Meanwhile, in the messhall...

[nocturnemission]

[Rejoice! For there is a table overflowing with a mountain of twinkies, all cheerfully bright yellow with artificial goodness!]

Hey! Where's the cream filling?

[But, alas, much like the soul of an emo goth cutter kid, they are all hollow and empty inside.]

Why does it matter?

[nocturnemission]

Because an unfilled twinkie isn't even half as delicious as a whole one.

[danceallknight]

I wouldn't call these delicious either way.

[nocturnemission]

These ones sure aren't, but the real thing is awesome!

[danceallknight]

They look unhealthy.

[nocturnemission]

Well, yeah. It's a dessert.

[danceallknight]

"Dessert" isn't synonymous with "unhealthy."

[nocturnemission]

Well it should be!

[danceallknight]

...

[nocturnemission]

You're not one of those people who hands out apples to tick-or-treaters, are you?

[danceallknight]

What?

[nocturnemission]

You know, some cute little kid comes to your door, dressed in his best costume and expecting some tasty candy...

And then you smash his dreams by giving him some stupid piece of fruit!

[danceallknight]

...we don't have that custom.

[nocturnemission]

Oh. Well, if it ever starts, now you know not to hand out apples.

[danceallknight]

Hn. What kind of tradition is that, anyway?

[nocturnemission]

It's to celebrate Halloween! Kids dress up and then go around asking people for candy.
