[The video opens zoomed in on—a spider. Don't worry, it isn't a real spider, it's a clearly fake tarantula attached to a web made out of cotton stuck to the ceiling, and when the camera starts to zoom out, it's clear that this fake tarantula is one of many plastic spiders dangling from the ceiling, with plastic bats in flight hanging on strings to complete the Spookiness of the bakery this video's taking place in.

Then the video shakes a little, the camerawoman getting up from her seat to walk over to the display of pastries. There's a tray of cupcakes that's decorated with orange icing and tiny little ghosts stuck on the top with a stick, in keeping with the theme that's currently going.

The camera turns to reveal Veronica, wearing this piece with a blue scarf.]

I just realized that it's the same month now that it was back home, when I got dragged here. [She says this in a tone of slight surprise.] I didn't really celebrate Halloween then, because [multiple people were dead by then and it kind of slipped her mind] I was brought here before the last week of October. But hey, apparently, I get a redo.

[Yaaaaay.]

So does anyone have any recommendations about horror movies? The cheesier the better, but I'm not opposed to horror movies that are actually scary.

[A pause. Then:] And, I'm just curious, how many people here come from a world where Halloween doesn't exist? Because, if so, happy first Halloween, you're going to see a lot more of this [gesturing vaguely towards the decorations hanging from the ceiling] until November.

Do you have an ideas? For a costume, I mean?

[ And what should he do? He'd passed several stores with brightly colored displays for Halloween but hadn't paid them much attention. Now he'll have to go back and take a better look. ]

So you're saying most holidays are just excuses to stay home from obligations.

I actually already have a costume for the night.

[Be impressed! Never mind that it wasn't made for Halloween in the first place.]

I don't know. It's really up to you—as long as you don't throw on your usual clothes and call it a night, it'll work. Or—oh my god. [Gleeful:] You could go as Kay.

[Veronica Sawyer confirmed for Chaotic Evil, holy shit.]

Pretty much, yep. You're almost obliged to stay home on the holidays.

What is it? Is it a surprise?

[ Chances are, he won't know what it even is. Still not up on your pop culture.

There's a moment of silence, and he busts out in laughter at the suggestion, biting out a response through his cackling: ]

I -- I think I'm a little short for a droid.

[ That's not an outright no, though. Not sure how Kay would take that one. ]

So an Earth year is 365 days -- and you seem to have all kinds of holidays, so that's a lot of days off?
