[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?

Well, my magic doesn't really work here, but I'm trying to relearn.

Umm... I'm pretty sure there's probably people around here who would try to poison others with an apple. But yeah, the not rotting thing is probably magic. Especially if it's been months.

[onebadapple]

Really? I wonder why that is! How did your magic work back home?

All the more reason to keep it hidden then, I suppose.

[frogfear]

[Willow shrugs a little. She has a theory, but she isn't completely sure how valid it is.]

My magic mostly comes from the world around me. There's different magic here, so I don't have the same access to it yet. I don't know. I'm working on it.

Yeah, I'd definitely keep that apple hidden, or get rid of it, or something.

[onebadapple]

Well, maybe you just need to speak to the land here and ask if you can use magic from it instead!

Oh, I wouldn't get rid of it. I don't think it can be destroyed, only consumed. Then again, I don't know a thing about magic.

[frogfear]

I don't know, I don't think it's that easy.

Oh. Yeah, definitely keep it away from anyone else. That's really not an apple you want just anyone to find.

[onebadapple]

Well, why not ask? The worst that could happen is nothing, isn't that so? But I don't know magic, so I will believe you if that won't work at all!

Oh, it's not an apple I want anyone to find! I didn't want to find it myself.

[frogfear]

I mean. I guess it's worth a try?

Yeah, it's not an apple I'd want anyone to find either.

[Well. Except for maybe Snow's step mom.]

[onebadapple]

Will you let me know how it goes? I do hope you get your magic back!

[frogfear]

Thanks. Yeah, I'll keep you posted.
