[In the background, the siren call of cats meowing heartily as Rose feeds them. ]

Three things, all of vague importance. I am stuck between two costumes and want them both as a surprise. So: pink or blue?

[Meow, meow - and a huff from Rose.] Secondly if I hear of a single black cat being harrassed I will be paying personal visits to any and all perpetrators to teach the value of feline care. And the third - thank you to whoever decorated my yard. This has been the best gift I have received all year. How does one get a skeleton to skateboard? With great skill, obviously.

[She is so blessed.] Anyway, happy Halloween and all that.

Aᴄᴛ III - VIDEO

So I've been here a few months and I still can't find a place to rent a movie. Anyone got a Halloween-themed marathon going tonight?

[Crane had always been possessed of a deep fascination of Halloween and its related celebrations and symbols; pumpkins, corn-husks and scarecrows that stand tattered in the cornfields. Death and evil, black and orange. The ending of the harvest and the beginning of winter. And the good old-fashioned principle of scaring people.

He's been observing people discussing costume and telling stories. But in his mind, there's no real love of the horror of this night.

Story time? Story time!]

( A message arrives with a flickering series of letters. )

Anyone out there throwing a sweet Halloween party should totally throw an invite my way. I am so bored and don't want to spend tonight doing nothing fun.

[ The man onscreen is well-dressed, though not in any costume to speak of. He's so large, it's possibly because he simply couldn't find one inhis size. ]

Though I don't normally lend my services publicly, I think perhaps given recent events and the nature of tonight's holiday, this may perhaps be the night to do it.

My name is Baymax, and I'm a particularly strong and imposing individual. If anyone feels unsafe on the street tonight, please don't hesitate to contact me and I will escort you safely to your destination.

Depending on what city you're in, there may be a delay in my arrival.

[The video turns on to a image of a desk almost overflowing with paperwork. In addition to the piles, there are a few mugs of cold tea here and there as well as a plastic jack o' lantern filled to the brim with candy.

Roy sits behind the desk, looking less than pleased, a pair of plastic devil horns haphazardly put on his head. He stares at the video for a little bit, before speaking in an annoyed and forced tone, as if he were reading from a cue card.]

Despite the excitement of tonight's holiday, there are those who wish to celebrate with more than just candy. While your actions are completely up to you, those of us working at the police stations wish to remind you to please consider the consequences behind some of them. Unfortunately, tonight tends to be one of our busiest nights, and we would prefer not to see too many people locked up in here. [He pauses, stares at the screen again for a few seconds before slowly continuing:] Help us save you by drinking responsibly.

We are also currently armed with buckets of candy. [He mechanically gestures to the jack o'lantern by his elbow.] Should you have any children who wish to visit, we are accepting monsters and characters of all kinds. We appreciate your support. Have a safe and happy Halloween.

[There's some congratulatory agreements from other officers out of view. Roy all but rolls his eyes, but when he speaks again it's much more relaxed and not from a cue card.]

Which reminds me, if anyone happens to have any more information about the group of people who targeted the last swear in, I would be interested to hear it.  Even if it's something small, it may help us understand their intentions a little more.  If you wish to contact me privately, the name is Colonel Roy Mustang.

[As if remembering he has the devil horns on, Roy quickly pulls them off and throws them into the trash before turning off the feed.]
