What the fuuuuu...?-

Ohhhh...
-Tilts her head to and fro in thought-
Maybe I should wear a costume if I come around here next year too... I dunno what I'd wear, really! I only really got these...
