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?

[Claire's still following the rules and sporting the Viking warmaiden look, even on the network. She doesn't trust the locals but she also doesn't want to tempt fate. She knows better by now.]

Not the biggest fan of Halloween, but I'm down to patrol to make sure everyone's in the clear.

Halloween at home was usually pretty quiet, but with October in Deerington being so crazy, I can see why lots of people aren't exactly big fans.

Thanks for stepping up. Hopefully we can make it a good night for a lot of kids.

Innocence is already dead here, but if I can prolong its inevitable collapse for a few seconds it's a good calling.

[frogfear]

That's the spirit.

[Or... you know, not.]

There's a lot of new people here too, so I mean, if we can give some people something to enjoy, why not, right?

[wiseass]

Why not is right. It's been a long time since I partook in any kind of Halloween festivities but if there are kids around that still have a sense of childlike wonder, who am I to slight them?

[frogfear]

Maybe it's a chance for some of the adults to join in a little too - you know, inner child it up and all.

[wiseass]

What's an inner child? I don't know her.

[frogfear]

Time to get to know her a little, then, maybe? Come on, I'm sure the kids would love it too.
