[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

[so sorry, but the firefly with broken legs can't answer the door, so she just calls out from her room:]

I-It's unlocked!

[thirdeyeclosed]

[Koishi pokes her head in, looking around.]

Where are you?

[glowbrighter]

In my room...just follow the hallway. Sorry, I'd have come to the door but, well...

[thirdeyeclosed]

[And she does! Her smile fades a little when she finds Wriggle, though.]

Oh... um. Sorry.

[glowbrighter]

It's fine. How y'doin', Koishi?

[thirdeyeclosed]

I'm okay. How are you doing?

[You know, aside from the obvious.]

[glowbrighter]

I've been better.

[a weak smile]

If y'want candy, I think there's some in the kitchen.

[thirdeyeclosed]

Okay! [She smiles.] Want me to get you some? I bet that will make you feel a little better.

[glowbrighter]

That'd be nice, thanks.

[Koishi disappears for a minute, grabs some candy, then returns with... something from her own bag, actually. A full-size candy bar she got from one of the drone houses!]

Here you go!

[glowbrighter]

[she takes it, laying back and stifling a wince as her broken legs are jostled]

Th-thanks...I got a wicked sweet tooth, so I'll enjoy this.

[thirdeyeclosed]

Oh yeah, bugs like sugar, right?

If you want, I can come visit tomorrow and share more! I'm hoping to go all over town, so I'll have a ton of candy by then. I wouldn't mind sharing.

[glowbrighter]

Hey, only if'n y'want.

[she looks up at the ceiling, going quiet for a moment]

How'd ya...how'd ya make out when those freaks in the suits were around?

[thirdeyeclosed]

Oh, I stayed inside most of the time. But the house next to mine got hit...

[And... she's not sure if she should mention Satori, who is probably waiting outside for her right now.]

[glowbrighter]

Huh? What d'you mean, "got hit"? I haven't...had a chance to be on th' phones much, an' before that I was at th' hospital.

[thirdeyeclosed]

Grady and a bunch of guys in weird suits attacked a bunch of houses... everyone's okay now, though.
