You leave the safety of the upstairs to enter the unfamiliar downstairs. Music fills your ears. It sounds familiar. It certainly turns the new into safe, comforting, and collected.
As mentioned before, your next Halloween will be with Meowrage, and he'll wear some TRANSformer costume, and you a spamton one. However, due to this new information of you entering the medium yourself, and Meowrage being here too, you don't think that Halloween seems viable. You don't know if Trolls have halloweens, you think to ask Terzei.
SB: Hey, TZ, do trolls have Halloween?

GC: W3LL, NOW YOU KNOW
You take a moment to recollect about fun times you've had on Halloween. It started when you saw something about Halloween on a package for a Doc Monalds Mirthful Meal that trailed its way into the underground. Looking back, that's actually why your sister's first act in the aboveground was to go to Doc Monalds, because she wanted to go get some food that she only fantasized about.
Every year since the first time you and Mew Mew left the underground, your friend group has gone on Halloween excursions to places. The first year was in Indigo city, which was very strange because Meowrage's dad didn't want anything to do with you all. The next year you went to Suki's house, which at the time, was in an extremely rich neighborhood, and so you got not king-sized bars, but dictator-sized bars, made specifically by Betty Crocker. It goes without saying, but every year since you've all went back to that candy jackpot.
Of course, now that you're way older (you're not 8 anymore), your plans have grown from candy hording to chaos wrecking. That is why this year you were supposed to go back to Indigo city and egg a bunch of cats' houses there.
After listening to the song for a while, you look at the credits to find out whether it was an original song or not, and find out that it was a song by Toby Fox, and it was made for STAFFcirc. That name sounds familiar. It is! That's the group your sister hangs out with every other weekend, leaving you home alone. The very thought leads you into a spiral of distrust, much akin to finding out that your favourite snack was made by your archrival; or that bestiality exists; or that all the story you've been reading for the past 5 years, whose plot is very convoluted, has a convoluted plot. The very spiral continues into the next page, tommorow.
