Did everyone get out of the maze alright?

[ added a little later ]

Since I'm sure no one really got around to it yesterday, anyone who wants to come trick-or-treating at my door is more than welcome. We shan't let the castle ruin the holiday, shall we?

Trick-or-treating?

Or, to put it more succinctly: free candy.

Oh, that is like what I did last year! I did not know it had a name.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Neither did I, until I did some reading on it. It's very popular.

What was Halloween like last year?

[silentrefrain.livejournal.com]

Was there Halloween where you are from?

It was [a small scribble] quieter. There was a very scary house, but I think that was the worst thing that happened. A lot of people dressed up.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Indeed there was. Trick or treating, however, or that phrase, at least, is a bit ahead of my time.

Ah. Much more pleasant than hordes of undead monsters. Evidently Paradisa thought we were in need of a step up.

[silentrefrain.livejournal.com]

That's intre interesting. Where I am from, Halloween was something people did a long time ago.

Undead [she writes it to remember, then scribbles it out] The monsters are not fun, but at least people are mostly okay this time.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Oh? Do you know why the celebration of the holiday ceased?

Which I'm mostly thankful for. I trust you stayed safe throughout, Nill?

[silentrefrain.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Someone once told me there used to be four seasons there, but then it stopped. I think Halloween stopped at the same time. Maybe people forgot?

Yes. I stayed in the church.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

...That's a little sad. That people would forget, and that the seasons would disappear like that. [ how curious ] What happened?

Good. I'm glad.

I thought it was okay, but now that I am here... I think I like having seasons better. Warm weather is nice.

I don't know how it happened. Bad pe Scientists did something, I think... But that is all I have heard. I think it is like something that happens very slowly, like way back in history.

Mm, summer in Paradisa was wonderful. Diversity makes everything interesting.

[ thoughtfully ] It had to be something big indeed, to have such an effect. But thank you, for telling me what you know.
