[Pfft, is half of the people of this world that dumb? First that kid that won't talk and now people who doesn't know what a jack-o-lantern is. Here have a grumpy hairy man answering you]
...That's a jack-o-lantern. It's for scaring kids at Halloween.
[raises an eyebrow at her outfit. He's seen all sorts of them before, but this is taking the cake. Will ignore the grumpyness because really, the half-nakedness makes it up for it]
Ya don't know what Halloween is?
[Thinks for a moment if he knows any country from his world that doesn't celebrate that holiday. Most likely she's from somewhere Middle-East or some forgotten country of Asia...]
It's a holiday where kids dress up to scare people and get candies out of them. It used to be to celebrate the dead.
[Sweet. You're ranking high on our list of interesting people of this world then.]
Mm. Halloween lost it's meaning with the change of generations
[He would know after all]
November 1st is the day of the dead for the pagans. T'was thought that the night before was the time where ghosts of the past could walk the land of the living again. So to scare the spirits away, people used to decorate their house with scary items. They would also offer food and drinks on their porch to appease the spirits. People took on to disguise themselves and go from house to house, asking for treats and threatening those who wouldn’t give them some to tricks like the spirits would have in the old days.
[raises an eyebrow at her words. His face might have softened. A little. Almost imperceptibly]
Candies are over-rated, but no kids, huh? How did ya guys manage to repopulate your world?

Celebrate the dead?
-=she looks confused, and a little sad=-
My world did not have children, or... candies. I do not understand how they can be used to celebrate the dead.

Trick... or Treat?
-=muttered mostly to herself until she answers his question=-
I... do not know. There had simply always been new recruits to replace the dead. Perhaps one of the Embryon would know better.

Yup. That's what the kids are saying at the doors nowadays.
[He cocks his head on one side, obviously interested]
Recruits? You were in the army? And who's the Embryon?

... Most of them at least.

Hm. And what about your...tribe? Are they here as well?
