Video; UN: Willow
[The feed turns on and Willow gives a little wave.]
Hi everyone. So, uh, I was talking to one of the younger Sleepers here about Halloween. She's never been trick or treating before - and I bet she's not the only one.
[She pauses for a brief second.]
Huh. I guess I should probably explain what that is - since we're all from different places, and I bet everyone has different traditions.
So at home, on the thirty-first of October, kids usually dress up in costume once it starts getting dark, and go around and knock on doors say 'trick or treat!' and people give them candy, or other treats. There doesn't really seem to be a shortage of kids around, and a lot of them are here without their parents - and there's the orphanage to think about too. I bet they've have never been trick or treating before in their lives, since it doesn't seem to be a thing here.
Anyway, I wanted to suggest that maybe we can put something together for them as a community - we'd need people to hand out candy and stuff, and probably people to make sure everyone stays safe too. I mean, from what I've heard, this isn't a regular Deerington October, but that doesn't mean we should totally let our guard down, right?
I figure it's probably a good way for anyone who knows about Halloween to get to do something that feels familiar for a night, and for anyone who doesn't know about it, it's a fun way to get out for a night and get our minds off... Well, everything else.
[Cloverfield's curse. She means Cloverfield's curse.]
So what do you think?

This sounds like a great idea! And a perfect way to spend my birthday!
I'll protect the kids but I want a 20% cut of any candy that they get.
That's fair, right?
no subject
Well, you know, some people at home used to give candy to the people escorting the kids too. I bet lots of people would give to you too, especially if they know you're suddenly a year older.
[Ruby, you don't really want to be taking candy from kids, do you? Willow raises her eyebrows.]
And if they don't, maybe I can recruit Oscar into helping me make a pan of brownies for you instead?
no subject
You think so? I always managed to talk my sister and friends into giving me a little extra. It's one of the perks of being the younger sister.
[When it comes to candy she can be pretty darn cut throat.]
Woah- Woah. Okay. If we're putting brownies on the table I will definitely take that offer.
Have you ever had Oscar's brownies? They are to die for.
no subject
[Sorry, Ruby, with age comes responsibility.
She grins at the mention of Oscar's brownies.]
Yeah, me and Oscar have made brownies together before - he really is a great baker.
