[Action/Voice] (Due to mun fail of getting her days mixed up, this is forward dated for tomorrow XD)

[The other day Vash had been horrified to find every time he tried to leave the apartment he found his traditional jacket missing and a horrible sweater, pants, hat, make-up, and accessory in its place. Of course, like most, he first tried to rip it off, but of course that failed and now he's decided to just make the best of things.

So he's walking around town, checking out the Halloween decorations, with donuts shoved onto his new 'claw' trying to make the best of the situation. Eventually he takes out his journal.]

So... I'm assuming the forced costume part isn't a normal part of Halloween, is it? The decorations are kinda cute. Well, I guess if you like bats and spiders. The happy-looking pumpkin faces are cute, though. [A pause as he thinks it over.] So, what exactly is this holiday supposed to be about? [No really, he's confused. There's so many cute things mixed in with scary things he's not sure what to think about it.] Something about the dead coming back, so we get candy? How does that exact--[There's a sharp, and rather frightened gasp, as Vash suddenly drops his book and it slams shut.]

[Adell was about to give him an answer when the feed cuts out.]

Vash?! What's going on?!

[It takes Vash a minute to pick up the journal with one hand and to be sure the filter to keep Legato out is still up (what with the other being full of donuts), he's also being careful to keep his face out of the camera.] Nothing, I thought I saw something, just my eyes playing tricks on me.

...Maybe you should get some rest, man.

...But you wanted to know about Halloween, right?

[And Yuber isn't even trying to hide his costume (http://i54.tinypic.com/2envvp3.jpg) since he actually rather likes it. Oh yeah, and he's being a troll and the filter isn't still going to be there on his response.] It would be nice if this place stayed like this.

... Vash? What's wrong?

Y-yeah. [Don't mind him, getting over his scare.] I heard someone talking about how it's a celebration of people coming back from the dead, but are we suppose to be scared or happy? I can't really tell with these decorations.

[Sorry, Vash doesn't care enough to put that filter back up for you, as he puts it up more so Legato doesn't figure out who his friends are rather than what he's up to.]

I usually like picking out my own wardrobe, but the pumpkins aren't so bad.

[It will take him a minute to respond. After some careful flexing of his hand he'll be opening his journal again, being careful not to show his face.] Ahh... nothing, I just... thought I saw something. I'm alright.

Well, that's one explanation. Best as I've been able to tell, different cultures have different explanations. Though the dead are a common theme. On Veldime, at least, it's a celebration of a lot of things. Life, death, family, practical jokes, candy, and fun. Scares and starts are part of the holiday, but you're supposed to enjoy it too, if that makes sense.

I know it's kind of weird, but Halloween's supposed to evoke both. It's just the spirit of the holiday.

I think it's an improvement for you.

That's... strange. I guess everyone likes a good scare though if you're not really in danger.

So, it's kind of a celebration of both life and death? Plus candy? [The candy part he likes.]

Hey, it has it's uses! [Holds up his donut claw hand and takes a bite out of one of them. He refuses to get trolled by you today.]

Doubt that is the intended use, but then you are such a pathetic wimp that I should expect you to be an idiot.

Kinda, yeah. Some people celebrate the dead by scaring people, but I think most people realize that we're lucky enough to be alive to celebrate them in the first place. And the candy is a result of a tradition called "Trick or Treating", where people go door-to-door in a costume. The people in the house will usually give them candy as a treat.

Though in the Netherworld, you're likely to get tricked sometimes too, but the tricks are usually just silly things that everyone gets a laugh out of. If you expect it coming, it's much funnier. ...And many times they give you candy afterward anyway.

[Talking with his mouth full.] Buf iff a feat uff! ["But it's a great use!"]

I like the candy part. I guess it's not so bad as long as no one gets hurt.

That is just disgusting sounding.

[Swallowing his mouthfull.] Don't worry, I made sure the claws were clean first. [Because that's TOTALLY what you meant? Okay, Vash knows that's not what you meant but he'd like you to continue to think he's an idiot.]

There are some annoying practical jokes that often get thrown in at Halloween, but honestly, it's the one time of the year where you can count on demons not beating the crap out of each other because they're all too busy having fun.

...Can't speak for demons not in my universe, though.

I could see a couple demons here taking it a bit too far. [YUBER.]

Although, you have to be very careful when scaring people and playing pranks that it doesn't turn mean. Not sure I can get into all of this fake blood either.

Does that really matter? It's that sound that was disgusting. [Yeah, demon doesn't need to eat, so hearing chewing on the voice feed is not only going to be pathetic human weakness, but gross.]

... saw something?

It was nothing, mind playing tricks is all.

Sorry, I get excited and forget not to talk with my mouth full when I'm eating a really good donut!

[Slightly muffled voice comes in over the feed:] Are you seeing odd things as well, Frank?
