[ Soul looks worse for the wear when he appears on the network. This isn't unusual, as of late - he's spent most of September looking like that. But what's different is that he has a big grin on his face, not often seen by anyone here yet. Except, of course, people from home. ]

So, August sucked. September kinda sucked for a lot of people too, and even those who it didn't probably need a break So it's good that we're nearing the end of September, yeah? Because we're almost to October.

[ That is super obvious but whatever. Even cool guys state the obvious sometimes. ]

October rules. We get to spend all month preparing for the biggest party of the year and the general atmosphere is nice. I know some of you might not even know what Halloween is. [ He imagines there's worlds where it doesn't exist, as sad as that makes him. ] If you don't, it's a great time where for one night, we all get to dress up as the coolest things we can think of and pretend. We get candy and treats and play pranks, too.

So this is a general PSA. If September sucked, October is gonna give you great things. Let's all be prepared and try our best to make it awesome, yeah? All this war stuff will ruin it if we let it.

[ October makes Soul optimistic. How odd. ]

[Arthur still thinks the phones are just magic bricks, but he's kind of getting used to them. ...His video feed might be upside down. He's not sure how he did that, he just pushed some buttons. No wonder he was never allowed to touch anything that still lit up, in the ruins...

Anyway. Party sounds good, costumes sound better, he's on board by the time treats come out, and pranks just seals the deal. Who invented this Halloween thing? They are clearly the closest anyone has ever come to actually being an angel. But first thing is first - when the heck is this?]

What's an October? How soon do we get to do the Halloween thing? It sounds awesome!

I haven't done anythin' for Halloween since I was a little kid. Dad would hold a party for the local kids after school and I got stuck helpin' but that was really all I ever did. I was never old enough to go to the big parties downtown.

So what kinda party is this one gonna be?

Still haven't given up on that October thing, huh?

[ Black*Star's more cheerful than usual, too. Soul's been in love with the fall ever since they were kids and it's nice to see that things never change, no matter what world you're from. ]

See, me and a couple'a people have been talking.

There's gonna be some stuff done for this holiday, don't you worry.

At the very least, we're gonna be showing some themed movies and having some candy.
