Everywhere we look right now, there's just tons of people I've never seen in my life…
It really feels like some special week's started!
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Ah, it's Lil' Shrimpy, and Sealie, too. Happy Halloween.
|
Grim
Grim
|
Happy Halloween!
Hehe. I'm already a Halloween pro!
|
Ace
Ace
|
Yo, you two. See you've gotten all dressed up for the occasion.
|
Grim
Grim
|
Ace…
You were so worried about us you just couldn't sit around and do nothing, right? Nope, no point trying to hide it!
Now, keep that attitude up as you do my homework and make my meals! Myahaha!
|
Ace
Ace
|
What nonsense is coming out of your mouth? Hey, don't rub up against me, your fur's gonna get all over me!
|
Choice 1: Thank you for telling the ghosts we didn't have costumes.
|
Choice 2: I'm happy that you told the ghosts about the costumes.
|
Ace
Ace
|
S'not a big deal, y'know? Me and Deuce were just joking about how it seemed like you guys were gonna have a bit of a lonely Halloween… It was pure coincidence! It was pure coincidence that we were in front of Ramshackle when we said it, too.I mean, it's not like we said it for your sake? S'just Halloween's something that everyone's supposed to enjoy together. Ruins the mood if someone's stuck bein' a sadpuss in the corner.
So if you want to thank anyone, thank the ghosts for making those costumes for you.

Jamil

Hey, did you guys come to see the Halloween Week celebrations?
|
Grim
Grim
|
Yup. We went round all seven of the venues and then suddenly it was lunch time. What were you lot doing?
|
Ace
Ace
|
Oh, we're just heading back from basketball practice. We finished early, so.
It's the first day of Halloween Week, after all!
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
The first years were so distracted, I'm not sure why we even bothered trying.
|
Ace
Ace
|
You're one to talk. Weren't you checking your phone all through practice?
You were worried about how Scarabia's venue was doing, weren't you?
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
That's… I just thought it was important for me to be available in case Kalim contacted me saying he'd messed something up.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Y'all really love Halloween, dontcha? To be fair, so do I.
So Lil' Shrimpy, whose Halloween did you think was the best?
Your answer's Octavinelle, yeah?
It's scary, and creepy, and the most Halloweeny!
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Don't scare them into giving an answer. Scarabia's theme is more sublime.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Hey, don't you cave in just 'cause they're older than us!
Heartslabyul's venue and costumes were way more in-tune with each other!
|
All
|
Right?!
|
Choice 1: Well, if you really want an answer…
|
Choice 2: Um…
|
I can't choose.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
What? That's your answer? You're so boring.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Man, it's difficult saying my dorm's better in front of your elders. Don't worry, I getcha.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Even if that were true, you haven't the foggiest idea what modesty means, do you?
|
Grim
Grim
|
You guys are taking this way too seriously. Don't need to get that upset about it.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Just say it. Just say that the skeleton costumes are the best.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
You don't have to be considerate just because Ace is your classmate.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Yeah, yeah. Just say Octavinelle's the best!
Choice 1 - You guys are way too desperate for me to give you an answer.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Of course we are. Night Raven College's prestige is riding on Halloween.
|
Ace
Ace
|
It's like the prof said. Locals of the island come to visit,
but so do those from outside, as well.
|
Grim
Grim
|
From outside?
|
Ace
Ace
|
Yeah, there's a ton of people that don't live on the island that come and see us.
You probably don't know, Grim, but this place is like, super in the middle of nowhere.
During the holidays, we can go home in a flash 'cause we're allowed to use the school's mirrors, but during any other time…
we have to get on the train from the nearest airport, transfer to a bus, get on a boat, transfer to another boat, then get another bus…
Seriously, it's such a pain in the butt to get to the Sage's Island!
|
Grim
Grim
|
We're that in the middle of nowhere?!
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
At least call it mysterious.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
That's why we're extra super duper happy when people come and liven up the place.
Events like Halloween or the magift tournaments help with the island's tourism.
If we put on a crap show, it's gonna cause all kinds of icky problems.
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Right. We can't hold back when it comes to any of the school events, for the sake of this whole area.
For the past few years, the number of visitors have increased because they're wanting to come meet Vil. The numbers are only expected to increase.
And what's more…
|
Grim
Grim
|
There's more?
|
All
|
We just want people to say our dorm's the best!
|
Grim
Grim
|
Why does everyone at our school gotta be so prideful?
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Everyone in each of the dorms has joined hands to make their Halloween the best it can be.
There's no way we'd want someone to walk by and be all, "That dorm was a little eh," right?
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Yeah, yeah. We gotta save face and stuff, y'know…
|
Child
|
*Thud*
Ow!
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Hm?
|
Grim
Grim
|
A little girl came flying straight into you.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Whoa, you're tiny! I thought a little fish had come up to try and tickle me.
|
Child
|
Eek! I-I-I'm so… I'm so sorry…!
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Floyd. You're so tall, you're scaring the kid.
|
Ace
Ace
|
He sure is. Floyd's practically double in height. Just imagining him towering over me is giving me the shivers...
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Whaaat, you serious? Sorry, sorry. Is it better if I crouch down?
…So, little fishie. It's dangerous for you to walk without looking ahead, okay?
|
Child
|
I'm sorry. But, um… I can't find it...
|
Jamil
Jamil
|
Are you searching for something?
|
Ace
Ace
|
Did you end up losing your mom?
|
Child
|
No, it's not that…
I was looking for where to go to say I finished the stamp rally.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Does she mean the place where you hand in your stamp sheet?
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Ah, I know where that is.
C'mere. I'll show you the way.
