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?

You need any help with that? I can talk to the people in my neighbourhood, anyway. Uhm, I'm in Gaze.

Exactly. Teamwork blah blah dream work. [He's being sarcastic but it's clear he believes it, too.]

That's a great name. I'm just Kyle. Uhm, so you were in the other place, the nightmare place?

Nope, not at all. But I've met a lot of people who did. It sounds like it was really, really scary. Not that this place isn't also creepy as hell, mind you.

Is it a relief not to have the worst October ever?

I haven't had a terrible time, to be honest. Like, I guess I was in a situation that could have been bad, but I managed to luck out and fix it before it got out of hand. Honestly mostly I've been studying stuff since I got here.

Yeah! Just pretty normal people. Although I haven't really gone to any of the seedy parts of town or anything.

Me too! I'm surprised I haven't seen you, I tend to notice other redheads.

You learnt anything really useful?

Awesome. I will.

Okay, point. Is it super rude to ask your blood type?

Yeah, same. But here, Darkblood. I'm sort of just informally keeping track so I can bug people about stuff I read about the variations.
