[those friendly ghosts! They dropped the Companion Cube conveniently right near the big ol' snack table, with its journal open in front of it. Isn't that nice of them?]

Oh. I am different, now.

I think I am ready for the Halloween.

I am happy.

Oh. Cups. I can hold those.

And books. And hats.

[hey, the Cube has a new paint job! How about that.]

[via journal]

You are different?

[my_six_hearts]

I am different.

I can tell.

[encryptedlock]

[Ooo. Curious Delta is curious.]

In what way are you different?

[my_six_hearts]

[good question there, D. It's gonna take a while for the Cube to ponder this question, before the journal picks up anything legible]

I...am ready for Halloween.
Ready. Changed. Dressed up?

Wybie said that Halloween was something to get ready for.

I wondered how.

Now I know.

[encryptedlock]

I am glad.

Are you located somewhere near cups to hold?

[my_six_hearts]

Cups. There are cups here.

I hope someone uses me.

I would like to be useful for this Halloween.

[encryptedlock]

I am certain you will be useful.

[pause] I would like to visit you in person; unfortunately, I am unable to do so at present. If you are moved far from your current location, will you please notify me?

[my_six_hearts]

[sorry, D. Cubie would totally answer you helpfully if it could]

I wonder if I will be moved.

I like it here.

There are cups here.

[encryptedlock]

[He tries. And hopefully that means the Cube will complain if it gets put somewhere without cups.

And he really can't have anyone else know what he's about to say, so he hopes the Cube can communicate via filter.]

[Weighted Companion Cube]

I may send York to find you tomorrow. He will be dressed as a pirate.

[my_six_hearts]

[it has only used a filter once, and that was accidentally. This reply is public, but I don't think you have much to worry about]

Pirate.

Pirate hat. Eyepatch.

[encryptedlock]

[He sounds pleased.]

Yes.

It is one possible costume that may be worn on Halloween.
