[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?

But it happens. So I'm not that unique.
[Which was oddly comforting. He was still coming to terms with a lot of how he had lived, the normalcy of it all when others apparently didn't have the same opinion.]
I will... attempt this strange treat giving.

I'm glad you're joining in.

[Well, he was going to try. He doubted his success.]
