[Today, have a confused conman on your screens!]

-- okay, there. So!... network ... here's a question. If anyone could fill me in, that'd be great. What's this "Halloween" thing I keep hearing about? Because the only other time I've heard that name was around this time last year and laaast year, there were monsters. Big ones. So, uh, if that's

Halloween used to be a celebration of the spirits, sending them on to the afterlife, et cetera - but these days it's usually just an excuse to dress up in costumes, have a party, and eat a ridiculous amount of candy.

...what do you mean, monsters.

[Ohh he can imagine two people who's going to have a blast with the 'eat candy' part of the deal.]

Oookay. I think the church would be pretty angry about that if they knew.

Wait, you weren't here for the monsters?

[used_glare]

The Church.... got over it, after a few centuries.

{Shaking her head.}

No, I arrived on Christmas Day - and from what you're saying, that was probably a good thing.

{Video}

[greatbigrock]

Yeah, probably. There were these ... monster ... skeleton things everywhere and the pokémon were sort of like ... like the rest of you when your souls got sucked out, except more alive.

Best welcome ever. But at least the roads were easy to travel.

{Don't mind her, she'll just be staring at you for a nice long while.}

{And then, quietly,}

What.

[He rolls his eyes - not because of impatience as much as a sort of bitter/not at all remembering this fondly-gesture. It hadn't been a fun experience at all and it's probably pretty easy to tell.]

Yep.

[used_glare]

I... really hope that doesn't happen again. {UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR, FOLKS.}

{Video}

[greatbigrock]

Yeah, me too.

[VERY MUCH SO. He actually shudders a little at the memory - and hell, he'd only had Bicho at the time, and that the ONLY means he'd had of defending himself had gone lifeless and unresponsive like that ... the only thing he'd started to trust besides Miguel, too.]

[used_glare]

I'm sorry you had to go through that.

{She legitimately is. That kind of thing... well, it's sending shivers up her spine at the thought. Plus, she's kind of guessing that it would have been hell on both of them, with Missingno. running amok.}

[He looks up a little, and then tries to shrug it off. HEY, HE LIVED.]

Yeah, well, hey - everyone got out of it alive. Can't really ask for much else, right?

{Video}

[used_glare]

You're right, of course. As long as everyone gets out alive, it's a success.

{Which will apply so heavily to her canon update...}

{Video}

[greatbigrock]

Yep, I pride myself in being right.

[Let us not discuss saddening things!]

{Video}

[used_glare]

A character flaw?

{ As you command! And why yes, she is snarking a little. :V }

{Video}

[greatbigrock]

Not when I am right, don't you think?

[He is not snarking. He is right, you see. C:]

{Video}

[used_glare]

Well, just don't let it go to your head.

{Egos and all that~}

{Video}

[greatbigrock]

No need to worry about that. I am what you would call a realist.

[His ego is actually not too big.]
