3rd

[Adding to the slew of trick-or-treaters is this girl right here! She's dressed in a long cloak with a hood, with eyes stitched onto the edge of the hood and rips in the sleeves. It's a simple ghost costume, but Koishi likes it

[Satori fiddles with her empty sleeve.]

I don't even like sweets.

[thirdeyeclosed]

Even so! You can help me scare people if they don't give us any. That's what you're supposed to do, I think.

[wondering_eye]

...That will certainly be easy, won't it.

[thirdeyeclosed]

Uh-huh! Even though these costumes aren't really creepy, I bet it'll still be pretty easy.

[wondering_eye]

...The costumes, right.

[thirdeyeclosed]

... What's wrong?

[wondering_eye]

Nothing.

[Of course she's lying - it bothers her that her sister expects her to scare people, even though she knows there's no harm meant by it.]

[thirdeyeclosed]

[Headtilt.]

You sure?

[wondering_eye]

Yes, I'm sure, Koishi.

[thirdeyeclosed]

... I can tell when you're lying, y'know.

[wondering_eye]

This sort of thing...isn't what I'm accustomed to, that's all.

[thirdeyeclosed]

Oh.

[... Ooooh now she gets it. And her hand may be holding Satori's a little tighter now.]

It's not gunna be like back home.

[wondering_eye]

...Well, maybe you're right. It's some sort of holiday today, isn't it?

[thirdeyeclosed]

Uh-huh. Apparently humans want to be scared on this holiday... so I guess it's okay.

[wondering_eye]

If it's okay for one day, then it should be okay every day.

[She sighs.]

I'm done being unpleasant now. Let's try to have a good time, alright, Koishi?

[Though really, she's only saying that for her own benefit.]

[thirdeyeclosed]

Alright!

[And her bright smile is back! But when she starts heading down the street again, she may be just a little gentler in dragging her sister along.]
