81. [Video/Action for Ecruteak]
Hey, 'Zilla, you got the 'Gear?
This stuff NEEDS to be documented.
[That's the first thing that can be heard over the feed. When the camera first comes on, a pair of large, familiar reptilian red eyes are blinking down at it. Is it recording...? Oh, okay, recording! Good.]
[Then it zooms out a little, enough to show-- HEY! That's not the Totodile that last hijacked the 'Gear!]
[With newly black-rimmed eyes, a proud red crest, and a new ultra-manly thickened jaw, it would seem that the bratty little Totodile who'd last been seen moping on the network over whether or not he was a good Pokemon... had finally evolved, after a whole year of wanting to stay 'the baby' of the gang. What prompted his choice to finally start growing up?]
[Well, that's a story that'll have to wait till later, because he lets out a satisfied snort at the sight of the red recording light, and then turns it away from himself-- only for the screen to IMMEDIATELY be filled with a grotesquely-detailed rubber Mightyena mask, snarling and sporting a wild mane of black hair over the top!]
RAAAARRLLGGHHBLAAARG!
[... Oh wait. The black hair is just Heather.]
[She yanks the mask off, grinning widely.]
I can't even handle all these epically cheesy costumes, man. Some things really ARE universal.
[The camera shifts a little-- it's from a much higher vantage-point than normal now, considering all the previous times the camera-croc's been the one filming, it's been from a vantage point on the FLOOR unless he was able to persuade Honey the Butterfree to carry him-- and it becomes apparent that they're in a costume store. There's rack after rack of jumbled costumes everywhere-- looks like it's already been pretty thoroughly ransacked by local kids, but there's still plenty of stuff left. It's just... everywhere.]
[Hanging the mask back up, Heather bends down to start picking through the other odds and ends, which range from cheesy and cheap-looking to actually fairly interesting.]
Maybe this time around, we'll actually get to ENJOY the holiday instead of spend the whole time running away from rips in the fabric of space and time...
[OOC: Action for anybody in Ecruteak, obviously! Feel free to assume your character is already in the shop, Heather will gladly harass them to try on stupid costume crap with her. Also feel free to address the camera-croc.]

Well, it's a holiday. People dress up in costumes and eat candy and go door to door for free stuff all night.
[video]
Why do people dress up? What's the point?
[video]
Anyway, I dunno the history, but I think it's something about dressing up scarily to scare away evil spirits? In the old days, anyway. Now it's just for fun.
[video]
So... it's basically a meaningless holiday now?
[video]
That depends on what you find meaning in, and that's different for everybody.
[video]
[video]
But for me?
[She ticks off points on her fingers.]
Running around with friends, getting free candy, and maaaaybe getting to play pranks on people I don't like. Y'know. If there's any around.
[video]
[video]
It's awesome.
It's free.
People just give it to you. ... If you're dressed up.
[video]
[video]
Usually you go out with your friends after dark, and walk door to door. When you get to the door, you knock and once they answer, you have to say 'Trick or treat'.
... And then, if they do THEIR part, they're supposed to give you candy.
[video]
[video]
[Heather holds up a matter-of-fact finger.]
Well, they could refuse.
And if that happens, that's where the fun part comes in.
[More fun than getting free candy? SAY IT AIN'T SO!]

Not DESTROY it.
You'd probably get arrested for that.
Just... you know. Mess it up a bit. Throw eggs and tomatoes at it.
Or wrap toilet paper around the base. ... Or tape some doors shut.
[video]
[video]
But it's fun.

... It might be an acquired taste, though.
Not everybody's cut out for troublemaking.
