what a horrible night to have a curse.
[Halloween, as with many other holidays, suffers from a long, long history of synthesis and appropriation. The Gaelic Samhain, the Christian traditions across the ages, the secularized forms -- Emerald London sees fit to consume them all. That's just the nature of the city. That's just how things are.
So how does it look on this fine autumn night? Somehow, some way, even worse than usual. Idiot teenagers trying to prove a point let transformed relatives loose in the streets. Tomorrow, there'll probably be a handful of murders reported in the paper, but so it goes. It's really not all bad. The local covens, in honor of Nyarlathotep, litter the same streets with free food!
Free food laced and cut with all manner of drugs and toxins and god-knows-what, leaving the optionless poor... also rioting in the streets. So it... goes?
So it goes you should stay out of the slums and residential areas. The local honey dens and other clubs are offering fortune telling services tonight for a reduced price. Some wealthy socialites are hosting costume parties, with such fun games as "hey let's sacrifice someone to try summoning this horror" or "let's prick your fingers to see when you'll die." Beggars wearing horse heads go from door to door demanding funds. Assholes in masks and outfits make it difficult to distinguish friend from foe from monster tonight - it's no surprise the death rates skyrocket around Halloween.
But it's nice. It's warm, and the air is crisp and cool. It's a perfect night for an outing.
If you're lucky, maybe you'll even find a group serving unpoisoned food.]

[She can't really feel bad when she puts it that way. Ever Mary Whisperer Number Two, Kido knows exactly how to brighten her up.]
I want bugs...! But I think we should get chocolate for Kano and Seto too...

No problem then. Just keep your hood up and hold my hand, all right? No one will even know you're here.

[She doesn't necessarily approve of the inevitable theft they're about to commit. It's yet another mark against them - all the more reason for people to treat them like monsters, but, well.
It's necessary. It's a mark against them, but it's not as if they have a choice. They say it's okay, and all of Them say it's okay, so logically, it must be okay. So she'll just give it her all.]
Let's go, Kido!
[Then she pumps her fist and pulls her hood close around her head. It looks ridiculous.]
