[For the past few days, Gohan has been noticing changes in the worlds he's been visiting while on patrol. Sinister changes. Evil changes. And Gohan doesn't like it one bit.]

What's going on in all those other Earths? There's been all sorts of creepy decorations going up and even creepier stuff being sold in stores.

You never heard of Halloween?

[return-my-rice.livejournal.com]

...Nuh-uh. What's Halloween?

[onlyatrainkillr.livejournal.com]

It's a kid's holiday where they go door to door in costumes to get candy. It's based off an older festival where scary decorations are put up and masks are worn to scare away evil spirits.

[return-my-rice.livejournal.com]

...That's all it is?

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

I don't know. It's weird!

Although the stores do seem to be selling lots more candy than normal...

[return-my-rice.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, that too! It really makes me wonder what's up. I mean, how are creepy things supposed to be connected with candy?

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

Maybe the candy's supposed to help keep evil spirits away?

Or the decorations are for that?

[return-my-rice.livejournal.com]

But then why would the decorations look evil, too?

Hm... Given everything I've heard, I can only assume one thing... All of these worlds are being affected by some inter-dimensional force. It's spreading its influence and manipulating people subtly, taking over their thoughts. It sounds like we have another incident in our hands.

[return-my-rice.livejournal.com]

Really? But we haven't heard anything from Mr. Morrison yet.

[in-laquetti.livejournal.com]

That's only because it isn't much of a threat... right now, that is. Rest assured, though... It's growing in power little by little as each day passes. This is only phase one of the transformation. By the very end, everybody will undergo metamorphosis and become the monster itself.

This has been happening in my world too...

[return-my-rice.livejournal.com]

Then shouldn't someone tell Mr. Morrison or the council?

[gegege-no-ge.livejournal.com]

Ah... it's that American holiday that's been catching on. Not that youkai mind. Anything that makes humans remember the supernatural is not such a bad thing, even though I wish they would take it more seriously.

[return-my-rice.livejournal.com]

American holiday?

[gegege-no-ge.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Halloween, I think it's called. I've heard it's based around a holiday dedicated to youkai in the West.

A familiar eyeball pops up.

Or, more specifically, dedicated to the dead! But it's been rather expanded upon, as I understand!

[return-my-rice.livejournal.com]

Oh, Halloween? Someone else told me about that.

[not-thief.livejournal.com]

Creepy? Seemed kinda festive to me.

[return-my-rice.livejournal.com]

But it's witches and skeletons and stuff.

[not-thief.livejournal.com]

And bright orange plastic pumpkins with smiley faces on them.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Shit, Halloween. I MISSED Halloween. Bit of a culture shock, but hey, free candy.

[return-my-rice.livejournal.com]

[Anna, you just said the magic words.]

F-free candy...?

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Yeah, some kid's holiday round the end of October. Costume parties and houses handing out candy.

[redcaphero.livejournal.com]

It's called Halloween! The creepy stuff is just for show.

[He should know, he absolutely loves Halloween.]

[return-my-rice.livejournal.com]

It's just for show? But why?

[redcaphero.livejournal.com]

Because Halloween is a time to be scared!
